TV and Films

I say Saul should be a contender for the west ham job ;lol

Pearces_Left_Foot

I think Saul would work well with Harry and Rosie the Dog ;lol

I realize it's cinema and not TV but go and see the "Spooks for the greater good" movie just out its great. My youngest son was the production coordinator on it. He's doing really well in the movie industry and has worked his way up from "runner". We used to have to sit right through the end credits like a couple of wallies to see his name and the cinema would be empty. Now it appears right after the cast so we don't look quite so daft.
He's now working on the movie of Assassins Creed. 100 million dollar budget so if it ain't any good I'll have lots of fun taking the michael. ;biggrin

seen that Spooks film, a lot of people have criticised it saying its just an extended episode of Spooks. To be frank i think there is truth in that, but thats what i like about th film. It doesn't go all action hyped or go away from its roots. Think it was done very well. Shame some of the other cast members couldn't get involved but the main man Harry Pearce was there which was pretty much all you needed.

Assassins Creed should be fun ^_^

Have seen the trailer for 'Spooks' Giant, it looks very good ;clap Your son sounds like he's got a cool job ;bowdown

Giant_Hammer

Yeold. 75% of it was filmed on the Isle of Man apparently. ;ok

Yeoldhammer

seeing Mad Max tonight "Its a LOVELY Day, A LOVELY DAY"

Pearces_Left_Foot

Jealous Yeold apparently its very good let us know what you think

Giant_Hammer

Twist, yes it is cool but very long hours, 5 am to 10 pm not unusual and some of the "stars" and producers he deals with are demanding to say the least. However, some of them are really nice people and he's one of those people with endless patience who gets along with everyone. Unlike his old man. ;lol

grey_til_I_dye

ASLEFshrugged

Grey - he quit and then came back again, he could quit again before it comes out.

Ye old - no, the original Mad Max with Mel Gibson before he became famous and went totally hatstand cannot be beat.

Anybody watch "Just call Saul"?

OutcastLondoner

Yep, finished Just Call Saul. I enjoyed it, ends when you want it to get going though.

There are a fair few 'slow' episodes, generally used to develop the characters involved.

But just stick with it. It's worth it. Genius.

GoT has only been running a short while Yeold, the book for this season was quite thick (unless they are planning two series from it) so it should have longer to run, there have been a couple of departures from the book though - the election of Jon Snow to Commander of the nights watch was a bit more involved in the book, Sam and his crows had more of a hand in it with an almost unanimous vote in favour.

Sana Stark was kept at the Eyrie by Petyr Baelish (he got rid of her aunts rug rat and took the Castle, Lands and Titles as his own by right of marriage and intended to marry Sansa as the replacement for not winning the hand of her mother) and Ramsay Bolton was married to a girl who used to be a Servant at Winterfell who had a more than a passing resemblance to Arya Stark in order to claim Winterfell, with Theon Greyjoy being the witness as to her authenticity as Arya.

There are a couple of other things as well so I can only think that at some point there will be a major departure from the stories in the books to maybe make the TV series a bit more interesting and viewer friendly. I am sort of hoping it is regarding one of the main characters demise in the not too distant future (which I think is the biggest turn off for most, just gets interesting and they get the chop) - will be very interesting if they are kept alive.

Also there is a conspicuous absence of young Brandon Stark (the one who cant walk) so far, maybe he is in later episodes but I am sure he should be in there.

MrsGrey

;lol I so enjoyed reading that. It made absolutely no sense whatsoever ;wahoo

AdMeus_CaputFilius

Not a Throney then Mrs G?

MrsGrey

;lol Not at all.

I like fantasy epics, historical dramas, dynastic and internecine batles AND swords and sorcery-dragony type stuff. So it seems on face value that it would be my kind of thing, but I have to confess that from what I have read - reviews, comments, etc - it doesn't appeal.
