  1. Yeah, Gemstones is fucking great. Judy Gemstone is legit one of the all time funniest TV characters and Walton Goggins has been in about 500 things but he's always going to be Baby Billy to me.
  2. The Baby Billy's Bible Bonkers scene (''running the church...and running around'') is the best TV scene of the year, with the possible exception of Richie singing Love Story in The Bear (I'm totally not getting involved in the discussion of whether Carmy could have got locked in that walk in or not). I had legit not seen Edi Patterson in anything before I watched Gemstones but she's just one of those actors that every line delivery and facial expression is hilarious. You just know it takes about 50 takes to get through some of the scenes on that show with people corpsing so much.
  3. I've recently started re-watching Arrested Development (well, the original 3 seasons anyways) and there's a chance it might be the greatest sitcom ever made. Jessica Walters is fucking tremendous, she's one of those actors that every line and facial expression is funny.
  4. So, ah, yeah Sisu fucking RULES. It's about a mean as fuck old Finnish dude who kills a bunch of Nazis. That's it, that's the review. I mean, what more do you need? I also watched John Wick 4. It was John Wick but 3 hours long with repetitive boring fight scenes and completely po-faced and weirdly dull.
  5. I watched Shrinking, I didn't notice too many people talking about it but I liked the fuck out of it. Harrison Ford plays good curmudgeon but likable old fuck (who'd a thunk?) and I'm pretty sure Liz and Derek (as in, the fucking GREAT Christa Miller and Ted McGinley) are my wife's all time favourite TV couple. The show is what it is; it's by the Ted Lasso dudes and, yeah, I like it.
  6. This is Going to Hurt is one of the best TV shows of the last 5 or 10 years and is both a testament to the good people of the NHS and a horrible indictment of a broken system that has been allowed to prevail in a Tory led government and is a TV show which is both simultaneously hilarious and heart breaking. I watched it recently for the first time and it is fucking GREAT.
  7. So, yeah, I re-watched Glengarry Glen Ross on Amazon just because I figured what the fuck, why not. Some of the homophobic insults and shit stick out like a sore thumb but it holds up so fucking well. I mean, Jack Lemmon's performance? Holy fucking shit, you're talking about one of the all time great film performances in history; the desperation of that character oozes out of Lemmon in every fucking scene, it's fucking palpable. But then I looked it up and see Pacino was nominated for the Oscar for doing an average I'M AL PACINO AND I DELIVER EVERY LINE LIKE THIS performance but Lemmon didn't get a look in? I also watched Cocaine Bear. I mean, it was a bear on cocaine and, yet, it didn't go anywhere near as ridiculous as I wanted it to.
  8. Even more ridiculous were the - and there's no other way of putting this - orgasmic sex noises playing in the BBC studio from a phone which sounded like the ringtone Larry fucking Flynt would have had while Lineker, Paul Ince and Danny Murphy desperately tried to stay straight faced throughout. We were treated to the surreal and hilarious sight of Danny Murphy talking about Lopetegui's attacking football while trying to talk over what sounded like a full blown orgy was happening followed by a face of thunder from Murphy after Lineker joked it was him making the noises. Anyway, someone is getting fired and we've already had the best television moment of the year and it's only January.
  9. I'm not a big gamer, I've never played the game although I had obviously heard of it because I'm a human being who lives on planet Earth but I'm pretty much as 'unsullied' as they come when it comes to this and I fucking loved the first episode. Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, HBO, the dude who wrote probably the best piece of television of the 21st century in Chernobyl? Yeah, I'm all in on this.
  10. England there, getting their scapegoats in as usual.
  11. The ball from Kane's penalty just landed in my front garden. Jordan Pickford couldn't reach Tchouameni's shot with his tiny ickle T-Rex arms. Allez Les Bleus!
  12. For a pensioner Pepe took that header well. He must be 83 years old, I think the fucker played centre back in the Eusebio 1966 World Cup team, no doubt engaging in shithousery on Bobby Charlton in the semi final.
  13. McCoist getting more and more exacerbated by South Korea's defending to the point he could barely form words combined with his absolute joy at some of Brazil's attacking has been so fucking good. Now Roy Keane just said he's never seen so much dancing in his life and it's just like watching Strictly. Tremendous entertainment to be had all round.
  14. Lads, I think Brazil may have arrived. I've asked Santa Claus to please, please, please, please, please let me have a Brazil/Argentina semi final.
  15. Now THAT is motherfucking Brazil. What a fucking goal. Dear TV people, can we not just have Jon Champion and Ally McCoist commentate on every match? They sound like they actually enjoy being there, the likes of Jenas, Murphy and Dixon sound like they're commentating on a war crimes trial.
  16. Could USA and Wales not be more than shite just to give the English at least a little bit of competition in that group? Up until the goals, the 2nd half of the Holland-Senegal match was so bad it made even the eternally joyful Ally McCoist sound like he was commentating on a funeral.
  17. I re-watched Cracker recently, a lot of it actually doesn't hold up that well but, that being said, Coltrane is still fucking great in it and, in particular, the Carlyle/Coltrane Hillsborough episodes are still some of the best TV ever made. Coltrane absolutely roaring with laughter during the famous Billy Connolly incontinence trousers bit still cracks me the fuck up too.
  18. The so called offensive song which I'm sure people were absolutely aghast about and not just pretending to be has shot up the music charts both in the UK and Ireland which is weirdly funny to see seeing as this whole thing is an absolute bullshit manufactured controversy.
  19. Matt Berry and my all time favourite TV personality, Mr Bob Mortimer are very good friends and in Mortimer's book he describes Berry as a wholly unpretentious gem of a man who giggles like a big cuddly baby when amused and that the two along with Reece Shearsmith will meet for drinks occasionally with the sole purpose of gossiping about which of their comedy contemporaries are currently sitting around the dining table of 'The Lucky Club' with Berry being particularly hilariously ruthless in his assessments. To be a fly on the wall... Berry's increasingly ridiculous pronunciations of New York City in Shadows cracks me the fuck up every single time too but he's just one of those dudes that could read the phone book (they still produce phone books? I have no idea) out loud and be hilarious. That Go Flip Yourself episode was a billion trillion stars. Speaking of Mortimer, the new series of Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing started at the weekend, I posted about it before in the TV shows not from the States thread but, if you can watch it, please do. It's hilarious, life affirming and one of the most perfect TV shows ever made.
  20. I saw Everything Everywhere All At Once for the second time at the cinema over the weekend which is the first time I've gone to the cinema twice for a film since Fury Road. It's even better the second time.
  21. Aw man, the Seinfeld scene might well be my favourite sitcom scene ever. Playing a friggin' library investigations officer as a hardboiled cop show detective was just so fucking good; he is note fucking perfect in that scene. No surprise Seinfeld couldn't get through it without corpsing. ''Well, let me tell ya something, funny boy'' and 'Well, I got a flash for ya, joy boy, party time is over'' are still quotes me and a mate of mine will drop randomly to each other in messages. RIP to one of those actors who even if he was in something shit you knew at least he'd be good in it.
  22. Bob Mortimer is, without question, my all time favourite TV personality bar none.
  23. Real Madrid are old and slow as fuck and Liverpool will dominate them and beat them easy? No?
  24. You know, you pay your TV licence and a lot of times the BBC trots out a load of old shit but sometimes they'll produce little gems of a show. I re-watched (again) Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing and it is one such little gem. Mortimer is a man child and the most likeable person you will ever see on TV, Whitehouse is his grumpier friend, they go fishing, Mortimer falls over a lot, Whitehouse repeatedly shouts don't wind, Mortimer says he's not winding when he clearly is, they talk about mental health and men's health, they do impressions, they tell jokes, Mortimer falls over again, Whitehouse does Ted the dog's voice, Mortimer talks about his dad dying when he was young, Whitehouse scatters his own dad's ashes at his dad's favourite fishing spot, Fergal Sharkey shows up and they sing Teenage Kicks, they do some more fishing, Mortimer shows unparalleled joy at catching a fish and then falls over again, this is one long run-on sentence...and away. It is funny, life affirming, looks great, has a great soundtrack and is the most perfect fucking TV you will ever watch even if you don't give a shit about fishing.
  25. I mean, the BBC is just stating the facts there.
