It's fucking awesome isn't it.
Less epic but very enjoyable, The Diplomat. Great evening TV.

Death of Stalin
I've still not watched this, had it downloaded for ages, maybe now is the time.

It's excellent.

It’s amazing

I think it's the only film that ever had me snort-laughing in the cinema.
-

I just don't get the love, I thought it was painfully unfunny and boring. On paper it had me all over it 😬

I suppose once you've wanked off to the poster the film will always be a bit of a let down.

Once Upon A Time In Northern Ireland is excellent. Hard going but essential viewing IMO

Death of Stalin was fine, certainly not laugh out loud funny, wry amusement at parts.

My review exactly.

Possibly of interest to some, assessment of the film by somebody who used to work in the USSR's propaganda ministry.
The most genuine of them all are the uniformed MGB/NKVD officers. I have never seen in any foreign film such a brilliant depiction of men who combined the surly, brutal composure of professional executioners with the permanent expectation of a swift, and often painful, death from their own bosses (or just the guy next to them).

Late to the party again, started watching Lovecraft Country. 3 episodes in, I don't mind if it doesn't keep up the pace all the way because so far it's been quite something. More horror shows should have Gil Scott-Heron on the soundtrack.

Was it the historical accuracy that had you snort-laughing?
-

Being a history nerd with a keen interest in that era, I was one of the people thinking "Hang on, Zhukov was in political exile at this point". But not caring much because it wasn't a documentary and I thought it was funny.
Did you even read the linked review? It didn't exactly call it historically accurate. I shared it for those genuinely interested, not to try to win an argument about how funny or not the film is.

The Arnold 3 parter on Netflix is a great watch. Really enjoyed it.

That latest Tour de France documentary on Netflix- Am I the only one that thought the overdubbing and narration completely wrecks it? What’s wrong with subtitles, do they think we’re all too thick to follow?

You can choose subtitles.

That latest Tour de France documentary on Netflix
It’s like watching a 30 minute trailer, I can’t deal with it.
-

You can put subtitles on
-

Pretty sure @thegreatbelow knows that. They're finding both the dubbing and narration so bad they would also have to turn the sound off to improve things.
-

I'm guessing you can turn the dubbing off at the same time, netflix is normally pretty good with language and subtitle options.

Ours has played it in the original language, we just put subtitles on
Just started watching Black-ish, loving it so far.
