Building up Debris still. I got 12 eps saved and I very much hope it maintains the quality of the the pilot episode I watched a few months ago.

I have heard that DEBRIS is fantastic.

Sadly, no Canadian networks picked it up and so the only way to watch it legally here is to watch it on the NBC feed, and I've not had cable in years.

Oh well, it will eventually show up for purchase on iTunes.

So did anyone in the UK actually think that the UK contribution to the Eurovision was good?

I missed it this year but all the Brexit morons have gone nuts about it and started ranting about how maybe we should get points for saving everyone in WWII. And no, that's not a joke.

Umbrella Academy Season 2---good except for the relative levels of music and dialogue. Turn it up loud enough to hear what they're mumbling, and the music becomes loud enough to hurt my ears and possibly annoy the neighbors. The parts without much bass have piercing high frequencies. WTF.

Have to choose between using subtitles or switching to my shitty laptop speakers to make it bearable.

Exterminate All the Brutes.

Holy crap guys, I'm not going to give any little clue as to what it is about (Bing it), but you really should give it a watch. I've two episodes left and flippin' A, I'm gobsmacked. I haven't seen Josh Hartnett in anything for quite awhile, but I think this will have everyone hating him and he will be henceforth identified with this. Makes sense you would have ONE actor as "the face" to represent the oppression and brutality , but damn, that's a bold decision on his part to accept that role.

5 minutes and 40 seconds into Jimmy Carr: Funny Business (2016) and I’m already dying. Never heard of this guy till yesterday. Gave me the jollies when he described/translates The West Country as Louisiana. Good stuff so far.

You've never heard of Jimmy Carr before?!

I think lots of Brits find him irritating, but I think he's hilarious, and you should check out 8 OF 10 CATS videos online...it's a panel show Carr hosts (usually with other comedians) and it's consistently great and funny. One fo the funny guys I also like is on it a lot (Sean Lock).

Sample:

My mate has the exact same laugh as Jimmy Carr it's hilarious. We rip him for it all the time.


Another quiz show of his to check out is The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, it's pretty epic.

That laugh has to be a very practiced gimmick yeah? I just tried it and choked. Now my throat is a bit sore.

I've seen him live and I actually think it's his normal laugh as he laughs like that all the time, especially when he really loses his shit and has a laugh attack. It's a laugh to stop traffic.

If you like 8 out of 10 cats..., you really should check out '8 out of 10 cats does Countdown'. It is actually much better than the original show, at least in my opinion. It was originally meant as a one-off spoof show for a national charity event, where they mashed two completely different TV shows for a laugh. But it proved such a hilarious concept that they turned it into a full show, which has been running for several seasons now alongside the original 8 out of 10 cats. It has the same teams captains (Lock and Richardson) and Jimmy Carr hosting it, but the addition of the Countdown game concept (which, for those of you who don't know it is a very long-running daytime TV game show where candidates have to form words from selected letters and solve maths equations, quite serious and Mastermind-y) really took the setting to a whole new level.

[edit]oh sorry, Just realised that the Youtube clip you had added was actually form 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown, not 8 out of 10 cats. They are two different shows, though.

Yeah, saw him live ages ago as well. Definitely his real laugh.

Jimmy Carr is a real life pinocchio doll that came to life. That laugh you hear is a mechanic bellows hidden in his chest cavity.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that there are two shows.

Hells to the yes! Mr Inbetween returned for season 3.

The promotional poster is rad.

Just watched the forgettable trailer for The Tomorrow War.

I've realized that all sci-fi stories, that involve warfare and take place in the future, have been ruined for me. All I could think while watching the trailer was "Why don't they just use military drones instead of humans?"

This is basically the answer to any future combat scenario where you don't come up with some Skynet clause.

Why aren't the Star Destroyers droids, Apt? Why!?!

Indeed.

Worse...if you're going back in time to recruit soldiers for your war with aliens and thus have access to time travel tech, why not just go back and prepare better for the invasion? I have WAY too many questions about that movie for it to be any good.

Oh, and they are still using bullets 30+ years in the future....and not some form of railgun or lasers....but they have time travel tech? Feck off.

It's because the Star Wars universe is prejudiced against robots. When R2D2 writes it's memoirs it's going to be called 212 years a slave.

I forgot about Lucifer during the first season because it was a travesty of a TV adaption.

[QuickTidal]

I have bashed through almost all 5 of the seasons available on Netflix of SUPERSTORE (The 6th season is not yet on CDN Netflix). You know this has fast become one of my fave shows, it's just really fun to watch, and there have been some FUNNY episodes. And I like everyone to varying degrees for different reasons, but Cheyanne is still my favourite.

There's one ep where Bo comes to work as a Seasonal employee and is wearing a shirt with someone giving the middle finger and the finger is also a dick...and he spends the rest of the episode wearing a Minions shirt as a result and I could not stop laughing. I don't know why.

Found out this 3rd season will be the last season. And the way the season opens in the first two episodes you can tell it is going to be the last season and it seems like it won't be a happy ending. Hope I'm wrong.
