Thor: Ragnarok

Loved it. Yes it's flawed and quite possibly will not hold up on multiple viewings but on first watch I really enjoyed it.

I watched this today. I was surprised just how much it was played for laughs but I thought it was a lot of fun.

Yeah, I had heard that it had a few laughs in it but it was played rather a lot. It was funny but sometimes felt like it could have been dialled back just a notch.

Wonder (PG)
Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson

Heart-warming drama about a young boy with facial disfigurements going to school for the first time.
It was a perfect movie for my date last night.

[Antiriad2097]

You're no Sean Connery but I think you're doing yourself down a little with that one

[sscott]

Finished Stranger things 2. Decent jaunt. Started Punisher, ready for some violence and unremitting flashbacks of punishers family being killed!

big bang theory, finally after years of people telling me to watch.

Stop after season three, trust me when I say to...

[Antiriad2097]

Or don't. We still watch, it's 20 minutes of fluff. Yes, it's become a parody of itself, but I still get a laugh from every episode. It was never high drama anyway.

I enjoy the Big Bang theory too. I think bringing in all the women during season 3 actually transforms a show, which was stagnating. Like antiriad says it's fluff, but it's enjoyable enough fluff.
I'm currently rewatching the first 8 seasons of scrubs. I love it.

SAUSAGE PARTY - hilariously offensive
DC SUPER GIRLS INTERGALACTIC GAMES - nice
MINIONS - brilliantly unoffensive and a big laugh
DESPICABLE ME 3 - quality anarchy with some really cute moments

[Antiriad2097]

Surprised to see someone here watching DC Superhero Girls. I stumbled on it for the grandkids, they love it, and I like that it's getting them away from princesses to more interesting things I can watch with them. Very much aimed at young girls this one though.

Some of the toys can be had cheap. There's a 6 inchish figure line that can be good value and the kids like that size to play with, though they're limited in the number of characters available. There's quite a few in the show I've not seen figures of yet. The larger Barbie size line has a couple more, but even that is limited.

There's a web series of short episodes if anyone wants to find out what it's like.

season 1 and apparently the only 1 of MAKING HISTORY

daffy and flies through, but anarchic and funny, and leighton meeston is obviously channeling a young julie hagerty and is cute as a button too

[Darran@Retro Gamer]

I recently invested in a 4K Blu-Ray player, so I've been doing a bit of binge watching lately.
Over the last couple of weeks I've watched.

Trolls - Terribly bland with an amazing Justin Timberlake song
Baby Driver - Really enjoyable and certainly miles better than The World's End
Planet Earth II - Looks absolutely sensational and full of astonishing set pieces
Terminator 2 - Picked up the 3D version and you'd think it was made in the format. Still holds up brilliantly.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - still wonderful, with an amazing soundtrack
Kingsman The Secret Service - What James Bond films should be in my eyes.

Still got more to watch, including Guardians 2, T2: Trainspotting, John Wick 2 and a couple of others.

[RetroAerosmith]

Upgraded to sky cinema so been binge recording and reliving classics.

Rewatched Misery, still a great movie

Bad Santa - heard good things about it, didnt like it. Didnt like billy bob thingy either.

Ive yet to watch suicide squad, star wars story and a few old disney

[Seadog74]

Actually watching the re run of Babylon 5. Never watched it all back in the day.
