Just finished The Rig........ meh!

Yep.

Thought it started well - good prospects...then......



re: The Last Of Us - havent got sky Atlantic as on Virgin Media, but the first episode has got me wanting more, so eagerly waiting the next episode.

Just watched Tin Cup for the first time in a few years. I've seen it a few times.

Spoiler

It's funny, the ending never sat right with me until this viewing. I was always gutted with how it panned out. This viewing I think I appreciated the point of it a lot more. Rene Russo's character got him and he really did get what he always sought out.... infamy.

It's a fun film for anyone that's not seen it and an enjoyable one to watch again for anyone that has

I’m making my way through a US Navy saves the World Series at the moment. The Last Ship.

Not my normal cup of tea, and some questionable elements (and at time acting - bad guys that just don’t portray bad guys lol) to it but I’m about to finish series 2 and happy to watch the rest.

I watched it years ago, and enjoyed it

some of it may resemble early days of the pandemic........... someone saw that coming

 

[SpyderTracks]

Watched the film Contagion right as the pandemic was breaking out and headline news with my elderly parents.

They requested it but had gotten the name confused with Outbreak lols.

That film is amazing but so damn relatable nowadays

 

[Steveyg]

Both Outbreak and Contagion are excellent. I am a sucker for a good viral outbreak movie though

Are there any others you'd recommend?

Yeah after that they get a bit more fantastical but I'd recommend Pontypool, Cabin Fever, Children of Men, 12 Monkeys, Night of the Comet and probably a few more but that's off the top of my head

Great there's a few there I haven't seen, love me some outbreak films

Strongly recommend Pontypool for a very different take on the idea of an "outbreak"

yeah same here, when I started watching it I was wondering if it would live up to the hype, I was well into it within about 10 minutes, got to love the scene where he lifts the roof of the sentry post as he takes off...............
