Still on django.
Its rather ponderous, peppered with backstories (which i find tedious and mostly unnecessary anyway) - why are today's screenwriters/directors so fucking obsessed with inserting endless backstory? - i mean who cares? 90% of it is filler anyway. Save backstory for the crucial bits if you have to.
So far, aside from ticking woke boxes (and chucking in brokeback mountain) the production really doesnt seem to know what it wants to be and 4 episodes could have been condensed into 1 good one.
That said Naomi Rapace chews up scenery as the bitter but sexy religious-nut villain.

Stranger Things I thought it was about time I started on this & I'm four episodes into season one...& it's great.
Very late to the party again but ive been watching this last few weeks. Getting to the end of series 3.
Im still not sure how i feel about it and its a real grind putting up with so many supremely annoying kids and lots of unnecessary screaming and hysteria and interminable bickering. The other negative thing about it is theyve chucked in almost every conceivable element from other films, so Poltergeist, the Goonies, ET, Carrie, the Blob, The Terminator, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and many many more.
Overall, im kinda intrigued where it goes and still watching. Id imagine the 12 to 16 age group love it.

It's funny, I haven't gone on to watch the other season of that show yet, I don't know why, I did enjoy that first season. And sorry Bill, I did have the Breaking Bad box set all ready to view, but I started on my 4K Game Of Thrones instead. Really enjoying it, but I got half way through season two & stopped, & that was about three weeks ago. I'll probably start up again next week, I think that I'm just not good at binge watching, I managed to stretch out Mad Men for three years (& the same with Dexter, & I still haven't looked at New Blood yet).

Lol. I think centuries ago poncey probably did mean effete. However, it has evolved as a sort of slang for posh or illusions of grandeur or unnecessarily over-elaborate.
So a peppermint n camomile tea could be described as a poncey tea. Geddit?
Also, english language has a lot of double meanings. For instance a ponce is someone who scams a cigarette or a drink off people without paying or ever reciprocating. A scrounger.
Probably because i used the word, DiB decided to call me Earl of Poncey (and TG was Lord Castlemouldy).
