    I just started watching Dark on Netflix. I’m 5 episodes in and I’m seriously considering phoning in sick today just so I can watch more. It’s incredible.

    Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, I think I was expecting more of a murder mystery but it turned out to be better than that. Highly recommended it.

    Music wise I feel like I’m late to the party with Idles but they are so good. Ultra Mono is a quality album.

      Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

      Really liked this too, even though I didn’t expect to.

      Thought it might be a bit of a drawn out slow drama, nope, it is an excellent movie!

      Some gems there among the Des O’Connor stuff. Cheers.

    Watched Smoking Causes Coughing a very weird French film. Best to go in blind!

    Listening to new album Dead Club City by Nothing But Thieves for the last week or so. Trying not to over play it.

    The prompt in this post reminds me of Jesse from The Fast Show (Mark Williams)

    “This week, I have mostly been…”

    So for the rest of this week i will mostly be bingeing every episode of the fast show on BBC iPlayer since I’m told they’re not expiring for another two more years.

    And then after the final Fast Show I’ll probably watch the anniversary special. Whitehouse’s Rowley Birkin QC is phenomenal in the sketch where he’s recounting a story of his youth without presently being drunk. Incredibly delivered and written in a poignant way that only British comedy seems able to achieve; à la Blackadder Goes Over The Top/Goodbyeee.

    Edit: this is the one. https://youtu.be/QlZFfXAUr2I

    We’re slowly working down a list of recommended horror films from a friend. I very much enjoyed There’s Something Wrong With The Children despite its reviews everywhere being fairly terrible. That said, one review I read said it got one star for not having “cool effects” so I think maybe that opinion can be discarded.

    Parents might find it a difficult watch in a couple places, fair warning.

    We also watched Men which was a beautiful, surreal and effectively unsettling two thirds of a film followed by just a load of artsy nonsense. So I have no idea how to rate it at all, but hey if you like artsy nonsense…

    Interested in quantum leap reboot coming to paramount tomorrow. Watched the original 25 years ago.

    Incredibly late to the party but I’m probably going to finish S1 of Happy Valley tonight. Flicking between that, The Witcher s3 (no idea what’s going on) and Taskmaster for a bit of light relief.

      I somehow was under the impression that Happt Valley was a comedy. Maybe a dark comedy, but comedy nonetheless. Boy was I wrong.

      That show was fucking GRIM. 1 season was enough for me.

        Yup, it definitely does not live up to the name. So good though. Haven’t started s2 yet, need to decompress for a bit.

    Last weekend I was rummaging around in the clearance bin at the local entertainment shop. I picked up One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and A Clockwork Orange for $5.00 each and Quatermass and the Pit for $2.95. That’s this weekend sorted for telly time. Mrs Spudger hasn’t seen any of these.

    Oh, and new speakers too, at long last.

    Late to the thread I know, but I’ve been watching Legion this week and I’ve no idea why I slept on this so long. It really is spectacular and I’m loving it.

      You’ve just reminded me that I never finished it. Will definitely stick it on my watchlist. I’ve been rewatching Silicon Valley, which is also great.
