scotfree Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I've been watching The Joy Of Painting with Bob Ross. It's on for half an hour on the telly each day and It's a must for me. Not that I want to learn how to paint, I just like the chilled nature of Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a master Sergent in the US Airforce. Story goes that when he left the Airforce he said he had enough of shouting and that's why he talks in that calm voice. He only lived until he was 53. Cancer got him. His life story is worth a look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Finished gangs of London the other day. Have to time my viewings for when the bairns are asleep. Violent as fuck but great viewing. Looking forward to the second series. There better be one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Caught a documentary on Amazon Prime about the mighty Leeds United called “Do you want to win?” https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6616364/ It was about their 91/92 league win but also got into some off the off field challenges they had such as racism and hooliganism. I thought it was really good with some great chat with the likes of Vinnie Jones, Strachan and McAllister. What a midfield they had back then with Strachan, McAllister, Batty & Speed!!!

RicoS321 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Watching Damages at the minute, been good. Not sure what planet I was on when it first came out that I hadn't seen it, but been worth a catch-up so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA-Don Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 ‘The Social Dilemma’ here in the US on netflix, not sure if you get it in the UK. Very interesting stuff, particularly with what is going on in (American) society at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal deeside cowie Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 You do get it in the UK. We've had Netflix here for many years, brother. As for the programme, it isn't shedding any new light on any first world ideology the common man isn't privvy to. In lehmans terms, everyone knows Google are monitoring our searches.

Slim Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Just finished S2 of The Mandalorian, fantastic TV if you have any kind of passing interest in Star Wars, shits all over all of the recent movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Quite keen on Mandalorian, wife has just got Disney+ so will try get into that in the near future. We finished His Dark Materials the other day. Annoying it just ends the way it does but I guess that's Covid related. Have started watching Industry too. Ooft, basically a UK pornographic version of suits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Sort of a film, but I watched "Lennox Lewis: The Untold Story" on Amazon Prime. Dr Dre narrates it. Very good. Lennox was/is an absolute class act inside and outside of the ring, and there were some good insights, particularly about his two defeats. That "draw" in the first Holyfield fight still grates for me - I remember it well, he absolutely battered him. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7140274/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Anyone watching The Serpent Believe it is on BBC1 (Sunday evening) ?
