surprised no links for this have appeared yet. was rather entertaining, a little unrealistic and got kind of stupid in the end but overall worth a one time watch unless you don’t like spiders :)

Marking something with spoiler tags has nothing to do with being gay or heterosexual. You gave away an essential plot point, by your own admission. I just disagree with it, especially due to the entirety of of the second series. You are incorrect and your personal sexual orientation has zero to do with it. You are seeing something that does not exist, but you are ruining someone else’s viewing by your own admission.

got to agree not quite sure where he’s getting Homosexual from or the mommy issues, maybe he was watching something else? lol it had nothing to do with his sexuality and if anything he had issues with his father. it was more about his inadequacies in dealing with rejection (family/acting) and the abuse he suffered when he was younger.
Baby Reindeer (2024)
3 Body Problem (2024)
A pretty good watch. It starts off a bit slow, but by episode 4 it starts picking up the pace. If you’ve read the books, it’s a bit of a letdown, though. While it touches on some of the thought-provoking ideas presented in the novels, it does little to flesh them out.
I’ll be the first to admit that the books can be a tough read. Packed with science, paragraphs and even pages can go on about the details of these ideas. The author is actually a power plant engineer and not a trained writer, so while he is strong on the science, his character development leaves much to be desired.
One change I did like is that, unlike the books, the story is presented linearly, making it much easier to follow. Liu Cixin said in an interview that he feared opening the story, like we see here in this adaptation, might have provoked the censors too much.
So while this isn’t the show I hoped it would be, I understand that literary works like these are extremely difficult to adapt to the screen. You want a product that is appealing to as large an audience as possible, while also keeping in mind that you might only have just the one season to tell the story as best as you can. If you don’t mind the science, I highly recommend reading the books.
Let us hope we aren’t children lost in a dark forest, crying out for companionship, but only drawing the attention of wolves.
Now on to the Tencent production. I’m very curious to see how that adaptation compares.

never read the books but sounds like the story is told in the way that the Chinese version presents it. if you think this version is slow just wait until you watch the Chinese version lol personally i found it kind of dry and a bit of a slog to finish.

good show but not liking Cosmos impression of Tom Hardy, it’s kind of annoying.

This one is pretty good https://www.primewire.tf/tv/1456795-three-body or you can wait for the Netflix version that drops in 2 weeks https://www.primewire.tf/tv/1376385-3-body-problem
Lots of mind-bending, physics-defy stuff going on in it, plus metaversal gaming and 1st contact. I’m working on finishing up the links for the Chinese version.

The Chinese version is a hard watch, think many people may start it but struggle to finish it.

life, love, relationships, regrets and hopes. personally i quite enjoyed the movie, think it’s a bit of a marmite movie though and going by some of the comments i’ve seen some people may find it rather boring. i went into the movie knowing nothing about it and expected nothing from it.

another great season, like the format of releasing a new ep every day. shame there aren’t more and we have to wait another year.
Leave the World Behind (2023)
a slow burn, interesting take on something that could quite easily happen in our near future. just the other day the WEF were warning about something like this happening in 2024… lol crazy though to think how everything works/is connected and with a single break in those lines it could bring a country to it’s knees.

best thing about this series was seeing Homelander and Butcher, roll on the next season of the The Boys.
Erotic Stories (2023)
not quite what i was expecting, but was rather entertaining. some amusing moments, the last ep was the worst of the bunch. worth a watch IMHO. 3.5/5

Even with all of today’s technology, and CGI they still couldn’t top the original, not even close, but hey it was a nice after school special, lol.

times are very different from when the original was released. i watched it with my gran in the 80’s when i was 13 years old, the guy in the local shop rented videos and recommend it. watching the scene that involved a cross with my gran has always stuck with me, was pretty messed up lol

a must see movie IMHO, can’t think of anything negative to say about it.
The Changeling (2023)
slow slow slow. i like the premise, but disappointed in three episodes of backstory. I’ll stick with it.

looks like things are starting to click by the end of ep 3. shame it’s turned into a weekly thing though, would have preferred to binge the lot i think.

average movie, the true story is even more messed up. some might see it as worth a one time watch if you have nothing better to fill your time. 2.5/5

binged this today after watching painkiller. shows how crooked things are, crazy to think that not one person was locked up for the damage done through blatant lies.

not as bad as i was expecting from some the reviews i’d seen, was mildly entertaining.
Ragnarok (2020)
well season 3 wasn’t quite as epic as i thought it would be after the first ep, but nevertheless it was quite enjoyable. a good end to the series as a whole.

Did you see the 1st one? I’ve not & wondering if I need to see it in order to enjoy this one. Thanks in advance.

think it’s probably better to, trying to explain things to my wife was annoying and she’d seen the first one but didn’t remember much about it lol

Stumbled on this, found it rather entertaining though it did fall slightly and got a bit silly near the end. 3.5/5
was ok, more back story would have made the movie better IMHO.
