100% belongs in its own thread, easily the best of the Netflix Marvels, and indeed one of the finest seasons of telly I've seen for a while. I wrote most of a long post about it the other day (it had character motivation in it and everything) but then couldn't be arsed finishing it since all this chat just gets lost in a morass of random comments about whatever anyone's watched that evening and makes coherent conversations essentially impossible so I just deleted it. Pete dared to start a thread about 'The Death Of Stalin' and was immediately BANISHED to NO REPLYVILLE (except by me), THE RULES HAVE BEEN BROKEN SHUN THE INTRUDER. As such my thoughts about The Punisher remain my own and I'm just going to wank myself silly over multiple print outs of them and when the pages get all crispy like a teenager's copy of Escort I'll print off more copies in bigger colours and different fonts and crack one out again and AGAIN FAP FAP FAP FAP. SO THERE. Attachment: handerso.JPG

Nobody replied to the Death of Stalin thread because no fucker saw it. I wanted to and will do when it’s on [normall telly] but it’s just because of that, not because it had its own thread. |

We are 6.5 seasons through Dexter on Netflix and I've found out it's being removed on 21st Dec. Going to have to binge the rest it seems. |

The Punisher was fucking excellent. I bet Jon Bernthal's pleased as punch that he got out of the Walking Dead when he did... Man it would be great if he went back and shot them all to fuck. |

Yeah, Dexter... I stuck with it as a few seasons were really good, especially the Harry and the Hendersons one. But it slid down the pan towards the end. |

I think the 6th was the last decent one. 4th was the last decent one. 2nd was the only one that was truly good. 5th was the one with trainspotting's Sick Boy, and it was quite stupid. 6th was terrible and i left the boat. Didn't really care about what came after. |

Blurble wibble tonight I watched 'DougDeMuro' on YouTube, he's from the US and as a general sort of US based car review site with interesting insights I'd definitely recommend him. It's no Punisher though. Or Dexter. Both of which are also, generally speaking, US based TV. Stop watching Dexter after Season 4. GENERAL/1000. |

Too right. I just finished the first season and Bernthal is up there with D'Onofrio as a seething ball of rage that is barely held back. Maybe he can shoot Iron Fist many many many many times? |

If they hadn't mentioned the actual name of the film and kept it alluding to a documentary then fair enough. But naming it just took all the humour out for me. I understand why they did it though. |

Final episode of the season of Mr Robot was a little underwhelming, but I think only because the rest of the season set the bar so high. They have already confirmed they're doing a season 4. |

I especially enjoyed the post-credits scene because that guy was responsible for my favourite moment in s01 and probably a top 10 scene in any TV. |

We watched "Godless" on Netflix. It's a western thing, it's sort of ok but fuck me whoever made it must really love horses. So many tedious, lingering shots of them and scenes where people are fucking around with them or gazing longingly into their eyes. Anyway 6/10 probably rising to 9/10 if you want to fuck horses. |

Since the season has ended, now is a good time to recommend the movie Comet, by the creator of Mr Robot. You can see an early form of the style he eventually developed into Mr Robot, and I guess it's more of a romantic comedy, with a slight sci-fi backdrop. It's got lots of snappy dialogue, and it's a bit magical. I gather in his head he was going to make a loose trilogy of movies, but in the end what was going to be the second one developed into Mr Robot as a TV series. There's no shared characters or anything, and even though the themes are pretty different, his approach to dealing with those themes is fairly similar. |
