**** me, what a tragedy and so many people culpable in not following through on accusations. There is one clip on a show I don't remember, clunk/click I think it was called where Savile and Gary Glitter were talking, I know with hindsight you never make a mistake, but Jesus wept.

Only downside is that **** never got his commupance while alive!
The thing is I reckon a lot of people knew exactly what he was up to but it was ignored because of who he was, and his victims were seen as being unimportant. Attitudes towards nonces have changed so much in the last few decades.

I saw him do a show in Solana Beach about 14 years ago. Not a massive venue. A dozen of us went up from the pub, so all British, Irish & a couple of Aussies.

We definitely laughed the loudest. At one point, early on, a drunk southern California girl tried heckling him. And not good heckling either. Just being an annoying self centred airhead.

He put her down & finished the sentence with C*nt, which is a very different word over here. The room went silent except for a dozen or so of us cracking up.

Great show.

We went over to Dublin a few years ago to see him, trouble is I had such a good day on the Guinness I didn't really remember too much :D

I have watched it since though, brilliant show.

I like his American Gun control stuff.

Jeremy Clarksons Farm thing on Amazon, just brilliant viewing, has me in stitches at times. Like or Loathe him, he is very entertaining.

Attitudes have thankfully changed. I still can't get my head round that he got away with it, so many people knew, accusations made etc, and all pretty much swept under the very grubby carpet. Shocking part of our history.

Just cancelled my Netflix account as part of my cost cutting exercise. There's just not enough content on it to justify subscribing all year. I could probably just subscribe for a couple of months each year and watch everything I want to.

I've just taken up a Shudder subscription. So far I've watched Skinamarink (Ball, 2022), a few episodes of The 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time, a few episodes of Behind the Monsters, and Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror (Janisse, 2021), a three-hour documentary on folk horror movies from around the world. I'll be digging into the last couple of V/H/S anthology movies over the next couple of days, and I'll probably tuck into The Sadness (Jabbaz, 2021) at the weekend (red band trailer below, only viewable via YouTube).

Just cancelled my Shudder subscription as I'd finally worked my way through my watchlist. The Sadness is VERY extreme in terms of gore and violence. Not really much else to the film apart from that... I liked it though.

Jack Ryan - Unfortunately I started on Series 3 and didn't realise until 4 episodes in! muppet, was very good though.

Going to go back to the first series, worth doing or has it been ruined by watching the 3rd series first?

Yeah, I'm going to watch V/H/S/94 and V/H/S/99 with my boy on Friday, I'm going to watch a couple of (admittedly humongous) documentaries, I might give a look to an old classic or two that I don't already own on DVD/blu-ray like Blood on Satan's Claw, and then I'll probably knock it on the head too. I'm enjoying it immensely but there's not enough content there to keep me paying month after month. I'll do my free week and then maybe one month, and that'll likely be that until something else I really want to see shows up on there.

I saw The Sadness the night before last. Absolutely brilliant. I'm not a fan whatsoever of gore for gore's sake but this wasn't that. I mean it was quite stunningly gory but that gore was justified within the framework of a genuinely interesting and taut plot, and the whole thing was made with real craft. Wasn't just a shoddy micro-budget latex-and-offal fest.

I would recommend going with the first series as it gives you more back story and is also a very good watch :newthumb:

First series is the best of the three. In my opinion.

Watched V/H/S/94 (various, 2021) and V/H/S/99 (various, 2022), the most recent couple of movies in the V/H/S horror anthology franchise, on Shudder last night. Anthology films are generally a mixed bag with a couple of cracking stories and a couple of duds - this is true of the previous V/H/S movies too - but in the case of the two I saw last night, V/H/S/94 was dud-free and might just be the best film in the franchise whereas V/H/S/99, alas, was a stew of decent ideas executed fairly poorly and represented one of the lesser entries in the franchise thus far (although for my money 2014's V/H/S/Viral remains the absolute runt of the litter). Ah well. That's both the upside and the downside of anthology films I guess. Can't all be zingers, but there's always the possibility of unearthing a diamond in the rough. Hail Raatma!

The Last Face (Netflix). One of them 'good intentions' films that ended up morally unbalanced. Vindicated by reading reviews afterward. A love story which takes precedence over the horror backdrop of the Liberian civil war. Shocking at times, but Sean Penn definitely got his priorities wrong with this one. Jean Reno is also puzzlingly under-used, but then he wasn't the 'romantic lead'.

Started the flight MH370 doc on Netflix.

Couldn't help but wonder what IronWorx thinks of it?
