so young and so addicted and yet the media are just making a real fool of him back then... and he cannot see the woods for the trees....

how is he now.....

still going strong though...one of the lucky ones in so many ways...

just recently......maybe not so lucky though a lot of the time...and then he seems to turn another corner and comes over as such a nice guy....

Yes that one was quite the gem. I should give it another go.

Meant for and made by heterosexual men stuck in the past (based or inspired by Heavy metal from the 80s). 2/5

You say that like it's a bad thing

It was a good distraction for me while I suffered in silence. The CGI throughout was what intrigued me the most though. I've always aspired to get to that level of animating, but I'm still just a low level wannabe with just enough Maya knowledge to impress my friends. Sometimes even thats a bit of a stretch.

Examples please. Also, I hate you - guitar god and now animation, er, god. Boo.

Just finished The Flight Attendant. Very very good. Keeps you guessing right up to the end, deals out the twists at just the right moment, many WTF moments. Smart, funny, at times tragic, superbly written and with a good cast. Recommended. Only eight episodes. Went through it in three days.

Yeah I think you might be the right target audience. If you were a fan of the original Heavy Metal magazine, then this is right up your alley.

Not my cup of tea though.

I don’t get too excited about TV in general,
but due to the loosening of pandemic regulations,
a bunch of series are starting to film again at the
same time with quite a few of the ones that I’ve
really liked returning this fall - also at nearly the
same time. Excited to see that Season 8 of Endeavour,
S4 of Unforgotten, S6 of Grantchester, S10 of Call the Midwife,
S11 of Vera and S6 & 7 of Shetland will be airing in a few months.
Have to wait until 2022 for the last season of Doc Martin tho.
Will feel a bit weird spending so much concentrated time in front of a TV.

I was, and Epic too. Part of my childhood.

I can't post up the stuff I do for work which is the bulk of it all, but here's some side jobs I've done:

Love The Flight Attendant, great performance by Cuoco and the show just had a really cool vibe. I loved the soundtrack as well, it really did an awesome job at conveying the spastic chaos that Cuoco's character was constantly facing

Finished the available seasons of Line of Duty on Netflix (5 seasons), excellent police thriller. I don't know how much longer they can keep going, after a while it may get repetitive.

Moving on the Peaky Blinders. I don't know why I've shied away from it for so long, I'm 2 episodes in and it is very good. Love the music, obviously. Great acting, great production.
