Just found one last night called "Brojects". A couple of Canadian brothers building ****** projects at their lakeside cabin once a month. Actually not too bad.

oh yeah 30th of Jul. hell, thanks for the heads up Tiny Rick.
I keep harping on about the expanse, its only got one season but worth a watch, i enjoyed. its based on books, i am halfway through the 4th.
plot twist, it is written by the game of thrones author's assistant(s) or something so expect something a bit epic.

Just finished watching season 2 of the The Expanse, also watching Killjoy's and Dark Matter although i DL them now.

My phone just told me American Sniper now available. Cool.

Everyday Miracles, hosted by an actual materials scientist, is another tribute to the awesomeness of human ingenuity.

New Star Trek series coming soon. geek geek hooray!

So I'm not a big fan of zombie movies other than for a laugh. I think that is the point of most zombie movies but rarely can get into it. World War Z was the best I'd rate.
But, I cant pass up an Aussie Zombie movie yeah?. an itwas farkin pretty good too!

Watch Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead.

Just watched couple of documentaries and a movie.

Movie was The Ridiculous Six. Adam Sandler's in it, along with Rob Schneider, Nick Nolte, Hervey Keitel etc. I've never really taken Sandler or Schneider before, but this movie was pretty good.

If you read the online reviews, it cops an absolute caning. 1 star and worst movie ever made kind of stuff, but I watched it before reading any of them and I've seen far worse movies.

It's a comedy western and it's pretty ******* mental at times, with some good laughs along the way.
Some stuff was genuinely hilarious. Like when Hervey Keitel gets accidentally beheaded by Schneider with a shovel and he keeps shooting uncontrollably, he even shoots his own head a couple of times.
Or the black 'brother', letting his other 'brothers' in on a secret that he's never told anyone before. The secret is that he's black. In the context of the storyline, that's funny ****.
Plenty more laughs, particularly in the first half of the movie, less laughs in the second half, but still not bad though. I'd give it 3.5 / 5.

Surprisingly, in the sensitive 21st century that it seems no one got offended by Sandler playing a half caste American Indian and Schneider a half caste Mexican. Must only be Whites playing Blacks that's taboo.


First doco was Keith Richards, Under the Influence. Pretty good insight into his influences, particularly the legendary Black American Blues musicians. Surprisingly, he's still pretty sharp and still smokes like a train. Good viewing, but his solo lyric writing isn't up to the same standard as his guitar work IMO.

Second doco was about the Waler horses and their role in the Light Horse Brigade during the First World War. It goes into the bond and trust between man and horse when dealing with the extreme conditions endured during desert warfare and when charging into battle. Also, the heartbreak of leaving their horses behind to be killed or sold, or having to shoot their own horses themselves. There are some incredible stories and it's impossible to comprehend how difficult it would have been.
Stuff that I've seen before, but it still gets me every time.

Nah, there were quite a few of the American Indian actors apparently got pissed about it. They were pissed and got offended about when they say “how” as in “hi”. Pretty sure I read that somewhere.

It wasn’t a bad movie. If you watch it for what it is and that’s a piss take “think Blazing Saddles type thing” then it isn’t a bad movie. If you watch it to think it’s a you beaut western with some funny parts you’ll think it’s rotten tomato winning movie it was. I personally enjoyed it and love watching most Sandler movies.

I am Ali, can't remember if I saw it on Netflix or I had downloaded it, besides being the best boxer of all time showed that he was also a great human being.

Bojack Horseman. Really hits it's straps in the second season but seriously funny stuff.

 

[breakbeer]

Doco called Hired Guns about session musicians in L.A.
You might be surprised to find out that your favourite riff or drum fill may not have been played by the actual band member.
A bit depressing in parts but very interesting

Currently powering through Dark and Manhunt:Unabomber. Both quite good. Dark has subtitles, turn the dubbing off and the subtitles on, not quite sure why it automatically goes to the dodgy dubbing.
