Dr Gloom 19728 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Bit late to the party but just started peaky blinders. Stylish start, could be in for the long haul. The only thing putting me off is the accents. Not a single character can pull off a convincing brummie twang - most of them speak some weird scouse hybrid.

Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 It's a load of shit. And it was a load of shit before a load of wet arsed dick munchers started wearing flat-caps to weddings and putting on Peaky Blinders club nights. Thanks for reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 3651 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 There is one in Manchester too, all the trolls come down from the hills have eyes towns in their tweed and drink £9 cocktails, just like the real 1930’s or whenever it’s set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerosum 234 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 First couple of seasons were good, lost it's way a bit since, but will give the new season a go after I finish startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A re-evaluation of acid house, a musical phenomenon that, as this film shows, did not spring out of nowhere, but owed its emergence to the social and political landscape of 1980s Britain Oh fucking hell!! What was that tune on the intro first minute or two on this.. was it techno trance or something.. got goosebumps there haha, will give it a watch. Edit, just sat and watched it, really good thanks.

Gemmill 34166 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I don't think I even made it through the first season of Peaky Blinders. Couldn't take it seriously cos of the shite accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3960 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I've seen bits of it here and there without seeing a full Ep and it looked pretty good to me. Don't they try and excuse the accents by selling the family as Irish immigrants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Finally got round to watching This Time and you can really tell Coogan has been doing this character for 20 years now. Probably his best performance since the original series since it calls for a lot more subtlety in the on-screen segments. He has an amazing chemistry with Tim Key and they did a perfect job of transporting it over from Mid-Morning Matters. Would give the wife a good rimming as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Also, when I'm here, I watched the second series of Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing and found it equal parts hilarious, touching and genuinely moving. A beautiful depiction of genuine friendship, stripped of all pretence, filled with warmth and affection throughout. Bob Mortimer pretty much done me in at two separate points; the gifts given to Paul with the express instruction to not touch either until he dies, with the implicit intonation that he is very much aware of his mortality cutting through like a knife and that, coupled with his description of the "eureka" moment of depression hit me harder than I honestly expected it to. As someone struggling with persistent thoughts of meaninglessness, depression and existential anxiety, seeing these raw, candid slices of emotion from him and how he places so much emphasis on the small things made me feel a lot better. Life is not what we do, it's the meaning we attach to things throughout our shared experiences with people we love and we all have something, even when we think have nothing. There's no punchline to this, I just have to get this out. Edited September 10, 2019 by Ayatollah Hermione 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I watched the new Tarantino as well and, for balance, I reckon Margot Robbie would be well into anal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Bob Mortimer comforted me by defying expectations. You've comforted me by living up to all of the bawdy standards I've come to expect from you. Bellend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's comfortably the worst accent in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
