Remember that scene from the Half-Blood Prince when Harry forces Dumbledore to drink that cursed liquid to get to the locket? And after every glassful Dumbledore screams "Please stop!" and "Kill me!" to which Harry keeps replying "Just one more, just one more!"?
Yeah. That's how it feels just watching each new Chibnall episode knowing Davies is on the horizon.
What a travesty.
We're in the Endgame Multiverse now.
Sarah may have won the series. But Mike won our hearts.
Personally felt this episode was a bit hollow, the premise could have been executed a lot better, instead, more time was spent with the lesser interesting plot points such as Ryan's storyline or Yaz's. As the strongest of the three companions, I'm glad to see Graham getting a bigger role in this episode, he's kinda been in the background in comparison to the other two companions.
The best performance in this episode is without a doubt Ian Gelder, however, I would've liked to have seen more of him and have his story expanded upon more, I mean with him being an immortal God, possibly being alive longer than the Doctor herself, the potential to explore fascinating storylines is there, maybe he'll return, who knows.
Overall, it wasn't a bad episode, there are certainly bits here and there to enjoy, and it's without a doubt a lot better than the woke-Greta-climate change episodes, but it lacks something I can't put my finger on.
Fuck this show. Justice for Ali, my boy done dirty by that snake ass Sang Woo.
Amazon, you'd better renew this shit right the fuck now for a third season, you can't fucking leave it there.
Well, well, well. According to Trakt, there are 79 original episodes of Star Trek, not 72 or 73. Suck my balls.
I've seen porn that's funnier than this.
Utterly beautiful tribute to Eddie Kidd. Fantastic.
Mark throwing hands with Johno and biting parts of his ear off is honestly sooo satisfying to watch.
To some people, this film comes across as glorifying racism, when it is in fact showcasing the complete opposite. Through the eyes of Shaun, an easily-swayed teen, This is England depicts the lead character going through what you can say is a coming-of-age experience where he makes severe choices to appease and fit in with new crowds, some choices he later comes to regret. Hence, making the "glorifying racism" aspect completely contrary.
As someone who was brought up in a multicultural town in Northern England, this film hits deep, as I've experienced and witnessed first-hand the near social-disjointedness between ethnic groups in modern society. Scary to think that in nearly forty years from which This is England is set, real-life England is still suffocating from archaic morals.
Shane Meadows has not made a film with This is England. He's made a statement, a statement which says that this shit happened, this shit still happens and this shit will continue to happen if nothing is done to stop it.
Heart-wrenching to watch, but watch you must.
Easily the best episode of Jodie's time as the Doctor, looking forward to seeing where these plot threads lead
Really wish there was a "Fabulous" Trakt rating.
Wrap it up 2021, we're only two months in and we may have found the best show of the year already.
Russell T. Davies has time and time again, churned out some incredible television experiences, from the funny and gutsy Queer as Folk at the turn of the century, to last years political-fuck-you in Years and Years to literally regenerating Doctor Who for a modern era.
But It's a Sin may very well go down as Russell's masterpiece.
Bringing into the light, in all it's cruel and heartbreaking detail, the AIDs crisis of the mid-to-late 1980s, It's a Sin chronicles the lives of a group of young gay adult students in London, whose world is slowly engulfed by the new aforementioned disease.
The progression of realisation in how deadly AIDs is is brilliantly shown over the five-episode structure, with episode one leaving our main characters somewhat doubting the severity of AIDs, episodes two, three and four ramping up the clarity the characters have with AIDs, whilst episode five brutally sweeps aside any and all doubt.
The second peak in this show is how it portrays homophobia. Being set in Britain in the late '80s, homophobia was still high. Episodes three and four showcases this homophobia perfectly, from Andria Doherty's "letterbox" scene in the third episode to the peaceful protest fallen on deaf-ears in episode four.
Olly Alexander and Omari Douglas are sure to break out into even bigger projects down the line for their superb performances as Ritchie and Roscoe respectfully, whilst Lydia West takes home the prize of being the standout in this series for her role as Jill Baxter. Her performance in Davies' previous series, Years and Years, put her on the map for sure. It's a Sin just proves that she is without-a-doubt going places, her conversation with Keeley Hawes' character, Valerie, on the promenade in the final episode is enough evidence to support this.
Incredible television, that will challenge near-on every emotion possible, don't sleep on this gem.
La!
"In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."
I am one of those very angry people.
An episode with Furries, shitty inconsistencies with already established Doctor Who history, bad acting and a preachy, pushy speech about climate change just to top it off.
That's a hard no from me, mate (sorry I meant "fam", because that's how Doctor Who thinks we talk now).
And to think I liked the way Episode 2 ended.
The highest of highs that Futurama ever reached. Glorious episode.
Should be renamed Fever Pitch: The Rise of Manchester United.
Seriously, this documentary, as well as it's made, would have been a lot better had it stuck to telling the story of the Premier League's foundation as a WHOLE instead of through the point of view of Manchester United. Everything within this documentary was told in relation to United, take Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal and Newcastle United, they weren't treated in this documentary as clubs that were trying to win the title for themselves, they were portrayed as the clubs that wanted to beat Manchester United to the title.
It was such a United circlejerk that even Arsenal's crowning moment in 1998 only got what felt like two minutes of airtime, whilst Manchester United's CHAMPIONS LEAGUE win in '99... yep, not Premier League, CHAMPIONS League, got about fifteen minutes airtime.
Shame really. This could have been great.
Milo Thatch and Daniel Jackson, both look exactly like each other and both discover Atlantis.
Coincidence?
I THINK NOT!
It's actually ridiculous how criminally underrated this film is. I was fucking fighting back the tears about five times.
I'm pretty sure Sir David Attenborough could talk about sofas or wheelie bins and I'd still be 100% invested.
The stampede scene in this movie is greater than the one in The Lion King and you can't convince me otherwise.
An interesting twist on the vampiric horror genre, I just wish it was better executed.
I'm not as mad this time round as opposed to after I watched it the first time, maybe that's down to knowing how the story in this film plays out, therefore making it a softer pill to swallow. However, my overall rating of Episode XI hasn't changed dramatically on a second viewing, this still feels ABSOLUTELY HOLLOW! A husk of a Star Wars movie, that ultimately leaves you wanting Disney to sweep this entire trilogy under the rug and begin again, only this time get Lucas back as Head Writer and for the love of God, plan the fucking ending of the trilogy first, that way all three films work story wise as opposed to spit-balling plots and characters archs just like this sorry ass trilogy did.
Damn, that Jim'll Fix It encore song aged like milk.
The transition in the van from the traditional Islamic music to the Four Lions singing Dancing in the Moonlight had me fucking crying with laughter. Fantastic film, one of the best British comedies I've seen in a long time. Bravo Chris Morris.
So the world descends into chaos and rioting with politicians fighting each other verbally all because Mumble and the penguins do a funny little dance.
OK, what a big hot pile of penguin shit.
As entertaining as this was, I do feel like I want more. The story feels incredibly condensed, glossing over major areas of Catherine's reign. Personally, I would have liked to have the series span over multiple seasons, similar to how The Tudors ran, that way more time can be spent building and executing the story of Catherine (I also would've liked to have seen the coup d'état that put Catherine on the throne in the first place).
This is basically like if you've never read Harry Potter before and you decide to start from Goblet of Fire onwards, skimming through the chapters that you're reading.
The actors were fantastic though, especially Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke, which isn't that surprising.
Finally, a decent episode from this series.
