@Machpants better Amazon than Netflix I'd wager.
Personally I think Netflix has more better shows than Amazon, they just make across the board stuff so some really average stuff gets on there (and often does well as there's no accounting for taste).
Amazon has a few really good shows and then other than that is a shit show of an app where everything else is hard to find and they prioritise other streamers content to get you to pay more.
No argument there, I just feel they're less likely to have the next Bond a fat disabled transwoman.
Although we can all be thankful that Disney doesn't have it.

Did Disney do andor? Cos that'd be great bond.
But yes I agree there

It's a joke. Not a dissertation on script writing.

@Bones I haven't seen it yet, but a lovely lady tonight told me it was great.
I have also heard, however, from other sources, that it was destroying the fabric of society, somehow. Wrecking people's childhoods. That sort of carry-on.I don't need my childhood wrecked even more thanks

The distance between his haribos and the van door?

Bridget Jones - Mad About The Boy
Enjoyed the first Bridget Jones films as a bit of a satire on a certain section of society and with some great comic moments, but this was a bit meh. That said, Chiwetel Ejiofor as the manic science teacher was bloody brilliant,
Three pairs of huge pants out of five Tinder swipes.

The gorge
Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy
The premise sounds shite, but you know what, it was decent.
Sci-fi, action romance....pfft
3 this should be average AF out of 5 that was decent
Was a bit of a nod for both main actors early work with chess and drumming.

Flight Risk
Don't. Just don't. Catastrophically bad.
Script is terrible. Overacting. Utterly stupid plot.

I wrote the above before the movie ended. It got worse. Unfathomably fucking stupid. Strong contender for the dumbest thing I'll see this year.

Sounds ok from the premise but then you realise lots of Netflix Turkeys have good write ups.
After seeing Marky Mark in The Other Guys ( which is absolutely outstanding comedy ) I can’t take him seriously in anything else these days

Trading Places just turned up on Neon.
Still outstanding after so many years. SO 80's but magnifcent comedic performances from all involved. Loads of fun and bizarre small parts which are great fun too.
A toss up between this and Beverly Hills Cop as Eddies best movie I reckon.

Companion starring Rupert Friend, Jack Quaid & Sophie Thatcher
Thatcher is an companion bot (aka sex-bot) but she doesnt know she is one when visiting thier friends lake house and shit goes down.
Premise was ok, started well, but dragged on a bit
3 altered bot codes out of 5 is this our future?

Is that Furiosa Mad Max movie any good ?
It’s on Neon, I might wait for the ferns opinion before committing.
The Road Warrior vies with Empire Strikes back and Aliens in terms of awesome sequels even better than the originals but then the series got a bit silly. Wasn’t really a fan of the Tom Hardy one to be honest.

I thought it was better than the last one (but I might be on an island of one, maybe two if you watch and like it).
