That's almost exactly the same plot as some shitty low budget film I saw on channel 5, years ago.

I can't remember what it was called though.

I feel so old, I remember reading the comic when it was getting released in the two thousands. It looks from the trailer that they haven't changed much of the base story. I wonder if they can make this last 6 years like the comic?

I had another watch and Ampersand (the Capuchin) looks ropey as strawberry float.

Paramount+ launching next year in the UK, it's free with Sky Cinema -

Titles that will become available through 2022 in the UK, Ireland, Italy and GSA include a collection of scripted, exclusive Paramount+ Originals and exciting new takes on iconic franchises, including ‘HALO‘, ‘The Offer’ and the new ‘iCarly’ series.

As the international home of SHOWTIME, the service will offer ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth‘, ‘Ripley‘, ‘Super Pumped’, and ‘American Gigolo’, in addition to popular titles from ViacomCBS, such as ‘Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years’, ‘Star Trek: Prodigy‘, and ‘MTV Unplugged’. The service will also feature a collection of new movie premieres and fan favourites from Paramount Pictures such as films from the Mission Impossible and Transformer franchises.

You will note, some of the key shows missing from that list include ‘Star Trek: Discovery’, ‘Star Trek: Picard’ and ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’, along with ‘The Good Fight’ and ‘Why Woman Kill’, all of which (with the exception of ‘Strange New Worlds’, as far as we know…) have already been sold to other UK broadcasters such as Netflix, Amazon, and Alibi… Whether ViacomCBS will look at wrestling those rights back at some point in the future remains to be seen…

Finales this week (UK Days)

Monday - Season finales of The White Lotus & The North Water.

Why does The Walking Dead always advertise a return date but then the episode is out two weeks early? Or are we just getting it two weeks after the US now it's on Disney+?

It's out a week early to get people to sign up for AMC+ then it starts on normal AMC next Sunday then on Star via Disney+ the day after.

And Superman & Lois is done!

Thoroughly good season throughout and notably stronger than most current CW stuff (Legends is it's own incomparable thing).
Seen some complaints ‘where is Kara?’ Etc which makes sense given threats, but also very glad it’s stayed distinct with its own style and aesthetic away from rest of CWverse.

A couple of miss steps but generally consistently solid throughout - with some high moments (usually anything involving the 2 leads and nostalgia ) and few very very low. (Can Jordan be chucked next season though please )

Yeah Jordan is the worst thing about it but Clark and Lois' charisma elevate everyone around them. You can make the case he's the best Superman of all time. Reeves is probably still better but Hoechlin is number 2 minimum.

Not a chance on earth I will get Apple TV but this does look really good. I wonder if we will meet R. Daneel Olivaw?

I just noticed comments are turned off. I suppose some people just cant have Hardin played by a woman.

Remember Frogger? It's back... in game show form:

Who the hell wanted that?

Must be filming an episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia somewhere in Ireland because they urgently require a Danny Devito lookalike in 4 days time which is no time at all to locate a "large waisted, old, 4 foot 5 Irish man ideally with acting experience. All I can think of is the Irish President Michael D Higgins and somehow I don't think he'll be interested in the role.

Assuming it's not coincidence that Arxher series 11 is on UK Netflix as Series 12 starts in the US?
