Banter RDT CLXXXVIII - Big Weather

[Dazzler9]

Good luck. Found last week and especially my first day back so challenging.

Mate, first day back blues get seem to get worse with age. I'm looking forward to retirement just so I don't have to deal with them anymore.

Did I say you said it was a new concept?

I was just pointing out it offers nothing new in terms of story.

Well, I beg to differ and I'm sorry to disappoint you, try 'Cut Throat Bill' for a possible thrill? Kind of similar though, they might have to rewrite history to create a new narrative, that wild-west frontier is a well worn trail...of littered bodies, hopes, dreams and narratives?

 

[Goroyals22]

Speaking of TV, has anyone else binged Squid Game [emoji638] yet?

Thought it was a good follow up effort.

Was a good follow up, a bit more humour still with plenty of dark moments… I defy anyone who can get the mingle game song out of their head…

I watched American Primeval in one sitting yesterday.

I love watching that particular time of history so I was a very easy watch for me.

Old Henry
The Ballad of Buster Scrugs
The Harder They Fall
Godless
The Power of the Dog
Butchers Crossing

That's recent one's and just off the top of my head - all with a unique story. Unsure how historically accurate you believe this one to be really, in the end it's just another work of fiction with a frontier backdrop. And if it's from the same people that made The Revenant (which I like) then they're just reusing their own narrative anyway.

Just pointing out that they seem to be trying to pretend they're providing new content by masking a tired story with ultra-violence. Don't need to take it personally. And I'm still watching the f*cken thing anyway.

Godless was an amazing show

Well, in the end they're all works of fiction with a frontier backdrop. The Mormon massacre and it's leader, the governor were historical truths right down to his name. The Mormon Militia existed as did the Latter Day Saints and its claim for land by any means possible - it is Utah/Salt Lake City after all.
"Much like in the series, the massacre was a result of a dispute between President James Buchanan and Utah Governor Brigham Young. Yes, that Brigham Young—one of the most influential religious leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ the Latter-Day Saints. Young reportedly declared martial law over the territory after Buchanan allowed settlers to pass through, leading to violence from the Utah Territorial Militia (AKA the Nauvoo Legion)..." - Esquire.
Scruggs was fun, so was Dog Power, all good...

Might as well just watch Deadwood again

Except it’s on paramount which I don’t have

Will give this Primeval show a crack

Three episodes in and I’m a fan

Early settlers were hard as ****

 

[omgfridge]

I enjoy Weterns/American frontier stories and have watched 7 out of the 8 episodes so far.

great effort considering it was a 6 episode series.

Right? It was ****ing hard work living during this period.

Really enjoy watching this era

Such an awesome show Deadwood. In some ways good they didn't extend the series.

Pretty certain 3.10 to Yuma is on Netflix which is a great western starring R Crowe & C Bale

There was supposed to be a 4th season but it didn’t happen due to the writers strike. By the time the strike finished it wasn’t possible to get all the cast back together to film it so all we ended up with eventually was a movie that did its best to wrap it it all up

A real shame we didn’t get that final season

Hey I never said counting was my strong point.

Anyone paid to get the battery in their iPhone replaced before? Where’d you go and how much you pay?

not seeking:

• Android vs iPhone debates
• Suggestions to buy a new or refurbed phone
• Tired unfunny jokes

 

[kane249]

If you take it to the Apple Store they will probably charge you a premium for it

Any local phone repairer in a shopping centre should be able to do it though. Just check out their reviews first though to see which one has the best reputation before choosing one.

Sounds like somebody has a case of the Mondays.

No, can't say I have.

Your strong points have never been mentioned, I dare say.

Well they're all relative and I don't like talking about my family.

Not sure how a car can even manage to travel down the wrong side of the road at this area as there is a concrete barrier between the lanes.

The rav4 driver either had no idea or was on something.

 

[ep2018]

Suicide is my guess. Sucks for the three in the taxi who died too.

Wonder if they didn't have their lights on as well so the taxi didn't see them

That time of the morning in that area you'd assumed the poor passengers in the taxi were just coming from the airport too

If true I hope they get r*ped in hell everyday for eternity.




Not to jump to any drastic conclusions of course.
