Who's the w***er that recommended Shantaram? I'm 300 pages into this 900 page book and * all has happened except listening to this guy crap on about how much better India is than Australia and getting lectured to about the meaning of life by every chump he makes eye contact with.

Why am I angry? Because I have a problem where I have to finish books I've started, especially 300 pages in FFS.
I’ve been watching the Apple TV show. It’s also a bit shit.

To be fair, if someone had done their own research instead of just believing what others said, they might not be 300 pages into a book atm.

I did - I've had 3 people tell me it's the best book they've ever read, plus this:

It's not terrible, I'm a slow reader and then if the book doesn't grab me then I struggle to motivate myself to finish it - so this thing will probably take me six months to get through.

New Cormac McCarthy, Irvine Welsh and soon Bret Easton Ellis sitting on the back burner until I get through this! It's a hard knock life!
 
Watched Violent Night last night. Could be a new contender for the mans christmas movie.

Worth watching then?

Did anyone ever watch that Fatman one with Mel Gibson and Walton Goggins?

You won't be reading the sequel then?

Speaking of Apple Tv, where the hell is season 3 of Ted Lasso?
 
I've been watching Colin from Accounts and Upright. Both good 👍

Is Colin from Accounts another Jungle Boys production? The main character's shows are really good - The Moodys is excellent, even better that it's a Christmas show and the Aussie version of No Activity was pretty good too.

I'm not sure but I'd say you're on the right track. Same actors as No Activity. Turns out the main couple in CFA are married. My wife insists on googling the cast whilst watching shows and movies.

Yeah when I saw the trailer my first thought was “that looks alright, but he’s way too old to be her love interest”. Then I looked them up and they’re married.

Although the actress is half a decade older than the character she plays. And the age difference is a fairly large plot point.

Yeah 12 years apart I think. I don’t mind the old actor google mid-stream tbh.

I am watching Colin at the moment. It’s decent. The brewery gags are kinda fun in a cringe way

I'll have a cheeky gewgs if I think I know an actor from another movie but I can't place them, but I'm not deep diving for their birthday and postal address. Missus digs up all sorts of info mid-watch

I tend to IMDB actors to see where I know them from pretty regularly. I like how Amazon does the "x-ray" when you pause a scene and it gives you the actors and the song name on the soundtrack.
 
If I IMDB the actor I can't quite place (or just want confirmation) then I don't spend the rest of the episode/film distracted by it.

On the other hand I was watching Witness for the Prosecution with my mother and she wanted to know who played a certain character and I knew if I told her it'd spoil the ending. I couldn't even tell her that it'd spoil the ending without spoiling the ending.

IMDBing definitely has it's spoiler downsides in that it it also gives away other characters not yet introduced.

THE A5 take note re spoilers
