There's a couple of British series on Netflix that are worth watching if that sort of thing appeals.
Residue and Black Mirror. Bit dark, not too deep but worth watching.

I watched Bloodline not so long ago - another Netflix show. Great show.
Also re-watched Animal Kingdom a few nights ago...good farked up Aussie flick. Guy Pearce, Edgerton, Jackie Weaver etc
Ben Mendelsohn seems to play the unstable guys down to a tee.

F is for Family is ...okay.
Perhaps the hype overblew it for me.

I watched the first episode based on a suggestion from someone here...was a bit meh. A lot meh actually. Anyway, since its a short season I'll see it through.

I love Kyrgios' attitude. **** the crowd, and **** the haters. Have you seen the type of people that attend Australian Open matches? At least he's embracing his inner campaigner unlike that suckface Federer.

The quicker you can learn to block them out, the quicker you won't let things like noise affect you.

Why is Federer a campaigner? Some of his emotions after winning seem a bit contrived, but his tennis is sublime and shows zero bratishness.

It's not when he wins. It's when he loses that you'll see it. Especially if there have been some calls that have gone against him.

Anyone get into Sense8? Just finished the first ep. Usually I can't get into shows where there's a hundred protagonists but w/e. I hope it gets good.

I tried the first episode or two but quickly fell out of it.
I think it was something to do with the non stop "see these women are lesbian, this man is gay, this person is transsexual, why aren't you cheering us on for having these characters."

Sexual preference/identity is not something to build an entire character around.

Why is Federer a campaigner? .....

Accepting cows as tournament prizes f*&(s up all the hard work others have done to lift prizes in men's tennis to the historic high levels of women's tennis. Campaigner!

I'm doing an online series of courses for work using Moodle-based software. It keeps promising me badgers as I finish courses but there are no badgers and it's been days. I want my badgers!

Lots of screaming badgers around Midsomer. Wouldn't mind a pet honey badger; could be handy.

Doubling up on odd not-quite-dogs animals on the Port Board. We already have an Ant Bear in our midst.

Watched the whole series a while ago and it keeps promising to be cool, but then slows down. Again, so many characters, cool premise for the abilities/interactions, but then makes the over arching villian character/group take far too long to get involved.

Will start second season if it comes out but won't be determined to see it through if it stays too similar to season 1

Oh and if looking for something that requires no brain engagement what so ever, give Scream Queens a run. So silly and plastic and over the top on spoilt rich college stereotypes, with slasher movie element.

Silly but enjoyable

Saw The Hateful Eight tonight, liked it. It's a tense journey for anyone yet to see it.

Me too. Still processing ...

???? Don't watch alot of tennis but seems pritty humble to me.

Comparisons to Nick in any form is laughable.

Who was comparing him to Nick? I said 'at least Nick is embracing his inner campaigner unlike that suckface Federer.' Meaning that I think Federer is a campaigner but he hides it well enough to fool the vast majority of people. It's easy to appear 'humble' when you're winning a lot because there is no loss of pride in doing so.

Kygrios is just a campaigner and makes no apologies for it. Good on him - whatever it takes to fire you up.

No, this is out Broken Hill way, I thought the aliens from Independence Day were attacking. I miss the days in between finishing school and working more often, when a mate could ring up at any given time and say "check out the storm rolling in, wanna go chase it?" and you would.

 

[charcolechaddy]

So your saying their is a Nick hiding inside Federer but he just doesn't let it show?

Maybe if he could harbour his campaigners side he maybe able to play better for longer.

My opinion is he is mentally week at this point, he has alot of time to fix it tough and some great weapons to succeed .

I guess only time will tell.

I understand where Janus is coming from. Nick isn't hiding who he is, whereas Federer wears a mask that rarely has to slip because things rarely go against him.

So because he is so good we should assume he would be a campaigner if he was crap??????

Blah...

All the hullaballoo Nick creates makes him super likeable in my book.. granted I hardly ever watch tennis but the fact he rustles dead shit boring twats like David Wildy is fantastic.

I whole heartedly agree, this is the reason I love him.

Federer does have 17 grand slams and a few stints in the Swiss military to his name. I don't see Nick signing up to the army.
