recently we watched the whole serie of the haunting of Bly  Manor. I was a big fan of this particular serie since i watched the Haunting of hill house which was pretty much the best ive seen after the wailing. The Bly Manor is indeed a bad one that navigates the viewer into a fairytale with weird dolls and a tragic story that took place hundreds years ago. I can definetely say that there are no jumpscares in whole 9 episodes. Im really looking forward seeing something new in the horror industry. 

For the fans of this genre i can give some good movies. Personally i hate the CGI while watching horror movie. It takes all the fun away.

Bly wasn't great; i get they didn't just want to make a Hill House 2 but Bly was so pedestrian in places to the point it was pretty dull. 

The Blumhouse productions are OK, thought not jumpy horrors: Get Out was good i thought. 

I much prefer the psychological films these days - they shock far more than ghosts

I watched the first three episodes of Bly Manor then stopped altogether...BORING! In fact, none of the newer horror series are even scary anymore. I've got a few other shows to start viewing but haven't made it yet. Prefer watching new movies instead.

Has anyone seen the old movie 'The curious case of Benjamin Button'? It's one of the best movies I've seen so far.

Well yeah, to be honest i was irritated that they wanted to show diversity and the political correctness in a supposed Horror movie that took place in the 60-70s i suppose. Come onnn.... Well for psychological movies or really really heavy ones, always go with japanese movies. Trust me, these guys are years ahead of us.

Maybe it's because I like Brad Pitt more than you like him? 

[pinnit2015]

I've been rewatching the old Hitchcock classics to be honest: more suspense than horror obviously, tho The Birds still gives me shivers.

Sign of the times in this 'Woke' society we live in: so many justice warriors it's hard to keep track of.

Might watch again Birds, (like the old classics as well). I remember watching Fantasy Island with Tattoo etc. So classic.

Watch the wailing.

Not sure if any of you gave Netflix Black Mirror series... Amazingly interesting concept, especially for someone like me who's been involved into the IT industry back in the days.

just watched the trailers. Seems quite big for me to start now, since its from 2011 till now.  

And i have a strong feeling i will lose the plot pretty easy.

There's not that many eps a season, maybe only 5-6 i think: normally one great, one good, one average and a few poor 

Last few haven't been that great tbh; steam seems to have ran out of Brookers train (that 'Death to 2020' was penned by him and was  rubbish)

I like the whole concept but I'm really selective in these things. Especially the sci-fi. When I was younger I could spend a 2 hour session watching a movie that really goes nowhere. Well all series that got a good startup it's up to the company and the writer to end it and leave something good. For example friends, parks and recreations,  everybody loves raymond (personal choice) and list goes on ( it ain't big though)

On the other side you got series that go on for absolutely no reason at all. American horror story (hate it), grey's anatomy ( honestly why?), Walking dead, supernatural, blue bloods snd the list goes on and on.

Twin peaks is one serie I really liked that also ended soon. One more that I would definitely watch again is Fargo. It's pretty much amazing.

You've just highlighted all my pet hates - Supernatural being the worst IMO; how many times have they died? The same story just gets rehashed - same for the WD: same story, different ish plots. If you can't tell a full arc in 3 seasons (5 max - even Breaking Bad staggered in the last few seasons) then don't bother. 

Mortified to find that supernatural has gone, what 15 seasons? I stopped after 7 i think.

NCIS was another pet hate - it's gone 21 seasons for the same tagline: we've got a dead marine, load up. Really? Another dead marine? 

Wandavision is ok - nice, crisp 21 minute episodes

Then you get good shows stopped after 2 seasons, yet you look at American Horror Story, which has about 3 good episodes on season 8 or whatnot - nuts. 

Film wise the worst over the years has been the Irishman -running at what feels like 4 hrs, it's totally irrelevant. Good luck if you managed not to slip into a coma during that

Yeah I know mate, it makes no sense. But for some reason there must be a lot of hardcore fan groups that keep watching these things. It reminds me of one particular serie called the bold and the beautiful. This one started in 1987. It keeps rolling till this day. Let me tell you something about it. My grandpa used to watch this. We are talking about 34 years of seasons. 

I'm a big fan of pacino , loved all of his classics from godfather to the heat. But I decided not to watch the irishman. 4 hour movie is a torture. In those 4 hours I can do tons of things!

I used to be a big fan of the old gangster films; from the GF, through the Once Upon  A Time in America, even Gang of NY but now i struggle to even watch them the odd time - think your tastes change over the years; the use of the word EPIC etc now strikes fear into me as it means, to be anyway, long winded/bloated/self indulgent etc

Now prefer shorter, punchier films that provide a bit of escapism, nothing that i have to seriously concentrate on for 2.5-3hrs. 

30 minutes for a TV prog

1.5 hrs for a film

Casino promotions are getting too comfortable with their promotions these says

 

[Afi4wins]

Is that with a deposit or without? Must be with a deposit, right?

If so, 69 free spins isn't strange at all. A few other casinos are also dishing out similar offers, lots of free spins for quite a lot of deposit amount...totally irrelevant to me...or for me, hehehe.
