<p>They are filming an english language series in the chateau next to my apartment, at the moment. Its called Versailles and comes out in 2015 apparently. Can't find whos in it. But I heard one of the production assistants telling some kids at the gates there were big stars just not French ones. They were not impressed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also I don't live next to the Chateau of Versailles. I suspect they are using this smaller place as its somewhat easier to book and less crowded in the summer.</p> -
Could be the following? <br><br>

<p>I watched the first episode of "Black Sails" last night. It's pretty shit, and i would give it a miss. It looks pretty good, but the story and the writing is just average, and after 1 episode, there isn't a memorable character in the bunch. The dude who played Michael Hutchence is supposed to be Long John Silver for fucks sake. Captain Flint isn't even a tough fluffybunny. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of course there was the obligatory nudity. Plenty of titties (none of them memorable), Silver gets it on with 4 whores (but it's looks shit, and PG13-ish), some lesbo pashing and implied finger-banging (but the pretty blonde with the potty mouth doesn't even get the girls out). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Basically, it's not worth the hour of your time, will not be watching next week. </p> -
Anyone watched Gunslingers? Think it is a discovery historical series.

<p>So I've just finished S2 and man this show does my head in ... aside from the fact I really like it and will be starting S3 tomorrow. Some spoilers to follow but it seems as though I'm the only one who hasn't watched it so far.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]I think the writing is pretty poor on this show. The wifey car crash is a case in point, obviously the writers wanted to put her in peril so that Shane could rescue her and create more tension in the love triangle. But they could have given her another reason to be driving rather than going to get Rick to bring Herschel back, because that's what he was flippin doing anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The absolute worst part of the show was when wifey and blondie were arguing, man that scene was tiring for me, I just wanted to bang both their heads together - repeatedly. I dislike blondie less than I dislike wifey at the moment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>T Dog, he's only there as a token black guy and to change personality every couple of episodes to create drama.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Carl, in the first season he wasn't annoying, now I just wish that the gunshot killed him. I hate his 'acting', all the pauses he does, it's like the director is directing him like he's in a mumble core film. I thought him wandering off into the bush to stumble upon the stuck walker was just stupid too, even Carl wouldn't have been that stupid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I must say I was genuinely surprised by the resolution of the love triangle. I don't believe the writers did a good enough job of turning Shane into a villiian though, it's like he did a 360 in a couple of episodes.[/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh well, as I said I'm looking forward to watching S3.</p> -

Turns out it is a documentary.... Must a seen a clip of the recreation -
Watched the first two episodes of <em>Gomorra</em>. It's good, lots of plot progression and action already. <br><br><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' class="bbc_url" href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049116/'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049116/</a><br><br>

<p>anyone else signed up to Lightbox?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The selection for a startup is not bad, and although some the majority of the stuff is old or available through 'other' means, there is still old stuff I haven't seen and the convenience is good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On a free 30 day trial and will probably also see out the first 6 months at half price ($7.50 p/m). By that time there will be a good indication of whether their buying is heading in a good direction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Quality is good, although I have only watched on iPad at the moment. 5 devices can be registered, and I haven't had any buffering issues although I'm on VDSL, so I wouldn't expect any.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only problem is that the missus is now complaining that the wifi at home drops out in the bedroom sometimes when streaming HQ so I'll have to put a repeater in.</p> -
<p>They've been replaying Attenborough's "Frozen Planet" on one of the channels here. I think it's my favourite wildlife documentary series ever. Fucking stunning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TR season 2 of "The Bridge" is pretty good, definitely watch. Shit is getting real. </p> -

<p>I didn't even know what this was until I just looked it up. I tend to avoid anything to do with Spark, as I have a few friends who work there and they're so in love with their 'culture' I just get pissed off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As you say decent selection for a startup.</p> -
