    Never got into Big Brother, there was just a load of sitting about doing fuck all*, and I'd remember when instead of showing Live Casino stuff, they'd have live Big Brother for 6 hours... and people would watch it?!

    *at least in The Circle they cut out the boring bits

    Honestly, the Australian one is awesome. 

    So with Australia, there's two tasks every day as well as an eviction in every episode. The two tasks are rewards for the House and the other gives power to the winner of the task to nominate three people up for eviction. On the night, the host brings the housemates together where they openly discuss about their thoughts and honestly, sometimes they are brutally honest to the point it makes for awesome viewing but there are people in there who will openly say they're playing a game. It's tactical and it's brilliant. Best of all, the viewers don't get involved until the final night where they vote for their winner.

    How dare you speak ill of the dead :cry:Ours was incredibly hit and miss depending on the season but I loved the final season, which was like 2 or 3 years ago now! How are you watching Aussie BB, my bb? 

    If I had to be a catfish I feel like I'd want to be a 50-something cougar. I have this older white woman just waiting to burst out from inside of me so I think I might be able to pull it off, ayooooo

    They were on YouTube but they got removed! As soon as I have found a way, I'll tell you. Its been so good!! 

    Also, guys...did you hear that The Circle has now been cancelled?! WTF! 😔

    Yes!! Here's hoping you get on!! It's probably one of the few reality shows I think I could maybe handle, but I would still feel awkward using the bathroom knowing they have cameras there hahaha. 

    Let's say you did get into the show but you HAD to be a catfish, what would your catfish identity be? This is aimed at both of you! I need to mull it over, but I'd want it to be a demographic I know a lot about so I don't end up being bland and basic which is the trap so many catfish fall into.

    Well I've seen a lot of Catfish TV show recently, so I think I could pull off a chubby black woman, as it seems to make up 90% of their culprits.

     

    Joking aside, I would have to pick some sort of geek gamer girl, I have a friend who would do perfect as she is great on the eyes and will catch the other players, and best lies are grown on truth, so if I can just chat the same shit that I know about, just a different gender = Powah.

    Just so long as no period chat comes up (see US show for details)

    Interestingly, I'd do the same thing but with a male. My friend is a good-looking bloke and could easily pull if he wanted to but he's a disastrous flirt...but I'm not. He's geeky and clever and has been hit on quite a few times but can't flirt to save his life. However, I have a bit of a flirty personality and I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to films and games too so I'd probably flirt my way through it, have a bit of a laugh and that.

    If I went in as a woman, I'd definitely be fine with any "female chats" because most of my mates have been female and I used to work for a health store (and now training to be a PT) where we had to study and talk about the menstrual cycle. 

    However, if I was to go in, I'd probably be myself.

    I still need to watch the US version of the show! I started watching Big Brother Australia (which is 10x better than ours if you're a fan of Big Brother, by the way). Is US Circle any good? I bet you all miss the "TOOONAAAAAAAAIIT!" haha.

    How good is Cobra Kai? Half way through season 1 and I'm hooked, absolutely love it!

    It's truly amazing! It's one of my favourite shows ever! Watched it twice over lockdown. So much love and detail went into the series and it gets better! 


  5. I had the full intention of playing this yesterday instead of going to the gym but my arms are absolutely aching so I skipped it! I'm absolutely gutted but I'm hopefully going to play it over the weekend! I really miss the game! It's great to see someone else still playing it. The game definitely deserves more recognition!


  6. I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain how the power-ups work in layman terms. I can't understand what they do! 

    "Stronger" seems to only make the ghosts vulnerable for the shortest amount of time but that's about all I've honestly noticed. 

    It's fun to play but I can't help but feel like they could've made a tutorial for the power-ups or something.

    Wife and I have been keeping an eye out. Identical external shots, identical UK flats, but you know how US engineering can be - emulation to the max. But the UK plug sockets have revealed the TRUTH. 

    Dunno if later seasons went more domestic as they trialled it on foreign ground.

    They are the same flats all the time, apparently. I adored the reaction of Snakerika and Felix. She is so fucked off but hiding it and I was here for every second, haha.

    WHAT THE BLOODY!!

      result spoilers inside (Hide contents)

    NATALYA/FELX GET IT GIRL! So happy for her and man did she play the game! Not only did she come in late but she won as a catfish and by pretending to be the boyfriend of one of the biggest players in the game - add to that the tie breaker at the end meant that Manrika tactically rating him first is what pushed it over the edge to him winning! :laughing:

     

    It's a shame Syed didn't get higher but they all did great. Smashing end! 

    Felt like the episode could have been longer or a two parter though. Would have loved to see some best bits shown to the finalists and some snaking events played back, also seemed a bit pointless having the old players back when they didn't really get time to talk to them at all. 

     

    Exactly. I feel the same! Maybe there could be another episode or something?

    I'm betting Syed or Andy to win!

    I really hope so! They've been great from the start and Andy's or Syed's speech was brilliant. Honestly, most of them were but I liked theirs and Manrika's. Who do you think Andy's gone to see? I think it'll be Alice...but at this point of the game, considering nobody will know until the very end, Manrika might be the way to go but I think his conscience would kick in.

  11. I am stupidly addicted to this!!

    I'm not exaggerating! I was already addicted to Pac-man but this has really taken it to new levels. The only thing is that I wish it was easy to understand the power-ups and stuff but I guess that will come with time. Has anybody become the Pac-One yet?


  12. Just now, Josh64 said:

    The Pippa and Femi/Joey tactical move of framing the Circle Fam didn't exactly go to plan eh? :laughing: I thought it was initially so clever of them too, but with how close the final four (that aren't new) are and given the insane amount of twists this season, it's no surprise that they guessed that JoePip would make a return as a new character. 

    I wasn't that huge on Scott/Dot initially but they grew on me so it's a shame they left but makes sense now given the other options. I'm glad Syed did stick to his word with Andy else that would have put him in a bad light. Other than that it was quite a chilled out and relaxed episode, didn't even really have an insane cliffhanger either! I think Friday is the last day, so shall we lock in our predictions @Beast @EEVILMURRAY ?

    Given her power throughout I think it's likely that Manrika will win. So that's my official guess. Who do I want to win? Either Syed or Felix, Syed because he's been a laugh right the way through and Felix as s/he has been so great at playing the game - also can't wait to see THAT reveal!  

    It's so weird because when they said about Manrika, I thought it was dumb about what they said regarding Gemma. I'd have said something like "It's so obvious Manrika is a snake" as she has crossed a few people in the Circle and it wouldn't exactly have given them a timeframe. She could also have doubted Andy by thinking he held a grudge, Felix with playing with her emotions all along or even Syed. I do not like Alice. I don't know what it is but I just feel he's trying too hard to stir shit up and whilst that's a good tactic, it's far too late to do in the game and has focused on that rather than focus on personality. I also thought the priest could've held a lot of potential- especially given the fact they found out about Manrika but they just entirely wasted that opportunity.

    I think Snakerika has won it, personally. She's played a good game, I'll give her that, but I just hated her commentary. It was way too cut-throat and I did feel bad that Natalya played with her emotions at the start but now, I really don't. It could all be fake but it just didn't go down too well with me. It was nice to see a little bit of her feel guilty for playing everybody when she apologised to Andy but it's far too late. I wouldn't want to be her friend in real life if she behaves the way she does in The Circle and according to her, she used to be "manipulative and nasty"...maybe she hasn't changed too much. I would like Andy or Syed to win. I've been fans of them from the start and they seem like nice, genuine guys and Syed switching accents to get into character made me laugh.

    WHAT THE BLOODY!

    Well that theory got shat on within seconds of last night's episode!

    I know, right?! I'm glad Lurker Mode exists though and I'm in love that Femi and Pippa can finally see Snakerika for who she really is!

    Just now, Josh64 said:

    Another cliff hanger, I can't even :cry:Though I highly suspect it's gonna be Andy that will go, as much as Syed says he has his back, when push comes to shove I'm pretty sure Manrika will force her choice over his. 

    Neither can I! This is crazy! I would've said Andy would be safe but after Billy and Tally...it's so unknown! I'm hoping it's Dot, honestly. I like Andy and even though I'd have wanted Felix gone, I doubt it'll happen.

    Looking forward to the return of the real Chucky.

    You have just made my night!! I just finished watching the Chucky collection the other night. I'm so fucking hyped for this! Any release dates??? 😭

    I just can't help but think how awkward it is to go from pen pals you've known for about 5 days to suddenly sharing an apartment together :laughing: But at least they got on, imagine if it had have been Marika and Andy as influencers, they'd have definitely used the block influencer thing on each other and then be trapped in an apartment together as a vicar. 

    I agree it's a bit cheap at this point though, more so because the other players of the circle will have to be pretty stupid to not see through it. It's suspicious enough to have a new starter this late in the game but to have them come in straight after a double blocking, as a vicar on Easter, with a twist that has already been done, with no message to say "Pippa/Femi are on there way to see one of you now" - it won't be hard for people to quickly put things together and work it out. 

    Also I usually love Syed but his simping of Manrika is getting a bit much. 

    I agree with everything here. Regarding Syed, I'm starting to think that maybe this whole debacle has planted a seed in his head about Manrika...well, I hope it has! 


  16. 1 hour ago, EEVILMURRAY said:

    Makes sense, but that is the worst kind of intention to go into the Circle with. It's a great side effect, but shouldn't be your main goal. Main goal = Monies please.

    I don't think Manrika will question Andy about it, because she'll be too scared, but I think Vicar chap will slip some stuff up about knowing something they shouldn't as they weren't in the circle at the time and that'll make people suspicious.

    And also another new player tonight. Or rather

    TOOO NOO PLAEY-AAAHS JOYN THE SAAAH-CULLL

    I think that as well. I think it's a bit of a crap twist though considering it was already done two weeks ago. I'd rather them fight for their place in the Circle or something. The Assassin concept was quite an interesting twist as was the Tale of Two Tallys but this just seems cheap at this stage in the game. I think it's possibly because they're two newbies and I can't seem to get away from the fact they would have done this anyway. A good pairing for the Vicar would have probably been Felix and Dot ironically. I think they would have got it in the bag.

    Looking at @Beast's Blu-ray collection...

    You certainly have a genre down-pat, huh?

    Channel 4 showed BlacKkKlansman a few days ago. Never seen it before, so why the hell not?

    It's described as "Dark Comedy", not too certain about that. It had it's moments (The final phone call was hilarious and very satisfying), but it doesn't feel like that was what the movie was aiming to be.

    If you never heard of the Ku Klux Klan before watching this (Yeah, extremely unlikely, just roll with it), you'd be forgiven for thinking that they look like some kind of Saturday morning cartoon villain group, their views and beliefs are so extreme, it should be laughable. But it's not, and that's depressing.

    It's a good movie, starts a bit slow in the first 20 minutes, but kept my interest once the main plotline kicked in. Would recommend.

      Spoilers now (Hide contents)

    I'm actually quite surprised none of the good guys died by the end. Was going through the whole movie expecting tragedy to strike, but nope.

    Wouldn't call it a happy ending though, what with all of Ron's hard work getting covered up and then the fact that he's very likely made himself a massive target for the KKK.

    And the way the movie ended really hammered home the fact that things haven't changed all that much these days, especially in America.

     

    I love my horrors. My collection is in genre order because its the only way to maintain a bit of order and find the movies I want. I still need to put them in alphabetical order. Overall, I have 585 blurays (I've got rid of some I didn't want) and scanned them in the Bluray app to keep track. I have most Disney blurays (bar 5 and this does include Disney animation, Disney Pixar, Disney Channel Original Movies and Disney Direct-to-DVD but I'm only going on what's available in the UK and its scarce compared to the US). 

    The genres I'm going through are horrors, boxing, crime/gangster, drama, romance/romcom, Christmas, action, family, comedy, fantasy/sci-fi, music/Musicals, Disney, Star Wars and Superheroes (Marvel and DC). 

    Actually, a question if anybody knows as I'm not massively familiar with them but want to be: There's a watch order of how to view the MCU films but is there one of the newer DC films?

    I love the trilogy man, though for some reason I never thought to try them on Blu-ray! The audio/visual quality of the original film has always been a bit iffy so if they managed to get the original film reel and update to bluray then that's mega, I honestly think the DVD I have, despite being official, is just a rip of a VHS lol. 

    I only half watched 2/3 for all these years as they were regular showings on Sky Movies and we always had Sky Movies on at the care home so between rooms I'd always catch snippets and try to piece it all together - It was nice to actually watch them both properly last year.

    I really really loved the third film, despite being the least eventful and revisiting the now tired formula of meeting girl and getting rival in such a convoluted way. Just the whole making of the shop and starting a new life in the city with Miyagi felt so wholesome to me, by this point Ralph Macchio was also pretty cute, though not the hot daddy he ends up becoming in Cobra Kai, ho mama. 

    I got The Next Karate Kid on the Microsoft Store recently (thank you Bing Rewards!) and am probably 3/4 of the way in but I got sleepy and stopped. I swear I will finish it at some point! I kinda like it for how cheesy it is and more Mr Miyagi is always a good thing but I'm genuinely shocked at how bad the acting from Hillary Swank is, and this is coming from a big Saved by the Bell fan :laughing: No knock on her as I appreciate it was one of her first roles, but couldn't the director have stepped in at some parts and asked for a retake? Some of the scenes she delivers are so stiff lol. 

    Same. I absolutely loved it. The Next Karate Kid isn't too bad. It's just cheesy and feels a lot like a direct-to-video movie sequel that has one of the stars from a successful franchise in but tries to do something different. Hilary Swank was bad in it but it's just 90s cheese and nothing more. The Karate Kid Part III is also my favourite as well. It felt like Daniel had grown up, they successfully branched away from the romance routine but still remained faithful to the series and its formula of good people vs. arseholes, which is why I love Cobra Kai so much.

    I've set myself a challenge to watch my entire blu-ray collection this year (not counting TV series but just movies). So here's what I've seen so far...

    Scream- 8/10 (a classic horror for me)
    Scream 2- 9/10 (best one for me)
    Scream 3- 5/10 (worst one for me)
    Scream 4- 7/10 (when I have a kid, I'm going to tell them this was Scream 3)
    Prometheus- 5/10 (some great scenes but why does almost every character have zero common sense?)
    Alien: Covenant- 7/10 (surprisingly really good and had a lot of fun with this)
    Alien- 7/10 (a classic sci-fi with a great tense atmosphere)
    Aliens- 9/10 (thoroughly enjoyed this one)
    Alien3- 6/10 (it's a good end to a great trilogy)
    Alien: Resurrection- 1/10 (like I said...a great end...to a great...trilogy...)
    Alien vs. Predator- 7/10 (a lot of fun and just enjoyable)
    AVPR: Alien vs. Predator Requiem- 0/10 (ew! why is it so bloody dark?!)
    Predator- 6/10 (I know people love this but apart from the last 35 minutes...it was a bit bland with no tension)
    Predator 2- 6/10 (I just felt like I jumped in the middle of the story but a great thrill ride nonetheless)
    The Predator- 7/10 (I was very surprised at how good this was after the last two. Very enjoyable and definitely the best of the Predator series)
    Predators- 6/10 (It was a good concept and I enjoyed the 'game')
    Child's Play (1988)- 6/10 (I love the practical effects used in this and the Chucky revelation scene)
    Child's Play 2- 8/10 (I just love me some Chucky and this has always been my favourite one)
    Child's Play 3- 6/10 (Has a few good kills and one-liners but Andy was quite boring)
    Bride of Chucky- 7/10 (A lot of fun and Tiffany makes a great addition to the series)
    Seed of Chucky- 4/10 (Glen/Glenda is okay but I think it would've been better if he wanted to kill but didn't know why or how to stop or something)
    Curse of Chucky- 7/10 (Iconic return to the series and definitely turned up the gore as well as adding an interesting backstory)
    Cult of Chucky- 8/10 (Very close second favourite because of returning characters from the original series as well as the gory kills and interesting twist to the story)
    Child's Play (2019)- 7/10 (I think a lot of people were way too harsh with this)
    The Lost Boys- 8/10 (CRRRRYYYYYY LITTLE SISTER!)
    The Lost Boys: The Tribe- 3/10 (ew! The vampires looked way too weird...it reminded me of a cross between the Buffy vamps and 30 Days of Night vamps)
    The Lost Boys: The Thirst- 6/10 (a great end to the series with some flaws)
    A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)- 9/10 (a near enough perfect horror film for me)
    A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge- 5/10 (It lost it's scariness for me but it's also not a terrible film?)
    A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors- 8/10 (Love this and it's the best out of the sequels)
    A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master- 6/10 (not bad, not good...it just exists)
    A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: Dream Child- 1/10 (not even worth the view)
    Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare- 1/10 (ew!)
    Wes Craven's The New Nightmare- 9/10 (my favourite of the lot. It's very unique and very dark)
    Freddy vs. Jason- 7/10 (Just a lot of fun)
    A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)- 5/10 (I liked the new Freddy. Unpopular opinion but he felt more realistic)
    IT (1990)- 6/10 (I loved Tim Curry as Pennywise but the constant flashbacks were a little annoying even though they were needed)
    IT (2017)- 8/10 (I love the book and I loved this. I love the characters and Pennywise was absolutely brilliant)
    IT: Chapter Two- 7/10 (Although it's not as strong as the last one, I still loved it nonetheless and I loved the finale)
    The Conjuring- 8/10 (great scares, great story and just an overall different feel to the usual 'haunted house' shit we seem to always get)
    The Conjuring 2- 7/10 (A strong sequel that gives me hope for the third)
    Annabelle- 3/10 (No)
    Annabelle: Creation- 5/10 (It's alright)
    Annabelle Comes Home- 5/10 (What is it with characters having no common sense?!)
    The Nun- 5/10 (I expected better, honestly. She was great in The Conjuring 2 but this felt off the mark)
    The Evil Dead (1981)- 7/10 (I love practical effects but everything else was lacking. It felt more like a showcase of talents over anything)
    Evil Dead 2- 8/10 (I appreciate the effects more in this and the humour is definitely in this more but again, it lacked everything...maybe I missed the point?)

    I'm now on Army of Darkness so I'll probably update this next Sunday and go from there! haha. The quest continues!

    Right, as I'm doing this on the phone I won't be able to quote each thing sadly.

    I have zero doubt that footage of Vithun is lacking is because he was a dull character, even when seeing his notes you can see he'd done random accountancy numerical bullshit, and all they ever deemed worthy of broadcasting was him failing at rainbow Jenga.

    I didn't originally think that Femi got "mad", more of just being a mardy bitch, but seeing him tonight I could definitely see where you guys were coming from.

    It's not hype Beast, just annoying winky face emoji, it's that she cannot do it with her voice and accent, seeing "Battle lines are drawn", and then her unnecessarily shouting BATTLE LAINES AH DRAAHN ruins any sense of anticipation.

    Nice to see Femi go, sad to see Pippa, fisting that hashtag triple threat (I didn’t mind GeezerGals Beast, it was ScholarSquad on previous season which irked me!)  But as they were so tight with Manrika, will the vicar reveal his true identity with her?

    I kind of understand that, to be honest. It just felt like Vithun wasn't there for the money but more there to make friends. I wouldn't believe that about anyone else but him. I was sad to see Billy go but unfortunately he did the same thing. I never understood the Billy thing when Gemma bullshitted about Billy making blunders about football? Like, why didn't Andy or Syed ask him footie questions before the Ratings?!

    Femi is the worst. He comes off as the type of guy who would be angry at everything and wouldn't be able to take constructive criticism and tonight's task with the bitchy book had shown a very ugly side to him. However it was made better when he still thought that Manrika would be on his side.

    She's quite annoying now that you guys have pointed it out! Damn you both, haha! crying laughing emoji.

    I didn't mind Geezer Gals or Circle Siblings but it was the fact that it's obviously Manrika's way to lull them into a false sense of loyalty to then just turn on them. None of the Geezer Gals are now there and now she's after the only 'Circle Sibling' and now she's got a new Triple Threat. However, I did love the sweat-on they got when Andy done that hashtag! 

    The twist is a bit stupid at this point in the series now but I'm wondering if Manrika will question the #TripleThreat hashtag as they eliminated them. Either she may be thinking Andy has got to the others or someone has spoken to Andy. It will be interesting to see if they tell Manrika but we all know that she will only use this as leverage to Block them.


  20. I'm so looking forward to tonight's episode!

    I get what you're saying, @EEVILMURRAY regarding Vithun. He was quite quiet but I guess that could happen because of the big characters in the game. I think even the Tory dad/daughter combo (Penny) was a bit more outspoken even if they were bloody bland!

    I don't mind the quick quips but like you and @Josh64 have pointed out, it's the parts where she shouts! "TONIIIIIGHT!"...bitch, no need to hype me up this way, I'm already living for the next episode! haha. I just really hope Snakerika doesn't win!!!

    I really hope Andy and the others realise quick!
