When this film was given the green light I was worried that it would be a terrible idea based upon the old UK TV show, however what a pleasant surprise, Denzel does a great job here and the scenes of violence are very well choreographed, a good direction for this franchise.

I love using the book challenge each year with myself and my friends, it's good fun and also shocking to see how many books some people manage. I used to love the book giveaways but it's currently only available in the US.

Nah

I was expecting good things from this book but was quite disappointed. The romance wasn't as intense or as fulfilling as many other m/m books I've read have been, though the fact it was set in the UK gave it points from me.

I won't be continuing the series.

Recommend Me
My wife and kids are away for the next 2 nights. It took me almost an hour to choose a film to watch last night and it was pretty dreadful, please help me avoid this again tonight! Recommend anything on in the UK (Sky, Amazon Prime, Netflix) - preferably horror or sci-fi. Thanks!

I was tempted to watch the Evil Dead "trilogy" again but opted instead for Split (thanks Sarah!). It was quite good, McAvoy was pretty impressive.

It wasn’t what I expected. I love the fact it’s set in the UK and I had to keep reading although I half cringed and half was heart warmed by Eleanor’s actions. (0 more)
It took me a while to get into it but once I did I was hooked. So persevere. (0 more)

Book Favorite

"I’ve been touring recently, so I’ve been reading Joe Dunthorne’s The Adulterants. It’s a slim, short novel for taking on the road, and it’s very funny. It’s set in the backdrop of the riots that took place in the UK a few years ago, so it’s light and grotesque at the same time."

Bad neighbors indeed
It seems the title has been changed, in the uk it was called bad neighbors? That title is more fitting. It's generally more the same as the first but a bit cruder. The jokes mainly seem for a younger audience this time out. It's not as good as the first film.

This whole "Once Upon a Deadpool thing seems very weird to me. Isn't the movie going to be like 12 minutes long now? I know the rating system is different there but is going to be re released in a PG-13 version here in the US.

Is this happening in the UK as well?

It is super weird, I don't understand the point, other than a cash grab. I disliked DP2 so I'm not even going to bother with it.

Interested to see how this pans out but you're right, it's going to have so much of it cut out! I understand we are getting it in the UK on December 11. I'm sure I'll check it out as I loved it first time round

Rolling Stone's 128th greatest album of all time
I still can't believe how early this album was, relative to the release of the better known UK punk albums. The album kicks off with the belting Search and Destroy and then Gimme Danger. The rest of the album keeps the raw intensity of those songs.
