If you like Attenborough and BBC nature and science shows there is a new one coming. It's done by the same people who did Planet Earth and this time with Apple's resources behind them.

I am definitely going to join Apple TV to watch them. They will be narrated by Attenborough.


I just looked into it further:

Who doesn't like Sir David Attenborough?

Apparently people still care about super hero movies. I gave up like 2-3 years ago. The last one i enjoyed was GotG but i would not call that a super hero movie anyway not one that follow the Marvel formula.
I used to be into them a lot more but I'm much more selective. I'll still take a gander if someone provides a strong recommendation and context.

Used to like them too. Watchmen is one of the best movies i watched this century. GotG is a better Star Wars than the new Star Wars. Nolan's Batman was great as well as Raimi's Spider Man. But lately it's the same *** over and over again with a different costume. Can't get more cookie cuter and formulaic than Marvel these days.

Even non-superhero action movies are doing crazy crap. There has always been space for exaggeration in action movies, like James Bond dodging all the bullets but it's gotten way too silly. It's been going on for years already, just look at the evolution of the Fast and Furious franchise. First movie is 3 honda civics stealing DVDs/TVs/electric goods from truckers and simple street racing...fast forward to the last one where Dom Toretto is now working to save the world against terrorists, guy is flying cars through helicopters and whatever other nonsense they come up with.

I started watching unchartered yesterday, which is meant to be an adventure/treasure hunt type of movie...in the first scene Tom Holland is jumping midair from box to box outside of a cargo plane flying...like wtf?
Whatever happened to Indiana Jones just realistically running away from a boulder?

It's gotten silly.

Wrapped up the latest season of Snowfall. Felt like it wasn't as strong as other seasons but still worth following the saga and there were enough WTF??? moments.:amazed:

I was thinking it's some sort of scam,but it's only a few bucks,so...................
I looked further. Look at the urls for the real store and the cheap one. Not the same, and there are no cheap Les Pauls at the second.

No but really curious so I went and ordered one. I spend more on crap to really worry about 150 bucks. Besides, I always wanted a Les Paul to add to my collection, and the color is boss. So I can always hang it on then wall at worst. Stay tuned for a report.

Looking at the url i'd say it's a scam. Watch your credit card closely in the upcoming days ...

I'm always careful and have managed to stay out of trouble so far. Besides, you're protected with Paypal and VISA.
I'm more worried about it being a piece of junk from China. Like I wrote to @angusyoung, it will look good on the wall, but it sure looks genuine and I remember seeing this ad before.

It's eitehr a scam where they'll run with the money or a cheap copy from china. Personally i don'T mind cheap copy from china when it comes to bags or things like that but a guitar hell no lol i guess as a display piece for 100$ it could do the job.

Looking at the pictures, if they are really the pictures of the actual guitar I'll be getting, I'll be happy.

It's a calculated risk. Not much to lose and I may be surprised. Anyway, it's just for fun, and I am a player.

So BCS is unfolding to an end..

Sad to see Nacho bite the dust. An heroic and honorable end to a great supporting and layered character, played by a Quebecer hailing from Quebec City. Mando rarely gets a mention in Quebec media, even though he's an integral part of one of the best TV drama series of the last few decades.

His demise was foreseeable though, even before last season. So if we're going with predictable, it's very likely Kim either dies or goes to prison.

Oh and ever since she proposed to get married, I have this nagging impression that she's long conning Jimmy.
