I was going to watch Fortitude when I heard Ben Frost was doing the OST but gently caress watching programmes about snowy landscapes whilst living in a freezing house. Favourite part of Weekly Wipe was the almost blasphemic Churchill stuff. I can imagine the home counties sixty something who got BoJo's book for Xmas switching over to it and having a moment.

stevey666 posted:So.. anyone have any thoughts on Wolf Hall? I like it; I haven't read the book and am more unfamiliar with that period and place than I should be, and it reminds me of The Godfather in the way I kinda can't follow or anticipate things. Sounds negative, but I do enjoy it. I like the natural lighting. The only thing I don't like (which can't be helped without creating sets or defacing scheduled buildings) is that the locations are in an old, decaying, decrepit state with bare unpainted stone and crumbling mortar when they should really be more homely and new and maintained.

stevey666 posted:So.. anyone have any thoughts on Wolf Hall? It's beautiful. Every single scene filmed by candlelight looks like a painting by Vermeer or something. And Mark Rylance is amazing, his expression of dark, calculating hatred when he watched the masque mocking the cardinals' death and noted oh-so-carefully who was participating and laughing....ugh, it gave me the shivers. Also, loved his scene with Mary Boleyn. No idea who that actress is, but she was astonishing, a sort of weird mix of sweetness, seductiveness and despair.

To look at it's a bit boring. Just straightforward telly-directing which does show off some very nice buildings. It also took 2 hours for Cromwell to get any teeth at all, for too long it was the adventures of the nicest man in the world who just wont stop cradling animals so you know how loving nice this bastard is. Mark Ryland's a good actor though, I'll give it that.

What I love about Brooker's shows is that he and his mates actually get this stuff. They don't just throw around words like troll or vlogger to appear relevant. The Zeb bit was so depressingly true to life.

I don't deny/argue against that she was good -- I just couldn't take it for more than about 30 seconds. Perhaps that's a sign of how effective her routine was!

Loving Wolf Hall at the moment and want to gush about the costumes for a second. They look amazing. Tudor fashion is so strange to our eyes that it can be really difficult to dress serious characters up in them and have them be taken...well... seriously. Elizabeth with Cate Blanchette also springs to mind as a period drama that totally nails the costumes and as a result has an incredibly menacing tone, hard to do when the whole cast is prancing about in tights and codpieces. Mr. Squishy posted:To look at it's a bit boring. Just straightforward telly-directing which does show off some very nice buildings. It also took 2 hours for Cromwell to get any teeth at all, for too long it was the adventures of the nicest man in the world who just wont stop cradling animals so you know how loving nice this bastard is. I agree it would have been nice to see Cromwell's nasty bastard side much earlier on. I'm still really glad they took they time to include all the animals and their owner's devotion to them though (or embarrassment in the case of Gregory who wants cooler dogs daaaaad). I think some period dramas tend to focus in way to much on the perceived relentless misery of earlier centuries (I'm looking at you The Mill) and how people were suffering too much or agonising over God too much to have room for pets, singing, games and larking about.

I think that a great many, if not most, productions forget that world-building is just as vital to historical settings as it is to Scifi/Fantasy ones. I'm watching History Channel's Vikings at the moment and they are pulling off a similar trick. Actually managing to create a living, breathing world simply by remembering that while people will always be people, the period they are depicting wasn't just modern sensibilities in funny clothes. And nor was it just relentless poo poo-smeared misery.

I like Long generally but also she's v. positive about everything which I can't relate to and her comics in the Guardian are/were abysmal. e: also her Radio 4 programmes were really bad (maybe I don't like her? Never seen her live)

I think I'll try again on 4oD later so I can skip through to Jon Snow summarizing pop songs, or just generally for Mel B being quiet. It is brought up that a lot of songs are written about arses, which should be good for a few minutes of chuckles, and she just kills the conversation dead.
