  1. I love oval. 1st heard some when Richard James was interviewed on Radio 3's Mixing It circa 95 (whenever HAB was originally released) Richard's selection of tracks (from memory) included an Oval piece (I think the politics of digital audio) , some spaceheads (evacuate the planet?) , Children Talking and some other stuff. Still have it on tape somewhere. Also Markus Popp's contribution elevates this album by the already amazing supergroup Gastr Del Sol (O'rourke/Grubbs/Mcentire/Brown) http://www.discogs.c...release/1088426

  2. Romanzo Criminale A lovely italian show from 2008 that takes place in the 70's/80's. A rags to riches story of a crime gang's rise to power in Rome. This show is amazing and quality-wise is on the level of an HBO or Showtime production. It seems totally weird that I haven't heard of it all these years.

    Äkta Människor just started watching this, its looking pretty interesting so far. Its a sweedish scifi show, kind of like if the movie AI was a series. It has the Oskar kid from Låt den rätte komma in.

     

     

    hmmmm interesting

     

    just about to start watching Underbelly, an Aussie Crime Drama based on real events of the 90s. My mate recommends it. He absolutely loves it but that is mainly cause he was in Australia at the time and was chomping on the exact pills that the characters in this show were making/selling (allegedly). Not sure if that's enough to make it a good show but it's all free on LoveFilm anyway so I'll have a looksee.

  3. Braquo - Just watched the first series of this French cop show (created by Olivier Marchal of 36 fame.) Plenty of assault / kidnapping / murder / arson / blackmailing / armed robbery from the outset. And that's just the cops. Kind of fills an Engrenages shaped hole. Wasn't convinced after ep1 but thoroughly enjoyed it by the end.

  4. An old tape of stuff I made on the Playstation 1 in about 1999.

     

    It's awesome

  5. my problem with it is that Walt and Jesse are believable characters - Walt being a totally straight dude who has found himself embroiled in a crimal environment and dealing with it... that's fair enough. jesse, his partner, was always (before they let on in the 4th or 5th episode) a suburban middle class douchebag so his unrealistic criminal persona was believable because he was all in actuality a well-to-do nice middle class boy pretending to be a G.

    HOWEVER... when there is any portrayal of actual criminals, the scriptwriting becomes blatantly unrealistic. So far (i'm only 7 episodes in) all the scenes with "real" criminals have been a bit cringey and/or laugh inducingly bad.

     

    I don't see it. I don't get the sense of unrealistic, could someone give an example? Only thing that ever caught me as unrealistic was the acting of jesse's friends and maybe that tuco dude. I've thoroughly enjoyed gus and mike, sometimes some of the other henchmen have a lame thug attitude but nothing that stikes me as so unrealistic that I couldn't still watch.

     

    Are you guys basing this off of real criminals you know who act nothing like this?

     

    Don't know who Gus and Mike are. Tuco is shit. Still undecided if DEA Hank's character is supposed to come across like a total clown or a badass. If the former then his lines are forgivable, if the latter then his lines are awful.... The story is entertaining enough but the writing is not great at the best of times.

     

     

     

    The Bridge - Top notch. Far better than Forbrydelsen. I preferred Borgen to Forbrydelsen though, and Engrenages is better than all of them.
