Re: War Machine on Netflix
To be honest, I am tired of how the whole Israeli/Palestinian conflict has consumed the world's attention when so few people are affected relative to other territorial disputes (Darfur for example, or West Papua). And both sides act like dicks - but then that's true everywhere such conflicts arise I guess...
To me they are both as bad as each other.

Me too: but a lot of what they believe and have been told (as most have never actually been to Palestine) is easily demonstrated to be BS. Having been to Israel, West Bank, South Lebanon, Jordan and Syria also gives you some perspective on the realities. I would say life is made shit for Palestinians by Israel but Israeli Arabs have a better life than local nationals in any of the other countries...

Watched this last week, wasn't all that impressed. Can't place whether I just didn't enjoy Pitt's character or if he just didn't act it well.
HR on the other hand - great directing, awesome cinematography and overall a wonderful testament to the real hero(es) it was based on.

Re: War Machine on Netflix
Slightly off topic, I guess, but are any of you guys using a VPN to access a UK Netflix account? So far I have tried maybe a dozen VPN's and none of them work. Any recommendations please? Thanks.

Gave up. Got a dodgy box into the TV instead.

It seems Netflix have got very good at the cat and mouse games. I do run Kodi on my laptop, but is a pain to use frankly and a lot of the content is awful quality, I find.

Re: War Machine on Netflix
so i've started watching 'The Crown' - I am not really all that up on the history of the royal family, so did sh*t like that really go down?

Re: War Machine on Netflix
Could you be more specific about the dodgy box? And what about live sports?

The Crown, is one of Netflix's top rated series...it's all about the Queen of England and all the cr*p she has to deal with and sacrifice in order to be the Queen. I had no idea it was her uncle who was the one that abdicated the crown coz he fell in love with some chick who had been divorced 3 times.
