“I AM NOT A RAPIST!”........BBC 1/3  Yesterday

 

Of the 60,000 rape cases reported to police last year, it is estimated that up to eight per cent were false allegations. This documentary hears the stories of three young men who were falsely accused of rape, examining the consequences of the allegations on their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

 

It is rare to put a spotlight on those falsely accused of rape, but these men's distressing stories need telling too.

The Danish movie 'Jagten' (2012) - The Hunt, by Thomas Vinterberg with Mads Mikkelsen, is a movie on a smiliar theme.  Rather disturbing film on how a young girl's little lie devastates the life of the school teacher...

Well-deserved 8.3 rating on Imdb.

Thanks Peter I will have a look at it----this is not a movie but a Doco....maybe I should go back and edit it. There has been a few TV dramas of late about this also...Liar comes to mind.

What you've all been waiting for (sarcastically)  .  Your modern woke HBO family drama series premiering on 9-14.  U.S. Military mother (also the father/man in the relationship), married to same gender foreign lady, raising her woke son with an african multi gender girlfriend on a military base in Italy .  ✌️????

 

 

Can't wait!

If you give it a chance, it's a good movie about the US these days with the cop issue and race.

 

 

This trailer seemed poor to me but still curious I checked out some imdb reviews.

Some of these negative blurbs are hilarious.

Watched again # A Perfect World # 1993 movie, directed and staring Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner. Enjoyed it.

Can,t believe Clint Eastwood is now already 90 years old.

 

Another TV show I liked and watched a few months back was # The Outsider #, but I have to admit that it starts slow. 10 Episodes.

Can't find I am not a rapist, there seems to be only an MP4 recording.

 

Any suggestions?

Better than ..Hanoi Jane??...... ????....Thanks will27

[Will27]

Looking forward to this one.

Starts tonight.

 

Summary: On 9 February 1983, Detective Chief Inspector Peter Jay is called to the leafy north London address of 23 Cranley Gardens, where he discovers the drains clogged with rotting human flesh and bones. But the extent of this grisly discovery only becomes apparent when the culprit returns from work. Dennis Nilsen, a meek man, freely admits to the police that it’s not just one or two bodies, but as many as 15 or 16. As the police try to secure a conviction and identify the victims from scant DNA evidence, biographer Brian Masters attempts to understand why. A game of chess with `Des’ begins, and while Brian may be exhilarated by his newest subject, he’s unaware what this new obsession could do to his life.

One of my favorite movies of all time - but I really wonder if there’s any great difference between the criterion Blu-ray release and this new 4K restoration apart from the extra pixels. Will check it.

Impact of Murder-----Season 2 Premiered Sep 11, 2020

Same for season 2 which just kicked off. There is no Trailer for it on Youtube just first full episode. 

 

"The Blurb"..........Through a victim's own words, viewers understand the horror they endured or the significance of the life that was taken, providing an acute understanding of the collateral damage of murder.

This thrilling drama by the co-creator the 'The Killing' follows Danish police officer Rolf who, five years after his daughter's disappearance, discovers a fatal flaw in the DNA database, which might finally help him find his daughter.

Has this pile of poo been mentioned yet? dear God it's as bad as could be. Far too complicated, gave up after 10 minutes, too noisy music all the way through over people speaking, an hour too long and performances from robots, waste of money.

Are you trying to tell us you did not like it.....

Born to Kill---- DOCUMENTARY:  Channel 5    Date: Monday 14th September 2020

 

This is the Dennis Nilsen, story---- seems Channel 5 decided to mess with BBC drama "Des" so if you are watching (& enjoying) that, it might be best to give this a miss. But if you want a straight out Doco on it then this is it.

 

 

The Blub---The crimes of serial killer Dennis Nilsen, who was arrested in February 1983 after human remains were found in his household drains. It was later discovered he had liked to bathe and dress his victims' corpses, and was guilty of killing at least 12 young men in and around his home in the north London district of Muswell Hill.

Just finished bingeing all 3 seasons of  Norsemen ( Vikingane ) absolutely loved it !!, very dry  humour ( no canned laughter or bells and whistles in this ), if you liked Life of Brian/Holy Grail then this is for you.

 

Fun Fact : all scenes were shot in Norweigen language then straight after in English, Norweigen language for domestic viewers and English for Netflix !!

 

Onto “ We hunt together “ , after 2 episodes am enjoying it so far but hoping it doesn’t get bogged down and just become another vehicle for the woke brigade !

[recom273]

There is an ITV drama about Dennis “it’s just Kentucky fried” Nilsen too ..

Try downloading (using the magnet) directly from the main search results page rather than the individual torrent information page.

Also in the "general" preferences on Utorrent make sure the 3 update boxes are NOT checked.

Already a few years old, not great, but enjoyable.

Presuming you are on Windows, right click the task bar and pull up task manager and if you see two, force quit on of the instances.

FWIW - I used to run an old version of uTorrent on each of my desktop machines as a quick and dirty method of snatching stuff. Then I discovered qBitTorrent - It’s very similar to uTorrent but whithout so much bloat. You might want to give it a try.

I have been finding qbitTorrent very slow. Not for downloads themselves, but to open after downloaded. I right click on the "Open destination folder" and it takes ages for it to open. No idea why, it wasn't always like that.

Sounds like your computer, maybe add some RAM - I have a home server that seeds lots of stuff that runs rtorrent, so not so familiar with qBit, all I knew was that if I need to snatch a book or app quickly, it was quicker to open than UTorrent.
