I've been marathoning Chuck. Its bloody awful, but I love it. Partly because spies, and partly because I don't know if I've ever fancied someone as much as Zachary Levi

3 episodes into True Detective. Not sure about it at all. The two main guys are so annoying and I can't understand half of what they say. I realise that this is all on me and not bad tv making.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Game of Thrones season 5

Haha!

The graphic explaining evolution in Cosmos is the most elegant thing.

I don't think I slept the night after he had that lad going through France on his bike at the speed of light

Four episodes into Daredevil. Very good so far - the scrap at the end of episode 2 was really well put together. Single take?

Close enough.

A bit of a departure from the tone of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., and a million miles from Agent Carter.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Getting a lot of positive buzz here

I've seen the first two, and I agree with you on that fight scene. It struck me as being quite different to a lot you see of that type.

If feels a lot more like Gotham than the other two

I just finished series 3 of Moone Boy. The first episode was crap. The other five were really good.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

My overriding desire to win the lottery has become not riches or travel, but the freedom and time to catch up on all these damn TV shows

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I'd watch a show about @7- No tomorrow winning the lottery and splurging his winnings on boats to impress his fancy friends

I was just about to ask you about that one-shot scene.

I think this was what started defining the show for me, and the weight that was being played into it. Phil Abraham was directing, and it was always scripted that this scene was going to be a one-shot. For me in my head, with the time, we had, I said let’s do wipes and we’ll be able save things. But Phil challenged us to do a pure one-shot, which really just brought a grounded real feeling to the whole thing. We were able to slow down the fight, and just have this raw, animalistic feeling happening.

So it was genuinely one shot? No cuts?

No cuts. We did do a few Texas Switches between our actor and our stunt double, but it was purely a one shot fight. There were no cuts in that fight. Every performer, the actors and the stunt doubles, were in there performing that fight full on. I’d say there was a minimum of 105 beats, and they killed it.

And how many takes did you have to shoot?

I feel like our magic number was take around 7 or 8.

That must have taken some planning.

Well it was tight, because yeah a good amount of planning had to go into it but again, we had such a short amount of time to do that planning. We had maybe a few days to set up that fight. You know, most feature films would get weeks to rehearse something like this. Even the remake of Oldboy probably had at least a couple weeks to plan this. We had literally days. I felt like the New York stunt community stepped up in a big way. To me, it’s going to be a highlight of the show.
