Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Parker Lewis I'm not sure which entered the vocabulary first, Crossrail or Crossfit, but I've enjoyed catching this series. So far I've watched the third episode of season 1, and the first episode of season 2. What was interesting was seeing the artist's impressions of Crossrail depicted an incredibly high number of people in suits, but no chavs or homeless people. It didn't depict arrogant/aspergic white business men stalking millimeters behind innocent passengers walking to the platform, or grumpy bearded professors rushing to catch their train, only to break into anguish because they've missed it, even though the next train is just around the tunnel LOL!I would have liked to have seen more of the upstairs/downstairs aspect, given the British fondness for this. I would have liked some of the series to focus on the cleaners and other essential staff.At the time of screening of season 1, Brexit wasn't even in the vocabulary, David Cameron was preparing for the 2015 general election.I almost expected Midsomer Murders to get into swing with the discovery of skeletons - it was an emergency burial groun.Finsbury Circus has been appropriated by rail workers until 2018, but locals who have their jaguars in their million dollar garage, typically complain about oasis lost, moaning, oh dear. the installation of elevator was interesting, and I can imagine arrogant business folk getting upset if anyone's in their way.All the Crossrail pieces reminded of a sophisticated Ikea.100K pounds per day is the penalty Crossrail pays if they fall behind...100K pounds is enough to buy 8 semi-detached houses in Carlisle, which is on the Scottish border.I really hope the authorities that be dedicate the Crossrail to Jean Charles de Menezes.
