I'm not sure how Netflix works exactly - maybe they've got regional restrictions? (I'm in central Europe)

You have to wait for it to show up on Youtube then?enorbet said:Thanks for that link Noisy but it says that The Expanse is available in Singapore.. that's it.
Just started watching that. Though its seems to be almost identical to The Returned.gleem said:Another recent Netflix release Is "Glitch" an Australian production. More like X-files. If you accept the premise the story is interesting.

Tghu Verd said:I was disappointed when I first saw The Arrival at the cinema, but watched it on TV a couple of years later, and changed my mind. Very emotive and quite intelligent.
ARQ wasn't bad, kind of a violent Groundhog Day premise that was pretty tense. And Ex Machina was good. Very thought provoking and I loved the ending.
But the hard sci fi movie that really blew my mind was Predestination. Based on Heinlein's "__All You Zombies__" short story, and wow, what an elaboration of the concept.

More spectacular sci fi movies recommendations please? I'm tired of Thanos and alike already.
I do know that the Hobbits got their legendary stoicism from the British folk during the war. Like the British Tolkien admired, Hobbits are all stiff upper lip, and just keep getting up and moving.pinball1970 said:Tolkien has just come out, I will be interested to see where he got his inspiration for LOTR and the Hobbit. He was in the great war so no doubt that will feature, I read 'the dead marshes' were based on the trenches but I don't know much else.
I was obsessed with the books when I was a teenager but a bit disappointed with cartoon when I got round to seeing it. Too much was left out.DaveC426913 said:I do know that the Hobbits got their legendary stoicism from the British folk during the war.

Thanks. Will start looking for them. More guys!
Certainly. They are polar opposites.new6ton said:I think there is a distinction between Barrier and Gateway?
?hmmm27 said:Anything on Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

A gateway provides access.
A barrier prevents access.
Now, a gateway can have a barrier - such as a gate. So, in the 2016 GB, they're talking about the barrier preventing the greeblies from passing through the gateway.
