The London stuff is always wrong though. Like the whole Tube bit in Skyfall is just wrong. He's meant to be doing Westminster -> Temple I think which ought to be District line but its clearly not District line rolling stock, the station is clearly Embankment etc. and that's a British movie.

Skyfall fucking up the tube was about #1000 on that movie's list of shit things. I used to somewhat grudgingly watch every Bond movie, even the Brosnan ones, but Skyfall cured me of that, and I haven't watched one since. Trying to make James Bond into some sort of somehow Harry Potter-esque (I don't even know how they managed to create that vibe but they did) twee inter-generational family conflict shit was beyond the pale.

But yes that was much mocked at the time!

Here it's like they're actually trolling by stuff having the doors open to Trafalgar square man that's just next-level. That doesn't happen by accident. Someone had to think hard about that and make it happen. Probably several people. They probably storyboarded it!



God that'd be particularly bad with 24 because of the "real time" aspect just really reinforcing the bullshit.

I'd quite enjoy them doing it in realtime. A whole episode of him stuck on the district line in tunnels under Kensington because a train broke down. Or him trying to get to south London, getting as far as London Bridge and it turns out all the South Eastern trains are cancelled that day and just sacking it off.

Only really in the first season (which was the best because of it).

By season 3 they'd basically given up on that stuff and he could get from pretty much anywhere in LA to anywhere else in LA in less than an episode.

When I went to LA it took about 2 hours to get from Hollywood to Santa Monica on the bus because of the horrendous traffic. Google tells me thats 10 miles on one straight main road.

And then, to top it off, when I got to Santa Monica pier it was getting dark and I got bitten by bloody vampires.

I think you probably remember it a bit better than me! He definitely still got stuck in traffic sometimes in later seasons, I remember that, but yeah not for two solid hours.

The thing I remember most about 24 was when at the end of one of the season (4? 5? Maybe even earlier), Jack just breaks down in his big black SUV and starts weeping. That was maybe the closest to realism it ever got (the furthest being the general Adventures of Sexy Lesbian Assassin Mandy across various seasons).

It's Charring Cross, which is the other one they use in movies a lot. They use the disused Jubilee Line platforms:

Could any nice subscribers let me know if Japan Between Earth and Sky is on DIsney+ and if 1080p or 4K pretty please?

Thanks a lot.

HD only: www.justwatch.com/uk/tv-series/japan-between-earth-and-sky?

Yeah I got it up on my TV (via Roku) and that weirdly has more detail than the Disney+ browser version, and shows it as HD only, and indeed watching it, it sure looks like 1080p not 4K. Sucks, sorry.

Yeah, I'll still watch it but is mental to film stuff in 4k, brag about it and not broadcast in it when there is no reason whatsoever not to.

Where is it broadcast in 4k though? it's a Nat Geo series, which they own.

I know but did a 3rd party make it for them? It’s literally the only reason I could think possible. Same with Avatar.

It won’t be because they can’t be arsed as most are available to buy in 4k so it is just uploading a different file once.

Yet another re-release incoming when Avatar 2 hits cinemas then.
