Movie/tv download recommendations

I downloaded a bunch of his docs from tpb last night, 'The Adam Curtis Collection', and having no idea where he's going seems to be quite common.

He seems to have been influenced by music sampling.

I've only had a brief look so far, though.


It's a lot of material.

Watching "All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace " series now and it's very interesting and again great old footage .

Here's a clip

Finished 'Wandavision'.

It's very cleverly done and really quite good.

Skyrojo (Netflix, TV, Spanish)

Some hookers in a brothel kill their boss and go on the lam.

Dark and mildly amusing.

6/10

Due to several recommendations, I had Seaspiracy planned for this evening in my quarters. However, I looked it up on IMDB first and then I was averted to Cowspiracy, which seems to be more about how cow farts are causing climate change. Maybe I'll watch Seaspiracy tomorrow evening.

Christ what happens if it turns out the cow farts are killing the fish?

'Justice League: The Synder Cut'

Very long (4hrs) but worth it I reckon.

The bastard of it being now knowing what the vision was supposed to be, what we could've got, and reconciling that with the Joss Whedon hatchet job we did get which ended the DCEU

[cyrille]

Any chance of a clue regarding wtf you're talking about?

Edit: Oh...Marvel stuff. Thought it might be something to do with NZ rugby.

*Ahem!* Bite your tongue... DC!

You know, the other other other comic book / film maker.

Also I sometimes tend to forget that not everyone else has teen boys and is forced to be conversant in this stuff (really did enjoy the filum though).

^ wearing your underpants on the outside will not make you cool

I tried and it didn't work and my y fronts were ridiculed

Oldie Goldie. Just watched the always great Donald Sutherland in "Eye Of The Needle". WW2 spy thriller. Excellent.

Time for Klute next then.

You can do a lot worse than watch a Donald Sutherland season, for sure.

Cowspiracy. It did cover cow farts but it wasn't the main gripe about the cows. We learned the facts at the start which were quite interesting and a bit gobsmacking, and the rest was about getting the point across.

I could tell you all about it in a couple of paragraphs and save you the bother tbh.

Some of the reactions from the charities are pretty good though. Greenpeace for example refused an interview, as they cant cash in on slaughtering cows to save the Amazon.

On reflection, it's worth a watch.

Godzilla vs Kong.

Family fun.

Just a moment...

Chaos Walking (2021)

A bunch of blokes live on a "settler" planet and they can "hear" each others thoughts. Then a woman arrives and they can't hear hers.

Much mayhem ensues.

Passable 6/10.

Weird backstory to that one, was made years ago and not released.

[Slick]

“The Serpent” on Netflix is good. About that serial killer Charles Sobhraj from the 70’s in Bangkok. Done pretty well with the time period stuff and actual thai language speakers.

Didn't test well so they had to reshoot a lot of it, and the lead actress was busy with Star Wars so it had to wait.

It's not over exciting but it has its moments.

*** SPOILER ***
































However, they committed the cardinal Hollywood sin of killing a pet dog.

Tahar Rahim, who plays the role of Charles Sobhraj in The Serpent, is also excellent in his roles for The Prophet (2009), The Past (2013) and the Mauritanian (2021), where he was nominated for Golden Globe and BAFTA Best Actor awards.

"Men Of Honor". (IMDB 7.2 (2000). De Niro and Cuba Gooding. Tale of the first black US Navy diver, and the man who trained him. Excellent movie.

De Niro

This should be good...

Killers of the Flower Moon is the next film from director Martin Scorsese. Based on the 2017 non-fiction book of the same name, the cast of the upcoming thriller has been slowly coming together. Robert DeNiro, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jesse Plemons have been signed on to star in the Apple Original film, among others. Today, two names from the music world are joining the cast: Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson will play the roles of Bill Smith and Henry Grammar respectively, as Deadline reports. Also joining the cast are First Nations actor William Belleau and Louis Cancelmi.

What about fish farts?

[dirk diggler]

It’s only a bubble...

[deeks]

Just curious, how many of you guys have seen Cape Fear (1991) is the one with Robert De Niro, Well the one in 1962 with Robert Mitchum is even more of a suspense genre because of the ratings back then, sadly is only in black and white that i could find. both movies are worth the time for those that enjoy intrigue and ruthlessness in movies.

[Davis Knowlton]

^Interesting. Never knew the earlier version existed. Should be a good watch, as the DeNiro remake was quite disturbing as I recall. Thanks.
