Thanks, flash.

Watching May 9th "victory day" celebration in Russia. 2/5, WION streaming off Youtube. And maybe that's high.

But interesting to see live shots of Putain*. What came to my mind was the song, "It takes a worried man to sing a worried song" Their head honcho doesn't look too comfortable even with countless body guards surrounding him.
Oh, great, now they (not Putin!) are goose stepping by.

* My French version of that s.o.b.

Beef

Absolutely a 5/5

Highly recommend

We finished Beef. That was really good for a series that I never hear anyone talk about. I hope they do another season.

Netflix 5/5... The premise is that two Asian Americans get into a bought of road rage, which just keeps festering, till they are assaulting each other, trying to tear down each other's businesses, and then it leads to... you'll just have to watch. Very good writing.

Samurai Jack, a little Genndy Tartakovsky binge while working. Dexter's Lab, 2 Stupid Dogs and Primal also favorites of his. I believe i recall, without bothering to google it, his father was a dentist to many of the ranking Communists leaders of Russia and he was at least for a time the dentist for the Russian Hockey team in their glory years.

Mr Inbetween, 5 of 5

Two 5 for 5 recommendations:

Kin - Season 2 - Irish version of the Soprano's - just wrapped Season 2, a barn-burner. Very well written and acted, great soundtrack

Fear - Season 2
Just started. Very well written, very tense, not a lot of gore horror, but definitely scary and creepy. A better version of "Lost", so far.

"AIR" just dropped on Amazon Prime so I watched it.

It tells the story of how Nike went from also rans in the basketball sneaker business to world domination by signing Michael Jordan. I don't follow basketball but I do know about Jordan and the sneakers.

It's got a stacked cast including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Viola Davis, Chris Tucker, Marlon Wayans and Chris Messina. The soundtrack is pretty cool, as well. The film opens with Dire Straits Money For Nothing and the rest of the movie is filled with 1980's classics.

I really enjoyed it.

4/5

I concur - really good movie. Didn’t know the history, which is fascinating. Loved the soundtrack. 4/5

Watching Longmire, starting from the first season, and am enjoying it very much. 4/5

 

[NightSkyFlash]

Watched Prisoners with Hugh Jackman on Netflix. Guess I watched it 10 years ago but didn’t remember much. Not bad. Jackman is good as always. 3/5.

One of the best movies I've seen in recent memory- 5.
Also far better than anything Tarrantino has done in the past decade.

Just finished up watching 1883 on Paramount+. This was one of the best shows I've seen in some time, even teared up at the end. The character Elsa (and actress) was amazing.
5/5

Sullivan's Travels, this 1941 Comedy/Romance had me laughing out loud. 5/5

 

[jpmcwjr]

Does it pull or pan from Gulliver's Travels?

Reminds me of a favorite little known movie, "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?", 5/5. A passing knowledge of Homer's Odyssey is very helpful
Unfortunately right now it's rental only from many streaming servers.

I've never read Gulliver's Travels, but from what I gather...the title is just a nod to the novel.

"Dirty Harry" for probably the 19th time. 4.5 out of 5. It was made shortly before I moved to San Francisco in the '70's and brings back memories of my younger days.
