The Sandman

Ironically in the first episode when he managed to escape his cage, he successfully managed to send me to sleep. One episode was enough for me.

5/10

Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened (Netflix)

Always fun to see rich kids experience self induced hardships

7/10

So...anyone played it

I see it's getting mixed reviews

I cancelled my order. It was taking way too long and I figured I did not need it for the time being....

Missing (1982) A very interesting film about a father and a wife team searching for a son/husband who "disappeared" during the Pinochet clamp down in Chile on anyone who did not conform. Its directed very well and the acting is great. A real eye opener on how the CIA backed the dictator to the exte...

Think we're going to give Severance a go next.

yes do!

loved Gomorrah. Every season was slightly worse than the one preceeding it but even series 5 was excellent. Like all shows it became deritive. It should have ended at 4.

brilliant. Never seen the film and I don't have to now but a good editor is more valuable than a good director. I can see how this film could have been amazing but was let down by the director's lack of original thinking

Panic in Needle Street (1971) This is a gritty film about how a couple of druggies begin to see their life fall apart. Pacino's second film and you can see the makings of Michael Corleone.

I am continually impressed by how amateur film documentary makers are producing such original and interesting videos, so I thought we should have conservation dedicated to them. This one is really interesting. It explores an aspect about the music from the Shining and what a genuis Gordon Stainforth...

Hollywood really is in a pickle. Its so sad that I am looking back to the 70s for good films. What a testament of how an industry has lost its way.

As I said having a diverse set of races in LOTR does not bother me.

Having a diverse set of characters in historic settings does.

As a non-white person even I am getting a tad fed up with juxopositing black people in cold environments which would not be compatiable with their skin tone unless they travalled there. For LOTR I don't care as its all bollocks anyway but adding black people to historic settings that was predominate...

The Offer (Paramount+, watched on the high seas ;) ) I really enjoyed this. It is about the making of The Godfather. Some liberties with history are taken (only a few) but overall they got the main beats correct. I listened to Coppela's directors commentary for The Godfather and most of the interes...
