Just caught up. Utterly brilliant last 3 episodes. Some of the political stuff in the last couple has been a bit clumsier than I would have liked but still great.

Loving The Boys. This series much better than the last. Only one thing and it's nothing to do with the series but OH MY DEAR FUCKING CHRIST WHY IS PRIME SUCH A MASSIVE FUCKING BALLACHE TO NAVIGATE? ONE FALSE FUCKING MOVE AND YOU'RE BACK TO THE START AND IT NEVER FUCKING REMEMBERS WHERE YOU ARE AND THE FFWD/REWIND IS EITHER GLACIALLY SLOW OR LIGHTNING FAST AND YOU CAN'T FUCKING SEE IT ANYWAY. FUCK ME, HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO COPY NETFLIX? FUCKSAKE, DRIVES ME UP THE FUCKING WALL.

I wish Prime would have the playback speed option. Sometimes when it's late at night but I want to watch a movie to chill out and relax (and to distract me from thinking about stressful stuff), I watch a movie on Netflix on 1.25 or 1.5 speed, because I don't want to spend 1.5 or two hours watching a movie, want to get through it quicker so I can go to sleep.

You just need this on your phone:I've always been of the opinion that the Netflix interface is marginally better than Prime's, but I would happily give it up for X-Ray on Netflix to stop the constant "Oh, where do I remember them from? Whasser name?"

Just watched the last one. The political stuff kept its ham-fisted tone (forgivable, but also reasonable to expect better with something of this quality, and aside from…

What are we looking at now - 2023 for more?
Maeve surviving, which feels like a tacked on focus-grouped option given the self-sacrificial tone with the associated foreshadowing

I forgot it was 2022 already - meant to say 2024 above.
Good that it’s not too long a wait.

The rewind and fast forward available speeds on Amazon are fucking shit, it has to be said. First one is not much better than x2 and takes too long for most purposes, and the next one takes you 6-8 minutes away before you have had time to to do anything about it.I've always been of the opinion that the Netflix interface is marginally better than Prime's, but I would happily give it up for X-Ray on Netflix to stop the constant "Oh, where do I remember them from?

Yeah, for a show that hardly puts a foot wrong ever, the last two episodes had maybe the bulk of the weak points on reflection.
Still one of the best things on telly, mind.
I like Maeve, but I think they fluffed her arc especially, and I think Noir deserved a better end. And the heart transplant thing was silly. Felt like it was being written while they were deciding whose contract would be renewed. Putting Soldier Boy back on ice wasn’t satisfying either. And Ryan’s foreshadowed arc isn’t doing it for me either.

And God said to Cain Review - The Spaghetti Western Database
www.spaghetti-western.net
And God said to Cain another little gem of an Italian Spaghetti Western I've found.
Intrigued as it has Klaus Kinski in leading role.
And God Said to Cain (1970) - IMDb
And God Said to Cain: Directed by Antonio Margheriti. With Klaus Kinski, Peter Carsten, Marcella Michelangeli, Antonio Cantafora. A man takes his revenge on the family responsible for his wrongful sentence to ten years of hard labor.
www.imdb.com
The review at the top says the dark look of this film influenced Clint Eastwood Unforgiven. I'd also say it might of influenced High Plains Drifter.
Film starts with Klaus on chain gang. He is released and goes back to his town to seek revenge on those who stitched him up. He being an innocent upright man.
The scene in the quarry where the prisoners are breaking rocks says that he is a political prisoner. Reminds me other the other Italian western I reviewed here that there are reference to the Fascist period.
Like the previous film the town is run by strongman and his cowboys.
As in High Plains Drifter there is surreal element to this film. The director also did horror. It could be interpreted that Klaus is the dead coming back to revenge the wrongs done by the corrupt. Those who try to hide how they got to power. The son of the strongman has no inkling of the basis of his families power.
Klaus is well cast as the unkillable avenging angel of death. Great shots at beginning of film as he rides into town. Framed by the sunset he appears to disappear. Coming back to life in the old Indian underground graveyard.
Its almost the return of the repressed seeking vengence for untold wrongs.
The action takes place in a hurricane which makes the whole film even more surreal.
The director purportedly said this is more Sicialian than Western. Mafia and importance of family ties.
I really like these old Italian anti hero Westerns.

Really enjoying this show. Great recommendation.

I do like a silly disaster movie, but Force of Nature isn't so bad that it's good, it's just so bad that it's bad.
Unfortunately, I'm only about halfway through and I have a terrible 'I've started so I'll finish' habit.

I hated it. Was about to warn you off it.
Horses for courses, I guess…
Although there were a few great performances. Cate Blanchett especially.

I’ve got Prime for a month, thanks to Prime Day and Amazon’s never ending optimism that if they just offer me one more free trial, I’ll somehow change my mind and become a regular prime subscriber when I haven’t done that in the past ten years they’ve been plugging it. Well, God loves a tryer I suppose.
So, any good movies not to be missed in my free month? I can’t be getting into series as I doubt I’ll finish them.
