I quite liked the Jim and Andy documentary. I'm a Kauffman fan and not so much Carey, but this was interesting.
a welcome break from the shit scariness of Marianne The Wife. It's ok. I kind of wanted to see it in the cinema, finally caught it on Netflix. Something about it just didn't click for me although it passed the time. It was also quite shouty which I struggled with, I thought that took away from it.
I Am Not a Witch is on Netflix. I saw this a couple of years ago, I think on Curzon online when it was out. It is so good. If you like world and indie cinema definitely check this out. It's really good, visually amazing.

We watched Eli the other night. Supernatural horror film. As the genre goes it does its job pretty well if one is in the mood for that kind of film of a Saturday night.
In addition the story takes an unexpected turn, which makes the film more interesting on the whole than your run-of-the-mill flick in that genre.

I watched the one about the lady who designs the kids toys which on the face of things is an excellent philosophy and approach to play. I couldn't get over the fact how she clearly bemoaned the fact that most toys were designed not with play in mind but making money.
Very true especially on her website where you have to buy additional add on packs and the prices are astronomical! $4,000 dollars? Really? Even the smallest home version is $600 dollars....for a toy?
How is that accessible to your average kid? Just bonkers for what is essentially larger scale meccano...anyway.....I digress....

For anyone seeking mindless entertainment I’d recommend Daybreak. Brand new series, probably best described as a post apocalypse zombie comedy. Very tongue-in-cheek and with constant fourth wall breaches a la Deadpool with a dose of Zombieland and Mad Max for good measure. Certainly passes the time.

Managed two episodes, but it's soooo tiresome. I'm out.
Liked the Broderick insertion to highlight the forth wall shit, (bit heavy handed with the registration call). The opening of part two took that waaaay too far though and it is just too slow, too small, too samey, and cheesy.
Crap.

I finished the series last night and while you probably still wouldn’t like it, it changes into quite a different beast as it progresses, so one cannot judge it by the first two episodes alone. Suffice to say that the careless zombie-bashing fun is replaced by an altogether different tone. I really enjoyed it.

I watched The Laundromat last night. Star studded 'comedy' about the Panama Papers affair. It was absolute dog shit. Confusing attempts to explain how money laundering works, Gary Oldman doing a very odd accent and Meryl Streep reprising her role as 'Worlds most overrated actor' from all her previous films. There is a twist chucked in that is obvious, boring and actually completely pointless as it has no bearing on the story at all. We also have to sit through a few minutes of Streep being Streep and getting all political, which she is shit at.
It's only saving grace was that it was only and hour and a half long so it was finished before I managed to get too annoyed by it. Antonio Banderas is ok too.

Watched ‘Lion’ last night. A film based on a book/true story of a little boy getting lost in India then being adopted by Australian couple then seeking birth mum. Really enjoyed it.

Trigger warning for pro-Morrissey propaganda.
Fucking hell, that whole episode is a Morrissey advert.

Finished second season of Mindhunter, I think its one of the most absorbing series I've watched.

Doesn’t appear to be on Netflix, unless I’m doing something wrong? Maybe a regional thing
It is on there, but I didn't realise when I watched it that it had an underscore in the title. Here y'go MrCurry

Thanks, still no-worky - probably a regional restriction as I’m in sweden. I’ll have to investigate whether I can do some proxy magic and make myself appear to be in UK.
