Finished the Tiger King documentary. There's not a sane character in the whole thing which provides occasional entertainment but it's not as good as some of the other real crime Netflix shows.
I watched it... Batshit crazy the lot of them. But they get in cages with tigers. Of course they're Batshit crazy.

Youwhat? It's like a coronavirus of fucknuttery in terms of the exponential growth of lunatic schemes and Shakespearean villains episode-on-episode.

I just wasn't that satisfied with the ending. Maybe there'll be a second series where the woman who (allegedly) killed her husband gets her comeuppance.
 
Re-watching House of Cards at the moment, as it’s been a couple of years since last time. They actually removed Kevin Spacey’s Name from the cast list which displays when you browse the title in Netflix!
 
It will probably happen at some point in the future. Not shrek, but the face of another popular actor airbrushed over him. Clearly they decided it was too impractical to refilm the whole thing, but with the way technology advances there will doubtless come a day when it’s not insurmountable to cut him out of it. I wonder what other titles will be similarly digitally airbrushed one day?
 
We've checked the first few episodes of Freud. It seems to be a bit Marmite reviews-wise, but we've been enjoying it. Some people are clearly not liking the concept of historical drama mixed up with supernatural fiction but I have no beef with that. It is not great by any means but it has its moments. So long as you don't expect anything very clever or engaging, it certainly entertains IMO.

In the future nobody will care about House of Cards or about Kevin Spacey.
 
Dunno about that , Usual Suspects is one of my fave films and a cult classic . I also liked him in LA Confidential
Those films aren’t all about Kevin Spacey, they are ensemble dramas. While he’s unlikely to make a comeback any time soon, the scandal will fade, especially as for now there are no more criminal proceedings against him (which is not to say that he wasn’t guilty). I also doubt House if Games will be remembered as one of the all time great tv series. So nobody will bother to digitally replace him in the future.

The reason why his scenes got reshot with Christopher Plummer in the Ridley Scott movie was because that was at the hight of when the scandal broke.

Can't imagine The Usual Suspects without Spacey tbh , ensemble drama or not.

I'm not sure you got the point of what I said. :confused:

When Is said nobody will care about Kevin Spacey, it wasn't his talents as an actor I was talking about but that he's currently out of favour due to allegations of sexual harassment. He now is entirely defined by that and his career is over. However, I was arguing against that he would be digitally replaced because of that, not that his contributions to the films he was in were of no importance.

But also, films are not just about one actor, especially when that one actor is part of an ensemble. He was always was best in the films where he wasn't the sole centre of a film. I never liked him in the films which were vehicles for him.

Brooklyn 99 season 6 is now up on netflix.

If you've not seen it, it's a good, mainstream nice comedy, from Michael Shur (The Office US,, Parks and Rec, Good Place). Ideal kind of thing to watch when you just want to switch off.
 
New Ozark season starts tomorrow.
and very good it was. One of the things I like about this series is the underlying and almost permanent competiveness between most of the characters particularly Marty and Wendy which occasionaly and briefy comes to almost a silent and uneasy acknowledgement of agreement .The management of mistrust.
 
Reno !!!!

Just found a new fashion knock out competition on Amazon Prime - do you have that?

Making the Cut
Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn

Only 2 episodes there today and no idea whether it will be any good yet but its mere existence has brightened my day already :)

(Oops wrong thread but....whatever)

I read about it. Report back once you’ve watched it, early reports I’ve read haven’t been too enthusiastic. It sounds like a fairly close copy of Project Runway, only the fact that the resulting outfits have to be more commercial, so they can be sold on Amazon. That makes the designs rather boring.

It's dreadful....let us never speak of it again
