It's all good, man
Just finished season 4. It's really very good.

Fear City, a three part documentary on the Mafia in New York was good.

Don't call us,we'll call you.
Good documentary but a bit disillusioned with the mafia bosses.
They were all scruffy pensioners with potty mouths types, and in no way had the charisma and gravitas of Brando, Deniro and Pacino et al.
Will never be able to watch the Godfather in the same light again.

Watch Donny Brasco and it shows this shoddy desperate world with a bit more authenticity
Artaxerxes
Look out, he's got a gnu!
Compare to Goodfellas which is set in the 70s and it sounds much closer.

Paddleton. 2019 indie type of road trip with Ray Romano and Mark Duplass. Small but moving drama about friendship. Romano, in particular, is excellent.
Enjoyed the couple of episodes I watched. Did not feel like a 'decent documentary' iykwim? Still interesting mind.

About to start S2 of The Umbrella Academy. Played the first few seconds of the episode and it didn’t seem to offer a S1 recap, so putting on the last 10 minutes of S1’s finale first.
That’s a pet hate of mine actually. So many series stick on a recap at the beginning of every episode of the same season, which in the era of binge watching is completely unnecessary. But almost no fucker will put a season recap on the first episode of the a season, when it would be the most useful.

I don’t mind recaps per se, especially since on all streaming services you’re immediately given the choice to press a button and skip it. But I swear there are far fewer ‘last season’ recaps available than ‘’last episode’ ones.
I don’t miss them for highly immersive, slow pace masterpieces like The Sopranos or Breaking Bad, because even I with my shit memory fully recall how matters were left at. But for high paced, twist-a-minute action or sci fi jobs, in particular the latter whereby there’s plenty of confusing weird shit going on, they become far more important.

Ghibli Studio update. I’ve just discovered and watched Pom Poko. Fantastically entertaining. As with all other Ghibli productions you can expect an imaginative, original story. But I particularly loved the fact that this is a surprisingly comedic film, and at times slapstick comedy at that, and far more light-relief laden than any other film of the genre I’ve come across.
There are also dramatic events including hardship and death so this is by no means a comedy, but still very lighthearted, and at times laugh-out-loud funny. Great weekend afternoon flick.

A dark, nasty, violent tale of revenge set in colonial Tasmania. It is brutal and upsetting but I thought it was very good indeed.
Tasmania itself, of course, is captivatingly beautiful.

that's odd, had a recap when I watched it. I've ended my subscription to netflix now though so I can't go and have another look, maybe there's a pre-credits opening scene and the recap is after the credits or something.

It wasn't a trailer, it was a recap of season one at the start of season two.

Well season 2 is a vast improvement anyway. More entertaining than season 1, more emotional clout and it isn't shot in perpetual gloom.
The lack of a recap was annoying but the episodes do feature well-placed flashbacks to key plot points you might have forgotten.

I quite enjoyed The Willoughbys
The trailer made it look well shit so I avoided it for a while, but it's actually quite good. Trailer doesn't really explain the real mood or story of the film at all.

I'm also enjoying the fun of vpn switching which had allowed me to watch Christopher Robin, which was jolly good fun, apart from the shonky daft wrap up at the end. Loved the look and sound of Pooh. "People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day".
Oh and Shazam is ok. Joker is already on Japanese Netflix as well. I wonder why they get it first.

I was a bit at sea with the first episodes as I couldn’t remember some of the subplots and even one or two of the characters. It could also be said there was perhaps a bit too little action. But I really got into it from ep 4, and it’s been getting more gripping. Stopped last night at the end of ep 7, which was the best yet for me.
I'm assuming this is about Dark, AnnO'Neemus , if so - yes there is.

Sometimes just get lucky like that. We get Peaky Blinders relatively fast. No Doctor Who, though.

Maybe another channel already has a Dr Who deal. Like we don't get parks and rec, because prime has it, because another channel had it before that and prime got in before netflx on re-negotiation. Japan gets adventure time season 5 and 6 and the US 1 and 2, the UK has a Cartoon Network deal with Now TV so we get nothing.Sometimes just get lucky like that. We get Peaky Blinders relatively fast.

I did notice in general that western films that had a fairly wide Japanese release always seemed to come out on DVD first, and were far cheaper than usual home grown Japanese DVDs.
