take me to the feeling
Just started watching Bee and Puppycat with my daughter, it's great. The animation is gorgeous and the action is deeply, enjoyably silly.

Old enough which I think is called first errands in Japan and/or the US. Young children filmed going on their first errand. Very cute.
Mr Sunshine. Korean period drama with sumptuous cinematography and never-ending sexual tension. Just get it on already, Bruce and Cybil.

Did you ever watch the original. I think it was always completely free on channel frederator (You Tube etc). Very similar. It's almost like watching it again in another dimension or after a mandella effect. It will be interesting to see how far it deviates.
Some bits are better, some worse, but it's still the same very gentle slow/low energy show.
EDIT. It's still up on cartoon hangover you tube. . . .
Pilot / start (obviously slightly rough)
Full original series (very similar in style to the Netflix one)

I downloaded the first 3 episodes of this on your rec and watched them on the plane back from holiday yesterday. I found it really slow, and Hagen is one dreary fuck of a protagonist. I’d probably have binned it had I not been stuck on a plane but now I’ve watched half I’ll finish it. Does it pick-up a bit?

I’m really enjoying Narco Saints, which surprised me because I often don’t get on with Korean stuff. They have a way of making tv and films which I find a bit whacky/zany, which isn’t my taste, but this is brilliant.
The true story of a Korean entrepreneur who became a cocaine dealer by accident. Absolutely bonkers and very entertaining.

Yeah, I’ll likely finish it tomorrow to escape the whole Liz’s funeral thing.
It’s based on actual events and I want to find out who did it. Usually if I lose interest in shows like that I just Google the case to skip to the end bit, but this has stayed just on the right side of me having to do that.
Yes that's kind of where I am at too.
Just want to get to the end.
Its only 5 episodes so it wont take long.
Then I'm on to Cobra Kai the new series.

I finished this today.
Total shite with a complete non-ending.
Save yourself a couple of hours of boredom (look at the IMDB reviews with spoilers) and move on to Cobra Kai now.

I finished it today too.
I guess the fact its a true story meant that they had to stick to the real ending...
On to Cobra Kai s5..

I thought it was going to be awful, as most films featuring American overprivileged teenagers promise to be, but Do Revenge is actually rather watchable and entertaining as a Sunday afternoon flick.
As the title suggests it’s about revenge, planned by two high school girls who’ve been shamed and demonised by some of their peers for no fault of their own. It is heavily based in Strangers on a Train, but there’s more to the story than that.
Good performance by the main two leads, in particular Maya Hawke, the spitting image of mum Uma Thurman.
6.5/ 10 and certainly a good mindless entertainment weekend film. Lots of swearing including C-words so not for younger ones.

'Eat the rich', Documentary series about the Game stop share business. It's pretty fascinating if you like that sort of thing.

Tour du Faso. Documentary about Burkina Faso's biggest cycling event.
It'll be of most interest to cycling fans.
That German rider is a complete prick.

Well I'm enjoying the Jeffrey Dahmer thing even if nobody else is mentioning it!
I'm a sucker for true crime, serial murderers in particular. And I love Evan Peters so....it couldn't be more up my alley.

Anyone watched "Blonde" yet? It's long, it's very grim and depressing, with very interesting cinematography... My kind of movie 
A couple of things were jarring
but overall I thought it was a strong fictionalization of her life. There are things in there which no one knows if they happened but it's possible they might have happened. Very disturbing but Marylin was out of control, popping pills and disorientated towards the end of her life and this illustrates very well why that might be. I thought the airplane/audience scenes towards the end were quite outstanding.
edit, I saved review reading for AFTER I watched it, here's one: Blonde review – a hellish vision of Marilyn and her monsters
edit: couldn't watch it all in one sitting though! I split it in 3.

Same here, thoroughly enjoying it. Evan Peters is one of those actors I would happily watch recite the phone book (I feel like we might have had this conversation about him before sometime!)

Call in Sick Tomorrow
Watched 'The Help' earlier, starring Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham. It's about a young lass who gets a job in a care home in Liverpool just as the Covid crisis broke. It's a savage, damning assessment of the tories mismanagement in the early days and I sincerely hope that prick Hancock watched it and hung his head in shame. That said, the story does become a little implausible in the latter third, but it's still worth a watch. It's easy to forget just how frightening it was, particularly at the start of the lockdown - this film took me back there, for better or worse.

Aye, I saw it when it was originally shown on TV and the first bit of it was really good - horrific mind, but very poignant (my OH who used to work in a residential care home prior to Covid could not watch it, too upsetting).
Then it got really silly - should have ended about halfway through as it did go off the rails a bit.

I enjoyed it but would have liked some terror hawks and non puppet stuff, but I guess that would have not been very supermarionation.
Got a Netflix email about that and made a mental note to give it a go once I get through season 2 of FATE the Wynx saga.( yes I know...it's kids stuff and absolute brain twaddle ..

I think it’s trying to be this visually expressionist bit of aureurship, but on top of a plot that’s not quite cohesive.
Add to that the choice to paint a real intelligent person as a continually passive victim when she just wasn’t - which means the audience has precious little light to drive us through the unrelenting darkness.
Kermode says this isn’t really Marilyn, not a biopic. I get that, but I think that’s an ethically compromised starting point. I also think it doesn’t hold up as a defence. No avatar of Marilyn-alike stardom could’ve been as big a star with absolutely no power or agency at any point.
