Ran Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Also... HBO Max in the US has a chunk of the Criterion Collection? I had no idea. No wonder people have been going on at it having on the best catalogs among the streamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostlydragon Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I finished Cobra Kai season 3 last night and am so glad I'm up to date. Roll on season 4. Next is Better Call Saul season 5 and that's another show I will be up to date on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CityApache Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 @Nictarion How can one know nothing about Picnic at Hanging Rock as of 2021? I thought there was even louder buzz about it among Weir's movies than Dead Poets Society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoodedCrow Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Watched Picnic at hanging rock at a film festival. The atmosphere was interesting. The story was sort of boring. We use it as short form for long seeming, arty movie, not devoid of merit, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took an even darker turn towards the end than I was expecting, too. I thought Sarah was supposed to have committed suicide at first, but I guess it’s implied Mrs. Appleyard killed her?

Martell Spy Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Mortal Kombat! I didn't intend to get it this early, but I guess I'm getting HBO Max in April now. I wanted to see Judas and the Black Messiah anyway. Just been binging Lost on Hulu, which I've already seen, since I can't settle on anything since the Expanse ended. Looking forward to Snowfall season 4 in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 I watched The Mole Agent (original title: El agente topo), a Chilean documentary-drama about an old widower being hired to investigate conditions in a retirement home. It's a bit voyeurisitic and unsettling, in a way, given the fact that there's clearly a fictional conceit and a writing credit for the director while the subjects (a group of old women in various stages of dementia) are probably not really aware of it (they just think the cameras are following Sergio, the "mole", because he's a new arrival at the facility rather than knowing he was "spying"), but fortunately it's very gentle and sweet, and truth be told the retirement home seemed like a nice place. It's on the shortlist for Best International Film and Documentary Feature at the Oscars this year, though I suspect it won't make the final list for either due to its blending of documentary and drama.

Vaughn Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Anyone watch and recommend 'For All Mankind' the Ron Moore Apple TV show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it last year, and probably one of my favourite shows of the past twelve months. It's basically 'what if' the space race didn't end at the moon in the seventies. Episode 1 is pretty dry - a lot of blokes doing sciencey things at mission control, etc. But from episode two they start digging into the characters, then keep on digging over the course of the season until magnificently paying off all that character development in the final couple of episodes. Highly, highly recommended. ETA: Just seen that Season 2 begins tomorrow. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just point to my comment up page: Still recovering from how bad Goro looked in that second I saw him. Who am I kidding though, I'm still going to watch it. I did not learn after making the mistake of watching the 2nd movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
