Watched that a few weeks back, very good! Shame how the discussion about his weight and sexuality over took the praise for his talent. Seemed like a lovely guy

Yeah he came across as one of the good ones, elegant, charming, hard working, gentle, thoughtful, grounded, loyal…an old fashioned gentleman, not many of them about these days.
He was obviously very self conscious and vulnerable about his weight , even though he could be self-deprecating about it, and the media, of course, made it worse.
The sexuality thing made me sad for him, he was right that it was no one’s business but his own but I hope he didn’t die feeling lonely and unfulfilled just because he was too concerned with how it would affect other people.

We watched Deliverance for the first time in years last night. A mate had never seen it. I think he wishes we had chosen something else.

Im watching a lot of National Theatre Live recordings that they started doing during lockdown. Not all of them to my taste, but all with a unique look and vision and expression. Compared to the weird, smooth unengaging stuff that im scrolling across on my Netflix and Amazon. I know that these are supposed to not to have any impact on you, so you just keep watching but man it feels like watching, and being in, The Stepford Wives, at the same time.

Just started a subscription so we could watch Prima Facie again. Looking forward to delving in to the rest. Always top quality and I recon 2-3 months should be enough, then unsubscribe for a bit and do it again in about a years time

If not seen already, watch Yerma on National Theatre Live - Billie Piper was astonishingly good.

If you can catch it somewhere, I recommend The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing. It’s a short film that was nominated (but didn’t win) at the BAFTAS).

It was showing on the Sundance website, but seems to have taken down now.

Interesting! My partner hated it, but I quite liked it. I had no idea it was a thing though.

The new theme is more akin to a theme song made by Sunju Hargun or Komodo Kolektif, definitely in keeping with the new setting.

finally watched the venture brothers movie. it’s delightful. the rob base “it takes two” scene had me dying.

for my money, the venture brothers is the best animated series of all time. the characters, the world building, the voices, the art - shit, the theme song (jim thirlwell!). it’s well worth investing some time with.

Vietnam. The War That Changed America on Apple TV

Really good 6 part documentary with a lot of amazing footage. Good interviews with survivors, soliders and civilians and looks at how it changed the psyche of the American people

New season of Will Trent is going strong for those that like inoffensive, slightly quirky serials.

We started watching Severance last night. My wife who swears extremely rarely said it was a ‘head fuck’ :joy:
