Sonic.

It's for very young children, obviously.  The kids said they liked it, but I didn't hear that many laughs.  I think I fell asleep at some point.  So, 7 and below, ok.  Adults, bring headphones and listen to music.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Speaking of olde times shit, anyone know how much naughty stuff there is in Thieves of the Wood?

Not much...and what little there is is more depressing than titillating.

Thanks. You're a timesaver!

New season of Outlander last night. I have it recorded to watch later today. A good show, a favorite. Also recorded the last episode of Breaking Bad, another huge favorite with me. I've seen that all the way through about three times. This time around didn't want to watch it all, just the last awesome episode.

I'm still holding out for the photo-realist Thundercats reboot :o

After the reception of Cats, you might be waiting a while.

There's always Silver Hawks or Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.  Maybe even M.A.S.K.  :P

We need the Visionaries reboot!

Creep 2. Talentless YouTuber answers ad for one day's shooting. Short and sweet, and it kept my interest. Not important cinema, but it has its qualities.

It's not a bad show in its own...but counterpart to the protagonist started out as a far more compelling character...but his conclusion turned out to be to rather unsatisfying...and feeling forced.

I was going to throw that out there and then thought, "Nah, no one else remembers them."  I should have known Languish would hold someone who did.  Hahaha

Reading a book about the Hong Kong film industry I've come to a realisation.
In entertainment we are now a post scarcity civilization.
When I was a kid I would eagerly seek out any shred of anime or Asian cinema. Videos and dvds were rare and precious things. Now any film I want I can get pretty quickly, whether through legal/illegal digital means or amazon.
Then you've stuff like YouTube and Netflix allowing you to watch any time.... It's really quite amazing to think how massively different the land scape is to when I was a kid and I'd purposefully avoid activities on Monday nights as that's when stargate or star trek would be on.
The media is showing the way civilization in general is going?

Been watching the first couple episodes of Deutschland 83 (excellent so far).

The title song is of course New Order's Blue Monday.

Only just realized that NO's singer Bernard Sumner and the main character in the show have more than just a passing similarity ...

Paisan (1946)

The second of Roberto Rossellini "War Trilogy," this deals with the Americans liberating various Italian cities and the interaction between soldiers and civilians.  The story is told as a series of six vignettes; none of them are related in terms of character (although they all have the thematic element of Americans and Italians not sharing a common language.)  I'm not a big fan of this sort of movie; but this is one of the better ones.  Most of the stories are downers, but Rossellini does manage to inject some humor into them; (Federico Fellini is both a writer and assistant director; but I think Rossellini has more of a sense of humor than I had given him credit for.)  The most clever scene is one with Maria Michi who wears the same sort of fur coat she "Earned" in "Rome, Open City" (though she's clearly a different character in this one.)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I remember watching S3 of Narcos and thinking it was a bit weird that Salcedo sounded like a Swede. Later I suspected that the actor was a Swede but only today I knew for sure. Nice to know I'm not insane. :)
