TV/Movies Megathread

RIP Hardy Krüger, age 94.

(snip)

I had no idea that those characters were all played by the same actor.  The man had good innings to make it to 94.

He had a fascinating life. Near the end of the war he was drafted into the SS aged 16. He refused to shoot at an American squad and was sentenced to death, but an officer intervened. He shortly after deserted and hid in Tyrol. The movie Hatari was shot on the estate he had bought in (then) Tanganyika where he lived for a bunch of years. He was working various charitable causes, did extensive traveling for travel documentaries and wrote/published a number of fiction and non-fiction books.

People here will probably also remember him from The Wild Geese where he played the racist South African.

[Admiral Yi]

He probably played the most likeable SS officer ever.

[Josephus]

He probably played the most likeable SS officer ever.

Other than Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS.

[Duque de Bragança]

He probably played the most likeable SS officer ever.

Other than Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS.

I woud not say likeable, but she had two great qualities.

RIP Hardy Krüger anyways. It's weird, I did not think he was that old, yet I was not sure he would be still alive. 

[Syt]

Yeah, I had it wrong, he was 93, not 94 (his birthday is in April).

Titanic. Rich white woman unironically compares first class on the Titanic to being transported on a slave ship. As a final insult she [spoiler]tosses a multi-million dollar diamond into the sea instead of letting Christie's sell it and give the money to Save the Children[/spoiler]. They don't make movies like this anymore.

I loathed this movie.  Fuck it.

Preach it, brother!

The Peacemaker. It's dumb fun, sometimes very dumb. But fun. Cena is oddly likeable.

Gunn's continued effort to bring back 1980s music into fashion is endearing.

[Eddie Teach]

I think most of the songs on the Guardians playlist were from the 70s.

I'm more than halfway through witcher series 2 and have to say I'm disappointed.
Series 1 was great. This feels very... Off. In comparison. What changed between the 2?
The performances feel hollow, which must be the direction. Everything is very clunky and old school pre game of thrones fantasy.
The many changes to the plot are going beyond the incelly "how dare they make triss black rather than a red head with her tits hanging out" into wholesale alterations of fundamental rules of the universe. So many of the changes are unnecessary.

Where I've always liked witcher is in being a small scale fantasy. So many fantasy series get wrapped up with dark lords rising after thousands of years to destroy the planet. In witcher its just a guy rolling into town and helping some peasants with a ogre problem. It has a much better feel. Sure there's bigger plots going on too but they're usually background stuff. Not concerning our characters.
I get the impression with series 2 of witcher is they've decided they don't want to wait around being low key and must rush forward to surpass witcher 3s final acts.

'Munich - Edge of War*'

Meh, passable, though personally I could do without the kitchen sink elements and found two plot points near the end unbelievable. 



* whatever it's called.

Encanto. Wasn't bad.
