TV/Movies Megathread

In The Heat of the Night is free on Youtube with ads, if anyone still needs to punch their Sydney Poitier commemoration ticket.

Spanish/Catalan dubs used to be of top quality. I grew thinking Arnold Schwarzenegger was a good actor because of his Spanish dub 

The first two Rocky give me trouble in their original version.  Had to switch to French.  I am unsure if I watched Commando in its original version...  I am 100% positive I have never see Predator other than in French.

There are always subtitles.

We can't get used to it.  It's cultural.

How American of you.

I don't mind subtitles. They are almost always much  preferable to dubbing, IMO.

Oh, absolutely. There's just some nostalgia aspect to watching childhood films dubbed.

Do you watch non-english made series on Netflix? Do you also include subtitles even tho they don't fit?

Not a lot, but some.

Dark for example, and that show about the Korean drug runner.

I watched one Korean show and now Netflix won't stop recommending more

Finished Season 3 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I enjoyed Seasons 1 & 2, but they felt a tad meandering, and a bit repetitive in their structure/escalation of events. Season 3 IMHO was a marked improvement, helped by putting a central recurring "main plot" in there with the restaurant, which added a focus point to hang several plots and jokes on.

The Crown.

Find myself more furious than ever at this show's small-c conservatism

I wanna know why they are spending so many episodes covering side characters.

Actually I really liked the al Fayed episodes.

But could do with less Margaret - even though I love Lesley Manville.

I haven't finished yet, but I'm not sure what the show makers want me to feel about Diana (if anything). I think I saw 5 episodes and her constant whining about how awful the family has treated her just makes her seem like a spoiled brat. Am I supposed to feel sympathy here?

With Diana - I'm not convinced it's a particularly good performance

It feels more impersonation-y than I think Emma Corrin did or, say, Kristen Stewart (both incredible in my view). It's probably also a problem/more challenging role for the sheer amount of Diana content in recent years.

Edit: And I think Stewart and Corrin were great precisely because of what you say - they were able to be at once slightly insufferable and vulnerable all at once.

So. I've been... not in the right headspace to watch movies or shows for basically all of this year. What are the top show and movie I should make sure to get to as a priority? I'm leaning toward Andor over HotD and RoP and maybe... Everything, Everywhere, All at Once for movie? I'm open to suggestions on both though!
