TV/Movies Megathread

[mongers]

So what's actually on Netflix UK, seems rather hard to find out before signing up? 

Any guidance, note I'm not especially keen on watching new TV series, be those comedy, lifestyle, situational etc.

More interesting in film, perhaps non-blockbusters and the odd documentary.

Definitely see "The Propaganda Game"; new documentary on North Korea, runs at about 1 hour 40 minutes.  Really an eye-opener on how fucking batshit nuts that place is from the inside.

Thanks for that.

Shitloads.  I don't know what that translates to in the UK, though.

Now I hope it does not ruin the western adaptation I'll watch tonight. But I don't think so, as I love westerns and cowboys speak English .

Did not ruin it at all, on the contrary, made me appreciate the adaptation of the Seven Samurai story while still a great western in itself. Definitely a classic of the genre, and what a fucking cast.

And the 2016 version is a fun more lighthearted version with many more horses, shooting and even some explosions. Good? Maybe,  but not magnificent.

Does Netflix uk not have a trial month?

So, I went on and fired up old Arrested Development episodes tonight, and I had a real shock when I realized that Lucille is Mallory Archer.

Watched the tail end of Wild Things, a Spanish anthology film.  Last vignette was about a wedding that blows up because of discovery of cheating.

Two questions for the Spaniards: is the custom of eating pastrami at a wedding reception a real thing?  Why pastrami?  Bad translation of ham?

Is carrying the bride and groom around chairs a Spanish thing or does it mean the bride and groom are Jewish?

It's an Argentinian film, you know... Do all Spanish speakers look the same to you, huh? 

[CountDeMoney]

Send all these Mexicans back to Argentina!

Not at all.  There are the white ones and there are the brown ones.

You mean Jessica Walter is both?

Anyway, surprised you didn't already know that.

Well, there's been almost 10 years in between me watching both shows, so I never made the connection back to AD when I started watching Archer.

Now it seems obvious to me that they wrote Mallory with Lucille in mind.

My son asked me if Jar Jar Binks was retarded.

And did you tell him we don't use that term anymore?
