TV/Movies Megathread

[The Brain]

Finished Tiger King. I was entertained. One of the big surprises was [spoiler]the quality of his singing.[/spoiler]

Doing some google research it looks like [spoiler]he didn't sing himself[/spoiler].

That explains [spoiler]it.[/spoiler]

I also tried watching See on Apple +. Good production values, somewhat interesting, but after a while the whole premise of the show just seems so utterly silly. The huge inconsistencies also got to me. Like, why is the main baddy pierced? Why are their clothes coloured? Why, after a few hundred years living blind in tiny communities on the edge of extinction are there still mixed-race villages?

I think we're talking of different shows, unless Alexei Kosygin is revealed to have a Prince Albert in an episode I haven't yet seen.

Sorry about my Swenglish, I meant: I watched See, also on Apple +...

Oh yeah, that show looks utterly ridiculous.

Jojo Rabbit was pretty good
Very Wes Anderson.

Westworld season started last week. I think it's been a couple years between seasons.

Westworld season started last week. I think it's been a couple years between seasons.

It took the writers a couple  years to figure out what happened in the last season.

Hehe, maybe so. It's a pretty cool story line and good characters, but the nature of it brings the story in some unusual directions. [spoiler] Right now the main characters are in the real world, last season they had taken over and destroyed the company control centers of the theme park and escaped it all.  [/spoiler]

Watching Curtiz, black and whiter about the making of Casablanca.

More interesting as an artifact than as a movie.

Made with the cooperation of the Hungarian Film Board.  The star (the director of Casablanca) and several other parts are played by Hungarian speakers.  To answer the inevitable question, it's not a hurray Hungary Orban propaganda movie.

Production values are quite good.  Bergman and Bogie's faces are blurred out, whether because of licensing or artistic choice I don't know.  Interestingly Dooley Wilson (Sam) is shown full focus.  Peter Lorre and Claude Rains never appear on screen.

The film has two major defects.  One is the US government official charged with ensuring the movie is sufficiently patriotic.  He's a terrible actor and his lines are all retarded.  He's a cartoon character.  He's about a third of the movie unfortunately.

The other defect is that Curtiz is shown to be a rude asshole.  So the whole time I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, to be shown how his dickheadnesses relates to this artistic ability, how you can't have one without the other.  The shoe never drops.  There is no upside, he's just an asshole.  His rudeness is another third of the movie.

I find Westworld one of those shows that really taxes your brain, and I wonder...ehh, am I really enjoying it?

Plus like latter seasons of Thrones, they really toned down the nudity.
