Top Secret! is indeed a classic.  Better Germans than Last Crusade, that's for sure.



Love that movie. The German dubbing had the difficult task to preserve the language barriers; they did it by giving the baddies extreme Saxonian (almost unintelligible) accents (Saxony was GDR).

Decent attempt at dubbing (it was more of an art in the 60s-80s and might create totally different movies at times or occasionally even improve them), but still much better undubbed.

And many of the sight gags are just brilliant.

Great show wrap up by Mahar on the NYPD and police in general. Bravo.

From a classic movie:

Actually, these kind of props do exist; it's not rare to use oversized props in the foreground to exaggerate the perspective while keeping them in focus :nerd:

Love that film; one of the (many) bits that get me is when he has that dream that he's in school and wakes up - relieved - to see he's just being tortured instead.

Watched The Legend of Bagger Vance.  Again.  I know it's filled with all kinds of silly tropes, but I enjoy the heck out of it.  It's a beautiful movie.

Sherlock - A Scandal in Belgravia. After the weaker "Blind Banker" and "Great Game" this was rather excellent (even though the end was a bit  :rolleyes: ). Hilarious, charming, awkward, and bittersweet, though the characters and not the mystery took center stage.

I have a T shirt with the French resistance from Top Secret.  :nerd:

Btw, the actor that plays Carson in Downton Abbey plays Deja Vu, one of the Resistance leaders.

Binge-watched all of Transparent.

It kept me interested enough to binge watch it. But I don't know if I actually liked it.

Rewatched Geronimo last night.  Still holds up.  All scenes work except the two ambush montages.  Maybe the best horsemanship I've ever seen in a movie.

Watching some Paris porn.  :frog:

By which I mean a Franco-American tv series called 'Jo' staring Jean Reno and lots of English actors with appallingly bad American accents.

Somewhat poignant given the events of the last couple of days, lots of nice scenes in famous Parisian locations.

OK production values, but a somewhat poor man's CSI set in Paris.

Rather formulaic, the first scene has a murder/more specifically a body found at a famous Parisian site, so far we've had on the Eiffel tower, by the Egyptian obelisk, in front of Notre Dame's doors and on the grass in front of Napoleons tomb. It then gets solved at breakneck speed by the detectives, all the while as 'Jo' back story is told and his person life with his estranged daughter develops. That's actually the most interesting part of the series, I don't know why the didn't just drop the murder mystery crap and largely concentrate on the cops life.
