First three episodes of "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" on Netflix. It's funny, but a bit sappy at times.

My friend had the world premiere of his necrophilia film yesterday at SXSW. He tells me that a girl vomited during the screening.  :lol: :sleep:

How did the rest of the audience receive it (the movie, not the puking)?

So me and the wife watched the first episode of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt kind of on a whim Saturday night.

They we watched the next nine episodes, and the last three last night.

Great show. Really, really well done. Quirky, fresh, a little bit bizarre at times, but it works.

I posted about it a page or two back.

It really is good.  I still have the last three episodes to go - might have to wait till Tuesday night though.

And the theme song is still caught in my head.

On episode 6 now and really enjoying it. Also, Ellie Kemper. :wub:

[spoiler]3 known characters, all still alive right now- that's way ahead of the curve. Course, two of them were introduced this season. /shrug [/spoiler]

Suite Francaise

I haven't read the book, so I can't compare, but I think the film really worked. There wasn't anything that was particularly unexpected in the narrative*, but then I don't think that is expected or even needed in a movie about a German occupied town in WWII.

My only critique would be whether or not the narration was needed. It wasn't overbearing by any means, but I wonder if the film would have study just as strong if those parts had just been left to rely on the visual image.

I am, of course, now suitably depressed and need to find something vapid and shallow to boost my spirits. -_- :Embarrass:

*though previews were a bit misleading, I think, as the focused almost exclusively on the romance plot.
