You're the Worst, pilot.

Funny, I like the young version of Hugh Laurie.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Gotham was netflix and I watched the whole season.  I liked it, but found a certain aspect very disturbing.  The character the Penguin has very similar mannerisms as I do.  Very similar body movements, raspy voice, tendency toward flattery and self deprecation, walks with a limp, carries an umbrella as a cane...
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Are you a psychopath?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Skoonheid (aka Beauty) - 2011

Decided to watch this as it seemed like it was portraying and average middle aged gay man (though deeply closeted). God, I'm sick and tired of gay films being either the shallow depths of nearly empty tidal pools, or as the case with this film, being gay is one of the worst things that can happen to a person. TLDR, middle aged guy beats and rapes a younger acquaintance because society prevents him from coming out. :rolleyes: :thumbsdown:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Nope. Weekend (also 2011) doesn't fall into either of those camps. :)

Secrets of the Soul (1926)

GW Pabst's film about psychoanalysis; this features Werner Krauss as a man who becomes morbidly afraid of blades,and desires to kill his wife.  He has a dream loaded with Freudian symbolism, and he and a psychoanalyst go over it in detail and uncover the root of his obsessions.

This was "Ripped from today's headlines" in a time when psychoanalysis was still in its early phases.  Two of Freud's assistants served as consultants for the film.  It was probably interesting back when it was made when psychoanalysis was a hot topic for the general public.  To me it seemed dull and repetitive.  The funniest part is when Krauss describes a memory of his wife Ruth Weyer when they were both children.  Krauss was 26 years older than Weyer and looks it; it's hardly a believable memory.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Between Mad Max and SW7, will we see a renaissance of practical effects and sets in blockbuster movies (still with plenty CGI, but not for every fricking thing where feasible)?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
