TV/Movies Megathread

The title just irks me. I can't help but think of Manchester Manchester.
Saltburn is similar. But at least it doesn't include a geographically incorrect descriptor.

omg shut the fuck up

Manchester by the Sea is my favorite movie of 2016. Hard to rewatch, but I force myself to do so.

Tamas, I guess you haven't seen The Brutalist? I was wondering how good/fake the Hungarian language scenes felt to you, given that AI was used to improve the actors performances.

No I haven't seen it yet.

Flow. Fucking beautiful.

I watched Crossing Delancey (1988), which is a fine, if unsurprising rom-com; (a young woman must choose between the high-flying literati, who are mostly indifferent to her or a decent man who runs a pickle shop who cares for her.  Will she be star struck or follow the course of true love?)  It does have a young David Hyde Pierce in small role (he was only David Pierce in those days.)  I thought that was neat.  People must look at him and think "Musician" since he's a cellist in this film (he did actually study piano at Yale for a time.)

Nearly finished series 2 of Pachinko.
'tis a good show.
The credits are lovely too.

'The Little Drummer Girl'

New to me, leaving aside the Israel-Palestine conflict, it's an excellent drama, well made and superbly acted.

Though I now regret not having read the Le Carre novel.   

[Duque de Bragança]

Havn't watched that one in a while. I remember feeling disappointed since I had read the novel before.
Time for a reassessment, perhaps.

Oh Duque, I should have said it was the six part 2018 BBC TV series, not the older film, which I've not seen.

Yes, given your implied recommendation, I'll certainly read the novel.

there's still time. Unless you're not telling us something.

All right. Forget what I said then. Did not know about that series.
Just discovered there are two Survivors post-apocalyptic series. Almost ended up getting the 2008 remake by mistake.

I suppose the original one is still the reference:

Yes, I'd say the original is better, it can be quite variable given the large number of episodes, directors and themes covered, and of course it's of it's time, but definitely worth a viewing.

IIRC Doctor Who's Terry Nation wrote quite a lot of the early series.

I finished cassandra.
German Sci fi. Funny retro 70s robots. Seems to be going somewhere but... No Stupid ending.

What? Unification, sporting glory, economic heyday, VW fiddled emissions, political complacency, internal dissent and eventual breakup into hostile regional states?
