TV/Movies Megathread

[Razgovory]

Apparently, he was felled by a pizzagate believer.

Oh, it was the rapist!

[The Brain]

Sendero. Friends on a road trip get accosted by reclusive rural family with an ultraviolent bent. And who is the [spoiler]Pimpfather[/spoiler] that even the crazies fear? As the genre goes not horrible. Notes: the movie is in Foreign. The main chick is hot. [spoiler]There is no lesbian sex. There is some rough man-on-man action, but not the constellation you'd think![/spoiler]

I enjoyed the first one more than I expected, so looking forward to this.

Battle of the Sexes.  Billy Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs.  Good eye candy and lovely lesbian sex.

Didn't know Riggs had won the US Open.

I've just watched the first two episodes of "Who is America?".
It's very hit and miss. But when it hits my god is it wonderful.

Is she still working?

Lone Star. Life and death on the border, and how people's actions echo down the years. I love it, I've seen it before years ago and it's such a great movie. [spoiler]Note: there is no lesbian sex.[/spoiler]

yeah, watched the first episode. So-so...Could only stomach a few minutes of Baron Cohen before he wears thin.
The menstrual humour was terrible.

Yes. That bit was just crap. The humour was all in him mocking the whiny liberal stereotype. The bit with that character in the second episode was awesome though.

Rezeta. Female Albanian model works, lives, and loves in Mexico. Light on plot, but there's some believable low-key everyday drama in there. Notes: much of the dialogue is in English. [spoiler]There is no lesbian sex.[/spoiler]

The representative from Georgia made his state proud as well, I'm sure. He's refusing to resign over it, claiming he wasn't thinking clearly. It all seemed pretty clear to me

Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound (2008)

Part of the American Masters series from PBS; this covered Joan's career at the 50th anniversary of her first recording.  It provided about equal measures of discussion about both her activism and her music; and it had interviews with Bob Dylan, David Harris, David Crosby, Roger McGuinn and Jesse Jackson.

Roger McGuinn made, what I thought, was an interesting point.  He said that once folk musicians started writing their own songs, rather than just singing ballads from 100 years ago, the music got much better.  As folk became an influence on Rock and Roll; rock became lyrically more sophisticated and became a literary art form.  Joan didn't write any of her own songs until later; but she was one of the first to sing her then-boyfriend Bob Dylan's songs.

They didn't interview her other famous ex-boyfriend; Steve Jobs.  That might have been too weird.

Ravi Shankar - Concert For World Peace (1993)



I once saw Ravi Shankar in concert.  He was about 90 at the time, and couldn't reach the upper frets of his sitar.  His daughter (no, not Norah Jones) played the more dynamic first set.  His set just wasn't very good.

In any event, if you think sitar music is totally groovy you should check this out.  It's transcendentaltastic.

[Admiral Yi]

Ravi Shankar, in addition to being a genius on the sitar, was blessed with one of the very few cool sounding Indian names.

[frunk]

Watched S2 of Dirk Gently, and it doesn't hit the glorious highs of S1.  It has the crazy, but not the unpredictability.  I think I had 90% of the story nailed down by the third episode, where I was pretty lost in S1 until near the end.  Both had satisfying endings, but S1 was a better puzzle.
Not enough [spoiler]Bart wasting everybody[/spoiler].

I did like the [spoiler]respective turns from Ken and Dustin[/spoiler].
