Nextmanup Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I watched the Japanese film "DEPARTURES" (mentioned upthread) last night. Good movie that I would give a solid recommendation to. Gives you some insight into modern Japanese culture. It's up and available for free in its entirety right now at Youtube, which is where I watched it.

I'm actually thinking about keeping Apple TV for a month just to try the other originals like Schmigadoon, Foundation, and Lisey's Story. Anyone have any thoughts on the Apple Originals? For All Mankind (alternate reality of moon landing and what ifs) and Mythic Quest (comedy with Mac from It's always Sunny) are really good. Foundation looks great but I haven't seen yet..

The Poojer Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I just watched Maid, starring Margaret Qualley and her mom Andi McDowell. It's a 10 episode series and it friggin gripped me. It's a very powerful story dealing with domestic violence against women and those women's struggles to break the cycle. Highly recommend it, and it's not completely a downer, there are some really happy moments along the way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 "Four Hours at the Capitol" on HBO is a good documentary worth watching. Has tons of footage that the news did not show. After watching the documentary, it seems like a miracle the whole thing did not turn into a gunfight with hundreds and hundreds of deaths. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockpile233 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I didn’t think this necessarily deserved it’s own thread so putting it here. This has blown my mind and I’ll never again watch The Shining the way I used to. Definitely worth the watch for fans of the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man from Nowhere Burning I Saw The Devil Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance Oldboy These are just a few, great content from Korea if you don’t mind subtitles. Haven't watched Burning, but the rest...oh man. Great list. I'll add Mother, The Chaser, and New World. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD4Bills Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Started watching Locke & Key on Netflix. Part supernatural mystery, part family drama. A few episodes in, and liking it so far. Based on a graphic novel/comic series by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not expect it to be a foreign diner but that made it that much better. After about the third episode, I had to watch one after another. Took me a week to do through them all. I will miss it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Apple TV - The Fight Before Christmas. It's a documentary. You're gonna take the side of the guy fighting the HOA at first. But within half an hour, you'll be siding with the HOA. Edited November 29, 2021 by Just Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she enjoyed it overall and would give it a solid thumbs up. On 11/18/2021 at 11:57 AM, Greybeard said: I have to really thank you for recommending this.

DD4Bills Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I had no desire to watch the new "in season" version of Hard Knocks on HBO, but happened to catch part of the episode that featured the Bills game. As much as I hated that game, I gotta say that I love Frank Reich. There was a scene where he was eating dinner the night before the game with Bruce Smith and Steve Tasker, and what he said about the talk he was going to give his team that night was maybe the greatest bit of Hard Knocks I've ever seen. Frank gets it, knows what matters and what doesn't, and comes across as a genuine guy. Hard Knocks in general...meh. Frank Reich on Hard Knocks?

The Poojer Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Wayne on Amazon Prime. 10 30 minute episode season 1. Very dark, but pretty damn good. Cool cast as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Man Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Anyone check out Foundation on Apple+? I have read a lot of Asimov short story collections but never any of the source material for this show. I'm a big fan of sci-fi so this is on my radar but still not sure if I should give it the time as reviews seem to be a little mixed on it. I'm curious if anyone has any insight to it on here.
