Truth—streaming on HULU in the forum Movies, Television, Streaming 2 months ago
I can’t believe I missed this. It’s the story of Dan Rather and his report on Bush’s Air National Guard time; the report that ended his career. It’s based on a book by Mary Mapes, the producer of that episode. Stellar cast: Cate Blanchett (as Mapes), Robert Redford (as Rather), Elizabeth Moss, Dennis Quade and more top notch actors. If you have ac…[Read more]

If anyone is a fan of the musicals of the 50s and 60s… or even if you aren’t… in the forum Movies, Television, Streaming 3 months ago
But 97% is quality stuff. It’s inexpensive compared to other streaming services. If you buy a new Apple product they usually give you three months for free. I’m operating on my free three months right now.

I’m pretty much a Slinger, but the whole streaming channels thing open up to “classic” shows and musicals.

Try Schmigadoon, streaming on Apple TV+. It’s a send up of all those early musicals. Within the first few minutes there was a reference to Oklahoma, Carrousel and, of course, Brigadoon. I laughed outright when the blossoms dropped when the carnival barker started singing. It reminded of my time in the flies dropping twisted pieces of paper, r…[Read more]

And now for something completely different – White Lotus 2 finale….. in the forum Movies, Television, Streaming 3 months ago
The theme really is “rich people can be total shits and then get away clean”. I just want to know who was found dead floating in the water. Most of the characters deserve a demise – even Jennifer Coolidge was a shit when she backed out of helping that woman start her own spa last season- now I just want to see how it ends.
Weird fact – C…[Read more]

Not one of those characters had any redeeming features. So I’m not watching the second season. (I do love Jennifer Coolidge, though.)

This is on HBO – if anyone else is watching this, do you have any guesses about which guests die next week in the finale? This season is pretty dark overall, a season 3 has been confirmed, and I am of course hoping that Tanya (the wondrous Jennifer Coolidge) makes it to next season. Aubrey Plaza is also someone who I hope not only lives, but ma…[Read more]

2 Kdramas with interesting women lead characters in the forum Movies, Television, Streaming 9 months ago
I’ll mention Misty first because it’s on Netflix, and easiest to find. Misty is a top broadcaster from “JBC” tv news. She succeeded by her own talent and ambition, though never accepted fully by her husband’s wealthy family because of her lower social class. The drama is very tight so far constructed backwards from an apparent auto accident v.…[Read more]

Just binged The Bear on Hulu. in the forum Movies, Television, Streaming 9 months ago
8 episodes. Could not stop watching. It is about a small, old, failing sandwich shop in Chicago. I understand that it is a very accurate recounting of what it is actually like to work in a kitchen, and the acting and actors, IMO, are perfect. Also – I googled around, and I am NOT the only person who teared up at the end, just because it was…[Read more]

One of my principal news sources in South Korea in the forum Movies, Television, Streaming 9 months ago
It’s been really sad for me to see the US news becoming corporate and US propaganda, and sad to see world news becoming censored almost everywhere.
It’s a trend I’ve seen for many decades, and currently the strongest I have seen globally.

Forgot how much I like The Accountant! Just popped up on HBO again. in the forum Movies, Television, Streaming 9 months ago
And the song at the end is really really good. IMO, etc. No sequels, for a movie that begs for a sequel, in an entertainment world dripping with pointless sequels. Well except for Sharknado, which sorta created its own niche and reality, of course.

Dopesick, streaming on HULU. It’s about the takedown of Purdue Pharmaceuticals, the Sackler family and the OxyContin problem. Have Kleenex handy.
George Carlin’s American Dream, an excellent two-part documentary on HBO Max. Lots of clips, interviews with associates, and his daughter, Kelly. I was impressed how articulate she was, which shou…[Read more] -

The Northman is a bloody disgrace of a movie in the forum Movies, Television, Streaming 10 months ago
My stepdaughter and I thought we’d like this, because we both liked The Last Kingdom and Vikings TV series, and if Nicole Kidman was in it, how bad could it be? We were expecting some Viking adventure film with some romance thrown it.
That didn’t happen. It was Quentin Tarentino-level gratuitous violence with not much of a plot, laced through…[Read more]
