also if you like historical-ish stuff 'The Favourite' is rather a good film. queen anne (the first queen of the unified Britain and ironically the last queen of direct british desent before we went all hanover-tit) is played rather brilliantly by olivia coleman but the film is stolen for me by7 Rachel Wez's Sarah, duchess of Marlborough; who as well as being Anne's puppet-master is also drinki8ng from her furry cup.

"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

the first episode of this has me hooked and luckily all 10 episodes are available at once. written and produced by Frank Miller so the quality is almost guaranteed.

Have just finished this & I thought it was fantastic.iesus wrote: ↑21 Jul 2020, 07:53
After i finish the episodes i started yesterday from this
Which is not documentary and takes a sarcastic turn of events. Many dark comedy strokes in the era of Catherine the Great. They put on fantastic characters like on parallel universe and lots of funny stuff occur.
Elle Fanning was awesome.

We just finished watching it, and thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the early establishing shots of Dallas showed the building we lived in before moving to DC. They got the city just right enough to make us homesick, and just wrong enough to make us laugh. The aerial shots of Dealey Plaza brought back a lot of memories. The “FBI building” that Vanya gets locked up in is a federal courthouse now, and where I got my first passport.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

The only qualm I have with it so far is the audio mix. The scenes underscored by music, gunshots, general fighting seem to be 3 or 4x the volume of the regular dialogue scenes. One minute I'm struggling to hear what's being said, so I crank it up a tad. The next, I get concert levels of soundtrack.sultan2075 wrote: ↑06 Aug 2020, 02:51We just finished watching it, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Other than that, it is very enjoyable. Just need to keep a remote nearby.

I have that experience more and more. Either they've changed the way they mix sound or we're just getting old.Pista wrote: ↑06 Aug 2020, 07:06

I think this is the first time it's been this pronounced for me (maybe I've only just reached "the age").sultan2075 wrote: ↑06 Aug 2020, 14:41

Deadwood was a little bit up & down, but UA was so severe that I actually recalibrated the speakers in the surround system to see if the settings were all jacked up.
