I just watched Romeo Is Bleeding. I don't know what to make of it. I'd have called it noir but Rotton Tomatoes sort of called it fake noir or noir lite, so I don't know.

The primary thing I want to leave with you is that if you like jazz (or blues, I'm not sure which) trumpet, you should watch it for the soundtrack. Gary Oldman delivered his usual mindblower performance, and Lena Olin was so scary that I'll never be able to watch her again without hiding in the closet. Otherwise, I was confused a lot. I assumed it was because of my speakers, but RT called the plot confusing as well, so I don't know.

That episode was both brilliant and awfully difficult to watch.

I’ve seen none of those movies, and I have no desire to ruin my perfect record.

Has anybody watched Warrior on HBO Max? We just watched the first episode. Interesting start.

[Horace]

Anybody seen Miyazaki movies? I am sure lots of people here have. My piano teacher, who has the artist's temperament, mentioned them in a recent piano lesson by way of analogy to a certain musical passage we were discussing. I queued up Spirited Away on HBO's streaming service and will be watching soon.

[Mik]

We’re watching 80 For Brady. Totally stupid and very entertaining.

It just gets better and better. The fact that there are so many "guest starts" (Olivia Colman???) speaks to its quality.

I loved "Forks" - the episode where Richie finally gets it.

[Mik]

Yes, it was brilliant. One of the most rewarding episodes ever of any show.

Foundation S2 this Friday.

Foundation S2 this Friday.

I'll wait until all episodes are available then binge away.

Speaking of binging...

Finished "The Bear." Exceptional.

Wanted to start "The Lincoln Lawyer," then I realized, I'd forgotten just about everything from Season 1. So, I started from the beginning.

It's good, but not quite "Bosch" good. I know, Harry and Mickey are half-brothers....

Clint Eastwood's character in the movie "Blood Work" knows Bosch, too. Just read the book involving them both.

[Mik]

Hmm. Did not know that.

Just finished "The Glory" another Korean drama.

Good, but very dark. A girl while in HS undergoes some very serious and horrific bullying. 18 years later, she plots her revenge.

Quite engaging, but no way a "feel good" type of show.

[Mik]

Just watch Strange New Worlds S2E3. Thought it was going to be a tired rehash but it turned out to be very very good.

[George K]

Getting ready to start Lincoln Lawyer S2.

Binged through the 2nd half over the last couple of days. A very different tone than "Bosch." It's a bit lighter. Still enjoyable, other than the obnoxious music.

The interplay between Haller and his ex-wife(s) is fun.

What the second season did well was to plant the seed of "there's something wrong with the woman accused of murder" thinking in your head. It all comes to fruition in the last episode.

A fun watch for those who like courtroom shit.

[Mik]

We're enjoying it. Yeah, the chef is somehow amiss.

Lioness has potential. We'll see. Foundation S2 is OK.

[kluurs]

We are enjoying Silo. Good production values and so far, an engaging storyline.

I enjoyed as well. There are some...interesting...deviations from the book. And, at least half the book covers what happens after the season finale. I suppose I should queue up the rest of the book series.

Fun trivia: In one of the scenes, security (?) is organizing a bunch of people, telling them where to move, etc. One of the leaders calls out, "Hey, Howey! Put that over there!"

The author of the books is Hugh Howey.
