    I vaguely remember the "Talented Mr. Ripley" movie with Jude Law, Matt Damon and Gwynneth Paltrow.

    Limited (8 episode) series on Netflix.

          I have mixed feelings. Haven't seen it yet, but the show went a little too mainstream for me in the past few seasons. I hope they bring it with the movie, though.

          Please love yourself.

            It was a semi-solid finish. It felt very much like the previous season. It really felt like they just wanted to round things off and answer a few final questions.

            As far as going mainstream, I don’t know about that. I think most of that feeling comes from mainstream itself moving. I mean, it started in 2003, predating shows like Rick and Morty by over a decade… And the outrageous characters will lose their outrageousness by repetition. Brock was frigging outstanding, but within 3-4 episodes, you had his shtick. That was true for pretty much all the characters. The idea that the kids were clones that kept dying was great at first, but the shtick also grew old. So at some point it actually evolves into filling in the holes of the story that the audience walked into the middle of.. they filled in all of the plot holes, satisfactorily.

              I saw Pulp Fiction on the flight out here. First time seeing it since it was in the theatre.

              I had forgotten how well crafted that movie is.

              A few scenes would be hard to imagine now, like Quentin repeatedly saying the N word.

                  Watched Girl on the Train last night. Started actively despising it after the first 30 minutes, which were artistically crafted and incomprehensible. Then in hindsight, just overwrought and needlessly convoluted to tell an uncomplicated story. Which sucked anyway.

                  Education is extremely important.

                        That was partly filmed in the village next to mine. I’ve never seen it. The movie that is.

                            Yeah, good characters, very film noir. Writing a bit implausible, but it just keeps getting more and more complicated.

                                  "To the Ends of the Earth"

                                  On Amazon Prime

                                  Based on the classic William Golding trilogy of novels To the Ends of the Earth tells the story of a young Englishman and aristocrat Edmund Talbot (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his long, dazzling and hazardous sea journey in 1812 from England to Australia. Edmund’s journey takes him on a rite of passage from youthful bravado and arrogance to maturity and humility.

                                    Someday or One Day

                                    After the death of her boyfriend, Wang Chuan-sheng (Greg Hsu), Huang Yu-hsuan (Ko Chia-yen) misses and longs to see her deceased boyfriend. Out of grief, Yu-hsuan frequently sends him text messages, hoping that he will somehow receive them.

                                    One day, Yu-hsuan receives a parcel containing an old-school Walkman portable cassette player and a cassette tape of Wu Bai's album The End of Love. While listening to the tape on a bus, she falls asleep. Upon awaking, she discovers she has been transported to 1998, and has taken over the body of a high school girl named Chen Yun-ru. The night before, Chen Yun-ru had been hit by a car. When Yu-hsuan regains consciousness in Yun-ru's body, she sees a boy beside her hospital bed, who looks exactly the same as her late boyfriend. At first, Yu-hsuan believes she has been reunited with Chuan-sheng, but she learns things are not how they appear.

                                    Trapped in living another person's life, Yu-hsuan tries to rewrite Yun-ru's fate. As she plays with destiny, Yu-hsuan learns about Yun-ru's "mysterious traffic accident".[5]

                                    A Taiwanese series that was quite popular. There is a Korean remake on Netflix right ow that has done really well. I think top ten in world views recently, but I think the Taiwan version is better!! (No bias of course.) It was also made into a Taiwan movie, which condensed the 13 part series into a single movie. I recommend you watch the series instead.

                                        On Netflix - this is quite a good documentary about arguably the greatest current movie composer.

                                        He's also a very likeable individual, and turned composing for movies on it's head. Definitely worth a watch.

                                          Baby reindeer. Never heard of it until this morning, when I read an article about in the times.

                                          Watched episode 1, intriguing. Gonna continue.
