      I saw a movie, a western romance, that had every cliche in the book in it. There was the Wounded Gunslinger who comes out of nowhere and collapses in the yard of the Virtuous Amish Widow -- who Raised Sheep in Beef Country. There was the Boring Stiff-Necked Guy Next Door who kept bugging the widow to marry him and she was like yech. And so on down the line. Once a passel of horsemen came galloping into the yard, raising dust and scaring the sheep and I was like, It's the Beef Guys, come to intimidate the widow! I know it! And it was! The gunslinger was still too sick abed to do much but he straggles to the door and waves his gun around and they run away. The widow thanks him and they Kiss Sweetly. This movie was great! I loved it!

        No, Beast.

        We are 80% thru S2 of The Bear. Excellent. On Hulu.

        What an amazing show.

        I get a little tired of the directors' decision to use extreme closeups, but the acting is so freaking good. Some of the plot points might be a bit contrived, but it's SO binge-able - especially at 30 minutes an episode ("Hey, just one more!")

          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.

          You can watch it for free at https://tubitv.com/movies/100002770/romeo-is-bleeding

              That episode was both brilliant and awfully difficult to watch.

                  Ha it’s how I spend the 30-60 minutes of “free” time at night. If I’m really disciplined I’ll watch some while riding my stationary bike.

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

                      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.

                      Education is extremely important.

                          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.

                                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....

                                      Just finished "The Glory" another Korean drama.

                                      Link to video

                                      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.

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

                                          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.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
