      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.

        As opposed to Running Train on a Girl, which I did not watch last night, nor ever.

          Went back and caught one I didn't get to when it came out. It's different.

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

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

                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.

                              Watched episode 1, intriguing. Gonna continue.

                                Ok did 6/7 episodes. I hear the ending is a good one. Very heavy. Adult themes.(sexual violence, identity,) but quite fascinating.

                                          I enjoyed the book, though my memory of it is dim.

                                          Don't waste your time on this.

                                          The series gets some of Wolfe's wit and sarcasm. Some.

                                          But all the characters are completely two-dimensional and caricatures. You really don't care what happens to any of them - they are little more than stereotype placeholders for an OK plot.

                                          That said, I like Daniels, even though he over-acts in this role. Also, I've lusted after Diane Lane for a long time.
