Only about halfway through, but it's absolutely riveting.

I was only joking

"Lear" was fabulous. Just fabulous.
Since I was so enthralled with it, I watched the Ian McKellan version of Richard III this morning. The film is 30 years old, and it kind of shows, but, considering the source material is 400 years old, I'll forgive.
Very well done also.

Watched The Holdovers last night. Pretty good.
I would have known it was an Alexander Payne movie just by the similarities to Sideways, which is one of my favorites.

He kind of belabors the obvious, but good characters and dialogue.

The Making of An Ordinary Woman. Really really good "slice of life" about Taiwan during the time I was growing up. Lots of laughs and memories when watching it. It is in a combination of Mandarin and Taiwanese.
39-year-old Chen Chia Lin doesn’t have a car, an apartment or a husband, and she just lost her job. Born in southern Taiwan during Taiwan’s economic takeoff, Chen was raised by her parents and grandparents to be a straight-A student and a respectable lady. But Chen knew in her heart that her dreams would not blossom in her hometown, and after a rebellion in the family, she left home to study in Taipei. After 20 years of trying to establish herself in the city and ‘living by the rules’, Chen now swears to live her life as an unapologetically confident woman.

(I have been trying to find a version with English subtitles for you guys, but so far, have been unsuccessful.)

Sounds like the story of your life!

The show does a good job of capture the time era. I watch it and think, “yes, that is exactly how it was!”

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

A bit. Overall it’s only real point was there was a black marshal.
I’m rewatching Longmire.

I vaguely remember the "Talented Mr. Ripley" movie with Jude Law, Matt Damon and Gwynneth Paltrow.
Limited (8 episode) series on Netflix.

We’re starting We Were The Lucky Ones on Hulu tonight.

Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart. Unless you’re @Aqua-Letifer , don’t even bother looking it up. And Aqua? I’m a little pissed you never told me it was out.

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.

Sugar and We Were The Lucky Ones. Will start One Life tonight probably.

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.
