What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2020)

[bert bloggs]

same here i have no problem is someone is gay ,non binery or whatever ,but make your own movies .also cant stand it when they shoehorn in people of different ethneticity ,just to be inclusive ,like making the Artful dodger black ,etc ,why not make Fagin a Muslim? cant see that happening ,and before the usual gang start screaming racist , one of my my favourite cops is Luther.

by the way in the second part of All creatures great and small that i watched today ,did anyone notice that the other vet was of Asian origin.? slipped that in didnt they????

Getting into some of the old movies as is my wont in these times and last night watched "Play Dirty" with Michael Caine and a few others and set in the Second World War in Libya.

Great Movie 

 

Love the opening sequence:-

 

 

Got to feel for that poor Jeep  

[Jingthing]

Expecting little, our TV critic found 25 shows worth watching this fall. (Yes, really!)

 

My suggested marketing slogan for this fall’s TV season: Not as bleak as you expected!

New Dune set to arrive in theaters on Dec. 18, COVID willing:

 

 

Getting some hopeful buzz, guess I'm compelled to see it no matter the reviews.

Sure. In the good old days they used to have their own genres, which could easily be left at the VHS rental shelf. But now every single movie has to have a minority quota that's usually shoehorned in in a way that does not fit the story at all. Irritating. Do your own bloody movies and leave the ones for meat eating middle aged white straight men alone. 

 

Next will probably be a remake of Commando with a one-legged obese Polynesian lesbian fighting white guys doing a BBQ with a bullhorn.

Worst example recently was the woke Mary Queen of Scots film with black court officials around Elizabeth first! Her dad did have a black trumpeter, but they were not in positions of power. Also, they are too often not such good actors who only got cast because of what they look like. Waiting for a remake of Zulu, but with white guys playing some of the natives! Also ethnic roles can almost never be negative or bad, if they do commit a murder there will always be somebody else, usually white male who influenced them.

With the delectable Margot Robbie. I wouldn't mind drinking her bath water ... through a straw.

Thoroughly enjoyed this show.

Also S03 of "Yellowstone" I still haven't decided who is good or bad in this show. Maybe, it's just a good cross-section of society. We're all rotten. Just some are more rotten than others.

Utopia is a new one?

[Neeranam]

Seems there is another one

 

[steelepulse]

I highly recommend " The Social Dilemma" which just came out on Netflix.  It explores what social media is doing to our kids and our society.  Multiple ex top executives from Silicon Valley give their perspective on how social media has taken over society.

I loved the original Utopia, and in fact, just watched it again.  Very relevant for what's going on right now.

[Jai Dee]

Watched The Big Ugly last night... surprisingly good! 

 

The movie was a lot of fun to watch. Great characters... Perlman, McDowell, and Jones do most of the the main acting and fighting as expected... but there is also an awesome supporting cast of characters that help develop the plot and provide some great eye candy.

 

 

 

[Jingthing]

Guilty pleasure. 

 

A critic suggested skipping episode one but I couldn't.

 

Very silly stuff.

Think you are generalizing a bit.  Meaning not all movies are doing this IMO.  IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes can give you a heads up on the characters before you go to the trouble of downloading a movie.

I should have written every single movie from Hollywood. F.ex. Korean movies do not suffer from wokism.

 

Speaking of which .. I think I'll watch this one again:

 

[Skallywag]

What you've all been waiting for (sarcastically)  .  Your modern woke HBO family drama series premiering on 9-14.  U.S. Military mother (also the father/man in the relationship), married to same gender foreign lady, raising her woke son with an african multi gender girlfriend on a military base in Italy .  ✌️????

Movie The Irishman

Just started watching Schitz Creek..looks funny.

[Orton Rd]

Watched the VERY controversial Cuties by Netflix, surprised the mob has not burned the director at the stake. Fuss is all about the so called sexualisation of the dance troupe in the film, it's even accused of being pedo porn.

The story is a crude attempt to contrast western values with Muslim ones with a young immigrant girl caught between the two. Director is a French Muslim woman and does not get it right, far too soft on the kids Islamic background, she gives us a bit of a Walt Disney version, and then in an effort to demonise French values she goes over the top with the 'sexy' dance routines, although you can see much the same in Africa, well not in Muslim areas! Gets 1.7 on IMDB but RT gives it 88% see it and make your own mind up. Good idea but not carried out very well, saw director interview where she claims Muslim women have more rights, yet the film shows men marrying more than one wife! In real life the kid would probably have undergone FGM.

I noticed on my Netflix homepage - that undercover returns in the first week of November - if you missed the first series you can catch up before the new one starts,

...

The Cup (ཕོར་པ། or Phörpa) is a 1999 Tibetan-language film directed by Khyentse Norbu. The plot involves two young football-crazed Tibetan refugee novice monks in a remote Himalayan monastery in India who desperately try to obtain a television for the monastery to watch the 1998 World Cup final.

Even if you are not a football fan, you will like that one!

If you give it a chance, it's a good movie about the US these days with the cop issue and race.

“I AM NOT A RAPIST!”........BBC 1/3  Yesterday

 

Of the 60,000 rape cases reported to police last year, it is estimated that up to eight per cent were false allegations. This documentary hears the stories of three young men who were falsely accused of rape, examining the consequences of the allegations on their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

 

It is rare to put a spotlight on those falsely accused of rape, but these men's distressing stories need telling too.
