"From musicians to princes, a new book by historian Miranda Kaufmann opens a window on the hitherto unknown part played by black people in 16th-century England" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/29/tudor-english-black-not-slave-in-sight-miranda-kaufmann-history widely discredited, as usual takes very few examples, and expands those to attempt to make out mass diversity. To quote the woman 'Kaufmann laments the scarcity of complete evidence:' So without evidence she just makes it up, exaggerates or lies. Some of the people she lists were not even black. These characters have always been known about. Edited June 18, 2022 by proton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 If you're in the mood for a quirky indie film. You've probably seen stuff like thus before. The phrase nihilistic vision comes to mind. We're not talking Singing in the Rain with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanuk711 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Spiderhead Tried watching it last night--I thought quite woeful, I had seen Chris Hemsworth in "All the old Knives"--a good CIA type thriller IMO & he played a good role. This one--"Is set in the near future, when convicts are offered the chance to volunteer as medical subjects in hopes of shortening their sentences" it was bad---I try to see movies to the end even if I have to touch the fast forward button a few times... but just couldn't do it. His acting would have been OK but the script was--as say WOEFUL...... ** 1 redeeming feature in it---the soundtrack , they played a lot of Supper Tramp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Martha Mitchell Effect--Doco Watched this yesterday----good well put together.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thy have brought out and dusted down --Nightingales 30 years old and I see TPB is still running it---- , along the line of the Boys in some ways. Black comedy --IMDB 8.2 Three disparate characters are nightwatchmen in an office block somewhere in Britain. Their night life is surreal to say the least. Anything can happen from a friendly werewolf, to an allegorical Mary who turns up pregnant at their door on Christmas Eve.

connda Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Ozark Season 4 Part 2 came out. I've always have enjoyed the show as it's one of the more dark and quirky TV shows produced in the last couple of decades. And Part 2 just started off as dark and quirky as it gets. Six more episodes to the finale. This should be fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biervoormij Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I am currently watching the 2nd season of Made for Love. I really enjoyed Ray Romano's character in the first season. I would call it a dark comedy and only has a 6.9 rating on IMDB so may not be to everyone's taste but I find it funny. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Best thing I've seen this year is 'Tehran' S 1 & 2. I love it because it has lots of English subtitles - an aid to my failing hearing! Do not touch 'Last Seen Alive'! I like Gerard Butler but he is wasted in this trite storiless missing wife movie. How he was persuaded to act in it; how anyone thought this was worth spending millions on; are mysteries beyond our ken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recom273 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Just watching The Outlaws - I think it’s still as good as the first, still plenty of Marchent’s dry humour. Did anyone see that there is a Korean Money Heist ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
