E.g. he said after the 2012 election that his white half wanted to vote for Romney. Marley looked like he was fully black, maybe it was the lower half of his body that was white (no penile jokes please). If you think BM looked black then you are unfamiliar with African skin tones. 2
The Hammer2021 Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 I rarely watch documentary productions but recently made an exception and enjoyed Trainwreck Woodstock 99. It's got excellent camera work and is a good yarn about how and why this attempt to recreate the original Woodstock failed. The reasons included; greed, musical genres, different drugs and generational shifts. For anybody who has enjoyed pop festivals this is especially interesting short, three part documentary and in general a good insight into greed compared to idealism. 2
The Hammer2021 Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 I'm undecided about an American cop show called 'Murder in the 1st' Its a multistrand narrative featuring nihilistic youth, bent cops and vice but although I'm watching it I'm not that enthusiastic but dont know why. Bad casting? Bad wardrobe? Too many beards? I'd be interested in other's opinions.

I thought Hit & Run was better, if you haven’t checked it. There’s also a new series of Manayek (about corruption in Israeli police) both share a few actors. I really enjoyed Hit and Run. Not as much as Fauda though. Thanks for the heads up about Manayek. I'll keep an eye out. 3
Mutt Daeng Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 I've just finished watching season 1 of Collision, which is a 5 part British crime drama, centred around a multi-vehicle crash on the A12. It was very good IMHO and worth a look. I got it from solidtorrents. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1349084/

gargamon Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 Saw Bob Odenkirk(Saul from BCS) on Bill Maher a few weeks back where they discussed his start in a skit comedy series from HBO in the 90's called "Mr Show with Bob and Doug". Found it on TPB. He sure has some talent. If you're into skit comedy, this is a winner. Isn't it funny how good comedians make great actors but it generally doesn't work the other way. 1

I enjoyed Tehran and Baghdad Central. 1
The Hammer2021 Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 The Orville is a comedy Sci Fi series in the style of Star Trek and is quite engaging. I've just started watching it so it remains to be seen what level of meaningful satire it might engage in. It has potential. 1

The torrent I found only has 1 seeder & 1 leecher, So the download took ages. One other thing is that although the audio is English, it has hard coded Dutch subs. I will send the link via PM as soon as I have posted this.

Mutt Daeng Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 I've just watched Secret State season 1. It's a 4 part drama which explores the relationship between a democratically elected government, big business and the banks. It was very good IMHO and well worth a look. I got it from kickass2. Again, not very many seeders, so relatively slow to download. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1960029/

Maher told him he had him in stitches way back when with his imitation of Bob Evans as god; Evans was recently depicted in that mini-series about the making of The Godfather. There are a few episodes of The Larry Sanders Show (Gary Shandling's old series) where Odenkirk plays a greasy Hollywood type, won't even shake someone's hand unless he knows there is something it it for him. Cracks me up.
bendejo Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Recently saw Humboldt County (2008). Had it's moments. I don't get this Jeremy Strong guy who gets so many accolades (he also plays the eldest son on Succession). 90% of the time he's impassive nearly to the point of comatose. Same in this movie.

Cracks me up. The Larry Sanders Show was pure genius. Up there with Seinfeld and Curb - possibly better than both.
