What are you streaming on Amazon, Netflix, etc?

I agree!!

Started this last night. WOW super corny! ALMOST gave up, but it builds and episode 2 is pretty good. The guy is like an inexperienced skinnier Reacher. Girl is cute as a button. I guess she has Tongan roots. The whole thing is woke as hell, pretty sure every female is in charge and has/had black hair. No real complaints from me! Haven't seen madam President yet, but FIB and WH relationship is creepy. Bad guys are white dudes so far.

 

It's been sparse. I give up and throw remote to spousal unit.

The latest Mando is good.

Spoiler: Mando Spoiler

They scared me a bit when she took her helmet off, I thought forge lady was gonna kiss queen lady

 

Ok i get so much crap about this but I havent seen any Studio Ghibli!! I know i know its on my to watch list! Anything you recommend?

 

It's really good!

But IMHO - a large amount of anime crap is, well, crap

 

What do you mean not woke? I don't understand the term. I am behind the times apparently

 

It means they're not shoving the progressive agenda down your throat.

 

Safest way to answer that one. I wasnt going to touch that question.

Thanks!

This is not a popular opinion, but I think Studio Ghibli is somewhat overrated. Their films are pretty to look at and have a lot of fantastical elements which are entertaining. But I find that their directors have a hard time telling a cohesive story. Even the ones I do like are not without this flaw. Spirited Away, Nausicaa, and Princess Mononoke are probably the most recommended Ghibli films.

 

+1 for Princess Mononoke

 

Unstable.

It's decent for mindless entertainment. Funny, enjoyable, but forgettable.

 

Homeland on Hulu. Seems decent so far

 

Same. I was like, where's that going?

 

I know what you mean and don't disagree. Well it IS Japanese and they are children's stories.

But I'm odd that way. One of my favorite movies ever is Kurosawa's Dreams.

For me Ghibli was all about the art of emotions, not necessarily storytelling. I'm not much of an anime guy, but it seems like most of Ghibli centers on themes of family or nature, and presents them in an almost surrealist way.

 

Liverpool - Man city

 

Rewatching Fringe. IMO that's a show that could be redone today and be solid.

 

Murder mystery 1 and 2 on Netflix

 

Just finished servant

 

So I started Shadow and Bone because of all the comments here. I was enjoying it, but four episodes in and I have no real desire to continue.
