I watched Shaun of the Dead (again) this weekend, and I just had to think Nick Frost is a terribley underated actor.
I mean when you think of how many takes they had to do for some scenes, and Nick was always a real trooper ready to fart on demand. "I'll stop doing it, when you stop laughing"...

I don't think Sir Charles Olivier could fart on demand so often and so well, not to mention other screen greats like Harrison Ford, or Hugh Grant.

Truly a British Treasure..Nick Frost...

 

Not a movie, but rather a limited series which I'd kinda like a really, really long movie...Ripley!!

It is visually stunning, every single shot a work of art. The camera is an integral part of the story telling.

 

There's a series from Netflix "Altered Carbon" - its quite well done. The production values are extraordinary for television, it looks more like a film.



I'm currently rewatching it.. it originally aired 2018-2020

Quadrophenia - 1979

Quadrophenia is a 1979 British feature film based on the 1973 concept album of the same name by the rock group The Who.

Jimmy Cooper hates his job and his parents.
He seeks solace with his fashionable clique, scooter riding and drugs, only to be disappointed.

 

The first season I rate , the second though not bad to me is more a .

If you can, check out The Expanse. It's really fantastic.

 

Legion is kind of like that, 1st season - totally unexpected and really great - I think the 3rd season was the weakest, but it was fantastic as well, just not quite as fantastic as what we had gotten used to..

where are the strong and who is the trusted?

3 seasons.. 2017-2019 27 episodes

Thank you so much, I found it at Anna's and will read it for sure.

 

I'm gonna start watching this weekend... I usually only watch an episode or 2 per week on any series, so I have a chance to think it over. I can't understand binge watching,its like eating an entire cake at once. maybe we can discuss it in a year or so when i've finished it.....

 

A few excellent music bios:

Who Killed The KLF?

Everyday Sunshine: The Story Of Fishbone

Companion.
What a great film! Loved every minute. Twistier than a twisty thing on National Twist Day. So good.
