Weird: The Al Yankovic story was not what I expected. For some reason going into it I thought that it was going to be a documentary. It is not. Overall it wasn't too bad, but it's not going to dethrone UHF as the best Weird Al movie.
I'm only one episode into SAS Rogue Heroes and it seems watchable so far, though the inclusion of modern rock music for part of the soundtrack of a series about WWII in N. Africa was a little out-of-place.
I watched The Outfit on Amazon. Mark Rylance was good, everybody else was not. Gun turnoff: BG pulls a stainless Taurus 85 in a story set in 1956. I won't spoil the ending, but it sucks. Unless you're desperate, give it a pass.

It is, sort of.
The 1979 version of All Quiet on the Western Front with Richard Thomas as Paul and Ernest Borgnine as Kat is truly lot better than the new Netflix version. It’s not even close. The story is fleshed out and there aren’t confusing jumps in time. I’d say watch the new version to see it but watch the 1979 movie to see a better story.

Guys! I just watched Arcane. Honestly need to thank everyone who recommended it! Never would have watched it otherwise and would have definitely missed out. It’s amazing in a way that little out there is right now. And I don’t game or even really like Sci Fi all that much. World building is amazing and the writing is excellent. I honestly don’t even know how to keep discussing it.
Whats next?
2004 BBC, on Amazon and HBO Plus.
By-the-numbers pseudo documentary story about an Islamic dirty bomb attack on London.
Fascinating as it follows the plot of the conspirators, its serendipitous detection by Scotland Yard, and the increasingly desperate efforts to rescue those trapped in the Hot Zone and stop the secondary device.
Quite appalling as the magnitude of the decontamination required dwarfs and overwhelms any realistic preparation, forcing Fire and Police to make horrifying choices.
I've been thinking about giving that a go recently. I'm just so tired of all the reboots and rehashed plots, superhero movies, etc. but it sounds like it's kind of poking fun at itself so maybe I'll try it. I've heard good things elsewhere about it too.
Let the Right One in.
A series of a dad trying to keep his 12 year old (in body) vampire daughter alive. Based on the two movies. Pretty good. On Showtime.
Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson (Apple TV) - An Academy and Grammy-award winning producer takes a look at some of the techniques and technologies used to construct sounds in music. Can be a little pretentious periodically, but there's some neat stuff in here. For instance, the Capitol Records Building in LA has chambers built underneath the parking lot where music is played out and re-recorded to create reverb. Lots of talk with musicians and some history of the art and technology.
Fun watch if you like music.
