Am I wrong to say : Classic. ??

Not a film but … an interesting podcast about how a conman/ murderer finally got his comeuppance.

My cameraman cousin warmly reccomended the "Passion of Joan of Arc", as an "understated for the time, subtle, black-and-white drama of the highest level" and borderline masterpiece/must-see movie to the cinephile that I am.

Die Passion der Jeanne d'Arc (1928) 8.1 | Biography, Drama, History

I watched it, and he was right to recommend it to me, now onto you.

What the filmakers managed to do with so little is pretty freaking good.

The actress that played Joan was especially mesmerizingly good, her expressions were very vivid and on-point (woman is a beast of an actress).

Anyways, it might be worth a watch for those interested in the History of Cinema, or those who just like good acting.

There are a bunch of films on Joan of Arc. Found the 1962 film on her trial by Robert Bresson well done, based on the actual transcripts: Procès de Jeanne d'Arc.

Started watching Barry. Had heard/read little about the show, but when I passed it on stream last night, I read the synopsis and it sounded like a nice set-up to start with. Bill Hader plays a hired killer who finds new meaning in life by joining a theater class. I like it so far. It also helps I'm getting a major crush on Sarah Goldberg. She's like an even cuter Naomi Watts, with more spunk.

just watched Adolescence on Netflix this weekend. Very Intense, Long Uncut shots was a new directing style/take that made the story more real. Acting was phenomenal. Overall great 4 episodes mini series. 100% recommend

Sarah Goldberg does a tremendous job. It is an all time top series as far as I’m concerned

Superman movies for some reason seem so hard to get right.

The Superman & Lois series is pretty good.

Superhero movies, save a few, are all duds.

MURDERBOT is here!!! This is finally a cool Assasynth story

You need to try that!

Just binge-watched all (that is out) episodes. Great show. I definitely vibe with it.

For Superman the animated stuff is better, either 1940s Fleischer shorts or the 1990s Animated series, if that's your kind of thing. Both are of high quality.

It's obvious you haven't seen All-Star Superman. Not everything from the past is better.

I would watch Stephen Graham read the phonebook.

I haven't seen it.

I have to say… the Marvel movies were pretty fantastic. I saw them all until Endgame. I hadn’t planned on it but a few years back I had ankle surgery and with nothing to do binged Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr Strange, Ant Man… I wasn’t going to see any of those and they were all great. Guardians is a flat out comedy.

That’s the thing about Marvel, they are a laugh riot. They’ve always got some great comedic scenes that make everything better.

Reminds me of when I saw Indiana Jones Last Crusade back in the theatre. That movie was hilarious and I bust a gut laughing at Connery’s amazing portrayal of Indy’s dad.

I have superhero fatigue though. Enough enough.

Honestly, Superman II had an amazing scene. Way ahead of its time. Along with Raiders it was THE movie to see back in the day.

Superman throws down in late night Metropolis against a super being… it’s not hard.

Instead they give us Superdog…
