Netflix doc about the Cecil Hotel. 

About 20 mins of content spread over 4 hrs.

Don't.

I thought someone had made a documentary about the Cecil Hotel in Vancouver, which was a total dive bar/strip club/weird music venue/hotel/brothel that got torn down in the early 2000s and was all excited. 
Then I saw it’s about that idiocy in LA. The first review I read might as well have been written by @perunamuusi lol, totally trashed it. 

This could be good, I guess? He’s had a few stinkers in a row recently.

I haven't really had a good time with any of his post 90s output.

Wednesday is described a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.

So they're going Sabrina / Nancy Drew? Lame. Burton is directing at least a few episodes, so I'll wait to pass judgement. How long til Helena Bonham Carter shows up as the mother, or a school teacher? lol

Quick WATMM, which one should I watch next: most recent season of The Expanse or most recent season of American Gods. 

Watching the tennis

Servant 1st season...

Not helpful sir. Not at all. 

Lupin was really good. Clever, satisfying heist stuff, perfect pacing. Looking forward to the next batch of episodes

Alive from Off Center, renamed Alive TV in 1992,^[1] was an American arts anthology television series aired by PBS between 1985 and 1996.^[2][3][4]

Each week, the series featured experimental short films by a mixture of up-and-coming and established directors.

Finally finished The Sopranos.

Motherfucking god damn orange peel beef, it's so fucking good! Second viewing was even better. James Gandolfini's breathing should have won all the Emmys.

These scenes / 10
 

And then Paulie saying "Oooh" backwards.

lol @ this documentary. basically, how the biggest dick in hiphop got to be that way

This gets good

Started Tribes of Europa on Netflix, did the first 2 episodes.  

I like the subtitles and they switch between English and German a fair bit.

It so far ticks every single cliche of the dystopic drama rulebook and also reminds me of Game of Thrones in a number of ways, but its fun and fairly harmless.  I hope it doesnt get boring too quickly.

servant just lost its charm...:(

^^ what did you except from m night shamalamado?

is it just me or do we have way too many docs about retro gaming nowadays? this one is all about nintendo and about 4hrs of people saying how great they are

I was expecting the same level of awesomeness of the first season...:(

anyway I don't think shamalamado is writing... he just produces and directs some of the episodes...

in television, the showrunner and producer have more control of the show than the director, especially due to name recognition. this can apply with film as well (eg. anything tom cruise is in). 

M. Night, I have such a love/hate relationship with. Loved his early shit, but almost walked out on Lady in the Water, SIgns was just terrible. I gave up. Then my wife and I went to go see The Visit in theatres, surrounded by a bunch of high school kids. It was awesome. People were flipping out in the best way possible and I finally realized: whether or not he realizes it, M. NIght is making movies for a teens/tweens and, if you can just let go into that truth, his movies become universally more enjoyable. 

Honorable mention/I'm kind of ashamed to admit it but not really: I was totally moved by After Earth. Just watched it last year. Loved it. 

Sry, back OT: Just finished American Horror Story: 1984   A solid season, but not my favorite (which is odd, 'cause I love 80's horror and this pm nails it). I do feel like binge watching reveals the gaps in a show that relies a lot on week to week break for tension. The flow isn't quite there. Also, some sloppy plotting/dialogue in the latter half, with several things unexplained and/or don't seem to hold with established rules of the universe. Solid B.

I just finished AHS ‘84 myself, the music was the high point, and it must have cost FX a ton, but the ghosts of Kajagoogoo was hard to top also, lol

You should be ashamed, that's crazy talk. I'm shocked and disgusted.

shame  shame  shame
