Discussion questions:
What TV shows or films have you watched recently?
What subscription services are you subscribed to, if any?
Question of the week:
What movies are you anticipating in 2023?
Question of the week is the same as last time since 2023 has barely started.
Last show I watched was Wednesday, and it was better than I expected, and planning to watch Last of Us next. I’ve got netflix and splitting crave (which is a Canadian flavor of HBO) with a friend. Haven’t really kept up with movies since the pandemic started. :)
Absolutely no subscriptions, not worth it at all. I just finished watching a few months ago “In the Name of the People”, Chinese thriller about anti-corruption. Now I’m watching “The Knockout” which is in the same vein, but it hasn’t gripped me strongly like the former did.
99.9% of western media is soooo bad.
Yeah western media sucks. It’s not just that I dislike the messaging, it’s just bad. A billion dollar production can’t go five minutes without an over-produced CGI explosion. Subtlety is no long allowed. Every conversation needs to be a screaming match or a fight or a fuck. Every trope is driven by trope or absurdism.
Anyway, do you have the folder for “In the Name of the People”? If you do, can I have the magnet?
Yeah I totally agree. The level of tropes and anti-proletarian themes of so much western media is annoying.
INP is available to stream on youtube with both english and mandarin subtitles, that’s where I watched it.
xiong chumo, the chinese animated movie series. It’s surprisingly good.
I am currently re-watching James Cameron’s “Avatar” (2009) and I have recently seen Event Horizon (1997). I Also recently finished season 4 of The Expanse. I am also anticipating the streaming release of Avatar: The Way of Water.
