    My wife and I binged Severance over the last couple of weeks. Before that it was For All Mankind. Can you tell I got an AppleTV membership?

    I was trapped inside a flying metal box, and it gave me the opportunity to watch several stuff:

    • It happened last night: Fun, well acted and great cinematography for an old comedy with Clark Gable. It shows its age through certain appalling misogyny, but it is also like traveling to a different time.

    • Fast Times in Richmond High: It is amazing how well it stands time. Also a time capsule of the 80s, not only for clothing and setting, but also how people acted and thought. It is surprisingly mature for a raunchy teen comedy and touches subjects with a care unfound even in today’s dramas.

    • One Battle After Another: Made me super uncomfortable all the time, for how relevant it is to our time, but also how it might be prescient to what’s coming. Definitely not perfect and hard to watch but very well wrapped at the end.

    • Rental Family: I expected the tipical Japansplotation movie and came out crying enough to feel lighter at the end. Brendan Fraser is an excellent “Sad American” but the rest of the cast was also stacked. Sadly, not all sub-stories are as relevant or well rounded as the main one. Still, the overall is a great, modest, piece of light family drama.

    We finished out For All Mankind rewatch just in time for the new episode to come out!

    For bad movie night last night we did Cats and Dogs (2001). Imo more it’s more silly than bad, but still about pets being secret spies at war with each other.

      I wasn’t entirely sold on last season, but it still was fun, just now it feels like a different show. I’m hyped though, want too see Ed Baldwin turn into a cyborg.

    I just finished Deathstalker. It was even cheesier than the Beastmaster movies. A lot of puppets and early 90s midi music mixed with gore.

    I started watching the live action One Piece after Critical Drinker recommended it and it seems pretty good so far. I appreciate the heads up he gave that you just have to accept its wacky premises and magic/physics, and you’ll have a better time.

    I heard the manga is one of the longest running ever? I’m not sure how you translate that into a series but fingers crossed it has a well thought out finite storyline.

      Didn’t watch S2 of Netflix’s One Piece, but S1 was crearly shrunk in comparison to both the manga and anime (manga is on Amazon and afaik Comipo; anime is on Crunchyroll). The shortening is probably due to a lot of build ups that aren’t immediately relevant getting cut (though they would mean a lot when you get to the equivalent point of S4 of the anime).

      Also Nami’s part of S1’s arc being cut so much shorter, Garp appearing and being too relevant too early on, and the shift in Nami’s sister’s personality all made me lose the semblant of hope Netflix for once was doing something decent.

      I’m not holding my breath for S2, nor what they cook up next.

        I hate drama, but I love fight scenes. I’m immediately happier with this season. I think they’re doing a great job adapting an arguably goofy comic. I won’t say too much, I got hyped this season.

        Or VIP? Hit or miss.
