The last 2 nights I’ve watched a couple of documentary’s on Max Summer of Soul about the 1969 Harlem music festival and How They Got Over about black gospel quartets from the 30s to the60s, I enjoyed both films , but the kicker is when I listened to this song this morning I jumped from the computer, kind of teared up, got through the song and stopped the player. A few hours later I listened to the rest of the compilation great stuff, then put on that 1st song again and started twitching, stopped waited a few seconds started again the same thing happened so, either I need to see a doctor,music gave me a orgasm or I had a come to J. R. “Bob” Dobbs moment, but the music films must have had something to do with it

I don’t even remember what led me to this, but watching the Amazing Race has been my latest guilty pleasure. The Amazing Race Canada, too. TAR still has all the super-dramatic reality TV editing and music but is way less focused on interpersonal conflict. It’s the places and tasks that make it interesting.

Compared to the US show, the Canadian show is way lower budget and milder in vibes, but the Canadian host is way more enthusiastic. He actually does the challenges while explaining them.

still on romance anime. honestly im not sure if I can take much more. luckily many of them are comedys or have a fantasy element.

We watched Flow. It’s exquisitely beautiful. It’s a Latvian film yet it feels like it was inspired by Ghibli. Very well done. No characters perish (there are 2 characters where that’s debatable), but my gods I was hella stressed out for the main characters throughout the whole series of events. I think I’ll have to watch it again so I can appreciate more of it now that I know the outcome. There are mysteries presented that are just left as mysteries. We never get the answers for them. Leaves a lot open for interesting discussion.

Thank You for Sharing

I watched Challengers recently. Felt like The Social Network for tennis. Opens as a tennis movie, ends ends as a friendship/relationship movie.

Almost done with season 6 of The Expanse and I don’t want it to end. Also started Invincible season 3.

Daima dubs getting entertaining, solo levelings alright (better than webtoon), mythic quests last episode was mid, I forget the rest right now

After being reminded of it by suggesting it to someone else on Lemmy I’ve been re-watching Kieślowski’s Dekalog. Been doing an episode a day and have seen four so far. They really are just masterpieces. I’d almost forgotten how uncomfortable episode 4 was (in a good way), but it’s impossible to forget just how much humanity Kieślowski is able to capture and put on display. Some really gorgeous shots and visual symbolism too, mixed into the fascinating stories that always pose questions and never provide any answers. For a series about the ten commandments there is a complete lack of moralising, he only ever presents you with dilemmas and lets you draw your own conclusions. Phenomenal series.

Mid term for the kids so I took some time off.

Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2 and 3. My youngest is on a bit of a Sonic buzz at the moment. I enjoyed the cuddles and the movies were actually decent enough.

Public Enemies - 2009. Story about the Dillinger gang who pulled off a bunch of bank robberies. Depp and Bale were both very good. I enjoyed it.

Heat - 1995. Rewatch obviously. It has held up incredibly well. Hard to believe it’s 30 years old. Watch it if you haven’t seen it. Absolutely incredible gangster / bank heist movie with Pacino and De Niro on opposing sides.

Collateral - 2004. Cruise and Jamie Foxx. Also holds up really well. Standard Tom Cruise flick but very enjoyable.
