What are you Watching?

Watching ," Washed Out-"Purple Noon" Release Performance" on youtube...a streaming performance, August 7th...they set up some five static cameras on a small dock as the sun was going down, some party lights set up...too bad the color changed everything to an Orange pale as the concert progressed as the lighting changed from sunlight to incandescent bulbs...boats passing along in the background...truly magnificent, turn it up...

Looked La La Land again. This is a great film from the interesting and one of my favorite directors Damien Chazelle. To shoot a film in the style of a 21st century musical and at the same time receive an Oscar in six nominations is very bold and cool, apparently, he is confident in his talent.
 
Politics is horrible stuff. I'd doubtless get shot or poisened if I tried to live or work under some of the World's more disgusting regimes. :rolleyes:

I was watching "American Beauty" last night:

American Beauty (1999) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers - YouTube

Somebody dumped it in the Street. I gave it a go after a second-thought.

Absolutely astonishing film IMO. Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening act their hearts out. It's not reality, but possibly closer to reality than most of us like to go. And at a technical level, every scene counts. Director Sam Mendes can be proud of it, just like he can with 1917.

Far better than his Bond films.
 
I don't think you have to apologise for yourself as twisted. :)

The Universe is twisted IMO. I have always liked the darker side of Human Character.

My favourite reading is the genre: "Noir".

LA Confidential (1997) Official Trailer - Kevin Spacey, Guy Pearce Movie HD - YouTube

Old Spacey is in this one too. Though TBH, Kim Basinger won me over more. Just me.

Filthy stuff. But then James Ellroy has been round the Block a few times too.

What a terrible punishment for them, it is obvious that they will no longer come to see the sights and the spire of the cathedral. In Russia, they were punished even more, on TV they showed them as lovers of same-sex couples who like to travel exclusively to Salisbury))) Apparently Putin was joking at them, I think, because they did a bad job ... This is another joke)))
 
I have to be careful what I say. But we in Britain are not quite ready to take on the Russians.

Woeful and underpaid as the Ruskies are, we have significant engine troubles in our own Type-45 Destroyers. :D

But give it a couple of Years, and we might fancy our chances. Time will tell.
