I watched it here because I'm not too fussy about everything being in HD and perfect.

"
Rolling Thunder
", written by the great Paul Schrader. His screenplay for this 'Vietnam-Vet' flick was superb; unfortunately the version shot is a wild distortion and dumbing-down of the original idea. Still interesting though. Stars: William DeVane (nice meaty lead role for him) and Tommy Lee Jones in support. These guys are always a couple of badasses until time took its toll. It's a shame that a star with such screen presence as Devane would up on CBS. He should have had a much larger career.
"The Happiest Days of your Life"
, a '40s Brit-Com starring the incredible talents of Alistair Sim. All about riotous happenings in a rural English public school. This flick is an informal kick-off to a series of four further films starring much the same cast.
"
Trouble in Paradise
" (1932, pre-Code) by the great Ernst Lubitsch; pioneer of verbal, witty, society comedy. Herbert Marshall is a dashing jewel thief; Kay Francis a female pickpocket.
"
History is Made at Night
" an early rom-com set aboard an ocean liner, starring always-suave Charles Boyer and always-dizzy Jean Arthur. Dir by Frank Borzage.
Just finished "
Snow Trail
" (1947, thriller) written by Akiro Kurosawa. A trio of bank robbers are stranded in the Japanese alps. Fabulous.

Kurosawa and Lubitsch are considered pioneers; regarded as auteurs –by anyone who knows anything about cinema.
Meanwhile, Paul Schrader of course is the famous author of "
Taxi Driver".
I guess what I'm saying is: there's nothing gheyer than a film n00b.

One of Netflix's newer original series is comedian Tom Segura's sketch comedy show
Bad Thoughts
, which has already been renewed for a second season. You would probably not expect the Netflix series with the most extreme gore to be a sketch comedy show, but here you go. This new "extreme comedy" series from Tom Segura is designed to shock and is absolutely loaded with ridiculously exaggerated gore and extreme gross-out humor, although the splattery violence, scatology, and anatomical grotesquerie are unlikely to shock anyone other than the kind of elderly conservative Christians who would never watch this in the first place. However, of all of the many series produced by Netflix, there really isn't a single one where the violence and shock value are more over-the-top than this (it reaches its peak with the gruesome killing spree at the end of the fifth episode). Many (including Netflix themselves) have likened this series to a comedic version of
Black Mirror
(and it was also compared to Netflix's critically acclaimed sketch comedy show
I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson
), but, if I were to compare it to anything, I would compare it to
The Whitest Kids U'Know
and Bill Burr's
Immoral Compass
if both of those shows were completely drained of all genuine wit and relied entirely on puerile shock value. The godawful
Nick Swardson's Pretend Time
is another show that this very much reminded me of. Perhaps the best comparison, however, is to
Ass
, the Oscar winner from
Idiocracy
that consisted entirely of a farting ass. All in all, this is a painfully unfunny collection of ultra-juvenile gross-outs that will make you weep for the state of comedy in the same way that
Terrifier 3
makes you weep for the state of horror. Six episodes have been made so far, and I did not laugh a single time watching any of them. Oh, and they bleep out the N-word when a white person says it. Edgy and shocking indeed. -

Binging a 70’s British anthology series “Thriller”. Enjoying it.
I also binged “Wayward” which was a big bust. Toni Collette and some of the kids were good, but **** consistency and continuity, and the ending was a real let down.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating. -
