I heard (and now read) if your son can wait three months, you can get Mulan with a Disney+ subscription on December 4

I made the mistake of diving back in to "Primeval" on Hulu last night. It came out in 2007 on BBC, and I remember watching a few episodes but didn't stick with it back then.
So last night I tuned in and started watching at 10:30. I'm paying today for not going to sleep until 3am. It's fun, has impressive acting, and even almost 15 years later the SFX still hold water. Think Jurassic Park, but in serial TV format, and done with intelligent scripts. Five seasons, but as with most British shows, a "season" is only 7 or so episodes.

I would guess this is for the rich and famous who want to watch movies when they are released but don't want to go to a public theater. So, for example, maybe Keith Richards might buy one. I would guess they are low volume but with a high profit margin.
Could you imagine watching one of those movies that is just so mind blowing, or so confusing, that you need to see it twice?
"Uhhh..can you leave this set up til Tuesday? (Good band name, btw) I didn't quite catch all of that."
"No prob, meter's running."

Sour Grapes (2016?) on Netflix is really interesting and pretty well done. It's the story of wine forger Rudy Kurniawan.
Have begun re-watching Hinterland with the woman to whom I'm related by marriage. Hinterland is often compared to Scandinavian noir: bleak, but captivating and tense. So beautifully shot, with well-drawn, realistic characters. Highly recommended.
My son chose the movie last night - Grand Piano (2013) with Elijah Wood, John Cusack, Alex Winter (actually took me most of the movie to figure out where I knew him from)
I'm curious if anyone else has seen it and what they thought of it. It generally gets favorable reviews. For me, there were too many "Yeah, right, that would happen" moments.
Anyone?

Just in time for Tenet -
All Nolan films ranked...
"That young man has an extra step on his ladder the rest of us just don't have."
That list has them like this:
11. Insomnia
10. Following (I have never seen this, I have heard about it but never seen it)
9. Interstellar
8. Dark Knight Rises
7. Tenet (have not seen it yet either)
6. Batman Begins
5. The Prestige
4. Dunkirk
3. The Dark Knight
2. Inception
1. Memento
I like that list a lot. In fact, I would only make a couple small changes. I would rank them like this (I am excluding Following and Tenet)
9. Insomnia
8. Interstellar
7. Dark Knight Rises
6. Dunkirk
5. Batman Begins
4. The Prestige
3. Inception
2. The Dark Knight
1. Memento

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

I notice a number of user reviews of Tenet mention the poor sound mix and often unintelligible dialog. Well, welcome to my world! I never go to the movies without asking for one of those closed caption devices.
Just binged on season one and the first episodes of two.
I’ve only read the initial story of the comics, but I think they’ve done an excellent job of capturing the tone/story (Americanizing most of the characters that were originally British other than keeping Butcher.). The casting is excellent, including casting Simon Pegg as the older Hugh Campbell, since he was the model for the artist for the younger Hughie back in the day. Not for the faint of heart (or ears), it’s definitely a Garth Ennis book!
Having not read the comics until this week, it reminds me of the Wild Card series that’s also supposedly in development as a series (Hulu.). I think some will believe Wild Cards is a rip-off of The Boys, even though it’s about twenty years older. (There’s not the corporate angle in Wild Cards, though.)
The first Dune trailer is out.
