At the Cinema Sweet Sue (2023) - by Leo Leigh (Mike Leigh's son) - a low key dramedy which walked the line between grotesque and sympathetic characters very well.
TV - The Sandbaggers from 1978. Cold war UK spy drama series focussed on the internal politics and strategising of MI6's Special Operations Unit. A sharp and Intelligent script is the backbone for this one, overcoming the low budget.
TV - True Detective - season 4 - just the first episode so far. I have not seen any of these other than S1. This is not as intense as the start of that, but is intriguing enough to continue.
I just started rewatching Star Trek: Voyager, for the first time since its original run on TV when I was a kid, thanks to all the damn Star Trek memes on Lemmy.
I am having a great time.
I'm watching Loudermilk (I guess because it's trending right now).
Season 1 had absolutely hilarious episodes, but also some bumps (especially later in the season). Season 2 they made some obvious changes and found their stride. If you stopped or got bored in season 1, push through. It's worth it
I saw a fan-edit of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines called 'Terminator 3: The Coming Storm'.
It cuts out all the goofy stuff from the original, leaving a tight 90-minute dystopian thriller that I really enjoyed.
It's only available in DVD-type quality, but I didn't mind (I've only got a 1080p projector).
Currently watching a korean series called "The Bequeathed". I'm just on the 3rd episode but it's been good so far. It's giving me True Detective vibes, which is cool because I'm also watching TD Season 4. Still cautiously optimistic because korean shows are notorious for not being able to end properly, but I'm enjoying it so far.
I also saw the 10-minute preview of Dune Part 2 that included an exclusive trailer last night. Got tickets for the early screening on Feb. 25. The hype is real!
Fellow Travelers, based on the book by the same name. Strong recommend.
