A star is born is on Prime now, Ga Ga puts in a decent performance for a singer. biggrin
Watched it last night. Was good, but I didn't believe Cooper's story-arc. Didn't think they really captured an emotional downward spiral, it was just set-pieces of him being drunk. Then getting clean, then being tipped over the-edge by the words of a bloke he didn't particularly like. The end result didn't pack an emotional punch for me.
I really didn't enjoy it. I liked the music but the film? Nope

Dark Waters - true story about the poisoning of the world's population by Dupont. Shocking stuff and a pretty good film.

Yes, enjoyed this. Eye opening stuff and straight after the film had me googling “are Teflon pans dangerous” hehe

Makes me wonder who controls the web results that are returned on that search...

Tell me about it, I've now got a pile of Teflon pans in the garage in the queue for the recycling centre and big credit card bill for a set of brand new stainless steel cooking equipment, all as a result of the missus watching this film and panicking. The chemical involved in the problems was only a problem when released into the air and water course locally to the factories, it has not been proven to be a problem once bonded in to a product like Teflon.

Even if they could, they'd never make it stick.

Same here - we now have over $1,000 worth of stainless and blue steel pans (massive pita tbh).

Oh and to add, after living in the states, nothing surprises me when it comes to making a profit over the lives and health of people. It wasn't that long ago the rivers in Ohio were catching on fire due to the amount of toxic pollution discharged into them.

And companies are constantly trying to wind back the current lax environmental standards - and that's with cities having running water unfit for human consumption.

Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown
A "documentary film that examines the life, work, and mind of American writer H. P. Lovecraft, creator of the Cthulhu Mythos"

Currently watching it, and it seems quite interesting so far.

Features 'talking head' interviews with John Carpenter, Guillermo del Toro, Neil Gaiman, and others.

I watched undone in one sitting (8 episodes, 24 mins each). Pretty decent story and concept, worth a watch. Trailer can be watched here to see if it's up your street, I quite like time warping things, so enjoyed it,
Thanks for that. Just watched the first one. Interesting.

It got some sequels! 2 and 3 on Prime, 4 as a rent/buy. Adding them to the watch list anyway, even if it's just for the title of Nemesis 3 hehe

Margin Call is well worth a watch.

Collapse of a major finance house in 2008. Some very good performances.
