Martin Scorsese's 1973 mafia masterpiece "Goncharov" is re-emerging online as film buffs obsess over the tale of corrupted power and loss. Its haunting theme song is finally on Spotify. The poster — which features Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Gene Hackman and Cybill Shepherd against an Italian cityscape — has gone viral.
that movie is a classic ... it's funny-depressing as hellLast week was a win on Netflix. First of all Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is amazing! But speaking of comedies, i found a political satire "La ley de Herodes" that was quite captivating and funny. I only wish I new the language and had the lived experience to fully appreciate the movie.

It is. I hope more people watch it. It is a perfect picture of politics. Excellent dark comedy. I just couldnt help but think how much nuance I am missing. I need to get back to my spanish learning "project" that got abandonedthat movie is a classic ... it's funny-depressing as hell

Just started watching. I love it.Just started watching "Wednesday" in Netflix. High quality dialog, very entertaining and well written. I loved the Addams Family tv show when I was a kid, and Tim Burton has masterfully kept its essence whilst transporting it to modern times.
Already watched it all ... except for one chapter which I found particularly childish and stupid, I found it very entertaining and brilliantly scripted.There is a new show about a Korean Attorney with autism spectrum disorder (Asburgers) on Netflix. Cute and family oriented - the subtitles are quick. They do a good job working the symptoms and issues into a natural storyline that isn't about autism.
"Extraordinary Attorney Woo"

Which episode.Already watched it all ... except for one chapter which I found particularly childish and stupid, I found it very entertaining and brilliantly scripted.
... the one about the guy who kidnapped a group of kids in a school bus and took them to a day of fun and games instead ... but that is just my taste, probably other people enjoyed it much more than I did because I don't completely get Korean humor.Which episode.
My last question: This movie is a painstaking labor of art. Right now, artificial intelligence art is in the spotlight for cutting artists out of the process, often without their permission. Have you been following that at all, and how do you feel about it?
I think that art is an expression of the soul. At its best, it is encompassing everything you are. Therefore, I consume, and love, art made by humans. I am completely moved by that. I am not interested in an illustration made by machines and the extrapolation of information. I talked to Dave McKean, who is a great artist. And he told me, his greatest hope is that AI cannot draw. It can interpolate information, but it cannot draw. It can never capture a feeling, or a countenance, or the softness of a human face, you know? Certainly, if that conversation was being had about film, it would hurt deeply. I would think it, as [Hayao] Miyazaki says, “an insult to life itself.”
It was less about humor and more about the severe competition parents feel about manufacturing successful children. The hours of non-stop classes and after hours tutoring/advanced classes is crazy - especially the months of drill/practice it takes a 10-year old to understand (memorize) some calculus whereas, they can learn in hours once their brains develop more as mid-late teenagers. Stupid social one-ups-manship between parents ruining their kids' childhoods (I watched it last night - less about funny and more about disrupting social norms).... the one about the guy who kidnapped a group of kids in a school bus and took them to a day of fun and games instead ... but that is just my taste, probably other people enjoyed it much more than I did because I don't completely get Korean humor.
But as I said, other than that, I loved the series.

Edie Falco Shot ‘Avatar 2’ So Long Ago She Thought It Already Got Released and Flopped: ‘It Hasn’t Come Out Yet?’
Can I infer from your comment that you haven’t seen it? It is much better than the original. With the emphasis on family, Cameron has raised the property from a fable to a drama. It is a better mix of color, fable, drama, action, politics AND family. I believe it succeeds on many dimensions. It looks like the naysayers focus on one thing and miss the contributions of the holistic film. The original was in fact two movies in one. The first half was a fable; the second half was action/ adventure. The sequel does not suffer from this dichotomy. And the introduction of the family storyline also does not suffer from an overly simplistic treatment. The individual personalities are well developed (probably contributing to the 3+ hour runtime).The sequel sounds even worse.
