Exactly my girlfriend's perspective. I haven't seen Inventing Anna yet. Inventing Anna isn't a great show or even a great story. Julia Garner's portrayal of that whackjob is really impressive, however. The show is worth seeing. It's interesting to watch it all unfold. I know the story, so I haven’t had much interest in seeing a dramatization, but may have to change my mind.

Bateman, Linney and the little blonde firecracker have been award-winning…. Only eight episodes left and can’t wait to see how it ends…. Hard to keep a good thing going…. Ruth fucking Langmore rules.
And that girl is a great actress. She was totally someone else in Inventing Anna.
Absolutely! She has inspired me to use the word "fuckall" at least once a day.

After posting about dumping ESPN+ but keeping Hulu on the GDT,
I've gotta say, Hulu/FX's Welcome to Wrexham is fantastic. Really amazing and well done documentary series.

I finally watched Taboo after the algorithm pushed it at me for months. I probably wouldn’t have bothered if I had known it was only eight episodes and that it’s now five years old. I didn’t hate it. Tom Hardy was good but a lot of it went nowhere and it felt a little too much like a Peaky Blinders prequel.

I know it's kind of available on YouTube, but some good old friend of mine got me the box set, and it's simply great. Yes I know, the show is almost 60 years old, but IMHO it's top tier TV. David Janssen and Barry Morse were fantastic. I had watched some episodes as a kid in Germany, with German audio. Proves my point that they shouldn't dub anything: they never get the voice actors right, and I bet the translation was awful too (don't remember much about it, but I've seen it with other shows).
And of course this line had to come: They don't make them like that anymore...

Did they ever catch the one armed man?!

Did they ever catch the one armed man?! They did, in the final episode "The Judgment"
Here's a funny story: In an interview with TV Guide given around the time of the series finale, David Janssen stated that his idea for the ending was to have Kimble sitting on the beach, reading about the execution of the One-Armed Man in the newspaper.
Then he would get up, detach his prosthetic arm and walk off into the sea...

Tarantinos 3 desert island movies. Don't agree with him but some good choices just not great ones.

Tarantinos 3 desert island movies. Don't agree with him but some good choices just not great ones. Rio Bravo is okay. So is Taxi Driver. But not two movies I would pick. Don't agree with his assessment of Brian DePalma. I think he's hit-and-miss. "Mission To Mars" was extremely bad, for instance. "Quanten" Tarantino is a weird guy, and apparently he relishes being a weird guy ("Quanten" is colloquial German for "Feet", and as Brad Pitt recently mentioned, Tarantino has "separated more women from their shoes than the TSA".)

DePalma has definitely had some great HITs and bad misses. Nice comeback with MI One. Big fan of Blow Out, Scarface and Dress to Kill. Uma called Tarantino out for the dangerous situations he put her in. Most artists are out there. But I love his body of work. No formal training but boy can Tarantino right a great script. To each his own. Art house and Independent films are more up my alley. And that is definitely what he produces. Odd quirky twisting flicks.

Quite a good movie with one of Tarantino's favorite actors (Harvey Keitel) in a smaller role. And I do like Rio Bravo. Didn't like Dressed To Kill.
I like some Tarantino movies (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Inglourious Basterds) and I don't like some (Kill Bill 1&2). Probably watched PF at least a dozen times (so that could be one of my choices for the three movies on a remote island). One thing I must say is that he writes great dialogue, and sometimes great scripts too. (And the toe & Tequila sucking scene with Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn was most definitely his idea.)
Haven't watched his latest 3 offerings yet (Django Unchained, Hateful 8 - is that a docu about Ovechkin? - and OUATIH). His next movie should be interesting, not just because he plans to retire after shooting it.

I didn't like the KillBills either. Didn't even finish them. Definitely watch the last three. Great dialog.

Yes for sure, the dialogue in his movies is unreal, where he comes up with it is beyond me, brilliant.

I've been watching this long-running series, it's got great characters and the production value is right up there...wish they had a better narrator but got to see this series, with upward to 82 to 100 episodes a year is one helluva a ride.

Sergio Leone? Maybe "Once Upon A Time in America". Don't really care for his spaghetti westerns. Okay, I get what you're doing, Fiddy. Leone's movies tend to be ultra-long. So you might squeeze as much entertainment as possible out of them. SMART! "The Shawshank Redemption" would probably be one of my picks. Then maybe "Pulp Fiction". But ask me again tomorrow, I might pick something else.

The storyline is interesting on it's face, like any story about false imprisonment, but the characters are awful, IMO. The whole thing always seems lazy and corny to me. No offense of course -- I like lots of movies that others probably hate, and vice-versa.
