Seven Kings Must Die (Last Kingdom Collection) on Netflix

Blackboard Jungle (1951).

Not streaming but borrowed the DVD of the OR “Shaft” from the library. Could have sworn I saw it in the theater but then realized it had an R rating so back in ‘71 I would’ve needed an adult to buy my ticket. Purdy sure that didn’t happen. Nonetheless, it was the epitome of “Blackpoltation”(sp?). Stereotypes abound!

Beef, guess what frank, I'm on the last episode. Sort of a keep you guessing series.

Gets better frank.

Finished Beef and Florida Man.

2 gooduns.

^^^ Great series.

Barry looks promising.

I'm one episode past the wild Las Vegas one in Beef and really staring to like this.

I don’t know if it’s just a West Coast thing but I believe as most Asians acculturate, their “Old World” values wane, especially with 2nd generation or those that came over while very young and only know life in America. Heck, now that I think about it, it’s not just an Asian thing. Every ethnic group, regardless of their origins, goes through this.

But back to the things that made me laugh.

- George’s mother, Fumi. Her horrendous make-up! Is that what widows of successful Asians look like? And of course her condescending attitude to her Chinese DIL.

- Amy - her stress / anxiety caused by her perceived lack of success or the need to be successful to gain acceptance by her MIL

- Danny - his filial piety towards his parents is SOOOOO Asian! Works extremely hard, no matter how chitty the job may be. Reminds me of the 1st generation Japanese that came to Hawaii as contract workers. Once their plantation days were over, they did what they hadda do to survive and make money.

I don’t know if Koreans are viewed as lower class laborers ‘cause that’s typically not the case in Hawaii. It seems that most of the Koreans that immigrated here are highly motivated to either get a good education (…for themselves or their kids…) or make a lot of money so they’re not apt to accept entry level jobs.

I’ll need to watch a couple more episodes to really get a grasp on each of the characters but I like what I’ve seen so far.

Just started watching Blacklist. The main actress is pretty bad but James Spader is just SO good he's worth tolerating her. Lol

finished Beef...very glad we didn't quit on it.

Watched the first episode of night agent on Netflix. Looks good so far.

Night Agent great series.
Finished Florida Man.

you won't regret it frank.

Started Diplomat.

Great episode of Barry tonight.

Halo. I've never played the game but I'm at episode 5 in the series and its pretty descent.

The Big Sleep (1946)

Are there naked boobs..??

^ Rewatched last night myself.

Cheers.

Finished season one of Tin Star. Wow, that was dark fun in an 'Ozark' kind of way...

Anyone who watched S2, is it worth continuing or does it go downhill?

Yes, and season 3, yes, it is very dark.
