I've never even heard of this one. I may just check it out. The only movies from the 1920's and 1930's that I have on dvd/bluray are "Battleship Potemkin", "Triumph of the Will" and "Alexander Nevsky".

I watched the last two seasons of Turn on Netflix. As a TV show it's not bad. Keeps up the suspense and has some villains that you love to hate. It does start getting really silly by the 4th season. While it may be in a historical setting, they play awfully loose with the facts. Over the course of the series a few of the characters have some fairly good arcs. It's only 4 seasons total.

I watched the first season but got bored by the season finale. That honestly surprised me since I'm a big student of military history so I figured "Turn" would be a perfect series for me. I think in retrospect the series was too "soap operaish" for me.

There's a local TV station over the antenna that airs noir genre films every sunday night from the 30s and 40s, often converted to widescreen format, and it happened to be on one evening and I saw it. Good film. Many of the pictures from that era a great.
LOL Apparently NFB has never heard of the language called "Spanish".

This 7 episode show starts on Apple TV today. I predict every episode is them running from cops and then wait a year for season 2 for some answers to all your questions. Hard Pass!
Just watch the super-boring movie with the same title starring Harrison Ford.

Too many TV series you invest time to watch and then they stick you with wait until next season bull. Then after a year of waiting it's more questions than answers. The worse is when the show gets killed after only one season.

Production schedules for now will be slower than normal until the COVID thing totally blows over. As for the cancellations, it's part of life. If a show isn't getting the necessary viewer numbers to justify the budget, it will be cancelled. That goes for both streaming services and the traditional cable and tv networks.

So do I but only if there's a good reason for it being slow. I don't like slow movies automatically just because they're slow.

Started to watch 'Rocketman', the Elton John biopic on Netflix. Camp schmaltz. Not very inclusive or 'woke' of me, I went back to the 'home page' due to the gay lovemaking scenes which I find distasteful and somewhat gut-churning.

I've not seen it and I've also not seen "Bohemian Rhapsody" the Queen biopic. It seems rock star biopics are the big hot thing now due to the success of both of those films.
