So what about some of the best tv shows of all time? Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under ... you never even watched them?

Never.

Dial M For Murder

The first from the Hitchcock-Kelly "trilogy". Still, I definitely like "To Catch a Thief" most, then "Rear Window" and then "Dial M for Murder".

Finally watched the romantic/comedy movie Olympic Dreams. Not really a great piece of cinema, but for Olympic fans it should be at least an interesting film because you get a real sense of what it's like to be in the Olympic village. I just wish the story would be more noteworthy and not so much improvised. Filmed during Pyeongchang 2018, it brings a lot of cameos by athletes including one more proeminent role by Gus Kenworthy.

 

It's an okay film to watch if you don't have anything else to do.

 

Spoiler

I'm particularly pleased by the truthful portrait of a dentist, which you almost never see in movies

 

(and also gave me a tiny bit of hope that one day I can volunteer as such)

Is it on the Olympic Channel, or do I have to go elsewhere to watch it? I’m a bit worried after your review, but as long as there’s stuff look at in the village and whatnot, I’ll be slightly interested. We generally have similar tastes it seems, so I can stomach this hopefully.

Do you think there's a more proper movie/musical/opera... whatever piece of art for Easter than:

I always watch DJesus Unchained, but I know it’s been criticized as highly sac religious. I think that if you can’t find the humor in religion (even if it is your own), then your missing out on the highs of life.

Nah, Jesus Christ Superstar. Even the non-religious kids liked that one at my high school.

[heywoodu 15,145]

I've never seen Jesus Christ Superstar and since it's described as a 'rock opera' and/or musical, I highly doubt I ever will

 

I did see Passion of the Christ and that was kinda fun, so that one. The scene of his flesh being ripped out reminded me of Pirates of the Caribbean where (spoiler alert)

The original JCS from the 70s (or whenever) is wack. My generation loves it. I found it highly enjoyable even though I’m not into the material.
