Oh My God! I cannot put into words how amazing what I just saw was. If you can only see one movie this year, I wholeheartedly recommend “Won’t You Be My Neighbor”. Master fucking class in cinema. I know I’ve been highly critical of the movie industry this year, but that film saved the entire year for me. I rarely, and I mean rarely, give out a perfect score, but today is a historical day. “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” 10/10! The camera angles, shots, pans 10/10. The acting 15/10. Tom Hanks pulls off another amazing piece of art. Every other actor carries their weight too. The story itself 12/10. The writing 15/10. I have never wanted a movie to win best picture more. If this film isn’t nominated and given the honor it will be an outrage. The interesting thing is that it is the exact opposite of Joker. The Oscars could quite literally be a battle between the light-side and the dark-side this year. I seriously hope that all of you get the chance to watch the film. There’s much more I’d love to say, but spoiling it for y’all would be unfair.

 

But Won't You Be My Neighbour is a 2018 documentary, definitely not with Tom Hanks. It's cool if you recommend movies to people, but it'd be more than helpful if you actually give the name of the movie as well :p 

 

I'm assuming it's this one.

Dammit, I never get titles confused. Yes, that is the one and I’m dumb.

The documentary is also very good and goes well with the movie by the way.

I really like the history videos this guys does. More people would appreciate history if it was taught in this fashion.

Watchmen has to be the greatest show of all-time. Mind = Blown.

I don’t want to start anything, but this definitely a skit about @brunamoura and @heywoodu right?

I haven't watched it, but this take still seems rather "creative" in my mind ...

It's rating on IMDb isn't great and after all it is a show about superheroes ...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7049682/

Have you watched "The Boys" yet? Based on the reviews many people seem to think that Watchmen isn't even the best TV show about superheroes currently running.

I have to say that for me there currently isn't much going on when it comes to TV shows. Curb, Fargo, Rick & Morty, True Detective, Modern Family and Better Call Saul are all on a break and for me there really isn't a "must-watch" TV show right now (although many seem to consider "Stranger Things" just that). I just finished watching "Fleabag" and it was ok (better than must other current shows), now i am watching "Vikings" and it is quite entertaining, despite being far worse quality-wise than shows like "The Sopranos", "The Wire" or "Breaking Bad" (but i guess that is true for 99 % of all shows).

    • My guess is Women’s football is where we will see some players refusing to go to the Olympics in protest at having to take a test. Feels like that’s one here they are some biological women who would do that. Maybe a few others    Could be the odd country where legal or political challenges cause issue for events. Particularly ones where local authorities have more power as urban ones where majority of sporting event are held more likely to be left wing and liberal.
