As a spin-off from the DVD/Movies topic, I thought it might be an idea to set up a post where we could make film and television recommendations to see us all through the lockdown.

For me (and I’ll keep editing and adding to this as I think of more titles):

Films on Blu-ray/DVD:

Parasite, Joker, anything by Jim Jarmusch, anything by David Lynch, collections of the original Looney Tunes cartoons, 

NetFlix:

The Studio Ghibli collection, Ugly Delicious, Somebody Feed Phil, Midnight Diner (Tokyo Stories), Miles Davis (Rebirth of the Cool), The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Dark Tourist...

 

I recommend this show to anyone who'll listen - Babylon Berlin. It's an excellent period piece/crime drama set in Berlin in the 1920's and 30's, with all of the social and political unrest you'd expect. Season 3 just dropped on Netflix, it's in German but there's an English dub (which is terrible, subtitles are much better IMO).

I recently watched both seasons of After Life on Netflix... brilliant.

Have been watching the first season of What We Do in the Shadows, downloaded on Foxtel... not as good as the film, but still very enjoyable.

Currently watching Ken Burns' Country Music on DVD and Twin Peaks Seasons 1 & 2 on Blu-ray disc.

Recently finished watching the His Dark Materials Season 1 on Blu-ray disc... very very good; much better than the movie version of the Golden Compass.

Watched The Lighthouse and The Peanut Butter Falcon, which are both brilliant films!

You want a laugh? Trailer Park Boys is my go to series on Netflix in these dire times. Saw it years ago and pi**ed myself laughing. Now rediscovered it and now up to watching season 12 .

I reckon I binged Trailer Park Boys up until around 2016 I think it's time to get onto it again. 

I recently watched Space Force on Netflix, that was a good laugh.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
