smokingbootTurning away from the news. I'll look at it another day, to see if there is any difference between this summer's 'Stop the boats' and the old Irish/Black/Asian/Gay bewwwaaaaare nonsense of yesteryear. Not expecting much.
It's strange to me that those teeny FB reels of Game of Thrones are so much better than the series. Google tells me the whole thing was about 67 hours long. If you put all the best bits together I reckon there's a fine trilogy to be made, each about three hours at most. A different ending might be needed cos Bran the Boring did not making for a thrilling finale.
Drawn by the presence of two impressive GOT actors, I tried The Rig, but not for long. If I wanted badly written horror I'd go back to And Just Like That.
Watched The Fall by Tarsem. Hmm. It belongs to a genre I don't quite have a name for, something like but not exactly a successor to Magical Realism. The Fisher King is one, as is Big Fish and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. While I love this kind of film, they're often just too long.
The Fall suffers from the same problem. It's not like anything else, differing even from others in the same category, and it's much more clever than say Munchausen. But is it just a well crafted pile of rubbish? Still not sure. This is the trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZtQH_cwTOw
