I am absolutely charmed by Cooking with Julia and Jaques. In later episodes, Julia (Child) is a bit tottering, and as always, messy and somewhat fussy about black, or white pepper and butter.
Jaques Pepín is so gracious and charming, telling her in one episode that she did a wonderful job cleaning the counter when most of what she cleared actually ended up on the floor. Mostly, they both do a dish with the same ingredients, and different techniques.
I watch not for the techniques and recipies as I do for the lovely interaction between them.

Re: What are you watching?
Netflix's Money Heist is on its last season, Season 5. The first five episodes were released this past September and the back half premieres Friday, Dec. 3, 2021. Truly a global phenomenon. Paved the way for Korea's Squid Game and other international productions, it's great to see all the worldwide talent having a global platform.
Wonderful behind-the-scenes documentary of the production of Season 5. DO NOT EVEN THINK OF WATCHING THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SEASON 5. Very creatively done and fun to see the passion and energy they put in. One set took six months to build, one scene took three weeks to shoot (Scene 22). Lots of fun.

The History of American Fear
An Interview with Horror Historian David J. Skal
Horror movies provide a secret history of modern times. All the great social cataclysms and traumas of at least the 20th century seem to have put in motion, decade by decade, new patterns in the kinds of entertainment we use to scare ourselves. And I think what we’re doing is processing unpleasant information in such a way that we don’t have to look at it too directly. It’s not exactly catharsis; I invented the term “catharsis interruptus,” which maybe describes it better as a half-remedy, a temporary coping mechanism for dealing with the conundrums and challenges and traumas of modern life. Something that at least gets us through the night.
In American silent cinema, there were often scary stories and terrifying characters, usually played by Lon Chaney, the famous “man of a thousand faces.” But they were always human beings, and if something seemed to be ghostly or supernatural, it had to be explained away as a criminal enterprise.
That wasn’t the case in Europe, where the early cinema embraced the outright fantastic from the very beginning — the trick films of Georges Méliès, for instance. And then there were the German expressionist classics like “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” and “Nosferatu” — which were not escapist entertainment, but rather self-conscious art films intended to embody metaphors about the Great War. In “Caligari,” you have this malignant authoritarian figure sending forth his sleepwalker to kill and be killed, just as untold numbers of soldiers had been in the Great War. And in the original promotion for “Nosferatu,” there was this idea that the vampire represented the cosmic vampire of war itself, which had drained the blood out of Europe.
The European and the American traditions came together at the beginning of the talkie era, when Universal Pictures produced “Dracula,” which was the very first time that Hollywood had taken a chance on an outright supernatural premise. Dracula was not a criminal; he was a 500 year old demon from hell. The film was a freak success. It came out in 1931, the worst year of the Great Depression, and literally saved Universal from bankruptcy, as did “Frankenstein,” which they brought out very quickly after they realized what a success they had on their hands with “Dracula.” So even though “Dracula” is not a polished or artistically innovative film — in fact, it really creaks — it’s still one of the most influential films Hollywood ever released because it opened up the dormant possibilities of the fantastic and the supernatural.

Re: What are you watching?
Thanks for the scoop. We watched this last Friday (it's on Youtube for free or you can rent it cheap, depending on the quality you desire. We did free and I don't feel I lost anything by it). That was a really good movie, loved Ms Ball's portrayal as a sassy, smart-as-a-whip young woman trying to help the cops catch a killer. And stunning, she is*. I wonder why it's not better known.orlylicious wrote: ↑Sun Oct 24, 2021 3:18 amLURED
In this sumptuous thriller by legendary filmmaker Douglas Sirk and featuring a bevy of classic stars of the silver screen, a serial killer is on the loose in London, luring young women into his web through ads placed in the personal column.
Scotland Yard's bait to ensnare the villain is a young American dance hall girl (played by a stunning Lucille Ball), who encounters a series of likely suspects, including the always dashing George Sanders as a sophisticated playboy and an unforgettable Boris Karloff as a mad fashion designer.
*Although George Sanders is nothing to sneeze at.

Ending Happy
A washed-up boxer is found dead at a nearby bordello. There are several suspects, motives, and signs of injury. But the medical examiner is having a hard time figuring out which blow was the actual cause of death.
The team investigates the death of Lorenzo 'Happy' Morales, a one-time ranked middleweight boxer who has fallen on hard times and is now living at Binky's Sugar Cane Ranch, a licensed brothel. Happy is found floating in the pool but the coroner is having a hard time coming up with a cause of death. Based on the evidence, they are able to prove that one of the girls hit Happy on the head with a crowbar, someone shot him through the throat with an arrow, another injected him with snake venom and finally, someone induced anaphylactic shock by exposing him to seafood in a most unique way. However, none of the evidence points definitely to which occurrence was the actual cause of death.

I'm a Game of Thrones fan, but found the rape scenes appalling. The only thing I will say for it, and it's not much, is that there was less of it as the series went on. I didn't like the gore either, and don't like it in anything, including horror, which I do enjoy.

Re: What are you watching?
I don’t have the same reaction to GoT that I do to, say, a modern thriller with bombs and blood. Those I don’t like, but GoT (and ALMOST* any other factionalized period of history) fascinates me, makes me ponder human nature more than recoil from the blood, and reminds me that life was nasty, brutish and short for most humans who have lived on our planet.
We’ve been lucky.

Re: What are you watching?
Yeah, well I loved GoT. The violence was certainly pushing well past most boundaries, but I do think it was central to showing the culture behind the events - as well as a cartoonish reflection of our own culture.Patagoniagirl wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 9:50 am My eldest has been watching Game of Thrones, so I've caught quite a few segments.

I even kept my cable subscription to (Murdoch owned) Foxtel online till the end played out - then the day after the last episode I spent an hour on the phone trying to get them to cancel my subscription (I succeeded, but it was hard work).
One of our best friends didn't really know what it was, but her niece and nephew would come to her house to watch on her better TV it while she worked upstairs. We were talking about it one day and she mentioned this, and I told her it was really soft core porn with extreme production quality. I think she had to have a discussion about it with the parents.

Re: What are you watching?
Watched the "Muppets Haunted Mansion" Halloween special tonight. Not the best thing they have ever done but Muppet fans and those who have gone on the Haunted Mansion ride at one of the Disney parks will enjoy it. Brief cameo by the late Ed Asner. Noted that there is only one Muppeteer left from the 1970s ensemble that did "The Muppet Show" (Dave Goelz aka The Great Gonzo). I feel old.
Also been watching some Halloween themed jazz cafe videos on Youtube. Good for relaxing if you are up late at night. Seems like new ones have been going up every few minutes since we have been back. Curious to see what they come up with for Thanksgiving.

Re: What are you watching?
There was one particular rape scene that bothered me — the one with Sansa Stark. Aside from the obvious, it bothered me because it was gratuitous. That particular event didn’t happen in the books. Well, it hasn’t happened yet, anyway, and might not ever happen if George R.R. Martin doesn’t get off his ass and finish the last book.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 10:44 am I'm a Game of Thrones fan, but found the rape scenes appalling.

I didn't like the gore either, and don't like it in anything, including horror, which I do enjoy.
But (and I think I may have mentioned this on the old ‘bow), other than the title, the names of the characters, and some common basic plot points, the story portrayed in the TV show doesn’t resemble the story in the books at all.

Re: What are you watching?
“Impeachment: American Crime Story" last week ranked 15th in the ratings for cable shows that day, tied with ESPN’s “Around the Horn” and MTV’s “Teen Mom.” While it might be who needs to see that story again, a huge part is an incredible change in viewing habits. FX from 92 million homes in 2016 to 76 million now. 19 minutes of ads don't help. Remember those days of three networks? There were advantages then, America has lost a key way for people to come together.
https://dnyuz.com/2021/11/01/the-tv-hit-that-wasnt/“Impeachment: American Crime Story": The TV Hit That Wasn’t
November 1, 2021 in News
***
The reason for its absence from the big streamers has to do with a deal worked out in 2016 by FX’s parent at the time, 21st Century Fox. For an undisclosed sum, the company sold the streaming rights to all editions of “American Crime Story” to Netflix. Both sides agreed that the series would be available exclusively on FX for roughly a year. From then on, Netflix would make it available to its subscribers.
The deal seemed reasonable to 21st Century Fox in 2016. Back then, cable was still a robust business, and viewers were still in the habit of watching a program at a certain time on a certain night of the week.
The first season of “American Crime Story,” about the O.J. Simpson case, premiered early in 2016 and was a big hit, although it was not available on any major streaming platform. At the time, video-on-demand technology was still emerging, and Netflix had 80 million subscribers, meaning it had less of a reach than FX, which was then available in 92 million households.
The pandemic accelerated the trend of viewers dropping cable subscriptions in favor of the watch-when-you-want experience of streaming. Netflix now has 213 million subscribers, and FX is available in 76 million homes.
Viewers accustomed to the largely commercial-free experience of streaming would have had a flashback to the days of traditional TV while watching the most recent episode of “Impeachment: American Crime Story” on Tuesday night. The roughly 80-minute show included five commercial breaks that took up 18 minutes and 25 seconds. A sixth commercial break, three minutes long, came between the final scene and the preview of the next week’s episode.

Re: What are you watching?
We found another great drama. I searched but couldn’t it in our topic.
Baptiste, a spin off of The Missing (which now I have to watch). Tchéky Karyo plays Juien Baptiste, a retired French detective whose life’s mission is to find the missing. A wise man who can get people to tell him things, sharp as a tack, Baptiste sums up situations at a glance (“I read people”). Season 1’s plot zigs and zags from Amsterdam to Belgium and back; Season 2, of which only three episodes have dropped, pops back and forth in time 14 months. It takes place in Hungary and the plot involves Orban-like politicians and the far-right’s Nazi-like campaign against immigrants.
Tucker did one of his shows recently from Hungary, with Orban. Is CPAC still having their convention there in 2022? Have the sheep found a new shepherd? Horrifying notion.![Eek :eek:](./images/smilies/eek.gif)
