"The Menu" (2022). It's on HBO and I normally only recommend titles off the standard streaming platforms...
It is a semi-comedic horror film. These guests go to an exclusive private island to be served a diner. It not very gory, but the crazy chef expects his underlings to shout "YES CHEF!!". So maniacal as I believe Gordon must be in person.
I loved it. Just watched it for the second time. I loved the ending.
s'mores.

This YouTube Channel I find fascinating (Dr Sledge is a victim of the Satanic Cult Scare of the 1980s):

Last night we finished the 2nd season of "Hope Street" a police show set in Northern Ireland on Britbox.
It ended with multiple cliffhangers but the BBC hasn't yet decided about a third series.
Considering all the things that happen to the show's characters it should be called "No Hope Street".

We just finished River, a 5 episode mini series on Britbox from 2015. Stellan Skarsgård is John River, a detective whose work partner was murdered in front of his eyes (except for the truck that drove by as she was shot).
He sees dead people. His dead partner is rather unhelpful in the investigation but she has her reasons.
It’s complicated but very good.

Sounds a bit like a 1969-1971 UK show shown on PBS in the US as My Partner The Ghost, UK title Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).

Watched a couple of episodes of History of the World, Part II on Hulu.
meh... not impressed. Isn't as funny as the movie was. Not even close in my opinion. Unless I've just become a dried out husk of a human with no sense of humor.

I had the same reaction, Jez. It was kind of disappointing because I loved the movie.

I am on the 5th episode of the 2nd season of Bridgerton.
I seem to like it.
The reviews of the 2nd season were somewhat lower than the 1st, but I think it is very good. The Whistledown intrigue is entertaining.
It is a change from my usual diet of action movies and supernatural flicks.

I am on the 5th episode of the 2nd season of Bridgerton.
So far only one, which is very relevant to the story line. Much unlike season 1. (Okay, maybe two, but the other was shorter, less significant.)
In some ways, season 2 is better than season 1, though I thought season 1 was good.
I'm calling it quits this evening at the start of the last episode (8) of season 2.
So there was a lot in season one? Hmmm....
Glad you're enjoying it!!
Finished season 2 of Bridgerton. One more sex scene in the final episode, a nice one to wrap things up. So I think that makes three for the 2nd season.
I did some brief searching. Some places list 16 sex scenes in the 1st season and provide a ranking of them. Actors said the scenes were carefully choreographed and rehearsed.
Anyay, I liked Bridgerton.

The Julie Andrews narration is wonderful. Anything with Julie
On a JetBlue flight, rewatched about half of Victor/Victoria. If you haven't seen it in a while (or if you've never seen it) it's a wonderful, hilarious film with a stunning cast and a terrific spirit. One of my favorite films.

The Gentlemen written and directed by Guy Ritchie is superb! If you like Guy Ritchie's Snatch or Sherlock Holmes or Rock n Rolla, you will like this action comedy.
Hugh Grant is almost unrecognizable. His performance equals Brad Pitt's in Snatch.
It's on Netflix.

Diana Rigg was my first TV hottie love back in the 60's. Imagine my disappointment when she appeared on Game of Thrones more recently. I had to take a hard look in the mirror. (sad_face)

Funny, I was shocked by her appearance in Mother Love, from the early 1990s. I didn't recognize her on Doctor Who as Gillyflower until I noticed the credits.
