On anothe rnote, a series i am watching that i highly recommend is 'Babylon Berlin' on Netflix - a fantastic dark detective drama set in final years of the Weimar Republic - all the intrigues and the differing secretive political revolutionary factions against the cosmopolitan weimar culture


I don't have cable where I'm now, so I'll earmark this one and put it in the "to be watched" bucket. It sounds really interesting.

Status: offline 		I watched "You Were Never Really Here". Joaquin Phoenix playing a very damaged war veteran/abused-when-he-was-a-child-guy who does "wet works" for powerful people - mostly rescuing teen and pre-teen girls from prostitution rings. Phoenix is great, and the editing, with brusque, blink-and-you-miss-it, flashbacks of his suppressed memories, really conveys the idea of a broken mind. Only his "jobs" save him from suicide.

I'm bit amazed by the fact that so many reviews, even those praising the movie, missed the gigantic subtext hidden in plain view. Ah, well, to each his own.

JPhoenix is really great in a role where he must convey a whole spectrum of contrasting emotions with, maybe, 400 words (not lines) of dialogue for his character in the whole movie. He totally deserved the "Best Actor" prize at Cannes.

Where are you with regards to reading and watching?

I am at the beginning of series two. I took a break from watching because I was annoyed with a minor detail. Then other stuff got in the way of resuming it.

I am, I think, at the last third of the second book. I reached a slower part of the book and went over to the historical book I read at the same time, and the break was to long for me to feel motivated to jump back into a slow part.

I usually read one fictional book and one historical book at the same time. Usually I manage it by keeping a faster tempo with the fictional book. When the reverse happens it is not uncommon for me to take a longer break with the fictional book.

Best sci fi show out there right now. Its head and shoulders above anything else on the Syfy channel.

Just started on Marvel Agent Carter. Love Hayley Atwell in this and Pillars of the Earth.

I'll take a look at it soon. Thank you for sharing.

Historia Civilis made a very nice video about this battle.

Maybe the best drama show ever. Many others followed, but The Wire opened the road.
