What are you watching... cont'd

Silo, an apple series that reminds me of a movie have seen some years back, but can't remember the name.

This is more of a callback than something I'm watching now, but I remember this from "Robin of Sherwood" with Michael Praed (about 40 years ago):

"What has been woven cannot be unwoven."

Meanwhile, I have started watching "Danger Zone" (Taiwan, 2021), a police series with some grim elements and a little humor.

A performance by the magician Channing Pollock from some decades ago:

I'm back from the cinema - David Attenborough's 'Ocean'

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0wjxg0ex1o

Sir David, who will be 99 on Thursday, says: "After almost 100 years on the planet, I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea."

Everyone should see this film - world premiere in London 6th May 2025.

Hang on a minute. If you just saw it wouldn’t that have been the world premiere?🤔

"Ocean with David Attenborough" is a powerful documentary set to release in cinemas on May 8, 2025, coinciding with Attenborough's 99th birthday, focusing on the vital importance of ocean health and conservation..."

The world premiere was in London three days ago. The film was shown in Gothenburg on BioRoy cinema yesterday 8th May - only one performance.

"The World Premiere of OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH will take place at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London, on Tuesday 6 May, ahead of the film’s Global Cinema Event from 8 May."

I am sorry.😢 I misread the date for the World Premiere…my bad.🫢

Now you know what the documentary is about, probably Sir David Attenborough's last film, so very important. I think it should be used in schools to make young people aware of the situation, and also the possibilities - it's much up to them to restore what we have destroyed. It is not too late!

🤞 I know I am usually a “glass half full” kinda guy…but. It’s a small “but”, so I think we can “fix” what we’ve done thus far.👍

The other day I braced myself (having previously learned about some disgusting moments from reviews) and finally watched "Saltburn".

Great cast and beautifully and creatively filmed, but still it looked a lot like "Tom Ripley visits Brideshead."

Not sure what to make of the narrative frame. Not willing to watch it again just to figure that out.
