True Detective: Night Country: Part 1 (2024)
More stupid men and amazing women...
It's getting tiresome now, genuinely tiresome. I'm not bothered about female leads, it's fine. What's not fine is the endless procession of series and movies where the women are ALWAYS incredible and the men simply exist to make them look good. Every man stands around with his jaw slack, marvelling at the stunning competence of the female leads. The women overpower the men in physical battles. The men are evil. Good Lord, can they not change the record? I can accept that SOME women may be able to overpower or mentally best SOME men. But not on every single occasion in every single production. They only way they will learn to strike a realistic balance is if we refuse to watch. Off it goes.

Love a bit of Jeremy...
Covers lots of hypocrisy (and let's face it - there's a lot of it about) and ridiculousness in modern society. Calm delivery mostly, very watchable.
Elephant (2020)
Syrup syrup syrup
Visually splendid, of course, but hate the narration. I mean it is so ridiculously full of syrup it is scarcely believable. And incredibly distracting I'm afraid. Also found that the music is overwhelming but that is so common nowadays, unfortunately.
