Final episode of Untold was a snoozer. I don't think I'm in the minority when I say very few people follow yacht racing. Hard to get the emotions going in such a documentary when it's something I can't fathom the pride in. Meh.

I thought it was actually pretty good. Dont get me wrong, I'm with you 100% on who gives half a crap about the the New York Yacht Loser Society.

But some weirdo Aussies sticking it to some uptight rich-bitch Yachters?

Thats really the beauty of 'Untold' is that it tells me a story about something that happened even if it involved a sport I really couldnt care less about.

Like...Football, Yachting, Tennis, Basketball, etc.

Yachting? The 'Americas Cup' the longest single winning streak in sporting history? Give me a goddamned break. Those people have breathed in their own farts for so long they must be dying of methane poisoning or something.

Get them going full-speed and then everyone with a monocle goes overboard.

I guess the documentary does touch on that but it was just hard to pay attention to. I don’t follow tennis or football but those somehow got me hooked in. This one was more like, “the world isn’t watching, it’s friends and family of the rich who are…and sponsors”. Just not a story of a little guy sticking it to the man when so many rich dollars are involved. Big meh from me.

The Cyberpunk 2077 anime is pretty good.

TV series. It's really good but really disturbing at parts.

That first 30 minutes was probably the most intense I've felt in a movie/series, ever. Drawn out minute by minute to the point I wasn't sure how I could possibly watch 10 episodes being only 5% in.


Just finished the whole thing and very well done. I really don't know how true it was to the real story, but as a story and trying to look at things from all angles, seeing the victims in the aftermath, and the genesis of the guy, the full thing gets a 10/10 from me. Netflix has severely lacked the past while but this was very well done.

Its amazing, but I'll still say that 'The Bear' is the visceral TV experience available right now.

Blonde was just awful. Couldn’t finish it.

Been watching Dahmer and almost embarrassed to admit it. It is just disturbing and honestly I feel a little creepy for watching it.

I tried to watch this new infinity doc but I don’t have enough drugs in my system to get the most out of it. I’m gonna have to take some shrooms or acid and try again. From what I saw, it was pretty cool.
