Um no
Visitor Q - Movies on Google Play
Visitor Q is a 2001 Japanese erotic black comedy-horror film directed by Takashi Miike. It was filmed as the sixth and final part of the Love Cinema series ...
not my cuppa :what:
I certainly wouldn't apply the term 'erotic' to it. :shudder: Ichi The Killer is another one of Takashi's that is rather off the wall, but quite faithful to the manga.

Can recommend Takashi Kitano's Zatōichi from 2003 though. A great reboot in the classic samurai genre style of the 1950-60s. Try and watch it in Japanese and avoid the English dubbed version though.

Looks good and I like the cast


Both leads familiar from Downton Abbey for Joanne Froggatt and Game of Thrones for John Bradley.
I liked him in GofT

Nice to see Dune 2 out on Netflix. When I started watching I realized I'd forgotten lots.
Good feed nearfield on the 55" with the Momentum 4 headphones on, did not miss the theatre screen at all.
However waaaaaay too long at 3 hours for one sitting. So resumed tonight. The rewatch let me fill in details. Getting more and more engaged with Timothy C after seeing his turn as Henry 5 in The King

I gotta think Dune 2 is difficult to follow for those not familiar with the larger story
Still cracking good bit of work

damn I gotta wait til dec 2026 for Dune part 3 :cry:

On to the Outlaw King

Very dark filming - all natural light, candles, fireplaces, smokie halls with torches.....missing an OLED screen. Daylight scenes are excellent. Sucks having no money.... :fp:

It is but only for Aus viewers. I am on other forums as well and SBS is wonky for me right now but Youtube is working.
They are all survival experts unlike the first Season - one guy only has one hand, one is a god botherer, the most annoying one who could not stay cuz he missed his kids...and whinged about it on the diaries - he's gone tho :yayay: . One girl has a cochlear implant, one guy is 63..tough as nails. One girl is tree hugger that goes barefoot and naked when she can - too bad it's blurred out :naughty: ut
Unlike the first season there are trout around tho not in abundance. Good eels but not all catching them.
Paddymelons and wallabys for hunting. Surprised a handful of earthworms = a burger patty in protein.
Interesting bunch of shelters...some pretty sophisticated but it takes calories to build them, One girl out with a UTI .- She's married to another girl ...show too woke for the US I'd guess,,...she had a steady supply of fat trout from her fish trap....too bad.
It's set in Western Tasmania...they call it the Wild West and it is. We really enjoyed it,
