Wow, sounds interesting. Depressing, but worth a try. Netflix?

Re: Netflix junkie
I'm not sure that's true... The story is a fascinating one, but I'm not sure it supports their final thesis. The villain of the main story is the fraudulent insurance salesman in Houston, who sold policies without any ability to back them up. The film made him such a tiny piece of the puzzle that we never even saw him, but really that's where things went off the rails, not with the offshore companies.

Re: Netflix junkie
Finished watching Breaking Bad last night (for the first time).
I think it took about a month to watch them all?
I was led to it by the movie, which did not make a lot of sense to me in parts because I had no background or context for it.
Last night I rewatched the movie within 15 seconds after the series ended. Made far more sense this time around.
Did anyone else notice that the Todd character seemed to have put on about 50 pounds? So, the movie was expanding upon some of the scenes in the series but the character looked at least 50 pounds heavier for the same time period. It looked like he'd put on a ton of weight in the intervening five or so years.
Jesse also seemed heavier. And, his beard was definitely longer from the end scene of the series which was the beginning scene of the movie.
Jane, though, looked remarkably the same even though there was a ten year difference between her dying in season 2 and then being in this movie.

Re: Netflix junkie
Regarding Jesse Plemon’s (Todd’s) weight, he had to gain a lot of weight for Fargo and, I think, other roles.
Great actor. I love him in one episode of Black Mirror, too.
As for Aaron Paul (Jesse), his weight might just be the result of success.

Yes, there were some cruel nicknames on social media. Originally Meth Damon (B.B.) and then Fat Damon (Fargo).

In the movie he almost looks like a blimp version of his series self.

Re: Netflix junkie
I saw 1917 recently; it was excellent. The first movie in years that made me want to go to a theater and take it in. It fits in perfectly with my current focus on World War I.
It's shot in the same style as Birdman, which I thought was just cool as hell.

You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.

Re: Netflix junkie
Btw, Smith, it looks like I never answered your q above about Iliza. It wasn't War Paint. Can't remember the title.

Re: Netflix junkie
Her last one was just okay... I was honestly a little disappointed. Still good, just not great.

Re: Netflix junkie
If you like cats (big ones) and crazy people, Tiger Kings is a very interesting limited docu-series.
It’s completely crazy.

Re: Netflix junkie
The Dirty Gold episode of Dirty Money is quite interesting. Some people are just fearless.
I’d read about NTR Metals and Elemetal in a Bloomberg Article but this is way more interesting.
I’ll edit in a tantalizing screenshot later, and then you’ll notice this post.

Re: Netflix junkie
As a reader I ALWAYS use subtitles. And am greatly disappointed when they are not available. They put a ton in the subtitles that is impossible to hear in the dialogs.

What Happened to Monday
Not normally the type of movie I'd choose to watch. But I am glad that I did!
A+!
