velo army Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I'm a massive classical music fan (my team: Partick Thistle....etc) so I was quite excited to watch "Beethoven's 9th; Symphony for the world" and it was just utter shite. I don't know why I'm surprised because Netflix documentaries are just dumbed down shite anyway (aside from the very occasional decent feature like "battered b*****ds of baseball"), but I at least expected a wee bit of showing your working. "To unravel this piece we have to travel to China"...fucking why!?!?! He never had any connections with this country, but sure, I'll hang on. Cue a wee talking head piece by a Chinese film composer who has written a piece inspired by the 9th. He proceeds to say how he can hear Beethoven in the rhythms of traffic. I imagine this is to try and make me see how universal this piece is, but it's the musical equivalent of thon tumshies who see the face of Jesus in their toast. It doesn't help me "unravel" this piece at all and offers no insight beyond "there's a man who lives in China who also likes this piece". And the thing is, there's nothing much to "unravel" as it's not the most difficult piece to get or enjoy. The finale is universally loved and recognised. Classical music, like all other music, is meant to be enjoyed rather than solved. I'd love to hear what Beethoven intended with this piece, or what he thought of Schiller's words to his music, but we don't get that. We get a pile of unrelated fluff. Lesson learned. If I want to watch a documentary on classical music it'll be BBC, PBS or one of the foreign channels. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume she’s up to no good and her scheme involves bad acting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Florida Man. Light hearted crime caper about a man with a beard who has an impossibly beautiful ex wife (who is a cop), and has a thing going with his boss’ astonishingly beautiful girlfriend (she was an Australian supermodel in real life). “Borrows” very heavily from the tone of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen IMO. Boss is a gangster. Beardy boy’s dad is a crooked cop. Guns, gators and double crossing galore. Quality fluff.

++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 finished the last 2 episodes of Beef, and I've got to say, it took a hell of a dark turn. The last episode is weird AF. I genuinely enjoyed that, as its something different to my usual genre, and I see its down as just a limited series and was pitched as a complete idea, so probably no sequel, which I'm absolutely fine with. 8.5 / 10 for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 The Diplomat was a pretty solid political thriller. Keri Russell was excellent in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The summerhouse one from about a decade ago or the one from a few years back? Cracking tv show. Gets a wee bit silly near the end of the latest one but still top drawer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya get me brudren? Modie is class, best performance imo. I'll presume you know he's a famous rapper as is Sully? Yeah Jaque is amazing. Lemmie know when you get onto the next season I think the first of the ones you're watching is class and relativley authentic and then the next one is entertaining but almost like a parody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I know Sully. Link 'em - and then leave 'em high. I've been tellin' all my man's for time. Never knew it about Modie. Come across a few boys like him. He just annoys me. About half way through S2. Jaq just keeps getting better but you're right about parody. It seems to be the way when these shows try to go international. Only really Gamorrah ever succeeded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his character was a p***k but much needed imo. Have you met Pebbles yet, the worst character in TV history... I've yet to watch Gamorrah is it worth a watch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
