I watched the last few episodes of Tales From the Loop. It was a pretty interesting show that I completely missed when it came out. I'm glad someone told me about it.

For movies, I finished up Dil To Pagal Hai, which I started last week. I'm working my way through all of SRK's films.

I watched Green Card, which was fine, if entirely predictable. I also don't get why people find Gérard Depardieu attractive.

Evil Under the Sun was good, because I always enjoy Poirot.

I watched Dark Star because it was an early John Carpenter film. It was not good.

I watched Stalag Luft mostly because it starred Stephen Fry. I liked it! Classic British humor.

Killer Heat was an interesting modern take on noir.

Sirocco from 1951 barely held my attention. It felt like a Casablanca wannabe. Maybe I'm not giving it a fair shake. Feel free to make a case for it.

I also watched Tokyo Joe, which I liked slightly more, but again, it felt like the studio was just thinking, "we have Humphrey Bogart, what should we do with him?" And then just slapped together another vaguely Casablanca-esque film and plopped him into it.

I had no idea what to expect from Lost in Yonkers. It was... Fine.

Somehow I had never seen When the Wind Blows before. Fantastic animation style, and I really like the blending of live action footage with traditional animation. That ending though. Fuck me.
