Films

Since I won't be watching the golf tonight, I have a few films lined up instead. Once upon a time in Hollywood, Zombieland double tap, and Midway.
 
Watched this last night. Mrs Wedge is a nurse and had been recommended it. Wow, talk about close to home, made for some restless sleep last night.

Just watched Midway, was decent watch to be fair and as recent war films go I'd put it above 1917 for both story and keeping you watching.

I'd agree with that but I feel in hindsight the nature of 1917, keeping at least one of the main 2 in frame at all times, seriously limits the ability to add complexity to the storyline.
 
OK I am not usually a film person but Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was way ahead of its time for 1984! Has Greta seen it?


All the Studio Ghibli films are being delivered to Netflix over a 3 month period (if they're not all already up). Miyazaki made some excellent films. Nausica is one, Sen to Chihiro (Spirited Away) is fabulous, as are Howl's Moving Castle, Tottoro, Princess Mononoke and Laputa Castle in the Sky. They are are all worth a watch. I'm not an anime fan specifically, but got into Ghibli films when we were living in Japan and the boy was very young, they were pretty much played on the DVD player every day at the time.
 
Did anyone sign up to the Disney thing?
They didn’t really explain that well what it is. Is it all movies at a flat rate? Is there anything else to it? Are there movies missing? Is it stream on demand or is there a schedule?

If you find out can you post please. My daughter wants this during the lock down. She may be 17 but a bit of Disney would do us all good right now, and I want to see The Mandalorian as well.
