I am dying to watch Rogue One now but need to sleep for work tomorrow.
DAMMIT!
Mike Birbiglia makes me hate comedy. I wouldn't even call his new special comedy.
What is it with Netflix comedians talking about themselves, their families and all this positive personal crap they talk about. Even Bill Burr did it in his last special. I'm glad he is a changed person but I'm solely watching as an escape from our shitty reality. Comedy is my crutch when I'm having a bad day or decade.
Organa seemed to have more power than her in the decision making. Don't know how he escaped the Senate after giving the floor to her. He was complicit so the Empire should've arrested him too.deal with putting the rebellion together tomorrow!

Interesting bit about why they didn't bring back Jimmy Smit: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1250670169750058
I really want Genevieve to appear in some other TV series or movie with high production values (maybe Apple).
i watched
Il Posto ("The Sound Of Trumpets", but more accurately, "The Job" or "The Position") - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055320/reference/
this is the sort of stuff that @zinfamous would like to sink his teeth in. It's not neorealism, but .. it is?
1961 B&W Italian-language film about the mysery of the late 50s economic boom in italy; Domenico is a young man from a small city outside of Milan, looking to get a job in a big corporation. He is subject to a series of baffling, humiliating tests, to assess if he is suitable for the position. While shy young Domenico is looking for friendship, maybe even love, the people around him care very little for him. He is eventually assigned a temporary position where he just sits on a chair, waiting for work that never comes. When the job finally arrives, it's clear to the protagonist that he is meaningless in the italian bureaucratic machine.
Directed by Ermanno Olmi, this is some of his best work, as the film is stronger visually than in plot or dialogue. You may remember my review of Il Mestiere Delle Armi, which i criticized mostly because of the horrible photography.
Cinematographer Lamberto Caimi's career fell to the side when he started working in cheaper comedies, but Il Posto is certainly more interesting visually than, say, Solaris.
Would i recommend it to a foreigner? Probably. You need to accept that you'll be watching mostly some interesting camera work, and the subtle critique of italian society will go over your head.
6.5/10
That could describe the situation in my job. The first two years was trying to prove that I was useful. Situation now is that they begrudgingly accept my presence and utility but almost zero appreciation for my efforts. I would quit immediately but I don't know where else I should go. Not aware of any country that would accept with open arms a 44 year old migrant who just wants to live in peace.1961 B&W Italian-language film about the mysery of the late 50s economic boom in italy; Domenico is a young man from a small city outside of Milan, looking to get a job in a big corporation.
