Great book

 

Stumbled across some of the old Arena programmes on BBC iPlayer.

Very different time (and aspect ratio) but pleasant viewing.

I started with the one on Two Tone records and just let it roll.

Chelsea Hotel episode is mad, and the Edward Hopper one was good I think but so much slower than modern programmes you needed to properly relax into it

 

Yep, you're right!

 

Thanks I’ll watch the Hopper one first
One of my favourite artists
I won’t have to justify why to you will I den??

 

Mussolini: Son of the Century on Sky, a lavish series on the revolutionary early days of Italian fascism and Mussolini's rise to power.

 

Not unless you're going to hurl abuse at him if he disagrees.

 

I like hoppers work, what you see is what you get. You don't have to get into the artists head, interpret the subtle hidden message, revel in the abstract forms, although I'm sure many will try. It's a picture.

 

I wanted to watch this one but I don't have Sky, have to wait 'til it comes on Prime or Netflix.

 

I'm half way through, it's the early 1920's before fascism was copied around Europe, peaky blinders era & style on a larger scale. Luca Marinelli plays Mussolini brilliantly, talks to camera and constantly shags.

 

Thanks, I'm wishing I could see it even more now.

 

Correct version should be,
only if I say it's crap, but can't/won't say why.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

Haven’t seen that but will give it a go, talking of Mussolini I did love the film “ tea with Mussolini “
Judy dench and maggie smith were simply different level…

 

I think that’s uncalled for to be honest and no idea why you thought you should put that.

 

You might have missed something then

 

Not at all
Amazing art

 

Really enjoyed Becoming Led Zeppelin (cinema).
Like a documentary narrated by the 3 remaining members using footage from late 60's as they were forming and breaking through.
Brilliant musicians and ground breakers. Their story was not how I was expecting it to be.
I was too young to fully appreciate them at the time. Loved hearing stuff I haven't listened to for decades.

 

That's why I use Youtube a lot, i've had some good sessions on there catching up with my youth.

 

There's a new series of White Lotus out, and unsurprisingly it's had decent reviews. Looking forward to that one.

 

Never seen it but my Mrs absolutely loved it, one reason I didn’t watch, normally her tips are absolutely dog poo. She loves those awful yank tv movies

 

Went to pics to see the Led Zep documentary
Underwhelming
Interesting and very technical
Especially Jimmy Page and JPJ
But the doc stops in 1970!!
