How about a movie thread?

Will be watching the last two episodes of John le Carré's The Night Manager later today. Pretty good so far.

Where are you watching it? I Checked Netflix, Hulu and AMC On Demand and came up empty. Meanwhile, you can watch the old Alec Guinness/BBC Miniseries of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's people on YouTube and, if you have a Roku or similar streaming device, you can watch it on your TeeVee.

This idea that Trump is the second coming of Hitler is patently absurd.

In fact he is far less dangerous than any of the other Republicans that ran. Believe me, if Cruz, Rubio, or Bush had been the nominee I would be solidly behind Hillary.

Trump is way to the left of all of them. His position on trade is a flaming liberal one.

On the other hand, if Hillary wins we will have a corporate toady and a warmonger as the standard bearer for the Democratic Party. That, to me, is the real nightmare scenario. Better for her to lose and give us a chance to get someone in there from the Bernie Sanders wing of the party.

Krzysztof Kieslowski's The Scar.

In communist Poland a "can do" head of construction of a large chemical factory is disheartened by his country men lack of vision.

'Pitch' on Fox.

Began Krieslowski's Dekalog which are ten stories based upon themes from the Ten Commandments.

The stories take place mainly in large apartment complexes in communist Poland. I have just finished the second one and so far Krieslowski has asked some serious questions.

I just wrote a detailed post about Hinterland and locked up the screen when I tried to post it. In general, Hinterland is very well done, understated acting, filmed with gorgeous landscapes and a soundtrack that gives excellent attention to detail.

There are a many of Kieslowski's films on Hulu:
Red
White
Blue
A Short Film About Love
No End
Camera Buff
The Scar

Others are available on other streaming services.

Hulu does the best job, IMO, of curating an outstanding collection of international film.
