I caught Watchman earlier, and quite enjoyed it much more than the Snyder movie, but just couldn’t “get” Raised by Wolves. For the life of me I’m trying to remember the last work with Ridley’s participation that didn’t feel like a complete waste of time and pixels.
So why exactly did I sit through the whole mini-series? Blame retirement and the current pandemic, I guess.
"The Walking Dead - World Beyond"
It is absolutely terrible. The story, the writing, and especially the acting. My wife and daughter keep saying "maybe it'll get better..."
So I suffer through it. Actually, I find myself laughing - it is that bad. I don't think they intended it to be a comedy. Sort of like Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" but at least that was "so bad it was good".

I turns out that this film is not preserved on DVD for US audiences. I have sent messages to TCM and Criterion to put it in the lineup, but this will take years. Available for Europe only.
The film is definitely worth the time to view if you have NFLX, and one can see how Peter Sellers pulled out scenes for his film "After the Fox", and why he engaged di Sica for a part in the film!!!
As a serious Movie buff, one of my favourites is American Splendor:
American Splendor 2003 full movie - YouTube
Available on Youtube for nothing. Can't quite remember if the boy gets the girl. But I'll finish it tomorrow. Cartoon hilarity meets real life. I always liked cartoons. Fat Freddie's Cat, Footrot Flats. An all that. We are all dead in the long run.
