i wonder if the vfx were easier because the assets were more able to be reused or altered slightly for a subsequent scene. there's a lot of very similar looking footage of godzilla, without looking like they spliced in existing footage.

back on the true crime cart lately - sins of our mother. mormon mommy goes off the deep end and as part of her beliefs her kids are murdered.
you don't have to know much about religion to understand that somewhere things have become unhinged. there's a fine line between someone who defers to their god's word, and someone else who believes they're special and is allowed to make up their own rules.
mommy meets author, author has a rating system devised to classify people as angels or possessed by demons (they are zombies). this apparently gives them justification to murder people to save them. yet they still hide this from the authorities, us regular people just wouldn't understand i guess. which is a theme alluded to toward the end of the documentary.
mormon missionaries are in some ways the best people you'll meet - they would chew their arm off for you. like the other family members/victims in this, they are also incredibly naïve. the mum is able to swan around and bat away questions about her children that haven't been sighted for months.
includes the typical police system failures you see in a lot of true crime docs but not overloaded with it. coincidentally, found the guy involved in the murders has in the last few days received the death penalty for his involvement.

true crime doc - american nightmare
conflicted after watching a few of these recently now. this aspect is important but the use of police incompetence to power parts of the documentary is a bit of a crutch that comes with a reduced pay-off when you watch these things. this doc is slightly different from others in that the couple sued the police for defamation, to the tune of $2.5mil.
but it makes it a harder slog, and you're watching angry and frustrated instead of marvelling at prowess.

Anyone watched The 8 Show? Looks like something I'd usuallly love but the first episode was really slow and boring. Does it get better?

Haven’t watched this but the trailer looked really good. Would love to hear others thoughts if it’s worth watching.

We watched the true crime series How To Rob a Bank, which was about a bank robber who committed two dozen bank robberies in Seattle. It was pretty interesting.

Watched the 4th ep of Baby Reindeer last night.
That must be one of the saddest episodes of TV I've seen in some time. Just heartbroken for him. People suck.

I've tried to watch Season 1 of this series twice and have failed to make it to the end. You can see it's quality but I'm not sure if it's completely for me.
I think I prefer other animation out there at the moment.
EDIT: Screw it I'll give it one more go.
loved all the underlying themes in it
Just started watching Summer Love and it's not too bad. The first episode has the same actors as in Colin from Accounts. The cast changes each episode, as people come and go from a holiday house in Victoria.
Just watched ep 1.
I read in the credits that it's bankrolled by the Obamas...not sure why they would have an interest in this subject matter.
Has a very similar feel to "The Guard" which is a genuine dark comedy.
I really enjoyed it - was black comedy
I thought that was strange too
Seen the first. Bit of fun - got us in.
Only time I’d use dubbing over subbing is for these Korean shows.

Subtitles. Its a fun show with added emphasis on oohs and aahhs . Clever concept but I left it after season 1 - friend watched season 2
