Tommy Lee Jones as Gary Gilmore

The Executioner's Song (1982)

So I finally watched “Chernobyl - Surviving Disaster” as suggested by @tryingtobealwaystrying and oh look, a very familiar, almost adolescent face playing Toptunov.

There’s some Toptumov in there that wasn’t in the HBO show, and their scenes together are even more devastating as they both break into tears while trying to open the valves. Akimov  dwells in despair thinking of his wife and later, as his body withers away in the hospital, fears that he’ll be the one to be blamed for the accident.

And btw there are soooo many scenes that were ripped off from that docu-drama, and I don’t mean only historically accurate, well-documented events and dialogues. Dyatlov’s rudeness, arrogance and denial, Legasov’s panic in the helicopter, Legasov vs a Charkov-like character forbidding him to tell the truth (the same entitlement, the same way Legasov drops his head between his shoulders in despair), the heartbreaking flashback of the operators’ happy unsuspecting faces by the end of the narration. A great watch, almost complementary to the HBO show.

Watched the first ep of BBC’s Gentleman Jack this morning. Anne Lister was pretty badass for the time period and I appreciate her lack of caring about what people thought of her. I wish I was more like that. 

Although didn’t like her killing the horse. That bit wasn’t really necessary. I think they already demonstrated her logical and calculating personality with the rent taking. I don’t see what that actually did in regards to her personality. It made her seem unemotional. But we’ve already seen her sobbing in to the skirts of her ex-lover so idk bro. Maybe to make her seem like she doesn’t care for things she considers beneath her? But again she demonstrated that by evicting a tennant who couldn’t pay the rent. And she seemed to like the horse or at least show tenderness towards it; she sent her doctor to tend to it. 

Anyway so far so good. I think she was quite a singular woman in her time. I enjoyed her notion of women’s suffrage despite not actually calling it as such. And it was more based on the fact men who she perceived as being beneath her being allowed a political voice over her. Which isn’t really the right attitude but women’s suffrage in it’s original form wasn’t inclusive was it? But for the era I think she seemed quite forward thinking. Albeit certainly not liberal in political standing. Hopefully it will show her obsession with achieving rank and wealth.

Finally Watched It - Challenge Edition: "Philosophy of a Knife" (2008)

Finally Watched It – Challenge Edition: “Philosophy of a Knife” (2008)

(Image Source) This movie is a docu-drama of the horrific experiments that went on at Unit 731. Yeah. That’s about it. There conflicting reports of the absolute horrors that were committed but, aside from what I hope is sensationalism in this movie, me and my non-unethical scientist brain had several questions as to the scientific validity of what the absolute fuck was going on. I swear, some of…

The Dangers of "The Tiger King"

The Dangers of “The Tiger King”

So let me just say, I like everyone else, couldn’t take my eyes off of this show, and that might be part of the problem. Documentaries have been around for a long time, and for a log time they had one main purpose, and that was to try and portray a non-fictional story, typically with a combination of interview footage, and available footage from or dealing with the events of the documentary.…
