Netflix’s best new show is an animated revenge thriller - Polygon

Yeah, but still. Lots of other languages.

Why on earth does it not have a Japanese language track?

I think it's a US/Canada production. Not sure though.

Blue Eye Samurai was good. Lots of recognizable voices means they spent a lot of money.

Gah!

Sorry. Farmer's Insurance guy.

If you have never seen Whiplash, you should watch it while it is streaming on Netflix. One of my all-time favorites. Enjoyed it just as much on my second viewing. In particular, I love the ending and how they leave the central questions of the movie unanswered. And the state farm dude makes an amazing villian.

Not sure I'll watch it again as it's very raw and discomfiting (not necessariiy a bad thing) and J.K. Simmons is, as usual, outstanding. I'll watch pretty much anything he's in, including commercials, e.g., Thank You for Smoking and Up in the Air.

Netflix will probably screw it up.

I hope not. It deserves a good treatment.

I'm really looking forward to All the Light We Cannot See, which premieres Nov. 2nd. The book was incredible.

I don't know if it's possible. But if it is, Wes Anderson is definitely not the person to do it. (Nor was Tim Burton, as you point out.)

Yeah I like Tim Burton movies and I like Wes Anderson movies, but I think in this case I'm looking for a Roald Dahl movie. Is there a competent filmmaker that could lose their ego in the text and faithfully convey the spirit of the novel or story? Maybe, but none that a studio or production company would green light. Catch 22 situation, I guess.

Is it even possible to properly adapt Roald Dahl? I'd say the Witches came the closest, but James and the Giant Peach/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sucked. Willie Wonka was good, but not really a proper adaptation, either.

My favorite work of Roald Dahl, for sure. Sad to hear it's being ruined by Wes Anderson. What a shame.
