OK, we just finished the Ripley series. Videography was mesmerizing and production was top notch. Andrew Scott was amazing. Perfect depiction of a sociopath.
I am embarrassed to admit that around episode 2 or 3, I turned to my wife and said, "You know what? This series reminds me of a movie: The Talented Mr. Rip... Oh duh."
Spoiler for spoiler:The one thing that bugged me is the ending. We kept yelling at the screen for Marge for the detective to get a clue. But I guess there is a whole series of Ripley novels, so he won't be caught for a while. If ever."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

I watch movies with my wife, so we can spend time together, but I don't think I would ever say we both enjoyed the same movie. She's never seen a Quentin Tarantino movie or a Martin Scorsese movie. And she hasn't seen any of the Godfather movies. So, I end up watching Outlander and Bridgerton with her."Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

Ha!
I had totally forgotten about that movie, which I remember liking.
We need to watch this series.

I saw UNFROSTED on Netflix over the weekend. For those that don't know, it is Seinfeld's directorial debut. He also wrote and stars in it, but it really is a huge ensemble cast. I think the movie makes the most sense as a fully-fleshed out Seinfeld stage bit. I also think that Jerry probably allowed each of the main actors to develop their characters on their own and write some of their own jokes. The Jerry jokes are jerry jokes. The Gaffigan jokes are 100% Jim, etc.
Be forewarned, the reviews are terrible. The few that I read seem to be hung up on the lack of historicity (the race to develop the shelf-stable breakfast pastry was real, the rest of the details pretty much made-up). I find it laughable that people are upset that this is not an accurate portrayal of the Kellogg's-Post rivalry or some of the other figures. Can you imagine being upset that Bill Burr's impersonation of JFK reduced him to "his sexual obsessions" rather than, I guess, the complex historical character that he is.
If you like the stand-up/humor from Jerry, Gaffigan, Schumer, or Melissa McCarthy, I think you'll really like this movie. The list of cameos and bit parts played by people you know or recognize is pretty amazing:
Jerry
Gaffigan
McCarthy
Schumer
Hugh Grant
Kyle Mooney
Mikey Day
Max Greenfield
Cedric the Entertainer
Kyle Dunnigan
Sebastian Maniscalco
Beck Bennett
Adrian Martinez
Jack McBrayer
Thomas Lennon
Bobby Moynihan
James Marsden
Aparna Nancherla
Tony Hale
Peter Dinklage
Bill Burr
Ronny Chieng
Dean Norris
George Wallace
Jon Hamm
John Slattery
Fred Armisen
Darrell Hammond
Dan Levy
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

FTR, this is probably about as accurate as the "based on the true story" of the guy who invented flaming hot cheetos. (Spoiler--he didn't--Frito Lay had been developing and test sampling the flamin' hot seasonings for years before launching. But that's not a great story and that doesn't move product.)Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
