NETFLIX QUEUED:
âJim: The James Foley Storyâ
âInto the Infernoâ
âAudrie & Daisyâ
ALREADY SEEN:
âThe Lovers and the Despotâ
Holy Hell: This one borders on Razzie worthy.
âEverything is Copy â Nora Ephron: Scripted & Unscriptedâ
âDo Not Resistâ
âBecoming Mike Nicholsâ
âOJ: Made in Americaâ?! I don't get how it qualifies as it's a TV miniseries.
These already are having their theatrical release. If money or time wasn't an issue, I'd seen them already.
âTickledâ
âWeinerâ
âLife, Animatedâ
âLo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected Worldâ
âFrancofoniaâ
âCommand and Controlâ
âTony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guruâ AND Amanda Knox? These guys are on Netflix but I'm not too excited to waste my time on either one.
Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures AND How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Canât Changeâ: I thought they already were on Netflix. The title sounds really familiar like I passed over it why looking for something to watch at home but never added it to my watchlist....

I should be watching "Amanda Knox" very soon.

Just curious? Were you following that news saga when it was at its year+ long peak on the news cycle?

I only heard about her story first time on Nightline last week.

Turned out the documentary wasn't that great. I found the last third especially frustrating.

Re: THIS YEAR'S BUMPER CROP OF OSCAR POTENTIALS
Have only seen:
âThe Beatles: Eight Days a Week â The Touring Yearsâ
âLo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected Worldâ
But I have several other titles in my sights, mainly:
âTowerâ
I was home from college at my parent's house in San Antonio, about 70 miles south of Austin. I was watching a re-run of an episode of "The Fugitive" about the middle of the morning on August 1, 1966 when the local channel interrupted the broadcast to report the sniper shootings from the observation deck of the tower on the University of Texas campus. Watching this unfold practically in my back yard is one of the strongest memories of those years that have staid with me.

I like "The Beatles: Eight Days a Week â The Touring Years" a lot, and thought it was very well made.

Re: THIS YEAR'S BUMPER CROP OF OSCAR POTENTIALS
I Am Not Your Negro (2016) is being released on Feb. 3 in the US. But the current rating of 4.9/10 at 519 votes is painfully low. Is this pretty accurate depiction of the film's quality or is the film a victim of preemptive alt-right trolling campaign?
