Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “My pick of the week is Nosferatu (2024) in whatever resolution you can play it at. Otherwise, while it’s not an anime, Legend of the Eight Samurai has caught my interest.” Blaine says, “The Social Network is the best of the titles I’ve seen this week, though Nosferatu is definitely on the watch list.”
I used to watch Are You Being Served? as a child, and, as an adult, I am absolutely shocked at how smutty it is.
My maternal grandmother, a Methodist minister’s daughter with little tolerance for crudeness in real life, watched this show. Something about the way the British do “nudge nudge wink wink” I suppose.
Yeah, this show is more “punch in the face” than “wink wink nudge nudge” (:
I usually don’t care for anime, but I do have The War of the Rohirrim on my watch list.
I should re-watch The Social Network, if only to remind myself what an oligarchical tool Zuckerberg is.
