Just finished Moxie.

"Cliche bingo" from beginning to end.

White males - patriarchy, privilege, rapists

Women - powerful, sassy, confident.

Like an episode of South Park.

You PC, brah?

I watched that Whitney Houston documentary, Can I Be Me?

I didn't know much about her and not really a fan. Had the overall idea she was in a destructive relationship with Bobby Brown involving drug addiction but did not know about her relationship with Robyn. That must have been such a toxic environment. Seemed to be that Robyn was the most stable one, maybe left hoping it would give Whitney a wakeup call but it went the opposite way.

Straight away the mother came off bad trying to steal the limelight and then the dad betraying her in later years too. Robyn finally leaving etc.

She herself also didn't come off great sometimes either when she was talking about her own daughter. She was saying something about how what really makes her happy is when her daughter shows she misses her when she's touring but it came across selfish and then in an interview when asked about Bobby's womanizing, her response was odd.

It's like Elvis and all the people he had around him and they could all see it getting worse but just kept enabling the situation or didn't know what to do.

Interesting to watch. The whole thing was just a mess with a very sad ending.

I can't find this anywhere?

Trial by fire is a good film on Netflix. Worth a watch if your into death row stories4.

Cheers for the recommendation.

What a truly remarkable story and told very well by the cast and crew, Jack O' Connelly was excellent.

It's a must watch.

I was looking at the New On Netflix website early and there is a few films missing from the expiring list.

So I thought maybe that wasn’t a good site.

The direct, Peter Weir, is one of my favourites. His work is worth checking out.

It's worth noting that The Truman Show was released in 1998. Big Brother was launched in 1999. It was a very timely movie.

Paradise Lost was very good if a little bit gruesome!

sydthebeat · 04-03-2021 9:38am

I'm two episodes into "reckoning" and it's faltering to grab my attention

Worth staying with?

Saw a trailer for that a while ago and it looked pretty funny.

That doesn’t have have all the expiring titles either.

For example Kill the Messenger leaves on the 10th

Neither of those websites shows that

Didn’t Netflix used to have “last chance to watch” section or list?

If you know those sites are missing some it sounds like you already have a good source.

I follow the New on Netflix UK website which I find good.
The gut that runs the site mentioned 2 years ago that Netflix have made some changes in their algorithm and he couldn't get the expiry dates in any easy way anymore - and he was asking users to help with this.
Not sure if there is a "Last Chance to Watch" section, have never seen one.
I think someone mentioned in this thread before that there was a way to see what expires from your list, but not sure if/how it works.

While this isn't going to be for everyone - the performances are very mannered - I found this very enjoyable.

Yes that is what I was trying to remember - the My List. Not a good way to try track though.

I’m willing to contribute when I find an expiring title. I will look into how to do it.
