This video had a profound formative influence on me when i first saw it as a young preteen on PBS. It changed my perspective, and i have never thought about things in quite the same way since.

Peter Russell - The Global Brain

Watched “The Apartment” (1960) and “It Happened One Night” (1934). Both good. I never saw either.

Slow Horses Season One - intermittently engaging British espionage series. I was expecting more. This one was a somewhat pedestrian account of an extreme right group in Britain who kidnap a Pakistani stand up comic. Gary Oldman is ok but his lines sound contrived to make him seem more interesting than he is.

Unfortunately, the audio isn't very good. I had to use my large speakers along with captions.

White Lotus season 3.

Mike White is great.

I remember having deep conversations about The Troubles with you, lads.

I am currently watching 'Say Nothing' on Disney+. A very well-dramatised version of the Irish and NI issue. The actors are very good, and wow, the scenes are so realistic that it feels like it is happening nowadays.

I thought you would be interested in watching it. :up:

Don't have Disney+

In fact, if one has to say the absolutely best movie about urban insurgency is The Battle of Algiers (1966). Really a truly amazing war movie about urban insurgency and terrorism. You would be also interested to compare the French action in Algiers and Algeria to the British actions in Northern Ireland. You see, the French did lose Algeria, the British didn't lose North Ireland. And notice the similarities and the differences in the counter-insurgency methods.

Here's the trailer of this great war movie:

Interesting, ssu. :up:

Thanks for letting me know!
