I particularly enjoy "Art Imitating Life" movies. I just recently saw "Vice". Not a Dick Cheney fan stemming back to his days as Sec Def and cancelling the A-12 Program, so I saw his shortcomings as particularly humorous, and it was artfully done.
What I don't like is these type of movies that get "preachy" in the closing credits, like this one and "Black Klansman". Both were shows that had pretty good, accounts of real life stories that were ruined when both Directors decided to add their own unrelated commentary in the closing credits.

Curious, did you think the A-12 was a salvagable program/aircraft?

Has anyone watched “The Romanoffs” on Amazon?

Watched one episode and it wasn't what I expected... and not in a good way

Saw the trailer. Just didn’t grab me, but I’m also not a fan of his Mad Men, which is another reason I stayed away. If it’s good though please relay your thoughts because I find the idea of its plot interesting.

Watched them all. Other than one reference pertaining to being a descendant of the Romanoffs in each, there was only one that actually talked about the Romanovs as we studied them in history. Watch the first one, then go somewhere else.

SIAP haven't kept up with this thread.
New season of Dark was just released on Netflix.
If you're into sci-fi I'd highly recommend checking it out. It's an excellent show from Germany.
I've watched the first season a couple times and just started it again to refresh for the new season.

It's really good. Saw they just released season 2 and I was certain it was going to only be one season.

Found a movie called Captain Fantastic with Vigo Mortensen this week. It was, indeed, fantastic. Released in 2016. Never heard of it but it apparently made 4x it's budget. I think it was VM's best acting performance and it had an incredible version of sweet child of mine.

Just watched the gun battle from Den of Thieves again. That scene rocks.
Highly recommend Showtime’s new City on a Hill. Has a bit of The Wire meets The Town vibe. 2nd episode is on tonight I believe.
Also, The Protector on Netflix is pretty enjoyable. It’s Turkish but it’s done by an American production team I believe so it’s pretty slick.

That was definitely the highlight. Movie wasn’t nearly as good as I’d hoped.
