@mariner4life Watch Mandy first - film of the year.
-
Three Identical Strangers
Amazing. Best film I've seen in ages.
-
Went and watch 'A Star Is Born' last night.
I don't know squat about acting but do know what I like and I though Gaga was outstanding.
I loved the movie and would happily go and watch again. That girl has pipes and the dude in the movie sounded cool too.

Pretty sick story tho!
Fascinating, heartbreaking and disgusting in equal measure.
After the Jews were experimented on both physically & mentally during WWII it beggars belief that they would go and do the same. To their own.

Dinner with Herve.
Biopic about the final interview with the midget from the Man with the Golden Gun and Fantasy Island "The plane the plane!" He topped himself shortly after.
Pretty fascinating and everyone's go to dwarf Tyrion Lannister does a great job as Herve.

Not sure Tyrion woulda had much competition for the role especially since Mini Me died.
Gosh Tattoo was a creepy little fuck. Can definitely imagine him being a sexual deviant.

It's a very sad story. Poor little prick was born into a rich family (dad was a surgeon) and his mum basically disowned him. His dad made him undergo all kinds of fucked up operations to make him grow and he used to get the shit kicked out of him just because he was a midget. The worst part is that his organs were normal sized so you can imagine the pain he must have been in later in life.
Don't blame him for going nuts, but it was his own fault for ending up in the gutter. Not like he didn't make his handicap work for him.

@canefan No.
There is a description with the video:
To kick off the holiday season audiences of almost all ages will soon be able to enjoy the Merc with the Mouth’s reimagining of Deadpool 2 filtered through the prism of childlike innocence. "Fox has been asking for a PG-13 basically since the start in 2006," Ryan Reynolds told Deadline. "I've said no since 2006. Now, this one time, I said 'Yes' on two conditions. First, a portion of the proceeds had to go to charity. Second, I wanted to kidnap Fred Savage. The second condition took some explaining..." Fred Savage will join Reynolds in new scenes for ONCE UPON A DEADPOOL in an homage to Savage's starring role in the 1987 bedtime-story classic THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Fred remarked, “while my participation in this film was anything but voluntary, I am happy to learn that Fudge Cancer will be the beneficiary of this shameless cash grab” For every ticket sold, $1 will go to the charity Fudge Cancer - previously known as Fuck Cancer, who have graciously changed their name to be more PG-13 friendly for the 12 days of Once Upon A Deadpool’s release.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs - a Coen brothers Netflix offering.
James Franco, Liam Neeson, Brendon Gleeson
It is half a dozen or so short stories, most of which are decent...although I think they missed a chance to link the stories as well.

I'm glad you posted this, I would have been hugely pissed off when watching because the Netflix preview made it seem like one narrative not a bunch of shorts.
-
@nepia I had read the IMDB synopsis which said it was several short stories.
2 were really good stories (one with James Franco was really good, and the Goldminer was too, Liam Neesan one was odd)
There is singing.
I watched is over 3 nights I think (is over 2 hours)

Even for me this might be a little much:
