I love @netflix but it’s ‘world’ cinema offering leaves an awful lot to be desired. I’ve found one French film so far (Betty Blue)… poor.

@DoIlum ooh, not as a Lenin / Trotsky allegory? Interesting…

Thursday August 7, 2014 - 22:42

@brucel the trouble is, one ends up using ‘misguided’ instead, when what one is thinking is ’evil’. Sigh.

Thursday August 7, 2014 - 22:45

@DoIlum could be read many ways. It has some very timeless themes. Possibly the best book I’ve read this year.

Thursday August 7, 2014 - 22:48

@silentworks @netflix no it’s pretty much equally awful now. MUBI, is okay but I’m not sure I want to pay another subscription.

Thursday August 7, 2014 - 22:53

@silentworks wait, @mubi is only £2.99 p/m that’s a bargain! Think I’ll probably cancel either @netflix or @AmazonVideoUK to pay for it.

Thursday August 7, 2014 - 23:01

My problem with @netflix recommendation algorithm is that it doesn’t allow for eclectic tastes. It’s a bit ‘if you like pizza, try pizza!’
