How is Wildlife, btw? I've got it queued up on Netflix, mostly because of Carey Mulligan.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Cool, maybe I'll watch it tonight. Been weighing that one and First Cow, which I rented as a Black Friday deal.

I saw River Of Grass, the remastered version that came out a few years ago. Beautiful. Old Joy, a masterpiece. Wendy & Lucy was great, super sad.

we've now had Vikings, Barbarians (about Germanic tribes), and Last Kingdom (largely about the Saxons) but we've never had a TV drama about the Celts

So in the Friends episode where Phoebe is trying to teach Joey French and hilarity ensues how do they handle that in the dub on French TV?
