Correct!

Yeah, good catch. I think it's a little more obvious in the screenshot than when you're watching it live, but maybe it's just because I knew it now. So that gives us... ?

All right!

Just to substantiate why it made me think of The Nightingale:

Spoiler

Here's The Cursed:

... And here's The Nightingale:





Eh?

[close]

Here's another one you may recognize–or if you're like me, not recognize for the longest time and then go "Oh!":

The Cursed, aka Eight for Silver

Well, I was able to google my way to the answer based on the hint about its similarity to Ginger Snaps ("werewolf movie 1800s" was the ticket), so if nobody recognizes it...

The movie that comes to mind (for whatever reason; I must have seen a still from it that reminds me of the latest image) is that Australian historical revenge drama from a few years back...

Apparently it was called The Nightingale.

Yup

Yes Chris Morris, no Brass Eye. (I don't think Alan Partridge appeared on that show.)

Anyone?

The woman looks like she might be Keira Knightley, so I'm going to guess (looking at IMDB... Man! She has done a lot of period dramas/romances) The Duchess.

I don't quite understand what is causing the playback error, the video and the URL are correctly set :/

In the new forums, embedded YouTube videos should not be the whole URL, but only the YouTube ID (the alphanumeric string at the end). I've edited your post to fix it.

[Amsterdam]

I watched An Inspector Calls (2015) off the recommendation in this thread. It's a good movie, but I wouldn't really call it a detective mystery, even though it features a series of interrogations following a death, and even some twists. It's more just a traditional tragedy, told in retrospect, with a social message.

And I just watched Amsterdam by David O. Russell in the cinema, which again hardly qualifies as a mystery. While the story features an investigation (of sorts) into two murders, it quickly becomes more of a "clear our names"/political conspiracy thriller with comedy elements:

I did not like this one. Russell uses a lot of intrusive gimmicks to tell the story, with scenes that are aggressively digressive to the point where they almost seem absurdist. Neither the villains' plot nor the attempts to thwart it make a whole lot of sense. This one also has a social message, which I found rather ham-handed. Although loosely based on (alleged) pre-WWII historical events, this might be the first Hollywood movie (indirectly) "about" the January 6 insurrection and attempted coup.

Coming out soon is See How They Run, a period murder mystery on the set of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. I'm looking forward to that (I need to refresh my memory of the play), though the trailer makes it seem like a spoof more than a serious mystery:

And of course in December there is Glass Onion, the sequel to Knives Out:

Should be fun! I guess Hollywood has decided that comedy is the way to go with films like this.

Whereas future SFLA has "Buster Friendly and His Friendly Friends" with a talkshow host that broadcasts live 46 hours a day (with separate radio and TV shows), future UK has the same thing with "Alan Partridge and His Party Pals (Aha!)"

But what not everybody may know is that this is just the latest in a series of shows that originally spun off from another series...

Cat! Happy birthday!

Yeah, you got it. It's from the upcoming Blade Runner 2099 limited series, currently in preproduction. Your turn.

This should be pretty easy, except that I want the specific TV series this screen is from:



(If the image looks a little weird, it's because I ran a frame grab from a poor-quality YouTube video through an online AI upscale/sharpen tool.)

whoever that is

David Rasche. Back in 2009, I saw him introduce a screening of In the Loop. Since then he's been in Veep, among other things.

Am I misremembering, or wasn't ProgZmax a big fan of Sledge Hammer? Just for a second I thought "I'll hold off and let him get this one." 

[One Punch Man]

Checking a map and then googling "saitama film" brings up a lot of hits relating to One Punch Man, an entity I am vaguely aware of from internet memes but that I have steadfastly refused to learn anything about. Is that it?

Oh, man, I'm sure I've seen this, but cannot remember what it's from.
