So far so good, usual stuff, good characterisation. Watched a few episodes of this over the last few days, its alright, John Voight is excellent.

Declan Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The Cohen Brothers latest film - Ballad of Buster Skruggs - is on Netflix it has 6 distinct stories so you can treat it like a box set if you want. Very good indeed and the Isle of Man gets a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further thanks for the heads up ... still working my way through them. They're dark, but the reason I'm posting now is that I'm surprised no one has made reference to (illiterate cretin) the song - Molly from the Isle of Man which is being sung at what I guess is the last story with 24 and a bit minutes to go. Molly asked her sweetheart With a simple country smile If they might have a holiday They sailed from Mona's Isle They landed safe in London town Soon Molly lost her way Among admiring men And she is missing to this day Has anybody here seen Molly? M, O double-L, Y Has anyone here seen Molly? Find her if you can She is not all skin and bony Oh no her figure's widely knowny-oh Has anybody here seen Molly? Molly from the Isle of Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Read a George Pelecanos novel recently, looking him up he's been involved in another series with David Simon from The Wire. Called The Deuce its about New York in the 70s concentrating on porn, pimps and prostitutes. It's dark and dirty and pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
