I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

Documentary about the war photographer Don McCullin. It's an incredibly difficult film to watch, but very good.Bodacious Benny wrote:Is it a film or series?fatbastard wrote:Anyone else watched McCullin? It's f****** unbelievable.

BBC? I think I watched that when it aired a couple of years ago? I didn't know it was on netflix, I'll definitely give it another watch.

Re: Netflix Recommendations
Watched it. I don't get what could possibly make his fish on rice any better than anyone else's fish on rice. I mean how different could it be when it's literally 2 ingredientsMifune wrote:Talking of great documentaries on Netflix; Jiro Dreams of Sushi is amazing .

Re: Netflix Recommendations
You could say that about any food or cook . Pretty sure it is what you do with them that matters.Duke wrote:Watched it.

Re: Netflix Recommendations
But it's just rice and raw fish. So he's cooking one thing and all rice tastes pretty much the sameMifune wrote:You could say that about any food or cook . Pretty sure it is what you do with them that matters.Duke wrote:

Re: Netflix Recommendations
Considering his apprentices take a year to learn how to prepare and cook the rice (and that is before they are even allowed to touch the fish) by his method and standards, I would disagree .Duke wrote:But it's just rice and raw fish.

Re: Netflix Recommendations
It's still just rice and the fish is raw so I just don't understand what could possibly be so different about it . I can't get my head around it.Mifune wrote:Considering his apprentices take a year to learn how to prepare and cook the rice (and that is before they are even allowed to touch the fish) by his method and standards, I would disagree .Duke wrote:

Re: Netflix Recommendations
So you are sayng if you just eat a raw fish straight out of a river it will taste the same as sushi by Jiro?Duke wrote:It's still just rice and the fish is raw so I just don't understand what could possibly be so different about it . I can't get my head around it.Mifune wrote:

"I don't get what could possibly make his fish on rice any better than anyone else's fish on rice."
I just don't see how it's possible for one sushi to be THAT different from another
I dunno
Re: Netflix Recommendations
Pretty sure the documentary kind of shows how it is possible .
I not of food person at all so I was not really bothered about it from a food perspective anyway.

Re: Netflix Recommendations
I was surprised how much I enjoyed "Draft Day" on Netfilx. Kevin Costner as General Manager of an NFL team. Surprisingly good.
And in conclusion, how far had you got through reading this before you realised it was my signature?

Re: Netflix Recommendations
I find I rarely enjoy sports films. The stories are almost always identical throughout (this isn't about 'Draft Day' as I haven't seen it, but more a general point), and they either win or lose the big game at the end with only seconds to spare. I did enjoy 'Moneyball' however, but mainly because it appealed to the spreadsheet nerd in me and I think it's a great way to assess players.Alfie the friendly goat wrote:I was surprised how much I enjoyed "Draft Day" on Netfilx.
