Mute review – Duncan Jones's sci-fi thriller is a Netflix disaster

Leo has been rendered unable to speak by one of those throat-slashing Amish motorboating accidents that are always in the news

I watched hay seeds glitter in the dark near Ma's front gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to raise a barn...English.

The guy playing Kemper is utterly horrifying. His casual descriptions of murder and rape sent chills up my spine...been a long time since that’s happened from a show.

Netflix’s hit comedy series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will return in May for Season 4. The streaming service said today the fourth season will launch in two parts. The first six episodes will be available on May 30, and the second half of the season will premiere later in 2018.

Correct.

When the world’s most controversial guru builds a utopian city in the Oregon desert, a massive conflict with local ranchers ensues; producing the first bioterror attack in US history, the largest case of illegal wiretapping ever recorded, and the world’s biggest collection of Rolls-Royce automobiles.

I'm familiar with it because of the bio-terror attack element. The whole story is unreal and I hope this documentary does it justice as I don't think many are aware of what happened.

I thought I read that Netflix was unlikely to pick it up, so most of the effort from the save-The-Expanse group is going towards Amazon.

In the biggest acquisition of a finished film it has made so far, Netflix has acquired from Warner Bros the worldwide rights to Mowgli, the CGI live action film directed by Andy Serkis based on the Jungle Book stories of Rudyard Kipling.
...
Warner Bros had Mowgli dated for an October 19 release. It will be recalibrated as an event offering next year by Netflix.

Serkis made Mowgli with 3D effects he hopes can be displayed in a theatrical component that will be part of Netflix’s release plans. But here, he will get an enormous global audience and see through his vision for a story that is darker and more dangerous than the one Jon Favreau directed for Disney.
