I wonder why seemingly every movie nowadays needs a parent company and three different production companies to get made. I see this shown before the titles of just about new every movie I watch.

"Erased: WW2's Heroes of Color" on NatGeo.
Stories well worth knowing, and stories that need to be told and preserved now more than ever.

Just a guess. But maybe that's the only way to work with some of the people you think would do the best job with your movie.
Always amazes me that people see the bodies going round but don't see the feet and hands all in time to the music.
I figure the alternative would have to be some made up slang that would have to be a distraction. So I see that stuff as a translation for present day audiences . But like La Haine was translated into hip hop for Anglophones.
The Boondock Saints.
I enjoy this movie every time I watch it, which I've now lost track of. Good stuff.

First saw it when my dad rented it on VHS. Then I bought it on DVD in HS. Now I own it digitally. One of the better pieces of work out there. For sure top 10.
Silo: Took me 3-4 times but I finally got into it. Kept reminding me of Dark and I just couldn't do that one. Like being on a 0.000001mph treadmill.
Just finished Snowfall. John Singleton is wont to use big bookmark stereotypes for characters in pursuit of a point. Nice to see them fleshed out. Suspect Walter Mosely might have had a hand in that. Or the long format just demanded it
Currently watching Washington Black. Enjoyed the book. And took a moment to get over the series not being similarly linear. But setting into it nicely now. Hope season 2 is Half Blood Blues. That was a good book.

Marble Hornets. I had a thought to re-watch the series not long ago, but last week I discovered that the creators are putting out a miniseries that seems to be a sequel on the 27th. So, I've been watching through it the past few days.
Finished Smoke, not sure how I feel about it, though Taron Egerton was properly creepy.
Foundation continues to be enjoyable.
Definitely looking forward to the next episode of Alien: Earth.

This weekend we finally started "Alien: Earth". We're really enjoying it.
Also watched "The Amateur" with Remi Malik and Laurence Fishburne. It's a different twist on the 'unexpected agent' trope; it's pretty good with some slow spots.

I enjoyed The Amateur. I feel like Malik hasn't done much since the Queen biopic, so it's good to see him working.
That's precisely what I'm talking about!
I know I'm old, but it used to be that you would just see the big studio logo (e.g., 20th Century Fox, Universal, Columbia Pictures) before the movie started, not the logos of a bunch of different production companies.
