Finished "Cobra Kai" a while back. I enjoyed it, but I have to confess every season got a little worse until the final one was fairly ridiculous.

Started "The Amazing Digital Circus" on Netflix (and I believe you can watch most, if not all, of the short series on YouTube). It's a 3D animated cartoon about a woman who is imprisoned in a virtual reality carnival world overseen by a deranged A.I. who forces the circus performers go on video-game style quests. It's a cult hit with the kids and it's interesting so far.

Okay, nobody has bitten, and though it seems perverse (in the US anyway) to skip 1963, I'm a perverse guy, so:

73.) FIVE CORNERS (1987) - takes place in NYC during 1964 against the backdrop of the growing civil rights movement.
Just figured this was an opportunity to plug a cool sleeper flick, directed by Tony Bill (UNTAMED HEART), written by John Patrick Shanley (MOONSTRUCK), and starring a great ensemble cast including Jodie Foster, Tim Robbins, Todd Graff, and a terrifying young John Turturro.

Press Releases and Film News / Re: Netflix sued for losing un...

A U.K.-based production company and a filmmaker are suing Netflix for $105 million, alleging the streaming company lost a drive containing a copy of an unreleased espionage movie, which they claim undermined its commercial prospects.

The complaint filed on Wednesday in California district court alleges that the film's associate producer, Daniel Haido, hand-delivered an unencrypted master copy of the film to Netflix so the company could screen it as a potential buyer. Haido verbally instructed the employee to delete the files after the screening, according to the suit.

A little over a week after the screening, Netflix emailed the filmmakers to say the drive had been stolen, the plaintiffs allege.

A Netflix spokesperson said the company "disputes any claim that it bears the risk of loss for a film delivered without the proper industry-standard safeguards." Netflix has offered to monitor piracy sites for unauthorized distribution or sale of the movie.

Wild story. Would make for a great movie, starring Nic Cage!

Yikes 😳😳

Reminds me of the time I was ordered by a client to deliver a master tape of the movie THE ROAD TO MECCA from our premises to the copyright holders premises in Johannesburg.

I did so, the tape was signed for and that was that.

5 years later I received a call from the company demanding to know where the master was. Thankfully we kept all delivery files and I was able to prove that it had been delivered, handed over and signed for.

Never found out what happened to that tape after I delivered it 😳
