Before there was “Speed,” there was “The Bullet Train Explosion,” a 1975 film that inspired the famed Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock thriller. Later this week, a remake of the original Japanese movie will debut on Netflix. The gist? A Shinkansen train will blow up if it slows to less than 100kph. What do you do? @IndieWire gives us the answer in this review:

The Bullet Train Explosion
IndieWire · 'The Bullet Train Explosion' Review: Netflix Remakes Original 'Speed'By David Ehrlich

Started watching Bodies on Netflix yesterday

It’s a mystery / sci-fi / noir and if you have seen and loved Dark, there are some similarities but in a poor cousin way.

I’m interested to see how the story deals with the “what happens to minorities who think they are helping when they work for the police” thing

There is also a gay victorian subplot, I like gay and I like victorian.

Will probably finish it today, it’s only 8 episodes.

Nice cinematography based on the graphic novel and I like the 40s and 1890s costumes.

I was almost in tears last night watching the chef in Episode 10 of The Blank Menu for You talk philosophically about eoran (a Korean food ingredient) because it was so relatable.

I'm not dying of loneliness, I'm deepening my flavour. 😅

(It's a wonderful, gentle, cozy, heart-warming show. I recommend it.)

Fashion in ‘North of North’ has generated a lot of comment in social media.

I’ve noticed that many of these come with assumptions about what women would be wearing in Inuit communities, and a lack of understanding of the importance of sustainable design in Inuit culture.

CBC has a great feature with interviews with the show’s creators on the point.

‘The show's emphasis on slow fashion ran counter to a film industry that often operates on a quicker schedule.

"Nothing here is mass-made," Aglok MacDonald said. "So it really is going out to independent artists who are just crafting a few things here and there and seeing if they could put in a bulk order."’
