List country's band/artist, album, TV show, film

Hello, Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz was made for television so technically it would fall into that category...13 chapters and an epilogue!

Hi,

^  I watched Katla, enjoyable TV show.

The top album is Mental Notes from 1975 and that's also a surprise as I had them down as one of those many post punk new wave bands that sprung ip in the 80's. My favourite song from NZ is undoubtedly Weather With You. That and McCartney's Listen To What The Man Says are my favourite songs to hear in a beer garden on warm sunny day with a cold beer in hand. For actor maybe Anna Paquin although she was born in Canada but raised in Wellington. True Blood was superb. Always good to discover a fun fact or two and when I googled her I found that she is married to the very talented actor/director Stephen Moyer and also born on the same day as Elizabeth Moss (wow must have been some strange voodoo sh*t going on that day!). Agree a little bit on Peter Jackson's early shlock horror films being perhaps is most fun stuff (Braindead especially) although are you including the films The Frighteners (Michael J Fox) and Heavenly Creatures as well? Of his later films They Shall Not Grow Old is an essential educational film about WW1 (the so called Great War). Technical masterpiece. I was in the same school (junior and senior) as Stephen Moyer (year below) and we were quite good friends in our early teens - he used to come round and play snooker on my 5 foot by 2 and a half foot table. He was always the lead in the school play/musical so it was no surprise that he went into acting - he’s done ok! I still haven’t watched True Blood - DVDs are sitting in the cupboard🙄 Wow that's amazing! Moyer recently acted in and directed some episodes of the Paramount TV series Sexy Beast. Like his work on that a lot.

He was Stephen Emery before he changed his name. A cheeky chappy, and a big hit with the ladies (including one teacher, allegedly….)🤓

I have met Canadian actor Currie Graham, who played in NYPD Blue; he went to the same high school as I did in Prescott, Ontario, Canada, and I also met and knew his father a little, who was a high school principal in the area.
