We watched A Single Man -Tom Ford's 2009 film based on the Christopher Isherwood novel of the same name. It might be the best thing I have see Mr Firth in, the clever, clever man.
Oh good, my brain has snapped out of the 'we can only consume new visual media that is over a decade old' and I can finally start to catch up on all the shows I've been missing out on.
Legend of Destruction - English trailer
In case you didn't know, this movie exists and is balls to the walls insane (also it's relevant to the time of year in the Jewish calendar and various political themes but you don't have to care about that). It's extremely nontraditional, and the English dub seems pretty good if you can't watch in the original Hebrew.
If anybody has trouble getting it, DM me for assistancé.

aaron bushnell knew exactly what he was doing. he states his intentions with total lucidity and sense of purpose. he knows what he's about to do is extreme--he says so. he speaks calmly, but he's clearly terrified. he takes a deep breath after pouring the accelerant over himself. he has to psyche himself up to light the flame. he struggles with the lighter. he says "free palestine" normally once before he starts to scream it. even through his agony he manages to say it one last time before he stops being able to speak at all. this is a man with total conviction. he wanted to help people, in any way possible. this action was a moral one, and any news outlet painting this as simply a mental health issue is a disservice to his memory. he knew what he was doing when he burned himself in uniform. he knew that there was a chance that sacrificing his own life could go on to save many others. this was the ultimate act of selflessness, and it should be treated as such. may he rest in peace.
