Netflix released their schedule for November and there's two mountaineering movies. At 4:15 there is some kind of animated mountaineering movie/show. At 9:17 there is a doc called 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible which I'm assuming is about the guy last year who broke the record for climbing all 14 in I believe 6 weeks.
A breathtaking adaptation of the manga series by renowned manga artist Jiro Taniguchi and writer Baku Yumemakura, THE SUMMIT OF THE GODS follows a young Japanese photojournalist, Fukamachi, who finds a camera that could change the history of mountaineering. It leads him to the mysterious Habu, an outcast climber believed missing for years. Fukamachi enters a world of obsessive mountaineers hungry for impossible conquests on a journey that leads him, step by step, towards the summit of the gods.

Sarcasm or not, it's not even funny to post something like this. Not at this time. Reported.

All i know is that if Queen Elizabeth 2 keeps chugging away and "The Crown" continues their policy of changing actors every 2 years to keep them within a relevant age of their characters, they're going to have a super hard time finding someone old enough for the Queen Elizabeth role.

i can't think of an actress who more perfectly embodies the spirit of Queen Liz than Betty White. they're both Betties and they're both white. just give her the role and be done with it.

Agree 100%! And she is such a beautiful woman!
i've never watched The Crown, but i would totally watch it with Betty White. especially if she has a pet crocodile.

Watched the 14 peaks one. It was decent enough but so much left uncovered, much of it the things I want to see most
"Here I am on the summit of X".
Cut, and next scene:
"Less than 24 hours later, here I am on the summit of the next one"
So much of it is the logistics, the forecast, how did they get from point to point, what, of any camps were established, etc
There's just a lot left unsaid and I want them said.

it looks like my dream of seeing Betty White as Queen Elizabeth is not to be. damn.
