"Best Shot" Finale
Sunday, August 21, 2016 at 8:36AM 
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Apologies that last week's episode was delayed one week but real life got in the way. So this Tuesday I'll be discussing Baz Luhrmann's The Get Down and Splash will serve as our season (series?) finale of Hit Me With Your Best Shot next week. It'll also double as the wrap up of our Year of the Month (1984) just after the Smackdown.
And then it's on to fall film season, festivals, and Oscar build-up!
This Tuesday Evening, August 23rd
THE GET DOWN (2016)
Pick one shot from the first episode of Baz Luhrmann's Netflix series described as "a mythic saga of how New York at the brink of bankruptcy gave birth to hip-hop, punk and disco"... though from more intricate descriptions it sounds like it's mostly hip-hop we're talking about. Can he bring that Moulin Rouge! magic? Was it worth the insane investment with a budget of $10 million per episode? (The first half of the first season -- six of twelve episodes -- began streaming on August 12th)
SEASON FINALE - Tuesday Evening, August 30th
SPLASH (1984)
With 1984 being our "year of the month" and a rumored gender flipped remake coming, we'll look back at the best live-action mermaid movie that I was obsessed with as a kid. Daryl Hannah's Crimped Hair forever!

OMG Splash, my first "adult" movie ever!
John Alton of An American in Paris is one of my favorite cinematographers ever. His work in noirs like Raw Deal is just fantastic.
Don't make it a series finale please! I look forward to watching Splash!
I have enjoyed this Baz Luhrmann's Netflix series very well as it is so interesting and entertaining. Usually, I don’t watch such a series but my friends requested me to watch it once so that I can become a big fan of this series and it happened the same in the end. Well, I have been thinking to check out edubirdie reviews to find the best writer for help in essay online.
