Netflix is being kind

The new Australian movie, bitterly and vehemently pro-medicinal marijuana, is refreshing and overdue.  How did Australians wind up imitating US drug enforcement for all those years?

But the real treat is The Man Who Knew Infinity, about Srinivasa Ramanujan, with the reputedly homophobic Jeremy Irons doing a wonderful job portraying the quintessentially gay G.H. Hardy, Ramanujan's sponsor and mentor at Cambridge, and with the ever-gay Stephen Fry, in a bit part at the beginning of the movie, incredibly good as a sympathetic British civil servant under the Raj. God these Brits can act!  Not to mention our eponymous hero, played with flawless verisimilitude by Dev Patel.  I think it'd break my heart if Dev Patel were gay.
