Politics And Current Events
I was waiting in line at the bank the other day and some folks ahead of me were talking about Trump and how he's going to destroy Biden and fix the country, etc. One woman joined in and said that Trump should have bowed out and endorsed DeSantis or Haley last year. The main MAGA guy went off on her,...

Yeah, reusing the "time is a flat circle" made me groan out loud. So, so corny. Thinking about it more last night, I probably dislike it more. Some of the plot holes are just inexcusable. Tsalal has several vehicles (Danvers and Navarro take one after the storm passes) so why didn't they sit in a ve...

I finished Night Country up tonight. It wasn't terrible. I agree that it was "fine." With a few more rounds of rewriting it could have been pretty good as the bones of the story were solid enough, but it definitely felt clunky. Even in the finale episode, when Danvers and Navarro are chasing the guy...

GDT #52: Jagr Day
Very hard not to shed a few tears watching that ceremony. I know Craig Patrick was pretty loathed by the end of his tenure, but he really did love Pittsburgh and love that team, and you could see the emotion all over his face today. It probably wouldn't have gone well, but I still hate that the Pens...

Last Voyage of the Demeter had some crazy logic, even for a horror movie. Spoilers: The ship's crew knows that people only die/get attacked at night. They have seen two people who have been bit burst into flames in the daylight. So their grand plan is to lure Dracula onto the deck of the ship at nig...

Hopefully this hurts the GOP in House and Senate races.Oh neat. She already had pledged to funnel all their money to Trump. The dumpster fire burns hotter.Lara Trump, lip filler addict and wife of the dumber Trump sibling, is now co-chair of the RNC. Sounds about right.

Interesting article on Zaslav's "deleting films for the tax write off" strategy.

I don't watch much Prime. Usually just as background noise on the weekends. I did watch a couple episodes of Bosch last week. There were ads at the beginning and then an ad break around the end of the second act - maybe 4 min long. If they handle it like Freevee (not sure if I got that right), it wi...

No more Dolby Vision or Atmos from Amazon Prime until you pay for the "ad free" tier.

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Poltergeist and Gremlins were basically the "reason" for why PG 13 became a thing.
Up until then a movie was PG if it didn't contain excessive profanity and gore.

True Detective S4 E5
Okay, this show is just plain bad. By far the worst season of the franchise, and I can't imagine any way the final episode could change that.

My FB feed is flooded with anti-Swift/Kelce comments this morning. It's pretty darned hilarious how the people who call liberals snowflakes freak out over musician and her boyfriend.

I'll have to see if it's streaming anywhere. Right now I'm getting ready to watch Class of 1984. Another one I haven't seen.
Sounds like Streets of Fire would be a good one to throw on after these

Agreed. They never failed to make me smile. I think the baseball furies were my favorites.The Warriors is amazing. The corniness and the over the top, ridiculous gangs are what makes the movie work so well.

I watched a few classics (or "classics") that somehow slipped by me all these years. The Warriors, Savage Streets, The Outsiders. All pretty good flicks. The Outsides was probably the weakest of the bunch. Coppola's directing did the material (which was admittedly ham-fisted) no favors. Savage Stree...

I've already admitted that the Biden report is worrisome. I also think he's declining. That said, I do see how my father's long battle with brain cancer turned those 8 years into a blur for my mom. Dad's been gone for 4 years now, but she can't remember the order of certain events, like his stroke, ...

I like Klobuchar too. I worry she won't get as much of the Black vote as she needs to win, but I'd certainly vote for her. I still really like Buttigieg, but I feel like he's DOA between being gay and his cabinet position.Also, I’m with CB in that I’d be in favor of Klobuchar running.

Little weird that it’s a big deal all of a sudden. I say this because Trump multiple times hasn’t been able to remember when he was in office or when things happened. He famously said there were airports during the revolutionary war. I don't think it gains Trump any votes, I just worry that it will...
