So you were 21 and your dad made you step outside because of that scene in the movie? Are you guys Mormon or something?

I hate it when such flippant headlines are used to describe any kind of movie or documentary that deals with strictly a military aspect of WW 2. Just freaking say "German" or "Axis" instead of "Nazi". Using "Nazi" is such an inaccurate and sensationalist term.

He made all of us his children step outside. Simpler than just my sisters and brother and them whining loudly in a movie theater on why I get to stay. When we watch TV at night or live sports and commercials starts, sometimes he will turn the TV off : let your eyes rest for a few minutes. when he turns it back on, it has already resumed and we don't know how much we missed.

This. Very interesting. https://www.smithsonianchannel.com/shows/d-day-and-the-dambusters/0/3493051?an=history

Binge watched Season One of Space Force on Netflix last week.

It is not the best thing I have ever seen but it is entertaining enough to keep me watching.

Same thing, just finished yesterday.

I was surprised that Netflix did not string out the series and dropped all ten episodes on the same day.

Tiger King on Netflix.
What a collection of scumbags.,it's like a trainwreck of humanity.
Don't know that I'd recommend it unless you're really hankering to laugh, leer, or gawk at some trashy con artists.

Venom (1981) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084854/

This was a good movie. I think it got bad reviews cos folks were expecting a killer snake horror flick and not a serious crime thriller. The poster makes it look it like a horror flick too.

One of world's two greatest movie critics (may both of them rest in peace) said the same thing that he was expecting a horror flick.. https://www.imdb.com/video/vi2256452377?ref_=tt_pv_vi_aiv_1 (review begin at about 8 minutes)

The RAF 617 Dambusters squadron is still operational. They are now flying F-35. The first RAF squadron to receive the F-35. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._617_Squadron_RAF

Obviously you were not able to turn your head away from the trainwreck.

Blueberry (2004). Promising cast, promising and unique base story for a Western, occasionally grandiose visuals. Still, an existentialist meh.

Maybe I could have gotten more out of it had I been familiar with the Blueberry graphic novels (from the hands of Jean Giraud, no less, though he's misleadingly listed in the credits as Moebius when he actually undersigned the Blueberries as "Gir", reserving the Moebius handle for his other work). Standing on its own feet however the film is neither a convincing Western nor a convincing introduction to Shamanism, and much of the cast's great talent goes to waste. I can forgive the lack of a shootout showdown, but the shroom fueled spiritual end fight (if that was what I was supposed to read from the scenes) was, well, very psychedelic but equally not-making-sense. And it doesn't end where the film begins even though the opening scenes very much allude to it.
Maybe, "overly ambitious" is the best way to characterize it. My friend assured me that the film would be so much better on a large screen in the cinema. I don't belive him. I think the visuals some 15 years ago made him believe that it was a great film and he now discovered that it wasn't. Not saying that it sucks, but in the end it probably would have been better left to the Blueberry graphic novels.

It wasn't good. I watched 2 episodes and stopped.

Just did another run through, of the first 3 seasons, of F Is For Family. Pretty darn funny. The 4th season comes out June 12th on Netflix. I'm a fan of Bill Burr's comedy. I listen to his podcast regularly.

A 4th series? Awesome. Bill Burr is great. His 'Painter' rant was legendary. 'Did you paint or did you bust a nut'

yeah, he really fired up the painters haha. Love his comedy, I like how he is not afraid to attack anyone.

Do you like action movies? "Extraction." It stars Chris Hemsworth of Thor fame. This isn't some brainless shoot-em-up like the Fast and Furious series which I don't care for. There isn't any funny banter going on during the action sequences. There's hardly any humor it in, at all. It's gritty and violent as Hell. Good story, acting, and the camera work, during chase scenes, is impressive. Watch this.

So, more like Sicario?

Yes. But I wouldn't say it's quite up to Sicario's level, but it's very good. Sicario is one of my favorite films.

Been watching the old "I Spy" series on Amazon.

Like Mission Impossible it is great for nostalgia sake but the amount of things they do secretly that would never work in the modern society is just astounding.
