Where can I watch this movie?

Otoko-tachi no Yamato https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451845/

There is a full movie on Vimeo but it's in Japanese with a guy talking over in another language https://vimeo.com/634122537

A clip of the final battle, it seem like a very poorly designed ship.

The AA triple guns need 3 people to load each gun: one magazine left, one center, one right. Each magazine only has 15 rounds and it's loaded from the top. Then there are scenes where the gun is firing and turning and firing, and those 3 loaders all have to hold the magazines so they stay in on the top of the gun.

Watched 1 hour+ before it register to me it's Jennifer Lawrence. I was thinking Scarlett Johanssen. They always confound me, they and Taylor Swift. I think they can be triplets.

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most overrated actors in Hollywood IMHO.

The Mega-Brands That Built America

E2 100 years ago, shipping packages was slow, and shipping overnight was impossible, until two Seattle brothers risk everything to reinvent shipping packages for all (UPS). And a tenacious Yale graduate creates a world-famous express delivery service that transforms shipping into the essential global industry we rely on today (FEDEX).

E4 In the late 1800s Americans rarely bathed, lived in filthy conditions and deadly diseases were commonplace. EEYUCK GROSS!! But James Gamble and Harley Procter invent a revolutionary new soap (Gamble and Procter were candle makers and they stumbled upon the formula for IVORY soap by accident.. IVORY soap is the very first product to be advertised nationwide) that revolutionizes America and opens up a market to entrepreneurs including King Gillette and Jacob Schick whose bitter rivalry will birth the shaving industry as we know it, spawning a new billion-dollar industry and changing Americans daily lives forever.

I did not know Procter Gamble, Gillette and Schick were names of their inventors

Second season of Reservation Dogs. A bit better than the first. Probably because the characters are already known and introduced and they can just get on with the plot. The one real annoying character was toned down slightly. There was on scene in the woods with a cult that was way over the top. It's not a bad show. Each season is also only ~22 minute episodes with 8 per season. It's short and they can't really do much in that amount of time.

The Searchers. I have no idea why or how I never saw this before. Epic rescue tale spanning seven or eight years. Mostly shot in Monument Valley so it's at least a visual treat to look at the gorgeous backgrounds.
It was made in 1956, so some of the acting and character reactions are a bit cheesy. That was the exception though, most of the movie seemed really well done.

Pirates of the Caribbean. Haven't seen it for awhile, but it's just a fun adventure movie. Even the soundtrack is fun.

Dampyr.



A Blade-adjacent vampire flick set during the Balkan war of the '90s.

Not great, not completely terrible.

Let me look on Amazon Prime. Thank you Crane.

Was ok, though I preferred the recent Nefarious as a movie about possession.

I thought The Pope's Exorcist was a pretty good movie. Perfect for film/pizza night with my bro

Wow, those 23 years since Gladiator have been really rough on Crowe.

I was told once you start aging, you body burning calories and fat starts to slow and then for many, they get fat almost overnight. I don't know if it's absolute truth. Guess I will find out one day.

I found Dampyr, Crane. It's not free for Prime member. it's $5.99 to rent. https://www.amazon.com/Dampyr-Wade-Briggs/dp/B0CBGCSHPM

It's a TV movie and you can see how horrible inacurrate it is.

Well he's close to 60 and he's playing a character who was a typically old looking 62 in 1987, so there was no incentive to make him appear younger.

This is essentially the German side version of "The Dirty Dozen" so it's not supposed to be historically accurate in any way, shape or fashion. This is like complaining that "Inglorious Basterds" from Tarantino wasn't historically accurate.

Ah yes, based on a book by Sven Hassel. I've read all his books based on the 'Penal Battalion' , some multiple times and they are very good. Very gritty, violent but entertaining. I watched the movie, I thought it sucked.

The Dirty Dozen was a great film. This German version was not

I was referring specifically to the lack of historical accuracy which YOU mentioned in the first place.

Watching long cut of Prometheus. 30 minutes more. I must say Charlize is a My-T fine fine woman.











I see her and I am reminded of Full Metal Jacket.



I bet Charlize won't be mighty cold.

She's hot, but "Promethius" does not deserve 30 more minutes of footage. The characters are morons.

Not stupid.

Morons.

Some of the dumbest clowns I've seen in a film.


Which is insulting, because the original characters in "Alien" were rock solid, and actually go a long way towards edging "Alien" over "Aliens" in terms of a quality experience.

Prometheus

The good: Beautiful cinematography and Michael Fassbender's performance.

The bad: Everything else but mainly the plot that had more holes than Bonnie & Clyde's death car and as Blastman mentioned, totally moronic characters whose motivations made zero sense.
