Hmm. Wasn?t too excited about it after the preview. I was afraid it couldn?t hold a candle to Top Secret from 1984.

Different genres, really. The trailer for JoJo makes it appear more comedic or satirical than it really is (and it isn't a satire)Quote:

Where I use quote marks above, they suddenly become question marks?
Way to go, Bob. Posting about a tv series in the movie thread.
Yes, it is classic who done it, suspenseful with comedy thrown in. Go with and try and solve the murderQuote:

His acting never changes, it was the same dude that was on Mars, but with an occasional poorly inserted drawl. I kept thinking a younger Tommy Lee Jones would have been pretty good as Shelby.
I get that. Carroll Shelby was a Texas chicken farmer and was usually the tallest guy in every picture you see of him. Matt Damon is from Boston and is 5'10". Not the best job of casting.
Last night we finished watching Chernobyl, the 2019 HBO mini series depicting the 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Very well done and I recommend it mostly because it presents an accurate picture of the Soviet Union and it's corrupt Marxist culture of lies and coverup.
The reality of the closed and punitive nature of communist societies isn't taught in schools today--which is one reason that Sanders and Warren have gained the support of younger followers. If only this series would be widely shown on broadcast and cable TV next fall before the election, just maybe the neo socialist kids would get an inkling of life in a totalitarian society. It should scare the bejesus out of every freedom loving person.

Chernobyl Diaries was excellent..... a lot of technical details I don't ever recall being published.
It was a disaster which could have been exponentially worse. I think the building cover was recently completed, summer of 2019.
Sounds like great information for this thread:

So.... who is excited to watch 60* year old navy captain flying a f18? Who is excited to watch his friends son who is in 40s** getting into flight school?
* 21grad+5 Lt promotion+ (2020-1986)=60
** ~6age+ (2020-1986)=40
Top gun 3
Maveick becomes a secretary of defense at age of 78.
He is only one who can teach top gun during WW3.
8g for 13 second at age 78 would be interesting.
I'm actually eager to see the new Top Gun 2: Maverick. I love seeing the aerial footage and from what I hear, very little of it is CGI. I loved the aerial footage in the first one and HD cameras have improved immensely since then.

I?ll probably watch it (when it comes out to rent) strictly for nostalgia. The eighties was an excellent decade for fun movies.
...and music.Quote:

The trailer intrigued me at first, watch it for the full-facepalm moment.

ETA:
With all the content that is available, do they really need to be THAT inspired? I mean come on... things like the Battle off Samar would blow minds and look "hollywood" without any creative writing.
lol, OxArt :)
You mean the torpedo bouncing off the hull? I didn't have sound when I watched it....Quote:

Artistic license..... [Coffee]Quote:

[LOL] If you had the sound off you'd somewhat miss that.Quote:

Since studios are releasing new movies direct to rental has anybody rented "The Hunted" yet?
Briefly considered it, but the rental is like $20. I'll wait for the later release and buy it for that price.Quote:

For a UBoat, surface maneuvering preserved the subs mobility as top submerged speed was less than half surfaced and battery life short at top speed.
Sure, but that's not what was pictured in the trailer.
No. Thought about watching the Invisible Man.Quote:

plus you don't have to tell the kids behind you to SHUT UP!Quote:

Hopefully your floors aren't as sticky as well.Quote:

Nice. Might try it again for free. Tried a free trial years ago and it didn?t stream so well so ended my service before I had to pay.Quote:

Like, I am trying to support medical facilities and gov operations. Just saying...
And yea, here I am consuming bandwidth complaining. LOL.
I'm down a little bit, but it's not bad (wife is upstairs with VPN into the office):
Attachment 80550
Mine is just completely crapping out.
I normally get 300-325Mbps down, 12 Up.

We already know that the issue is that Gman is hoarding the data.
Ha. Your upload speeds aren?t any better than mine.Quote:

My daughter and I just finished "The SpongeBob Movie" being underwater they're kinda the same....
A couple nights ago I streamed the original "Heavy Metal". That movie kind of makes sense when I watched it sober. YMMV
