When I read about that, I realized that limp-wristed bitches were trying once again to rewrite history and to feed their regurgitated pap to lazy kids who would rather see the movie and take it for gospel instead of what really happened.

In that spirit, here's a hearty "F you" to those who seek to neuter American accomplishments.

Ya know, I meant to mention that when I said "Hollywood hates America" but forgot. So thanks for bringing that up. Love the Jockey thing.

ETA: Unfortunately, I didn't read anything about the movie before going. Just watched the trailer. Shame on me.

Spoiler alert! Neil Armstrong makes it back alive!!

I liked the part where Buzz asks Neil to paint him like one of his French girls.

Had to throw that one in since we're talking about movies. The Last Jedi was a trainwreck. Was hoping that Disney would bring some good into the franchise, but it seems they'd rather just crank out a bunch-O-shhhtuff.

This is one of the best nonpolitical commentaries on why TLJ is terrible.

No, it's not just you. I have to wonder how Clint Eastwood would have approached this film.

American exceptionalism is what made this country what it is, but the left can't stand it.

SPOILER ALERT

There's a few scenes later in to Season 3 of The Man in The High Castle where the nazi's discuss how they want to approach the new propaganda push.

They decide by erasing Every American History reference (like the left does with any resemblance to other than PC history) Statue of Liberty, Mt Rushmore etc. Today's and the future youth of the new GNR (German Nazi Reich) will grow up only knowing what the nazi's want them to know.
They're calling it Jahr Null / Year Zero - A New Beginning.

Sounds familiar to what the left has been doing for decades, only coming out more publicly since their defeat in 16 with RESIST

10 minutes into The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix and it might be one of my new favorites.
