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)

Latest season of ?Better call Saul?, quite enjoyable.

Where I use quote marks above, they suddenly become question marks?

Way to go, Bob. Posting about a tv series in the movie thread.

I'm surprised. I wasn't interested based on the trailers. Does it fit cleanly into a certain genre? I assumed it was a comedy.

Yes, it is classic who done it, suspenseful with comedy thrown in. Go with and try and solve the murder

Ford v Ferrari. Christian Bale was great as Miles. Very engaging movie. McKinnon fit the Remington role well also.

Matt Damon wasn't the right choice for Shelby, didn't look remotely like him, didn't have any Shelby mannerisms or speech patterns. 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:

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.
