And a major hottie, or was, until all the plastic surgery, drugs, and other life decisions left her looking like a broke-down Porn star.

Don’t let Root hear you say that about her girl.

Here's the great 'slapping/drawing' scene from one of the fun Spaghetti Westerns, "Trinity is Still My Name".

The slapping starts about halfway into the video, but the whole scene here is just 2:40.

The later movie with him and Henry Fonda pretty good too. My name is nobody. Has a slap scene too

Wife and I just came across a 2 season show from the mid-aughts called Intelligence. About Canadian version of FBI trying to keep up with the Vancouver criminal underground. Really good. Leaves Netflix in late July, so hurry.

Sitting here watching another episode of this show and there’s one actor I know I recognize but couldn’t place it. Just hit me…it’s Max Headroom. Mind completely blown. Show might be ruined for me…at least the subplots involving him. Can’t see anything else now when he’s on screen.

There’s a new show on Amazon called Clarksons Farm. Only 2 episodes so far. The second one about sheep is hysterical

Just finished The Tomorrow War on Amazon. Not too bad, and action galore, wow. The aliens were intense.

Gets a bit corny in spots at the end and has what I thought were some minor plot holes (like every movie though) here and there but other than that, quite solid. I was easily entertained.

Just finished season 2 of Lupin.

8.5/10

Good stuff

Something to keep you amused until next Bond comes out in the Fall:

Heineken commercials are as bad as their skunky beer.

 

[Eight]

went and watched ff9 and decently entertaining if you can accept the basic refusal to accept certain laws of nature and science

then again if you watched the first 8 it is only a slight stretch for the series

Decent plot but they worked in Global Warming.
It was a fun watch.
Took me a few minutes then it dawned on me one of the "recruits" was Chloe from "24".

Watched two John Wayne movies today and both are classics in my book.

"The Searchers" and "Fort Apache".

I watched the great American classic The Great Outdoors the other night. Always a solid watch.

Watched The Searchers with my son the other night. Great movie.

Had many a thought about Kami as a young boy

I have never been a John Wayne fan. His movies were always bleh.

I always preferred Eastwood Westerns/movies to anything John Wayne did. Plus, my favorite “war” movie prior to Saving Private Ryan was Kelly’s Heroes

Have you seen "The Searchers"?

Plus you really need to expand your War Movies.
Saving Private Ryan was OK. Beyond the opening beach scene it was bleh.

I didn’t have a favorite until that movie came out. I liked other ones, but not enough to watch as often as I watched Kelly’s Heroes

I have a suggestion for you as far as war movies go. If you haven't seen it watch "Battleground" with Van Johnson.

Might I recommend: The Big Red One with Lee Marvin, The Wind and the Lion with Sean Connery as, well, about as convincing a part as Sir Lawrence Olivier in Khartoum, and A Bridge Too Far, with just about everybody they could round up who was a Big Star at the time.

Oh, and go watch Master and Commander again. Just cause.

The "War Movie" genre isn't really about war, necessarily, but more about friendships and trust in terrible situations. "Buddy Movies" with more blood and things blowing up than normal. It is as rare to find a good one as it is to find a good film in any area, but perhaps even more so now with the lack of knowledge displayed by writers in these sad times.
