He's actually an excellent shooter. Does a lot of actual competition shooting. Very good at it. As an actor, I believe he peaked in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure...
As to Eyes Wide Shut, you have to respect a film where the key to the mystery is a very nice set of boobs...

the man died of shame for putting his name on that film

They were still a fine set. Casting for the part must have taken forever...

I’m enjoying The Outlaws right now. It’s an Amazon Prime/BBC original.

Wow. I literally cannot wait to miss that.
And, good Lord, that music is ghastly. Talentless hacks...

Eh. I lost interest with the MCU and all the trappings. Just a constant stream of one-ups, each film trying to out-spectacular the last. After a while, it just gets tired...

Oh, and 80 years ago today: 18 April 1942. The Doolittle Raid.

Tier 1
I had General Doolittle at our house when I was a kid. My dad knew him when he was Prez of Shell Oil And my dad was the Ventura oil field manager. Sent my dad a nice letter. He flew into Vandenberg AFB (was still a reserve officer) and had had staff car with General flags to visit the field. My dad was waiting at the gate in his 56 yellow Impala company car to show him around. Doolittle waved him in. He told the base commander he could have his staff car back and he’d drive with Jack (my dad). I remember him saying the MPs at the gate probably never saluted a yellow Impala before…

I have the book but have not read it yet. I enjoy the author and Into Thin Air is one of my favorite books.

Agreed, he does some great stuff. That Under the Banner book was fascinating although I’m sure some LDS members wouldn’t agree. Highly recommend you start reading it when you have time Doc.

Belfast is a very solid movie. Not exceptional in any way, just super solid. Surprised me how good it was

weird would have been to have nic in the movie cast as someone else while another actor played nic

Great author. Really enjoyed Into The Wild so tried Into Thin Air as well and loved that too. Continued on to Under the Banner of Heaven which is another good one, but Into The Wild is the one that has stuck with me after all of these years. Always thought it would be fun to go back and visit some of the places he went, but especially the bus in Alaska. Although I believe they moved it now as too many people were getting into trouble trying to pilgrimage there.
