If you are into superheroes movies and shows then you might be interested in Peacemaker, a new series from DC starring John Cena which is now streaming on HBOmax.

But, why does there always have to be a very explicit gay couple in almost every new movie? Preferably black and white.

Yes, I sit with wife now, when watching, with anticipation of:

 

Gay couple ... check

Interracial couple ... check

Oppressed race reference ... check

 

Gay interracial couple ...  budget cuts

Someone in another thread pointed out that those that complain about the all the "woke"ness prevalent in today's entertainment are mainly the "deplorables".

 

It doesn't really matter to me as I focus on the plot, the quality of the acting, the cinematography, etc. The "woke"ness is nothing I consider, unlike some here where it seems to be the only thing they consider. I guess that means that I'm not a deplorable.

Wow, that's amazing.  I can do all that, and check off the expected wokeness, when they show, and they will.

 

Can also chew gum & walk at the same time.  You going to spin that into a deplorable state of mind also.

I am not usually a fan of super hero stuff but did enjoy the Deadpool movies.

 

I enjoyed the first episode of Peacemaker so downloaded Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad movies to know the back story.  Watching the 1st movie and I think I may need a break from super heros for a few days. I hope the 2nd movie and the rest of the series is better than the 1st movie.

 

I found the John Cena movie Vacation Friends funny so think I will like the Peacemaker series.

To me, it depends on whether what I am watching is fiction or not...  E.g. I would find it ridiculous & impossible to watch a movie documenting the Beatles that had the 4 as anything other than 4 white males.... 

 

NB I'm not a Beatles fan (before my time) so probably wouldn't watch it anyway but it felt like a good example of where you cannot change history without it impacting the watchability of the movie

 

There are also some fictional characters that I would struggle to watch if they changed them too much... E.g. a gay or female James Bond would completely change the character of Bond (last movie was bad enough, he didn't get his leg over & got knocked-back twice!!! ) - I would love to see Idris Elba play the part though as I think he'd be brilliant & carry off Bond's "Character" perfectly.

 

 

Back OT: I really enjoyed "The Innocent Man" which is based on John Grisham's only non-fiction book... absolutely shocking what happened to those guys...

Sorry I have a netflix subscription (find it invaluable for English/Thai subtitles depending on what we're watching) so I watched it on there, but the full version might be on Youtube as it's about 4 years old now. 

 

I tuned into the BBC iPlayer a couple of days ago and watched a documentary called, Jack the Ripper – – The Case Reopened, and it was extremely good IMO, as I've always been interested in these murders and why they happened.

 

They investigated the suspects which had been spoken about over the years and came to a different conclusion, and used modern day techniques to solve the problem of who the ripper was, and it seems they have succeeded.

 

On another note, I downloaded and watched a movie called, "Ray Donovan" and was a little perplexed about it and certain aspects which I couldn't understand, so perhaps I would have had to have watched some of the series to be in the know??

I have watched all the Ray Donovan series  but I couldn't understand the movie except the bit where as a young RD he helped a movie get out of a jam and thus found a niche career

Its not always as black and white as you suggest. For example old time westerns rarely show black or gay cowboys, yet they definitely existed and black ones were very common.

 

 

The PC loonies even cast The wife of Henry The Eighth  Ann Boleyn as a black woman! But she was white. This crude propaganda is idiotic.  Imagine if the Zulu chief Chaka Khan was played but a tennesee redneck..lol

'During the Stalin era, Russian history was rewritten to conform to the political demands of an increasingly controlling regime. Limitations were imposed upon all sectors of culture, corresponding to the demands placed upon ideologists for a single, unified genealogy of the Bolsheviks' pre revolutionary precursors.'

Bay is now on series 3. An English production, crime drama  set in the Northern town of Morecombe. Worth a watch.

It’s called The Bay ( 2019 ) and can be found on the streaming sites fmovies.to, tinyzonetv.to , and my current go to streaming site, hdtoday.tv

Downloads, I’m not sure but the correct title should help , don’t confuse with another The Bay series from 2010 or a movie from 2012

If the name of the series or movie recommended is wrong and there are no details as to where it can be found, it makes it a little difficult if not impossible to track down.
