I couldn't get interested in it as it seemed a bit too much like sci- fi disaster Nope, on which I wasted an inordinate amount of time. Its a pity though as Asteroid City stars Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson. Asteroid City (2023) - IMDb I agree, went straight in the recycle bin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your feedback. I am thoroughly enjoying the series. As someone who has flown extensively I consider flying can be somewhat boring but I find Hijack is not. Perhaps quietly spoken hijackers with holstered guns asking Idris to do a song and dance routine might by out of context with the title and the plane environment. I suggest different strokes...... 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People really need to watch this, for a snapshot of the deeper state, controlling the deep state, that controls Davos & Bilderberg, that is what you're allowed to see. Yea, that's some deep sh!t. free energy ... problem solved Just watch it .. and yea, I'm a conspiracy nut, guilty as charged, so no need for all the negatives to be post. Yes I do believe the premise, and no, I won't debate it, as there really is none. You'll be enlightened, and the silliness of the world may start to make sense.

xylophone Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I watched a little gem last night from a couple of years back, called, "Last Night in Soho" and it starred the delightful Anna Taylor-Joy and Thomasin McKenzie as well as a couple of oldies, namely Terence Stamp and Diana Rigg and it was a good movie with a very unexpected ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Yankie was a BBC contributor, and that Yankee (what American Indians called the British) was an American. In the US "Yanks" are from the northeast. So, if you're in the south, when you meet someone from the north, you might say, oh, you're a yank? Well yank on this... All that said, it is a shame how US movies and TV has all turned to crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted July 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2023 Louis C.K. at the Dolby Dark and edgy as expected. If you liked Louis C.K. before the "scandal" you'll like this, and vice versa. I'm glad he's back. I'd like to see him do tv series again. I think he's one of the greatest comics of our time. I read a critic of this show saying some of his material was weird because of the scandal and that he didn't address the scandal in this show. I find that ridiculous. Anyone that has followed him would know that his material when he started after the scandal went into that extensively. It's crazy that he should be obligated to rehash that for the rest of his life. For those weaker types that can't stomach that he's still working, then that's cool, don't watch him. Nobody is forcing them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I watched a movie that only had a 5.6 rating on IMDb, although I thought I'd give it a try, and was pleased that I did, because although it wasn't a magnificent film it was, IMO, better than the 5.6 rating it had been given. The film was called, "God is a Bullet" and was supposedly inspired by true events, although the ending became a bit of a gorefest, but overall it was very watchable.
