Gentleman of Moscow,

Strangely woke, plenty of blacks and a few from India in 1920 Moscow, but no Russian Asians.

 I guess the Russian Asians never made it to Hollywood.

 

Bit dull as well!

Dirty Little Letters (new British movie) set in the 1920's has a black lady judge, and a female Indian police officer. They just can't help themselves.

Tim Dillons Book & Netflix Standup special on Boomers is out soon...  Can't wait.

 

In the meantime:

 

 

The Dig --- Movie Crime---Ireland 2019

I liked this --Low Budget Irish Crime film--Good acting has a twist at the end---A bit dark

Like most Irish stuff it can be difficult to find, I got from Chaos... Not to be confused with --The Dig 2021

Northern Ireland so the accents can be stronger. If you want subs  https://subttsearch.com/subtitle-details/?imdbID=tt7512276#gsc.tab=0

Made best Irish Movie that year.

 

 

Saw "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" today: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) - IMDb

 

Not really a Godzilla or monster movie fan, but this was actually a pretty good picture. Saw it at Mega Cineplex in an LG LED theater and it was pretty great audio visually. No shortage of silliness, but all in all a pretty good watch. I'll go 7/10, but I'd guess a 5-6/10 if I'd have watched it at home. 

 

Kind of a bummer they did not get to hear BOC's "Godzilla" in the soundtrack, but you can't have everything.

It is important to recognize that art, including cinema, frequently employs anachronism to question our views and stimulate reflection.

 

The producers of 'Dirty Little Letters' might be utilizing their medium to showcase the strides we have achieved in diversity and representation.

 

Ultimately, a film's worth is not solely in its adherence to historical fact, but in its power to captivate, amuse, and educate us.

Or just to avoid a strike and or boycott. 

An unorthodox very entertaining murder mystery with lots of unusual twists.

Been waiting for this Fallout full series dropped

Been playing the game for ages, hope the series lives up to hype, going for the 30GB torrent

 

 

 

It's probably been mentioned already, but having enjoyed The Gentlemen movie, I've binged on the series for 2 days and I can only say that Guy Ritchie's done it again, it's f....i ng brilliant!

Illuminati

Documentary - The Intruder: He's Watching You from Within

 

In the blistering hot summer of 1984, a sadistic predator is terrorising rural Britain. This is the story of the desperate police manhunt for The Fox, one of the most prolific and depraved offenders in British criminal history.

 

 

 

Yes I know that many people aren't interested in watching yet another show about the holocaust, but it is just so happens that We Were The Lucky Ones is a worthy show regardless. As it's based on a true story and it is character based, the viewer experience is to feel the experience of how things happened in a more personal way. When you're living in a historic time and horrible stuff happens, you don't know the bigger picture, it's just happening and you need to respond to it the best way you can, and each person that dealt with it dead or alive mostly dead, was a person that had their own individual experience based on their life circumstances and character. Not just statistics.

 

 

Fallout complete season out today.

200 years after a nuclear war in the 1950s a few people emerge from their underground shelters.

 

I've watched the first 2 episodes , very entertaining but incredibly violent.

In this case it's the wokeist's  changing history to fit their woke agenda

but in other cases "they"   are The Hierarchy Enslaving You.

I find people getting overexcited over diverse casting to be racist.

Someone who is woke is very aware of social and political unfairness.

 

What definition have you decided fits?

I find people who re write history with "diverse casting"  to be wokeist.

I have no (not much)  problem with modern characters being diverse except that it often goes over the top...bit like the Google gemini AI woke debacle.

 Period correctness over political correctness gets my vote.

Alcatraz (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1728102/) popped up in the "Recently added TV Shows" on my TV Box & I remember watching some of it but couldn't remember how it ended so set about re-watching from the start. 

 

Got to the end & found out why I couldn't remember the story ending, Season 2 got canned so you're left with a lot of unanswered questions... 

 

Quite an enjoyable show if you're happy to never find out the full story behind how the convicts disappeared/re-appeared 50 years later 😞 

 

Do Not Watch if you need your TV Shows to have a satisfactory ending

For those with certain socio-ideological sensitivities perhaps the Motion Picture Association could start a new film classification. 🙂

I've watched this and it was very good IMHO.

My definition of woke  would be

political correctness gone mad on gender bending drugs

combined with anti "white" racism and a huge splash of hypocrisy.

 

Definitions can change,  remember gay used to mean happy.
