I was not forced to see that one Bum, but I did see the last Nicholas Sparks one. That movie was as predictable as my morning shit. Apparently all the ladies were oblivious, not a woman in that theatre with dry eyes when the lights came on.

While it is a sad story, it's one that needs to be told on the big screen. Also good publicity for D1 wrestling. Looks like they did good with the story too and honoring to the Schultz brothers. Sad story all around.

Update. I've viewed several flicks lately. Some new. Some old.

The Shallows: no bueno. Unrealistic.

Nerve: so-so. Sort of teeny-bopperish.

The Purge 1,2 & 3: Ok. Some poor acting, butI like the premise.

Tarzan: Little slow. Ok movie.

Suicide Squad: I liked this movie. Action-packed. Something different.

Jarhead: Old movie. Little bit slow. Not as much blowing up and shooting as I expected.

10 Cloverfield Lane: Something unique. I liked this.

Prison Break -- Terrible acting.

127 Hours -- Good flick. Made me think of many of us who venture into the nowheres alone. Shit happens quickly.

Don't Breathe -- Loved it.

Yes, very smooth power of speech. 

You always pick up on some new minutia when you re-watch or reread something.  This go-around with Ken Burns was no exception.

I never realized, or thought about, the two sides calling on the same deity for assistance, and trusting that deity was on their side.   It just seems odd to me.

Yeah, The Revenant was a cool movie. Wore me out watching it. It was very loosely based on facts, but the scenery, bear attack, time-period costumes, etc. were all amazing.
I read somewhere that Jim Bridger's descendants weren't happy about the way he was portrayed, but that part of the story was accurate. The young Bridger did leave Glass to die.

I really liked the Revenant, too. I have always been fascinated with the Hugh Glass story. When I found out they were making a movie about it, I was stoked. Then I found out that DiCaprio was playing Hugh Glass and I was pissed, because I hate DiCaprio. I will have to admit that he did a good job, though. I was pleasantly surprised.

As for historical accuracy, the original ordeal that Glass went through was probably even worse than the movie made it out. He had a badly broken leg at first, too. He did not have a son with him in real life. And he did not kill Fitzgerald, because he had enlisted in the Army by the time Glass caught up with him and his commanding officer threatened to hang Glass if he went after him.

I didn't like the Revenant - it took a lot of liberties with what has been passed on in tales and written record.

There are a lot of good Hugh Glass written stories - some wind themselves into novels,  others claim to stick to the record.  Some I've read and still have on my bookshelf are:

Give Your Heart To The Hawks- A Tribute to the Mountain Men - Winfred Blevins - Brilliantine Books
This Reckless Breed of Men - Robert Glass Cleland - Knopf / Borzoi Books
Tales of The Mountain Men - Edited by Lamar Underwood - Lyons Press
The lives of Mountain Men  - Bill Harris  - Lyons Press
The Mountain Men - George Lycock - Lyons Press

Probably the best movie that uses the Hugh Glass story as an anchor is Man in the Wilderness (1971)

It is sad.  You have been warned.

I enjoyed though. Really was rooting for him to fuck his ex again.  She got hotter at the end of it.

Edit: not as sad as "The Fault in Our Stars," if you need a metric.

Marriage has really did a number on you eh?

At first I was kind of thought it was sad just to be sad but all the story lines seem to come together in the end.  I thought it was pretty good but will def remember it for being sad rather than great.  Doubt I'll ever watch it again.

Probably the best movie that uses the Hugh Glass story as an anchor is Man in the Wilderness (1971)

Although I am a huge fan of Richard Harris (see youtube below for laugh), and I enjoyed The Man in the Wilderness, I don't agree with Al.


In the Revenant there was attention to detail, realism and absolute beauty.  Plus the guns were right – a couple of freaky loading or not loading/firing scenes, but the guns were correct for the period.  Add this type of period accuracy to the use of natural light makes The Revenant an amazing feeling movie  -- immersing the viewer in imaginary sensations.  This atmosphere may only be available on the big screen.  I've seen the movie multiple times at home and it remains entertaining, but it ain't even close to the multiple times I saw it at the theater.

He likes Seinfeld, Longmire, and Justified.  Got a pass from me.  But then again, I probably watch the least amount of movies on this board.  Wife bought me Revenant for Christmas, a movie I actually want to see, and it is still in the plastic wrap on the movie shelve.  I haven't watched a movie that wasn't kid related with daughter yet this year.  Ain't nobody got time for that.

Now if you all want to talk about Disney Movies, I got you covered on that!

I just watched the film Mission Control based upon Go, Flight!: The Unsung Heroes of Mission Control, 1965-1992 (Outward Odyssey: A People's History of Spaceflight) (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0803269374/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0803269374&linkCode=as2&tag=bluridflyfiss-20&linkId=d52d91801a618d5934a34a69cd93779c)

They were only taking cash for the book at the screenings so I had to pass on the signed copy.

Movie is available to screen on Amazon too.

Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9LDWKP/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B06X9LDWKP&linkCode=as2&tag=bluridflyfiss-20&linkId=23cd3e3231e691c8e5cd84394c4db0ff)

The movie was as captivating as Apollo 13...
I really enjoyed it. The author is from Yadkinville and there was a story about him in the WS Journal

I totally agree with you. The end is kind of depressing and there are some gaps, but it is well done.

Unrelated... If you are a military history buff, go see Dunkirk. It is very good. I really hate military themed flicks that are overloaded with special effects that lack realism and take liberties with History. I'd say this rates right up there with The Great Raid.

Go see Dunkirk.

We were probably the youngest couple in the theater yesterday afternoon.

The wife wanted more character development.  She wanted more American Hollywood-style war movie.  I thought it was done well. 

I read an article about how the movie is full of defeat.

It is not.

It displays some of the harsh realities of war and the human condition - good and evil. 

I have never been to war.  I have never served in the armed forces.  I am grateful to all of my family and friends over the years who have.  I have a great respect for the warrior spirit in the men whom I know and the women who have supportrd, and many of them lost, those men.

Dunkirk portrays soldiers. 

Dunkirk portrays non-American soldiers at war -getting beaten yet not giving up.  The fact that it is about British and French warfare in WWII is unique to the modern era and much needed.

It is full of grit, determination, will to survive - if only to fight another day;  it is full of the desire to see home, to see victory. 

It is full of hope.

Yep. This is accurate. After you serve you tend to shoot holes in Hollywood war films. You find inaccuracies in everything from weapons to uniforms and equipment. They overdo the special effects to raise the drama. Not the case here. Damn accurate film and well done. Like I said in an earlier comment, it's probably the best one since The Great Raid. That remains my favorite, but Dunkirk is awesome.

Apparently this guy appreciated the movie. He is a survivor of Dunkirk.

Quote"It didn't have a lot of dialogue. It didn't need any of the dialogue because it told the story visually and it was so real."

The movie Dunkirk tells the terrifying story of the evacuation of allied troops from the French city of Dunkirk.  It's thrilling entertainment for most viewers, but for just a handful of people in the world, it contains images that bring back memories of surviving Dunkirk.

"I was in those little boats picking them out of the water," Sturdy said.

He was a 20-year-old signal man with the Royal Navy helping evacuated soldiers reach waiting boats from the chaos on the beach.

"I had the privilege of seeing that film tonight and I am saddened by it because of what happened on that beach," Sturdy said.

We went and saw The Current Wars last night and although I thought it would be a nerdy or geeky movie it turned out to be quite entertaining as Edison, Westinghouse, and Tesla battle to bring their conflicting ideas on how the county should be electrified. Although a bit disjointed because it covers so much discovery and invention in such a short movie, the main characters strong personalities make a dramatic tension that culminates with the winning bid to electrify the Chicago Worlds Fair.

The movie has several dramatic flashback scenes one of which involves Westinghouse's encounter with a Confederate soldier, reminding us how little time has past since the end of that bloody conflict!

I give it 4 lightbulbs!

Just watched The Trail of the Chicago 7 on NF https://www.netflix.com/title/81043755 and was taken back in time to the late sixties. I was on Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands during the trial and all the news we got was from Armed Forces Radio. Upon returning to the states in 1970 I became caught up in the counter culture of the time and became an anti-war protester and followed the news about the Yippies and SDS and all the sit-ins and demonstrations. Turbulent times for sure.

The file is well produced and very engaging with historical footage intertwined with the recreated Chicago demonstrations. It would be impossible to translate the six month long trial into a two hour film but they do an admiral job recreating the courtroom drama.

Full on pandemic binge mode led me to Netflix's Manhunt Deadly Games

https://youtu.be/jbMy1vedRLk

Its 10 episodes cover's the whole Atlanta bombing, Richard Jewel, Eric Rudolph saga.

I thought it was very well done until they got into the militia in the Nantahala -- they had enough to make it interesting without all this fictional involvement protecting and then joining in on the manhunt for Eric.

So after watching that I followed up with Clint Eastwood's movie, Richard Jewel

now I'm a Hollywood expert on the subject. At the end of the NF series it mentioned the Eric wrote a 243 page account of how he evaded the FBI for five and a half years. A quick search revealed that it's online as a pdf.

https://www.armyofgod.com/EricRudolphPDFLinesOfDrift10_23_13Final.pdf

It's an interesting read and covers the ground that he traveled, camped and hid out in, as well as his early life growing up. It is filled with his political and moral views but those chapters can be skimmed over or ignored.

I converted the PDF to mobi to read on the kindle... pm if you want that format

Just finished Eric Rudolph's fictional account of his crimes and life "on the run"

It's interesting for a while but after the first 6 months his tale begins to become unbelievable.

I skipped over most of his political and moral writings as they aim to justify his crime.

We just finished a good movie/series run.
I can recommend:
The 2018 A Star Is Born. Bradley Cooper directs and stars. Does his own singing, too.Lady Gaga is awesome.

https://youtu.be/bo_efYhYU2A

The Queens Gambit on Netflix. Season one, 7 episodes.
The story, the acting, the music, Anya Taylor-Joy's eyes. Really, really good.

https://youtu.be/iV9b7fFjcoY

The Outpost on Netflix. Based on Jake Tapper's book. Holy shit. You will flinch more than a few times. And drink.
The Bulwark podcast has a great episode with Jake talking about his interest in the story, the book , the filming, and his relationship with the soldiers and their families. Really, really good listen.

OK - this one is a little out there and not in the same ball park as most (all?) of the previously mentioned excellent movies, but try "Soul" on Disney+ if you get it.  This isn't a kid's movie IMHO, but a thought provoking and musically cool way to spend some time.  Like Bagger Vance was really about the Bhagavad Gita, and Ground Hog day was about Karma Yoga, ths one examines the Bardo for all you Tibetan Book of the Dead fans.  Not a fan?  That's OK, I think you will find this unique movie interesting at the very least and worth the time.

Or not.  You hold the controller after all.  My $.02.

New film chronicles environmental 'outlaw' Ken Sleight's fight to restore Glen Canyon
"The Unfinished Fight of Seldom Seen Sleight" will be screened for free online Tuesday.


>>>When river runner, wilderness guide and legendary environmental provocateur Ken Sleight tells his life story, he likes to start at the beginning.
"I'm a farm boy from Paris," he often says. "Paris, Idaho."

Sleight grew up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but when he uses words like "temples," "paradise" or "heaven" now, at the age of 91, it refers to an earthly fold of the Colorado Plateau, a place he first visited in 1955, named Glen Canyon.

As one of the few commercial outfitters to guide rafts through Glen Canyon prior to its submersion under Lake Powell in the 1960s, Sleight remains haunted by the lost beauty of a place that few non-native Americans experienced as a flowing river.

"I don't understand human thinking — to destroy temples, cathedrals," Sleight says in the opening sequence of a new film by Sageland Media, "The Unfinished Fight of Seldom Seen Sleight."

https://www.sltrib.com/news/2021/01/10/new-film-chronicles/

"The Unfinished Fight of Seldom Seen Sleight'' will be screened for free at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 12, by the Utah Film Center. Doug Fabrizio of KUER's Radio West will moderate a question-and-answer session after the screening featuring filmmakers and others. The film will only be available for viewers who tune in during the livestream event. Visit https://www.utahfilmcenter.org/event/the-unfinished-fight-of-seldom-seen-sleight/ for more information and to pre-order the livestream.

If you are a foodie, like to see new scenery, or like a good life's journey story (or all of the above) stream Netflix's Chef's Table.
Yesterday, we watched an episode about a female Korean Monk that was fascinating. Some episodes have subtitles. We went to Korea, Russia and Sicily yesterday. 6 seasons.
Some of it is really mind blowing. Extremely well done.
There is a France sub-set and a BBQ sub-set from 2020, also.

>>>This is probably not the way the American Documentary and Animation Film Festival wanted to mark its 10th year in Palm Springs. Instead of a darkened theater bonding an audience through the art of film, the festival is again connecting virtually — whether it's at home, on a device, or at a drive-in movie.

And yet the spirit of the festival remains intact — celebrating film.

Ken Burns Hemingway premiers 4/5/21

hemingway.jpg


Tune in or Stream Monday, April 5 at 8/7c
Hemingway, a three-part, six-hour documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, examines the visionary work and the turbulent life of Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest and most influential writers America has ever produced. Interweaving his eventful biography — a life lived at the ultimately treacherous nexus of art, fame, and celebrity — with carefully selected excerpts from his iconic short stories, novels, and non-fiction, the series reveals the brilliant, ambitious, charismatic, and complicated man behind the myth, and the art he created.

Scams scams scams.  A movie about the Sackler family is needed.  Tammy Faye was a conspicuous person whom most know much about, but the Sackler family is a different matter.

20 years from now, I suspect retrospectives will be produced on the whole child transgender scam.

Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle, a movie was released in 2021 and won many awards at film festivals.
It's a fictionalized account of Hiroo Onoda, one of the last holdouts Japanese soldiers of WWII. He didn't surrender until his former commander was flown into the Philippine Island of Lubang to issue direct orders to Onoda. When he finally returned to Japan he was treated as a hero.

https://youtu.be/BRl_DrPr_co

Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle is only available with a UK ip address and streamed through vimeo, so fire up your VPN to watch it.

https://vimeo.com/ondemand/onoda10000?autoplay=1

https://youtu.be/oTOHCX5JdiQ

But he was no hero to the people of Lubang

Watch this 9-minute trailer for the documentary Searching for Onoda, which, I think, is still in production.

Caught up on some movie watching and hit the jackpot.

This one far exceeded my expectations. Highly entertaining, and some very well written serious lines as well. No Western contrived PC bullshit here.

The Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer

Guests are not allowed to view images in posts, please Register or Login


One day in the spring of 1954, J. Robert Oppenheimer ran into Albert Einstein outside their offices at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. Oppenheimer had been the director of the institute since 1947 and Einstein a faculty member since he fled Germany in 1933. The two men might argue about quantum physics — Einstein grumbled that he just didn't think that God played dice with the universe — but they were good friends.

Oppenheimer took the occasion to explain to Einstein that he was going to be absent from the institute for some weeks. He was being forced to defend himself in Washington, D.C., during a secret hearing against charges that he was a security risk, and perhaps even disloyal. Einstein argued that Oppenheimer "had no obligation to subject himself to the witch hunt, that he had served his country well, and that if this was the reward she [America] offered he should turn his back on her." Oppenheimer demurred, saying he could not turn his back on America. "He loved America," said Verna Hobson, his secretary who was a witness to the conversation, "and this love was as deep as his love of science."

"Einstein doesn't understand," Oppenheimer told Ms. Hobson. But as Einstein walked back into his office he told his own assistant, nodding in the direction of Oppenheimer, "There goes a narr," or fool.

Due to logistics we settled for the lower quality imax at the Palladium in high point

The film was awesome and the 3 hour runtime (plus 30 for previews) went by quickly — never needed to look and see how much time was remaining - two thumbs up — it's a must see for 2023 and I'm certain that it will be nominated for several academy awards!

A masterpiece of film making!

Was there an intermission? My fear with such a long show is that I'd miss too much traveling to the restroom 3 or 8 times because I "thought" I had to take a pee. 😬
