Good one about some top notch scam artists.

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.

I was fascinated by the story of clockmaker John Harrison creating a timepiece that was accurate enough for longitudinal navigation at sea.

I ran across this BBC history of the world episode on the clock that changed the world.

One of the greatest inventions of all time. A sextant will tell you your approxamate latuide when measured a dusk and dawn, but you need that clock to determine exactly where you are.

Elvis fan here. I heard it was really good and Austin Butler is a genius. Hoping to see it soon.

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.



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



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.

Another Ken Burns masterpiece. Available on PBS.

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.



I highly dislike Its A Wonderful Life.  This one much better suited for the holiday season.

Lest we forget.
The pilot and first episode were intriguing
New episodes Monday nights on National Geographic, or streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
