I stated earlier that Zodiac is an easy choice for me. I consider it a great film, with some really tense scenes. I loved the period it was set in and the actors were great.

Also, it doesn't hurt that I have always been fascinated by the Zodiac case.
I liked Streets of Laredo with James Garner, Sam Shepard and Sissy Spacek. However Spacek isn't near the beauty Diane Lane was. The book was very good but I always had trouble seeing how in the world Pea Eye pulled Lorena.

The book you posted was great. I preferred the Mel Gibson movie (topless native girls didn't hurt the film, lol) but the Brando movie was good also.

In summary, everything Bounty is worth watching and reading.
You aren't wrong. Reddit is full of beta liberals. They have no clue what our military is capable of. Then we could also utilize police forces, etc.

As stated previously in this thread, our citizens are armed and ready for any attack on our soil. Many of them probably look forward to such a scenario, lol.

Yep, now we are stuck with guys like Gus Johnson. He should be relegated to games like Ball State, etc. There are some good ones nowadays, however.

I also miss Summeral and Stockton and a few others.
Easy choice for me. Zodiac. It was that good.
Something new to me. I read the judge excused the jury while he expressed concern about the clothing worn by some observers in the courtroom. One group wore teal and the other orange.

EPIC:Elvis Presley in Concert

It was at IMAX for a week and now is showing at Regal Cinemas. Of course Lake Charles doesn't have a Regal Cinema and Beaumont is an hour away. I may drive that hour. It has been getting fantastic reviews. Possibly it will come to other cinemas since the reviews are so strong.

Baz Luhrmann directed it, mostly from 58 hours of footage he found in salt mines in Kansas while researching his 2022 film Elvis. Peter Jackson's team restored it. Elvis "narrates" through Interviews with him, including a 45 minute audio recording.

Has anyone here seen it?
I know him. He is an intense guy. I don't believe he has ever lost a case. Someone enlighten me if I am wrong.
The defense and state acknowledged shortcomings on the part of the lead investigator who testified at a preliminary hearing that due to a programming mishap some evidence and audio recordings were accidentally deleted. Yikes!

And Adam Johnson is her lawyer.
Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper, was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. That was one crazy dude.

In Lake Charles the KK's Corner murders is the most recent famous murders but for years it was Toni Jo Henry. She and her friend murdered Joseph P. Calloway after he picked them up hitchhiking. She was the only woman to be executed in Louisiana's electric chair (1942).

Beautiful lady, wow.
All good movies but my favorite sports movie is The Natural.
You might be the only guy on the planet that saw Montana play and think he wasn't a great quarterback.
Michelle Wie....now there is a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Damn good movie, terrific acting by the three leads. Bernal was a really good actor in this, Amores Perros and El Crimen del Padre Amaro. All three excellent movies.

If you like him and/or Diego Luna, check out Rudo y Cursi. It's a good one.
I bet both of these guys still spend money like they did 10 years ago. Old habits die hard.
