Just think Pearl Harbor wouldn’t have happened with GPS and satellites


We ignored the radar images of massive amount of aircraft flying into Pearl Harbor, a Japanese submarine entering the harbor, intercepted diplomatic coded messages that ordered all diplomatic ties to be broken, a British intelligence report predicting the very attack that occurred, and finally, our own misguided ultimatum that forced Japan into attacking us. The FDR administration was criminal negligent and shockingly stupid in being surprised if they were even surprised at all. They wanted to enter the war, the American people did not.

My personal favorite:

That looks great. Guess they won’t have a shot at an academy award but that should be a badge of honor now.

You forgot,"its going to make money so that means its a good movie."
Holy shite is that real? LOL. This movie is going to be a joke.
I remember this movie having a really great set of naked tits in it.

‘21-Bill Callahan and Bonnie Prince Billie Blind Date Party
‘22-Spoon Lucifer on the Sofa

By this definition, the marketing (and indeed entire movie) for 300 was gay. Bunch of oiled up, muscular dudes wearing next to nothing? Clearly must be gay.


300 was the gayest thing since the volleyball scene in top gun. The Xerxes character alone was super gay. It was also about as historically accurate as The Odyssey appears to be. Just wait ‘til my dad comes home.

Great movie. It was Patricia Highsmith's debut novel. She is an awesome writer. Wrote the Tom Ripley series, which is also brilliant.
I like the Morby, Callahan, and Friko albums too. Saw them open for Modest Mouse and Flaming Lips and didn't know who they were. Great new band.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is one of my all time favorites. Never thought it got the credit it deserved. Funnyfarm with Chevy Chase is great. Matewan by John Sayles. Matchstick Men with Cage is one of his best movies but rarely never gets mentioned in his best of.

$8.99 with ads. WTF are the ads for? I get Spectrum through my condo HOA dues and that comes w/ a ton of +ads streaming like DIsney+, Peacock, Paramount+, HBO, etc. Netflix and Prime are not remotely worth it.
Didn't they fire Tom Hardy? What's the point of watching when you know S. 3 will go to shite w/ that character gone?

It was a brilliant movie. Legit creepy. Amy Madigan deserved her Oscar. Thought the other actors were great too. One of the best movies I’ve seen in years. The cop and the meth head were hilarious too.

Came here to post that.



I'll go with Tommy Bolin and Mick Ronson (don't understand why Bowie ever let him walk).

No, they don’t sound like they did 40 years ago; who does?


They? Only 72 year old Neil Schon is with "Journey" now. They are basically a mediocre cover band. I don't get the desire to see the current pathetic versions of once great bands.

There goes any hope that Zendaya would play Chani instead of Zendaya.


She did that in the first two and they still managed to be good. How this woman gets cast in Dune and The Odyssey is beyond me. This movie looks awesome.

That's good to know. When I first heard this announced I figured it was an original script and be some trash like Gladiator 2. Actually excited for this now. I like the cast so far.


I was very skeptical when I first heard about the movie on this board but posters noted the story is by Michael Mann and Edgar Award winner Meg Gardiner so I'm in unitl I find out Neil McCauley is played by Elliot Page.

Not a fan of that town or campus. And how do you not have any good restaurants downtown (well, maybe a steakhouse)? Guy Fiere's? LOL
I didn’t like or care for the characters or what would happen to them and quit watching about 1/2 hour in.
