Mrs Hemsworth, Interceptor is written and directed by Matthew Reilly, an Australian author, he does military chase books, very fast paced, total nonsense, fun reads.

I bought tickets to opening weekend of Top Gun. Maybe Hollywood hype, but I am really surprised at the number of ‘verified’ Twitter movie reviewers who are saying this is one of the greatest sequels ever made.

Sorry, I was going to quote my other message.

Top gun.

I purchased 6 IMAX times for the family for the 26th...we're so excited!! But I can't believe I spent $180 for movie tickets.

Any of you watch The King’s Man? (Prequel to the 2 Kingsman movies with Colin Firth)

I’ve heard very mixed reviews on this one. It’s either that tonight or Dead Pool again for the umpteenth time.

It's not a film I'd say I wasted money on when I saw it in theater, but it's also the type of film where I couldn't tell you a single character's name or remember any specific plot details/jokes.

It's a passable popcorn and beer movie, but that's about it.

Bought tickets to Top Gun. I’m pretty stoked.

I decided not to waste a great cigar night on a maybe. Put Eastwood’s “For a Few Dollars More” on instead. Have not seen it in years.

This just in ….

Navy recruiters share simultaneous orgasm - Air Force recruiters release memo stating that they fly too….

Anya Taylor-Joy...had never heard of her, but now I'm in love.

That aside, The Northman was fantastic. It was visually stunning, aside from some of the darker scenes, but that could be the projector since everyone seems to be digital nowadays. Kidman's performance was masterful.

I don't want to spoil it, so I can't speak of the film much, just that it didn't disappoint. Plenty of blood and gore as well as some interludes with the Seer.

Oh, you better like Alexander Skarsgård, this is his film. He is truly the Viking Berserker you imagine.

Worth seeing indeed.

The Northman was awesome...

I follow Ward Carroll on YouTube. He is a retired F-14 RIO and author, has worked for Naval Institute. He's pretty critical of military aviation movies (I think he has three vids on what's wrong/bad about Topgun). He saw this movie in NYC and said there are an equal amount of cringe-worthy moments, but it's the best military aviation movie, ever, with the best aerial cinematography.

I'm in.

But first I have to get past Downton Abby this Friday.

This looks entertaining.

 

[Devildoc]

Saw Downton Abbey last night. Very much enjoyed it.

This looks entertaining.

Explosions, automatic weapons, Black Sabbath...what's not to like?

Saw Downton Abbey last night. Very much enjoyed it.

I like British television. I like British movies, generally. They can still write intelligent scripts and their actors can act rings around most of ours. My wife is a Downton Abbey fan. I haven't boarded the bus yet but may.

We were watching "Around the World in 80 Days" (the David Tennant version) but we never finished it. We're kind of getting turned off by the trend of each and every production having to address racism. I'm not a racist. I don't need the message every time I turn on the TV.

 

[AWP]

This looks entertaining.

A movie about SEALs? That's so fucking cool! I haven't seen one of those since like breakfast or something. No, that was the local weather report. Hard to keep track of all their sightings. "...high's in the upper 80's with sunset around 8:38PM. Quarter moon, low visibility for you boaters and SDV drivers out there."

Props to the screenwriters for including hatchets. Art imitates life yet again?

The wife and I have binged the entire Downton Abbey series a time or two and will again. We love the series.

I spend a lot of time on British movies and different series. They continue to have great plot lines that I find missing in a lot of “our” movies.

That's why I said entertaining. It'll be good to kill time but I doubt it's an award winner.

Could be worse. I'm a ninjutsu instructor...
