Where the hell would television be on Memorial Day without WW2? This weekend I've watched Battleground, Destination Tokyo, The Steel Helmet, Pork Chop Hill.
My old man's favorite WW2 movie was The Enemy Below with Robert Mitchum. Great movie. Kurt Jurgens played the U-Boat captain. Dad used to quote him all the time: "Ve build zem goot in Germany, eh Heinie?"

Watch hustle on Netflix. It’ll make you like humanity again. Adam Sandler is really trying to earn that Oscar nod and be deserves it. And the Queen can still get if after 50. Great fucking movie. Last scene will make a man tear up like it’s rocky or saving private Ryan.
I rewatched Lawrence of Arabia on cable again. Man, that’s a big movie & considering it was made in 1962 it’s even bigger.

I just saw the last James Bond movie, No Time To Die. As an overall Bond movie it was average, but the last 10 minutes I ugly cried. Damn. Can't believe how it ended.
I'm a huge James Bond fan, I've seen every movie several times. I am left empty, I have no idea what they're going to do for the next one.

Dune 8.5/10 have really appreciated the scale that they did in this. Very true to the book and the original film. Was a bit of let down where it ended, was flying while watching it. But part 2 comes in November so all good!
The Northman 7.5/10. So because your king didn't lay with you the night he came home you had his brother kill him right after he made your son his heir? Sorry Nicole, but you earned that. Kinda sucks homie didn't live. That was intense.
The Contractor 6.5/10 started kinda sappy, he got kicked out for steroids? Then his pmc was gonna whack him? Is there any foundation like this in real life? Quite believable in some sense, especially going after the asshole that chose to whack you. Movie picked up quite a bit in the middle to end, beginning could have been flushed out a bit more.

Each new chapter gets just a bit more absurd and over the top than the previous one. Let's fucking go!

Saw Jordan Peeles new movie “Nope” last night. I enjoyed it, but be warned, it’s much less of a horror movie than it is a commentary on the movie industry in my opinion. If you’re just looking for a nonsense summer movie, I’d give it a pass.

That appears to be a reoccurring theme with his movies.
I never understood the hype around Get Out, it was much less of a horror movie and more of his personal commentary on veiled racism.

I enjoyed Get Out because it had a well thought out and unique story to tell with great acting and cool cinematography. Personally I can be a fan of movies if they have those elements even if I don’t care for the subject material itself.
But yeah regardless, his movie are not for everyone and I expect Nope to do much worse in the box office than his previous 2 films.
Peele is a big fan of Romero, Carpenter, and the Twilight Zone style of horror, which were always "horror as allegory" type of directors/shows.
He's stated before he doesn't want to do a horror movie just to be scary.

I was curious if anyone here would see it and what they'd have to say. It doesn't interest me at all but I'm also not a Jordan Peele fan. I think I'm on the same page as @Ooh-Rah; to me his movies seem to be the same tired shtick - he's very overrated.

Went to see Top Gun Maverick again. This time with my son who's home from West Point for summer break. Yeah, its still good.
Too lazy to scroll, to narcissistic to care...
The Gray Man was the awesome, completely throw-away action movie worth your time. Stylized, fun, ridiculous.
AND it's got Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling in a "which guy turns me" slugfest over the course of 120 minutes!!!
