Glass Onion was a milder mind twist mystery that held my attention. Little silly, but again held my attention for most part. Rating 6.3/10

Did you watch Knives Out?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Found it, downloading now. Does seem very similar just judging by the trailer.

Vergette and I enjoyed both of them.

Watched “Where the Crawdads Sing” last night and was very disappointed.  Not worth the time.

We saw it in the movie theater. I agree with your assessment.
Brothers, sisters, come on down to that river
Guaranteed you'll never be the same
There's a fountain flowing from the heart of the Savior
Bring your sins and all your guilty stains
Let that river of life wash it all away

Last night:
The Day The Earth Caught Fire -- 1961 Brit film about how the Earth has been knocked off-axis and out-of-orbit by nuclear testing. Actually quite good. Can be found on the net.

Tonight:
Where Have All The People Gone -- 1974 tv movie.

"24" with Keiffer Sutherland. The excitement never lets up.

Will trent- Hulu. Police procedural- interesting first episode
Eli Stone- Lawyer develops a Brain aneurysm and receives visions directing him on cases. little on the bizarre side, but interesting first 2 episodes.

My wife and I watched "Eli Stone" back when it first ran on network TV - ABC, I believe.  We enjoyed it, but it got cancelled before they could resolve everything, if I remember right.
Let it burn.

   After a couple of more hits, I'm gonna go to bed and watch 'Bad Day at Black Rock' for the umpteenth time and thoroughly enjoy it.

I remember that one, One armed man that pokes around a town that doesn't want him poking into their past. It was pretty good, Spencer made a good ole tough guy character.

I did Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider this afternoon... I was on a long HDD grind, so Command Central was busy... I started out coding with the movie in the background, but soon enough, I just took the time off and enjoyed myself.

Been following a series on NetFlix called 'the Sinner'. Kind of a throwback by the book detective show which relies on dialogue and crime scene clues to solve the mystery. Instead of magic technology such as CSI, this is an old detective investigating scenes and leads, interviewing suspects and witnesses to get to the bottom of each crime.

The twist is, the detective is emotionally damaged from his childhood. Not in the cartoonish Mr. Monk the 'all knowing' way. But in a more down to Earth psychological problems kind of way. He uses his own disfunction to relate to, and to understand the psychopaths he is attempting to catch.

It is a slow moving show. But for me, I enjoy it. It does not have super computers, gadgets, or hyperintelligence. It is just a slow moving investigation doing the groundwork and finding the answers.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

We just started watching “Suits”.

Just started on that myself.  Enjoying it so far.  A refreshing break from all the superfluous profanity that infects the airwaves.

I make an effort to watch it at least once a month. I don't know what the specific attraction is, but I never get tired of watching the scene where Tracy beats the crap out of Borgnine using then almost totally unknown in films martial art techniques.
 Of course, Tracy's double did the stunts, but it sure looked good. Audiences had never seen anything like it before and were stunned. As was Ernie Borgnine  when one of Tracy's blows sent him through the supposed to be unlocked screen door.  Director John Sturges had deliberately nailed the door shut.  Borgnine actually was hurt going through the door but played out the rest of the scene.

Be warned that the profanity increases in season 3 and 4. I haven’t figured out if it’s just one writer or the whole bunch, but the characters start cursing frequently. GD this and GD that. I’d rather they use the f-word.  *****rollingeyes*****

Saw this segment on Tucker Carlson tonight about an upcoming documentary (end of Feb) from Vince Everett Ellison called "Will You Go to Hell For Me?"  It looks like his actual website -- willyougotohellforme.com -- is crashed now from too much traffic, but the part of the trailer they showed in the Tucker Carlson clip, above, absolutely gave me goose bumps.

Season 11 of the Walking Dead. Unless you're a big fan, don't bother.

It's not bad, just disappointing. Nobody could have survived that long being that impulsive, undisciplined, and amateur hour.
