Still watching "The Virginian." It's the eight season, and it's obvious the scriptwriters are running out of ideas. Trampas is threatened with being lynched for the second time. He was about to be lynched in an episode during one of the early seasons, but wasn't.  Yeah, stunning I know.
I'm waiting around for the quicksand episode where everybody at Shiloh ranch is threatened by quicksand which is everywhere out West according to how many Western episodes feature the hero(es) threatened with being sucked down by the stuff.  :tongue2:

Just watched THE JUDGE, with Robert Downey, Jr., and Robert Duvall

Amazingly stunning performances...both of them!

We also watched that and thought it was very good.
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

Saw it too, and suprised it didn't gather any award buzz back 10 years ago.  Then I realized of the 3 great stars,   Duval, RDJ, and BB Thorton....   none are flaming liberals.

Plus the overriding theme of the movie wasn't left pandering either.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that "Monk" is now on Netflix.

Really liked that show when it was first run.

To get away from the sickening political environment I tuned in to watch THE ACCOUNTANT for the 3rd time.

Enjoyed it even more than the first two times

Have to put it on my TOP 10 list for sure!!

If you enjoy a good comedy -- "A Million Ways to Die in the West"-- hubby had it on the other night and I watched bits and pieces -- pretty hilarious!  Cast; Liam Neeson, Charlize Theron, Neil Harris, Jamie Foxx.....
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

There seems to be about 100 ghost or 'paranormal' shows on TV today. To me, they are all the same. First, everyone is always in darkness even during a simple interview. Then they go out, again in the dark (everything is always in the dark) then weird stuff starts happening. Or ... they start with all the jump-scare stuff.

Just with the sheer number of these kinds of shows, it seems unlikely to me anyway that enough ghosts exist to fulfill the demand. If someone were addicted to these shows and believe they are real, then they must believe that there are thousands of ghosts/aliens/bigfoots everywhere. Most of the stuff I have seen can be easily explained away or it is staged.

This is a TV show, get it? With no 'activity' as they call it, there is no TV show. But, as long as there are people who enjoy that stuff then more power to them.
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.

You know the phrase....there's a sucker born every minute. Just like the Bigfoot shows where they never seem to find Bigfoot. But just you wait....next episode they're sure to find him.

Watched a rather creepy horror/psychological thriller last night, "Nefarious (2023)", starring Sean Patrick Flanery and Jordan Belfi. A psychiatrist (Belfi) is called to death row to interview a killer (Flanery) slated for execution, to determine if he is mentally competent or not. The killer claims to be possessed by a demon, which forced him to commit his crimes. Flanery puts in a great performance as the possibly possessed, possibly just manipulative killer.

It's available for free on Amazon Prime, if you have a subscription to Prime.

My brother highly recommended YOUR HONOR...a 2 season drama starring Bryan Cranston

IMO...moves too slow.  I've been addicted to action...not this simmering bullsh*t!   :laugh:

We saw “Nefarious” in the movie theater when it was first released. I think it’s a very good movie. Flanery SHOULD HAVE been nominated for an Oscar.
It’s based on the book “A Nefarious Plot” by Steve Deace. I’m a big Deace fan.

I heard it was good, but by the time I did it had already passed out of theaters, so I'm glad I got to see it on streaming.  Interesting that it was based on a book of that name, given the end of the movie (no spoilers).  :laugh:

The wife and I are now watching a Brit series called "The Fall" about a serial killer in Belfast being investigated by Gillian Anderson who plays a policewoman in charge of finding him. The killer is revealed early on in the series.
This is a profoundly IRRITATING!!!! series that, unfortunately, my wife likes.
Too talky and full of moments that don't lend anything to the search for the murderer. Plus, Anderson's character is extra horny and jumps in the sack with a number of fellow police officers. But, of course, she has to have something for a woman too.
Maybe the most irritating thing (and virtually irrelevant to the story) was a scene where the cops were taking a break eating lunch, Chinese food. What was irritating about the scene? The Irish cops were all using chop sticks to eat the food.
Every damn time there's a scene in a movie of characters, westerners not Asians, eating Chinese food, they use chop sticks instead of knives and forks like regular people would do.
I've eaten in a number of Chinese restaurants over my years, and I've yet to see anybody eat with chopsticks.
Stop it!!!

I watched a few episodes before giving up on it.  I suspect your spouse will do the same.

Watching Cutthroat Kitchen on HULU. I love it personally, but it is a very specific kind of show.
Doubt everyone will enjoy it like I do.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
