What are you watching now?...2025

[BobfromWB]

Was flipping through channels and came across the movie Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks.  It was the last 30 minutes or so, and I left it on to watch the end.

After the movie ended, it indicated the surviving pirate was taken to the USA, tried and convicted of piracy, receiving a 33 year sentence.

I always thought piracy had a death sentence.  This is a fine example of how weak we as a nation have become.  WEAK!!!!
Simply stated, this pirate should have received a military trial at sea, been found guilty and shot, hung, take your pick.

Russians when they encounter pirates lash them to the deck of their boat, and then blow them up.  I have seen such a video.  They do not waste time, sending these vicious people to hell.  Frankly, anyone from Somalia should be considered a pirate and dealt with accordingly.

Me, I'm partial to the Russian video where they use the pirate ship with the pirates still aboard as target practice for their chain-gun, while crew members fire AKs at the ship.

Pirates are legally called Hostis humani generis

Deb,

You like Matthew Goode.  He is in a new show on Netflix about vampires and creatures that is interesting.  The girl that plays his love interest is a witch, and she is a striking beauty for me with great eyes.

Thanks - I’ll check it out.

Watching the 20 seasons of Salvage Hunters [ UK ]

Drew Pritchard is a modern-day Welsh treasure hunter. Finds odd old items for his Antique store.
Relaxing, no drama to speak of, very old items found on various British estates and sometimes from other countries, items restored or sold as is.

This past weekend, watched "When Time Ran Out", 1980 disaster film about a volcanic eruption on a small, privately-owned resort island.

It has an all-star cast with Paul Newman, William Holden, Burgess Meridith, Ernest Borgnine, Jaqueline Basset, James Fransiscus. But even they couldn't save it from being "only fair-to-middlin'" in my observation.

It's easily found on "the bay", if you're adventurous.
