Re: last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)
Got bored and a little bit hazey and watched King Kong 76' version again. One of the best remakes to ever come out of Hollywood. Also caught 1941, seriously underrated camp.
Finished Richard Jewell story. I remember when it happened but never realized how f'd up that was. Sam Rockwell again nails it.
Re: last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)
Superman Red Son which is an animation where Superman lands in the USSR instead of USA. The time period is during the Cold War and he is the servant of Stalin. Very different perspective but good with Lex Luthor an American hero.
Re: last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)
Finally caught A Quiet Place. Love the concept, genuine 'scare' factor in spots, the lead actors and the genre..but man that was frustrating as shat so many dumb decisions :-X. Couple years old and sequel supposed to drop but one of those you talk to the screen with 'wtf are you doing'!
The Hornets Nest, Father and Son journalist imbed with U.S forces in Afghanistan. No fluff no frills and respectful focus on the ones that didn't come home.

Spics who is playing the Richard Jewel story? That was directed by Eastwood wasn’t it. I remember seeing trailers for that and I really wanted to see it but I completely forgot until you just mentioned it. Damn that dude got fucked over. I read several articles and interviews about and with him, always felt for the guy. Too bad he isn’t around to see the movie.

Wonder Woman is a lesbian and is trying to keep the peace between all.
Batman is a USSR version who hates Superman for his love of Stalin and the oppressive regime.
Lex is with Lois Lane and a super genius good guy who goes on to the President after the assassination of JFK.

Sounds like a very neat premise.
Batman is sadly a knockoff character. The Shadow is who he's 100% based off of.
Superman suffers from the same problem the Greek hero Diomedes did. He's too powerful to make interesting. He's never truly in peril and that isn't relatable.
On occasion Superman can be ok, but most times his whole "My power is all the powers" gets stale.
Re: last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)
Not to piss all over the characters, just there's a way to tell a story around those concepts (for Superman). Batman is a fun character and has good villain opposition. Lex Luthor as a concept is a good idea for a bad guy but hardly a match for Superman.

That sounds cool. I like the concept but I can’t watch the animated stuff. I like alternative takes on history. THere was a book and movie that was written if Nazi Germany had one the war. The US stayed out of the war but it was a tense post war relationship. Hitler had been able to hide what he did with the Jews and dissidents. I think it was Kennedy who was in Germany to be the first US president to meet Hitler and at the last minute a dossier was obtained showing what Hitler had done. The book was called the father land the movie may have had been the same. Alternate take on history books and movies can be cool. I’d like to see or read one on the russians rushing the blockade of Cuba during that crisis.
Re: last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)
Isn't there some HBO show that re-imagines America if Charles Lindbergh won the Presidency and was a Nazi which is kinda odd. I mean I know Lindbergh was more of an America First guy, can't speak to his other political views. I may have to check out some sort of biography on that dude. I know he was a pilot obviously, I know his kid got kidnapped and I believe murdered, but there's not much else I know about him. I like thought experiments like that as you were saying walrus. There was some mockumentary about if the Confederacy won the Civil War which I haven't seen anything but the trailer for and judging by that the writer or director both needed some history lessons. I've heard about 'The Man in The High Castle', haven't seen it yet though.
Should be wrapping up Deadwood soon....only 3 seasons and a movie. It's a great damn show.

Yeh it was a real screw job and timely. I ran across it on Amazon prime for a few bucks. I seldom watch full 'new' movies in one setting though so their limit of '30'+ hrs to view them sucks.

There was another book by Philip Rothman about Lindbergh running for president and befriending Hitler. I have read several things about him being a staunch Hitler supporter. I would need to look further into it as I don’t know what is hand me down gossip and what is real but Lindbergh did support Hitler at the start, of course so did Ford and a number of US companies. Remember though at one point Churchill referred to Hitler as a great leader so it could have been during that time period

True he was given everything but at least he decided to go out and risk it all trying to help people. If I inherited all that I wouldn’t want to risk my well being so frequently. I’d be buying jets and cars and watches and banging models and sit ringside at anyfight, fuck yeah I’d be rollin

That is what Tony Stark, Iron Man, did until he became an alcoholic but changed his ways.
