"There have been films that treated Nazi doctors conducting evil experiments in concentration camps more sympathetically," said Frank Scheck in The Hollywood Reporter.

Ah ha!  Thanks for clarifying that!

The success of ‘Unplanned’ is heartening - despite being denied (due to lobbying via PP) access to any advertising. It’s getting bashed by the usual suspects - but is exposing PP - which is a great thing.

PP is (not surprisingly) going to begin shooting their celluloid repose to ‘Unplanned’ - the PP flick is tentatively entitled ‘Unhinged’ 🤣

Last Blood

Yes, seriously.

Who's to say there won't be a Last Blood - Back in the Shyt, Last Blood - Blood Reign or Last Blood - To the Last Drop?

I really enjoyed his last Rambo movie “Rambo”. It rang all the right bells for me... Naive do-gooders trying to save the 3rd world without weapons end up relying on the only thing that has EVER defeated evil: rough men with weapons.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Just saw John Wick 3. Not as good as the first 2, IMO - but very enjoyable (if Wick's your thing - the stylized violence is almost as groundbreaking as The Matrix's 'bullet-time' cinematography) - more development of the Continental & Wick's past - I'll buy it when the DVD is released.

My favorite is part 2 - I love the scene(s) where he suits/weapons up in Italy.

Watching 'Alita: Battle Angel'

Didn't get great reviews - but I like it . . . & that's all that effing matters.

I'm sure these will flop...but as we get closer to election day this kind of fictitious dreck will increase exponentially...

PS-Cohn is still right, McCarthy is still right...and it's not just the Rosenberg's that should be tried, convicted and executed!  Far too many escaped, bred and continue to inflict their treason every second!!!

Watching for the 2nd time: Shadow (Chinese w/English subtitles, directed by Zhang Yimou) - set in 250 A.D. - a General employs an exact double of himself, to tip the odds with the enemy as well as his king.

There were about 4 different spies at Los Alamos, all unkown to each other. Different handlers. Theodore Hall got off scot free.

 Ivy Meeropol. Grand daughter of the Rosenbergs. The Meeropols adopted the Rosenberg kids after they were orphaned by old sparky. They went to school in Madison WI, maybe lived there. I feel sorry for the kids.  They finally realized their parents, especially their dad, was a commie spy. If they had confessed they would have been spared the death penalty.  The party wanted them dead as martyrs. The USSR awarded them secret medals that became public after the USSR collapsed.

I was cleaning out my  dad's books and came across a book written by the Meeropol kids back when they thought their parents were innocent. The mom had minor involvement but was involved.

Nobody should talk about McCarthy without reading Blacklisted by History. I did the audiobook version.
Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies Paperback – November 24, 2009
by M. Stanton Evans

I read a book last year about the people who tracked down the Rosenbergs. I had no idea it was so hard.

In the Enemy's House: The Secret Saga of the FBI Agent and the Code Breaker Who Caught the Russian Spies Hardcover – February 20, 2018 Howard Blum.

He also wrote the last good night. A very fun read about a US born spy who helped the allies in WWII. She was MN born and a very naughty girl. Great spy, cheating wife, romantic lover, rotten mother.

This is really good. Only 7 min long. 
This guy is fun to watch. Educational and entertaining.
How China controls what Hollywood makes. "Soft Power."
Certain actors cannot be shown in China. E.g. Richard Gere because he talks about Tibet.

We'll see, Pablo.  It seems to me that Chinese movies used to be a lot better than they are, today.  Nothing interests me much, anymore.  No problem finding Korean and Japanese movies and shows to watch but not China.  Maybe it's just me.

Bias really is not that hard to see for normal's...it sticks out like high-contrast black on white or vice-versa.

So many mush-headed low-info sapplings just take it as gospel...the most glaring to me was JFK...Oliver Stone's brain-vomit was seen by many urchins as pure truth...and of course AlGore's Earth in the Lurch fantasy...

Isn't there a recent Chinese SciFi movie that is good? I cannot remember the name.
 BTW most CCP control over movies shows up in what is NOT allowed. That is hard to spot.

I used to love movies. They suck so bad now. I went with my some to some Avengers movie, for his birthday.
It was so awful. I cannot find one to watch now even for free at a theater.

The last movie I saw in a theater other than that was Norman with Richard Gere. I loved it but I love him. Artsy people liked the movie.  Not for everyone. Some TV shows are much better than movies now. I loved The Americans, The Good Wife, Breaking Bad, many others.
