My quest is to watch all the Best Movie nominees. We weren't in the mood for sub-titles and couldn't find a way to watch some others from home so it was ... Barbie.
It wasn't as great as the hype would have you believe. It wasn't as terrible as many people have told me it is. I kind of liked it.
Definitely ludicrous that anything associated with the movie has been nominated, IMO.
I'm sorry to report that "Bob Marley: One Love" was only okay. It was great to hear a lot of his music and get some flavor for how the songs came about but the overall story and production wasn't all that IMO.

Thanks, you saved me time watching it. First time I heard a Bob Marley song was Clapton's hit cover of I Shot the Sheriff in 1974 (released by Marley in 1973).
I had a buddy who was always ahead of the curve on everything that was in to Marley in 1975. Marley took off in America in 1976.

I am going to characterize this as interplanetary physics for dummies. It is really really good. This morning's episode addressed the question: where is the end of the universe? We explore interesting things like Galaxy GN-Z11 is 32 billion light years away, but the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years. How this can be explained? (partial answer: some things do travel faster than the speed of light, which is supposed to be a fundamental law of physics).
It is on the Smithsonian or Science channel, I believe.
I normally abhor sequels, but The Bear Necessities 3, which is now playing at Cyberbears.com, is STELLAR. It has all the action of the first two films, but with superior character development. Squirt Reynolds is terrific reprising his role as Dr. Pound, and it's great to see more diversity in the cast with Hung Lo in the role of the inquisitive patient. I hate to sound like a walking advertisement, but I can't recommend this film enough.

Interesting that you're a fan of this film genre. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
This is a deeply personal story about Joan Baez. There is sadness in her story. She was my first music concert my parents didn't drive me to. October, 1971, Greek Theater. Her hit record at the time was her cover of The Band's, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

If you liked Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and Rock n Rolla, this Guy Ritchie series is for you (much better than the movie of the same name):
Apparently people that have played the video games and are super precious about the lore have some issues with the series. I've never played any of the games.
Coming in fresh not knowing what to expect, it starts a bit slow and a couple of the main characters take a while before their personality develops enough to where you are interested in their storylines. Walton Goggins, as always, steals the show as he does in practically everything he's ever in and he was the bait that kept me going long enough to realize by about episode 3 that the show was worth sticking with.
If you are one of the few independent thinking people in this forum (which I propose should be renamed Vault 33 going forward), I think you'll find that it has a pretty darn good social commentary on our current world. If, however, you are a vault dweller/Biden voter, it might demand more from you than you are capable of giving. But you never know. Maybe this show will be the thing that finally puts you on the path where you stop being so easily propagandized and you start to value individuality and freedom more than you value being happy in your cult.

It's a shame you don't have a reason to be this condescending towards others.

You mean to tell me the guy in the poster steals the show? Wow, it's this kind of insight that makes Bear Insider so valuable.

Every place on the Internet has Biden voters except maybe Truth Social.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was just okay. Could have been better but Guy Ritchie went a little Campy with this, and that detracts from the final product.

Did you see this series:
I thought it was Big Fun.

Maybe this was already mentioned in this thread. Leave the World Behind is a Netflix movie produced by Barrack and Michelle Obama:
OUTAGES
- Biggest IT outage ever according to experts
- Major banks, media, airports and airlines affected by major IT outage
- Rail services disrupted in parts of US and UK
- Payment systems impacted in different parts of the world, including Australia and the UK.
-…

The capabilities of a single company like Crowdstrike to control and shutdown world IT networks is eerily similar to things portrayed in the Obama movie, Leave the World Behind.
I listened to Scorcese's recommendations and found "Journey Into Light" on YouTube. Watched it last night. I liked it.
It takes a long time to get to the point in this modern world of film which wraps 3x the amount of story and action into each scene, but that only makes it better.
A man has his visions, gets crushed by life, ends up broken on skid row, rebuilds himself, and improves his service to his community along the way.
Fair perspective on Christian religion as well!!
And the film reminded me of Fountainhead, as the main character is driven by his ideals, his philosophy. The two philosophies are totally different, but each film presents the prototype man (tall, handsome, intelligent, morally upright) struggling through life trying to find his own ideal expression of his philosophy.
I liked seeing the dumb uncle from Its a Wonderful Life play an important role in this film. He, too, grows in his humanity.
The two men become shepherds of men together.
Thx Okaydo
I setup the other films on auto record on YouTubeTV in case they ever get played again.
