Heard it was great. Stopped watching after the first or second episode. Let me know if we should have given it a few more episodes.

I like it but it is not something I'd recommend to my wife. There is a chick flick my wife watches most years. She has never suggested that I should watch it. Both are excellent movies but neither is good for both of us. We all have our personal preferences.

 

[Caribou]

"Spacehunter Redux". They are still using Glocks in the 23rd century. Must be a great gun.

Clarkson Farm, Beverly Hillbillies and Wartime Farms

 

[Amish Heart]

Jeff Dunham. We've seen a number of his shows. Achmed the dead terrorist cracks me up.

 

[Sourdough]

As for something different we went with a Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin movie " Against the army" last night. We watch with subtitles on so we can understand the lyrics. Both of us were stymied when we read the word...

I have become addicted to YouTube and I have close to 200 content providers that I follow on YouTube from homesteading, motor sports, and religious topics. When my wife finds a good movie on Netflix or Amazon I will watch those with her. But most of those we turn off after a few minutes because they turn out to be filled with things that we don't want to see. We do not have cable or a antenna for local stations.

ZOMBIELAND!!!!

If nothing else, Solidly underscored the Criticality of the DOUBLE-TAP... Though, to Really be sure, it should be 1 in each of the O2 sponges, and 1 in the scrambled eggs upstairs. Yep - 'Tri-Tap' for the win..

..and PS, yah - 1883 - WOW, Incredible show.

"Cold Skin" A Sci-Fi action movie. It is not something I would normally give a chance but I did and I was pleasantly surprised.

"Storming Juno" Movie about the Canadian forces on D-Day.

Any of you remember the Ken Burns series "The Civil War"? I thought it was great, bought it on vhs tape at the time.

It was re-released on dvd for it's 25th anniversary, which I bought.

Been watching it the last few nights.

I started watching "Escape from New York" again. I just realized that is the answer to save our country. Build a 50' high wall around DC, once in never out, cut off all communications and power, mine all the exit points. The movie draws an excellent blueprint.

I used to watch many YouTube video makers. Periodically I go through and purge my list due to the repetition of their content. I like watching homesteaders build and develop their homesteads. I don't watch all content by the people I follow, just topics that I am more interested in. I also speed up videos, and skip through.

I've known people who talked about how excellent it was. I imagine that people who live in the areas, like you, where certain events and battles took place could get into it more. You may have had family members who fought in the Civil War. Not me. For someone like me who lives in Colorado, I have never been to a Civil War battlefield, nor driven by anything Civil War related. In all of my genealogy research, I have never found anyone I was related to be in the war.

 

[Spikedriver]

I watched the John Schneider film, "To Die For". Umm...I'm sympathetic to the message, but the film itself was a gigantic train wreck, to the point that it was almost unwatchable.

 

[Weedygarden]

Anne with an E, about Anne of Green Gables. I have a boxed set of another series made about this story and haven't watched those in a while.

You're right, I forget that sometimes. Almost every family in the south was touched by death, mine included. What happened in the years after the war was in some ways worse for the average family. And the wealthy slave owners just gained more power... like anderson coopers family.

I like studying history though, and military history. Heck, I even have a copy of Caesar's commentaries on the Galic and Civil wars. Locally the history of our civil war is every where. For instance southern cavalry crossed my farm and rode down my driveway. Right at the end of the war. A small southern cavalry was ghosting a large union force on the other side of a river. When that large force got to Tuskaloosa they burned it. The university was also burned which was fair, it’d been turned into a military academy.

I’m sure no noticed this on the news in 2015…

Couple nights ago I saw the first episode of a new tv show. "True Lies", yep, a spin off of the 90's movie with jl curtis and arnold.

It wasn't horrible, wasn't great either. Lots of action scenes though so it wasn't boring. If the writing gets better I might continue to watch.

 

[Weedygarden]

Jesus Revolution. It is the first movie I've seen in a movie theatre in almost a decade.

 

[Peanut]

Just watched this weeks episode of True Lies. Funnier this week, decent action. Jury is still out but worth watching again.

I’ve been watching Breaking Bad on dvd this week. Last night I watched the first meetings with the character “Tuco”, the insane drug dealer.
