A few nights ago on the classic channel i saw 'Gone with the Wind'. Hadn't watched it decades. Interesting, i'd forgotten the plot line except for the war. Funny, i found the movie sort of insulting. It wasn't representative of the south before or after the war. It was representative of the top 3%, rich planters who owned slaves, but no one knows what their world was really like.

I watched the four 'Resident Evil' movies this week too. Got them in the discount bin, should have left them there. But to be fair, some of the cgi stuff was interesting.
 
I've got little granddaughter watching, "Northern Exposure", and have to laugh because she finds it so odd. She does like Chris the best. No surprise there. I watched the series years ago, so enjoy watching it again. Found I really disliked the character that Maggie liked that lived in a bubble this time around. He disturbed me. Ha. A whiner.
Don't think I have ever seen it.?
 
Between Lands, a Spanish series. I know a little Spanish, but I do not like having to read subtitles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Between_Lands
Set in 1960s Spain, the plot tracks the vicissitudes of María Rodríguez, from the village of Almadrava de Monteleva, in the province of Almería. María does not wait for the return of her boyfriend, an economic emigrant to Germany, an engages by proxy to an elder landowner from La Mancha, Don Ramón Cervantes, via the latter's nephew Manuel, so María's younger sister Luisa can have a brighter future.
 
Jojo Rabbit.

This movie was:
  • totally insane (kid trying to fit in has an imaginary friend...Hitler)
  • mildly funny to start (a comedy about the Third Reich?...some outrageous behavior is humorous)
  • sad (yes, I cried...I guess I'm getting more emotional as I get older...but, it did take place in Nazi Germany, after all)
  • very well written and directed
  • well acted (I don't follow actors very much, but I recognized Scarlet Johansson [Avenger's Black Widow] & Rebel Wilson [from Pitch Perfect]; some actors I did not recognize did a spectacular job)
  • just plain emotional and powerful
I recorded it on a whim a while ago, and watched it tonight, and got sucked in. I would love to recommend it to everyone unconditionally...and yet, it is such a strange movie, I'm sure some people will hate it, so I guess 'watcher beware.' I didn't hate it. It was, in a word, a powerful movie. (The trailer tends to focus on the lighter parts.)

Aww. The baby goat is adorable! I miss having goats. They are so cute and can be so cuddly.
This is very short but makes me laugh. I keep watching it over and over.

“Farewell My Lovely”, 1975 Robert Mitchum is Phillip Marlow. Stalone has a bit part, less than a minute on screen, I don’t think he even has a line.
 
I'm watching the 2024 spring Special Olympics opening ceremony in Waterloo, Ontario. My daughter is an athlete there, this is the first time she qualified for the province. She worked hard to get there.
 
I have a dish and dont even watch. My wife gets home after 14 hr day and watches Judge Judy.. Made her listen to a Judge J piece on the internet last night. Judge Judy Leans to the right
In my next place, If i can pick up a local news channel or 2. Cable, Sattelite TV is done My Internet and a subscription to Paramount (type) is all I need. $100 a month gone. Starlink has proven a reliable provider.
Hooked up a new trailer stereo to today. I was amazed at the reception where web sites say I can’t get any.
