@BrambleJim @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @ihateclaims @Windix3 @stonemonkts @AMclenon @JohnCharet My friend told me about a new investment opportunity. People would own Pet Rocks. I can get in on the ground floor. Sounds exciting!

@Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @ihateclaims @Windix3 @stonemonkts @AMclenon @JohnCharet @performativeUtt I’m glad we are continually reminded because we seem to have terrible memories of the consequences of our actions. History repeats far too often.

Is the Holocaust pure catnip for film awards? The 2002 Cannes Film Festival gave the Grand Prix to The Pianist, finding its Nazi-era horrors more captivating than entries such as David Cronenberg’s Spider & Woody Allen’s Hollywood Ending. Is the message simply, “Never forget.”

@BrambleJim @roger_bakes @CarloDallapicc1 @hermannkarlovic @masterofoneinc1 @fredforthemets @Freelineorlando @mecalnan @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @ihateclaims @GDMLosB Agreed. With all of it. No need for host to be a WW2 expert.

@performativeUtt @roger_bakes @CarloDallapicc1 @hermannkarlovic @masterofoneinc1 @fredforthemets @Freelineorlando @mecalnan @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @ihateclaims @GDMLosB Hanks has a major interest in WWII history so was an obvious choice to get a narrator who wouldn’t have to fake interest. I’m excited for it.

@hermannkarlovic @Rob_Motto @fredforthemets @Freelineorlando @roger_bakes @mecalnan @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @performativeUtt @BrambleJim @ihateclaims @GDMLosB This gets complicated, but most likely at the time there was only a small faction willing to surrender. First you have to consider how violently they were holding on to places like Okinawa so a full scale invasion could have been quite difficult. But this does get complicated

@Super70sSports Agreed. Not a good stat.

Combined no-hitters are just 0-hit shutouts to me. I can’t get up for it.

@roger_bakes @CarloDallapicc1 @hermannkarlovic @masterofoneinc1 @fredforthemets @Freelineorlando @mecalnan @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @BrambleJim @ihateclaims @GDMLosB Oh Roger. Maybe the doc is well-done, and they got Hanks to help draw attention to it? Might they have enlisted the WW2 equivalent of Shelby Foote to educate us?

@CarloDallapicc1 @hermannkarlovic @masterofoneinc1 @fredforthemets @Freelineorlando @mecalnan @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @performativeUtt @BrambleJim @ihateclaims @GDMLosB I notice that on Canada's History Channel there is a new documentary series on WW2. It's hosted by well-known military historian Tom Hanks so you know it will be definitive.

@GDMLosB @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @masterofoneinc1 @fredforthemets @Freelineorlando @mecalnan @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @BrambleJim @ihateclaims Would it be correct to say that the USA had the understanding that the Japanese would never have surrendered after protracted conventional warfare? What would better understanding have given USA in the formulation of military strategy?

@hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @masterofoneinc1 @fredforthemets @Freelineorlando @mecalnan @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @performativeUtt @BrambleJim @ihateclaims I will never believe that those who made the decision had any real understanding of the Japanese or their character. I also will never believe that it would've been used against Germany.

@trevorbaxendale @SpyHards Ok, so given those elements you’re saying that, after a number of viewings, it will make sense? Or, with the elements you mention, maybe it still cannot be understood?

@performativeUtt @SpyHards Well it’s story with plot, characters and narrative - so it’s not really like a painting.

TENET is a film that still confuses and intrigues me… I love what Christopher Nolan was aiming for, but I’m not sure the movie ever sticks the landing. 6 years later… what are your thoughts on TENET?

@televisiondavid @SpyHards Following was good, insomnia fine, but Norwegian version better.

@SpyHards It's shit. All his films are shit. No one will say it. I say it.

@KelleyToons @SpyHards I need to see it. I have not seen much Nolan. I liked Following, Memento, and Insomnia ( original better), but shut down Inception after 20 minutes. Serious question: how pretentious is Inception? So I’d give Tenet a try, I suppose.

@SpyHards I will die on the hill that this is a good film. However, to be fair, I have seen it at least half a dozen times and still am a bit confused and not *quite* sure it all holds together. (And in my case I also think it’s his last good movie)

@SpyHards @trevorbaxendale Well maybe it is not understandable, nor meant to be understandable? A performance art piece. Or a mood piece. How many times do you need to see a Jackson Pollock before you understand it?

@trevorbaxendale I think, after five or so viewings, that I get everything that’s going on but maybe the point is to not fully understand it?

@RussellAdkison @SpyHards Extremely weak. What a joke. Approaching Austin Powers as a serious spy movie.

@SpyHards All four of these are pretty good. Overrated? I think octopussy was pretty weak.

@BrambleJim @GDMLosB @roger_bakes @mecalnan @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @fredforthemets @ihateclaims @Rob_Motto Great museum at Changi Prison museum just a short metro ride out of Singapore. A kind of disposable camera was, they say, hidden up a prisoners rectum at times, and this camera facilitated great shots of the march/work. It’s been so long I’ve forgotten details.

@GDMLosB @roger_bakes @mecalnan @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @fredforthemets @performativeUtt @ihateclaims @Rob_Motto Same. My grandfather was a prisoner of war in the Philippines and on the Bataan death march. He testified in the war crimes tribunals against General Tojo after the war. Because he said so little, many details we learned after he died going through journals & newspaper articles

Viewing currently @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @fredforthemets @performativeUtt @BrambleJim @Roger_Bakes @ihateclaims @GDMLosB @Rob_Motto

@iDodgrMike @LADodgersMuse Exactly. Who are we giving up? I think no.

@LADodgersMuse Only if the price is right and he’s willing to sign an extension. Question is… who are you giving up for him?

Do you think the Dodgers trade for Tarik Skubal IF available?

@mecalnan @ihateclaims @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @fredforthemets @BrambleJim @roger_bakes @GDMLosB @Rob_Motto I liked Fred Ward. Henry and June.

@performativeUtt @ihateclaims @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @fredforthemets @BrambleJim @roger_bakes @GDMLosB @Rob_Motto Just watched some Anais Nin inspired flicks…

@GDMLosB @mecalnan @ihateclaims @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @fredforthemets @BrambleJim @roger_bakes @Rob_Motto Yes. I think- I’m not one. Yellow splash across one. The other, orange?

@performativeUtt @mecalnan @ihateclaims @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @fredforthemets @BrambleJim @roger_bakes @Rob_Motto Grove Press?

@LADodgersMuse @OKC_comets @katiejwoo Yes!!! Kike has the attitude.

Kiké Hernández will play his final rehab game with @OKC_comets tonight He is set to join the Dodgers on Monday per @katiejwoo

@mecalnan @ihateclaims @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @fredforthemets @BrambleJim @roger_bakes @GDMLosB @Rob_Motto I’ve moved around a lot. That has gone away. I still have my paperbacks of Miller’s Tropics.

@performativeUtt @ihateclaims @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @milanpaurich @JaneNightshade @fredforthemets @BrambleJim @roger_bakes @GDMLosB @Rob_Motto I still have old reel to reel, 8tracks, casettes, LPs, CD’s and IPods 🤣🤣🤣

@roger_bakes @Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @Windix3 @OldCarLongRoad @ihateclaims @stonemonkts @AMclenon @JaneNightshade Good man!

@Freelineorlando @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @Windix3 @OldCarLongRoad @ihateclaims @performativeUtt @stonemonkts @AMclenon @JaneNightshade Such a depressing, patronizing song. You have to seize the day.

@Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @ihateclaims @Windix3 @stonemonkts @AMclenon @JaneNightshade In junior high my mom would drop me at the Inland Center Mall. Inland Empire. I’d meet my friends. Orange Julius. Pickwick Books. Sears. May Co. Steal This Book!

What’s scarier: an army of zombies, or a dead shopping mall? George Romero creatively satirized our love for malls in Dawn Of The Dead (out today, 1979), but now our malls are dying and his metaphor will be lost on Gen Z. Flesh eating zombies are scary, but empty malls can be too
