What are you lookin' at?

Dudes, it's not something I'm watching right now, but my wife is. My wife is watching "U-571" for the second time in two weeks. How badass is she?! I asked her what the allure of that is for her and she said, "It's like 'Titanic' without all the romantic stuff in it."

Well Jack, if she likes U-571....then she'll probably love "Das Boot" ...the long version is only like 4.5 hours long.

Lots and lots of sweaty, stinkin' German submariners.

If she can set thru that....then she definitely is... "one badass chick"!

Netflixing "Dead Bang" online. Don Johnson in his prime with Michael Jeter and William Forsythe. Still looks good today.

[Guest BEARMAN]

"Undead or alive"........crazy, cowboy zombie movie.

All it was lacking was...Billy Bob Thornton, lol

[Guest jackdm3]

I'm finishing "Thunder Road" with Robert Mitchum. It's got Tennessee all over it. About shining in the '50s. Awesome and classic stuff! Especially if you like cars and gunfire.

That is an awesome movie...and ol' Robert Mitchum was one heck of an actor.

But along these lines of moonshining...does anyone know why they never show the original movie Walking Tall, with Joe Don Baker?

I haven't seen that classic Tennessee based movie in years...Just wondering.

Another good Tennessee based movie is I Walk the Line, with Gregory Peck and Tuesday Weld. It was filmed right here in the Gainesboro, Jackson County area, in 1970.

Catch it, if you can.

Finishing "Boondock Saints II" now. Did anyone think they stole too much from the first? Good to see the boys, regardless.

YouTube - Crossroads (1986) duel

Hubby and I watched Ninja Assassin this past weekend.

Tonight we'll be watching Justified.

[Guest jackdm3]

I was gonna Redbox Ninja. Any good?

Not much of a plot really, but good action if you don't mind the exaggerated stuff. If you liked the Kill Bill movies, you'll like it fine. Worth a watch, but doubt I would add it to the movie collection.

[Guest jackdm3]

"Rear Window" with James Stewart. Totally timeless and CLASSY!!!

[Guest jackdm3]

"Leon: The Professional"

Easily one of Gary Oldman's top three performances.

[Guest jackdm3]

Watching "E.T." for the umpteenth time and wondering. I know his people had the knowledge to make it to Earth, but how did E.T. take apart the Speak'N'Spell and the other appliances with no Phillips drivers and his 6 nubby fingers?

The Force

(ya ya, it's a bit of a slow workday.)

I THOUGHT he was related to his cousin Pookie (Yoda).

[Guest jackdm3]

"Romancing the Stone"

It just occurred to me why this still works. It takes place in a third world country where we wouldn't know the difference from when it was filmed (25 odd years ago) or today. Weapons are the same. Bronco's and Jeeps are the same. The desire to search for treasure is the same. Danny DeVito's never gonna get any taller. And the damsel in distress at the very beginning? Oh. My. God!

Timeless. Consider taking the trip again.

[Guest jackdm3]

"Flight of the Phoenix" made in '65 with Ernest Borgnine, Richard Attenborough, George Kennedy and the most awesome James Stewart who'd like to ask you with his most awesome Jimmy Stewart voice:

"Now, now can you dig THAT?!?!"

I've got thunder road tivoed

Two lane black top "a little draggy" from the 70's had lot of people, cars, and locations from south knoxville and blount co. The el camino use to circle mc'd's and Ray Smith was the starter of the race at the ending

I THOUGHT he was related to his cousin Pookie (Yoda).

And I thought everybody was related to their cousins...

As for what I've been watching... been keeping myself amused over at Hulu with various things. At least when I'm not busy, or here torturing you lot.

The recent picks have been McHale's Navy, and a Canadian Sci-fi series from '03-'04 called Starhunter 2300.

Haven't had the attention span lately for anything longer than about 45 minutes or so at a time...

[Guest jackdm3]

Not when it's only by marriage. There was some interspecies coupling of the fuglies. Somebody stole a late model Galechik to get home in.

Just general debauchery all around because they live so long and life gets rather dull. But their godmother's proud.

rewatched 3:10 to Yuma and Appaloosa last weekend

[Guest jackdm3]

The awesome Henry Fonda and John Carradine in The Grapes of Wrath. Sickening how this could turn up again. Wasn't much of a consideration 3 or 4 years ago.

I am glad Fringe is back on
