watching Hunter Killer (2018) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1846589/ They now have women on U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarines?

Thinking about seeing The Mule. But what's with the negative reviews? https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_mule_2018/reviews/ One of the woman reviewers even said it's the worst film of the year. QUOTE: "THE MULE is one of the worst films of the year. It's nothing more than a vehicle for Eastwood to have a good time singing and cavorting with much younger women." WHAT? This is Clint Eastwood we are talking about !! The Academy Awards winning director and actor who has Won 4 Oscars plus another 144 wins & 158 nominations. One of the last of Hollywood's REAL actors and directors. Is she stupid or what?

I tried to watch First Man. Turned it off after 27 minutes. Who the heck decided to cast Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong? What an insult to the real Mr. Armstrong and to everyone who was involved in the Gemini and Apollo program in a race to beat the Commies to the moon. Then add that we all read about how the director, a Frenchman who forgotten that the USA saved his country twice from becoming a permanently German speaking slave colony, decide to omit the USA flag planting on the moon scene, there is no reason for me to watch the rest of this disrespectful 2 hours and 12 minutes stinker!!

Damn! I wasn't expecting that. The Los Angeles Chargers (10-3), down 28-14 in the 4th quarter, to score 2 TD in 4 minutes and then convert a 2 points conversion with 4 seconds left in the game to take the lead at 29-28 and beat the Kansas City Chiefs (11-2). Now the AFC West is tied at 11-3 with the Chiefs and the Chargers and with this win, the Chargers have secured a playoff berth.

Damn! Have y'all see this? Whose job was it to attach the passenger to the glider?

Week #15: 3 weeks left including this week. Tonight on Thursday night football, big AFC battle between the Los Angeles Chargers (10-3) and the Kansas City Chiefs (11-2). Games to watch on Sunday and many of them may have wild card playoffs spots implications: Cleveland Browns (5-7-1) at Denver Broncos (6-7); Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-8) at Baltimore Ravens (7-6); Dallas Cowboys (8-5) at Indianapolis Colts (7-6): Go Cowboys!! Miami Dolphins (7-6) at Minnesota Vikings (6-6-1); New England Patriots (9-4) at Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5-1): Go Steelers!! Tennesse Titans (7-6) at New York Giants (5-8): Go Giants!! Monday night you have a game that the Carolina Panthers (6-7) must win against the New Orleans Saints (11-2) if they want to even have a chance at getting a Wild Card playoffs spot. By the way, Sunday game with the Houston Texans (9-4) at New York Jets (4-9): I swear! Houston better not undestimate the Jets or take them for granted and lose this one!!

Good thing you have a dog and not a cat. Cats are killers on Christmas trees.

She is an educator whose job is to educate your children and shape them and mold them to prepare them for their upcoming adult lives?!? Good luck with that!! https://www.foxnews.com/us/nebraska-principal-reportedly-bans-candy-canes-says-j-shape-stands-for-jesus https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2018/december/nebraskas-grinch-principal-in-trouble-for-totally-banning-christmas-even-candy-canes She has been placed on Administrative leave. Here's her photo: She banned all these and not just candy canes: QUOTE: "Principal Jennifer Sinclair of Manchester Elementary School issued a broad Christmas ban saying, "We are not to be doing any Christmas or holiday-specific themed activities with students. Santa and Christmas items are not to be on activities or copies." Santas or Christmas items (clipart) on worksheets Christmas trees in classrooms Elf on the Shelf - that's Christmas-related Singing Christmas Carols Playing Christmas music Sending a Scholastic book that is a Christmas book - that's Christmas-related Making a Christmas ornament as a gift - This assumes that the family has a Christmas tree which assumes they celebrate Christmas. I challenge the thought of, 'Well they can just hang it somewhere else.' Candy Cane - that's Christmas-related. Historically, the shape is a 'J' for Jesus. The red is for the blood of Christ, and the white is a symbol of his resurrection. This would also include different colored candy canes. Red/Green items - traditional Christmas colors Reindeer Christmas videos/movies and/or characters from Christmas movies" /QUOTE Talk about she being the ultimate Grinch ... What she did violates the First Amendment by the way. In the 2nd article: [QUOTE: Her memo sparked outrage among parents and teachers. Several of them reached out to Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit legal group that focuses on religious freedom, which sent a letter to the school district pointing out that the Christmas ban violates the US Constitution. The school district immediately took action, reversing the anti-Christmas policy, stating that Sinclair did not consult with administrators before enacting the religious themed policy./QUOTE

Here's my Christmas Tree Ain't it just a Beaut?

Watching last night episode of NCIS Los Angeles. That's Dina Meyer. Remember her? She was Dizzy in Starship Troopers. The trooper that got killed by a bug on the remote lost outpost. I don't think I've seen her in anything since she was in several Saw films in the 2000's and I also don't remember her being that thick in Starship Troopers. She's 49 years old now - her 50th birthday in 12 days!

Good try.

December 10th, 1978: That was the day almost 40 years ago that Superman was released to the theaters. Filmed concurrently with Superman II, from a script that originally ran 550+ pages for both films and was rewrote several times to cut it down to 300 rough pages, with a budget of over $55 million, it was at the time the most expensive movie ever made. Stuck in production hell since 1973, some of the actors that were originally considered for the role of Superman and a few of them were even offered the role of Superman were: "Muhammad Ali :confused:, Al Pacino, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood and Dustin Hoffman. Robert Redford was offered a large sum, but felt he was too famous. Burt Reynolds also turned down the role, while Sylvester Stallone was interested, but nothing ever came of it. Paul Newman was offered his choice of roles as Superman, Lex Luthor or Jor-El for $4 million, turning down all three roles. Olympic champion Bruce Jenner had auditioned for the title role. Patrick Wayne was cast, but dropped out when his father John Wayne was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Both Neil Diamond and Arnold Schwarzenegger lobbied hard for the role, but were ignored. James Brolin, Lyle Waggoner, Christopher Walken, Nick Nolte, Jon Voight, and Perry King were approached. Kris Kristofferson and Charles Bronson were also considered for the title role. James Caan said he was offered the part but turned it down. "I just couldn't wear that suit." "We found guys with fabulous physique who couldn't act or wonderful actors who did not look remotely like Superman," creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz remembered. The search became so desperate that producer Ilya Salkind's wife's dentist was screen tested. Finally, (now famous) casting director Stalmaster convinced the director and producers to have an unknown actor named Christopher Reeve screen test in February 1977 and the rest was history. Directors that were offered the helm of this movie or were considered to direct included George Lucas (who was busy working on Star Wars), Steven Spielberg (who already committed to Close Encounters of the Third Kind), Guy Hamilton (director of four James Bond films: Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, the Man with the Golden Gun), Francis Ford Coppola, William Friedkin, Richard Lester, Peter Yates, John Guillermin, Ronald Neame and Sam Peckinpah. Finally Richard Donner, who at the time just made the very successful The Omen, was hired as the director for both Superman and Superman II. He filmed both films concurrently and when Superman II was almost 75% complete and Superman was only partly complete and had gone way over budget, it was decided to stop filming Superman II and concentrate on Superman - with everyone saying that the film will bomb so why even bother to finish filming Superman II." source ^^^: WIKI[ There are 3 versions of this film that's now available on DVD. Version 1: 1978 Theatrical Release Version 2: 2000 Restoration (8 minutes longer than Theatrical Release) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_(1978_film)#Other_editions Version 3: Extended 1982 Television Broadcast 188 Minutes Cut aka the Director's Cut and aka the Original Version that was filmed before it was cut down for the Theatrical Release https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_(1978_film)#The_extended_TV_version

I only saw 4 movies (2 of them being The Predator and Tomb Raider) in the theaters this year and the other were kids movies (The Incredibles 2 and Smallfoot) and we took our children to it. Every 2018 theatrical release I've seen this year I waited for the home video or online web download. Here another Marvel movie that's also due out next year. Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6320628/

Am I the only one who doesn't run to the theaters whenever one of these Marvel Comics Universe movies comes out and you are like me: I'd rather wait for the home video ?!?
