What! Something in this world is mostly just bullshit? You cannot be serious.

I just watched Tremors: Shrieker Island on YouTube, and it was as good as I hoped it would be. The only actor I recognized was Burt Gummer, from the first installment, but the others did a very creditable job as well.
This one was about big-game hunters who were hunting genetically modified graboids on a private island.
Mayhem ensues.

Bubba Ho-Tep, with Bruce Campbell, was silly and stupid  - and I loved it!
Elvis Presley is an old man in a nursing home. He traded places many years ago with an Elvis impersonator because he'd gotten tired and fed up with all the hype and crap he'd had to put up with.
But a mummy is on the loose, sucking the souls of the old folks in the nursing home. He and his buddy, JFK, have to get rid of it.
Hilarity ensues! 🤣

Just saw another movie that referenced Elvis, called Six String Samurai.
A very weird movie!
"In 1957, World War III ended and the United States lost. Decades later, Buddy (Jeffrey Falcon), thinking that he's a dangerous Buddy Holly, traverses the radioactive landscape with a guitar and a sword. Dodging mutants, cannibals, and the occupying Soviet army, he heads for "Lost Vegas," picking up an orphan sidekick (Justin McGuire) along the way. In the ruined city, Buddy competes with other rockers for the title of "The King," now available in the wake of Elvis Presley's recent death."
It was extremely entertaining and funny!
I might watch it again, after I watch some more weird cult movies.

Gojira Minus One Ly.

Right off the bat: Interestingly the kamikaze lands on Odo Island. Specifically on the runway at Odo Island. Exactly on the runway that was apparently cratered by the US so it couldn't be used as a kamikaze base. Definitely cratered by the neatest bombs ever used. Obviously the bomb blew holes in the runway. Interestingly the "not today" kamikaze lands on the runway anyway. Decidedly the neatest bombs every used, there's no rubble around the bomb craters. Completely unrealistic.

Would I ly?
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Just finished an even better movie, Hidden Figures, about the women called "calculators" back when they didn't have machines to do that sort of thing. Couldn't have gotten to space without them! Especially Katherine Johnson! 🫡

Yeah, enjoyed that one too.

"Hidden Figures" is a hidden gem.

Just watched Red Notice, with Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Godot.
A very good heist movie, with lots of action, twists and turns, and great acting.
Very entertaining, kept me on the edge of my seat, and didn't stop twisting and turning until the very end.

I'll put it on my list. Frankly, Godot is kind of a stone-faced actor IMHO and I have yet to understand why the big deal about her...well except for her looks.

I'd never heard of her, but she did OK in this. She's one of the "bad" guys, so any stone-facedness seemed appropriate.

She is super wonder woman. However, she was recently the evil queen Sleeping Beauty. Movie failed badly. Also being an Israeli, she was having friction with her pro-Palestinian sleeping beauty costar.

I just finished watching a movie called Red Lights, made in 2012, with Segourney Weaver, Robert DeNiro, and Cillian Murphy. It's about a couple of scientists (Weaver and Murphy) trying to debunk a "psychic" (DeNiro).
I'd never heard of Cillian Murphy, but he was just as good as the two main stars.
The film was excellent all the way through, and I highly recommend it!
