We watched Apollo 13 last night.
Amazing film on how the spacecraft and crew were brought safely back to Earth
I remember one of the experts saying "We have a computer as big as a room doing millions of calculations"
There is more computing power in your phone now than that computer then.
I know to most of ye kids this probablyl something ye know nothing about
The computer they used to put man on the moon in 1969 had the computing power equivalent of a modern pocket calculator! These kids nowadays have no idea!
Fuckkk Yeah! They've got all this techno knowledge and powerful gear and they can't even string 2 feckinn words together
Yoof Huh no wonder we are fuckinn doomed as a species...
The "Elvis" film has "wow" factor that I haven't seen at the cinema for years. Although I'm a huge Elvis and watched it with a highly critical eye the film delivered more than usual stuff you see in Elvis films. Both Austin Butler and Tom Hanks delivered outstanding performances, and one of them must surely win an Oscar. In my view this blows Bohemian Rhapsody away for film biopics.

Richard Jewell on prime.A clint Eastwood-directed true story film about the Security Guard who discovered the Atlanta Olympic Bomb and became a hero after saving lives by warning people. He then became suspected of planting the bomb by the FBI and the press and his life became a shit show.
Watch this and be Amazed! (15 minute film about The Dragonfly) Yes, yes I know... But seriously they are AWESOME!... Best Hunters in All of Nature, plus loads of other stuff...
Had a very pleasant afternoon between xmas and new year watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid followed by The Magnificent 7 back to back
2 great films that I never tire of watching given the opportunity
Yeah fantastic movies. Over Chrimbo I treated myself to the Great Escape followed by Only Fools and Horses Jolly Boys Beano to Margate. Magnificent.
Can’t beat the old classics, I also watched the dam busters - didn’t realise that Barnes - Wallis, who designed and built the bouncing bomb, had already built Wellington bombers, what an incredible input that man had on the British war efforts.
For anyone who has Amazon Prime, just watched film called "Operation Mincemeat"; based on a true story about how British Military created a false
invasion plan to invade Greece so that they could successfully invade the Island of Sicily prior to the invasion of Normandy.
There's no "War/Violence Scenes" it's all about the ways in which each side used dis-information and espionage as a means by which to both mis-lead and confuse the enemy, really good and although the outcome is known, the means by which The British Military/MI5 got there is amazing and beggars belief as to how close it came to Germany actually winning the war.
