    He had to be a Cobra Pilot with a handle like that.

    He was a real nice person and very smart. He and his friend were both heli pilots. I didn't know much at all about him just conversing online. He had a picture of a heli as avatar. it had a tail propeller blade on back if my memory serves me.

    I'm watching an old John Dillinger movie. The police have barricaded the street, and are using the car for cover. Dillinger shoots one of the cops and the force of the blast causes him to fly forward, over the top of the car. I'm not a physics major but what?

    I love it when the person driving is constantly turning the wheel a little bit..If that's how they really drive they'd be in a ditch.

    A new re-make of the Wizard of Oz is on the horizon featuring it’s all inclusive staff of actors which will undoubtedly highlight the LGBTQ etc community as well as a racially diverse cast.

    As I thought about it for a second, I can already see a massive amount of infighting regarding the characters and their attributes, or lack thereof.
    First off, it’s without any doubt that the wicked witch is going to be white and probably male and Dorothy will probably be a gender identity seeking transgender who looks good in ruby pumps but what of the others?
    Which groups will be represented by characters with no brain, no heart and no courage? I’m sure that the NAACP, the ACLU, BLM and Antifa will have some voice in the matter.
    When it comes to all that, which grouping will be granted the position of the all knowing wizard, the good witch and which group will be represented by the Munchkins?

    Stupid movie? Heck yeah but let’s face it, movies aren’t written and produced strictly for a public’s enjoyment but instead, they’re made to make money and what better way to make a ton of money than to appease a racially charged and gender confused population of movie goers?

    There have been remakes of the Wizard of Oz and I don't think it will be the draw you do. I don't bother with most remakes. I won't bother with this one.

    I don't know what stupid or revolting things are in the new movie Bros. because I'm never going to watch it, but I bet there are plenty. ...from Infowars.com

    A motion picture graphically depicting a gay man’s romantic love life titled, “Bros,” opened in theaters this weekend to a highly unreceptive U.S. audience.


    The movie, billed as a “gay romcom for the masses,” failed to yield even $5 million during its opening weekend despite a barrage of ads and promotional material and a budget of nearly $22 million.


    The film’s spectacular rejection at theaters appears to be another testament to the “Get woke, go broke” mantra, and suggests the American public does not want to submit to pro-LGBT propaganda.


    “This just means that the public at large had no interest in seeing not only a gay rom com, but one with graphic sex scenes,” writes ShowBiz411 movie critic Roger Friedman.

    I can't speak for the public at large, but it certainly does apply to me. Of course, I feel the same about graphic sex scenes of any type; not what I want to see on the big screen.

    I'm perverted, I guess. I like to watch rabbits doing it but it never lasts long enough to get me excited.

    It's stupid to me that the driving scenes in most movies shows the driver while driving talking eye-to-eye with a passenger and not watching the road. It gets me every time to think 'Why are they not watching the road?'

    I love how all gunshots in westerns are accompanied by the whiny ricochet sounds. I have never heard it happen even once in real life...but I've never shot a cactus.

    They also dampen down the sound. I had a Winchester 30/30 when I lived in Oregon and the first time I fired it I couldn't hear out of one ear for a week.
