The MOVIE thread

Opens next month. Some of it was filmed in NSB, too! Not so sure about this trailer - hoping the movie is better than the clips they chose to put together here. I've really grown my appreciation for Brad Pitt as an actor. Especially after watching "Moneyball"!
===============
Lights out - and away they go! #F1TheMovie only in theaters June 27. #F1Movie #F1 From Apple Original Films and the filmmakers from Top Gun: Maverick comes the high-octane, action-packed feature film F1® The Movie, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski. The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Kosinski, seven-time FORMULA 1® world champion Lewis Hamilton, Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Chad Oman. Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone. F1® The Movie also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem, and was shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competed against the titans of the sport.

 
This three episode series currently on Netflex is definitely worth watching. I found it amazing how the documentary shows how quickly the country went from being united to being divided, not that long after the manhunt for Bin Laden began. It also has a lot of interesting information I'd never heard before. Highly recommend.

Over the course of the hunt for Bin Laden, there were some very dumb moves made that not only cost lives but greatly prolonged the hunt for literally years. But I won't ruin it for anyone wanting to watch it. It is a very well put-together documentary. I would highly recommend people who have an interest in 9/11 watch it.
 
Not possible! (Checks calendar and counts on fingers and toes multiple times.) Damn, it's possible. :(
I was in Alabama for Memorial Day and found the "classic rock" station. They were playing Nirvana. My first thought was that is not classic rock. Then the DJ came on and said those songs were 34 years old. I had to pull over to let that sink in.

Amusingly, my daughter loves the '80s. She likes the fashion, music, and hairstyles more than I did when I was living it. LOL! We periodically have '80s movie night. That's fun. :)
The 80s was its own special kind of crazy, but the movies and music weren't cranked out in corporate cookie cutter lines like so much of today's stuff. So the 80s is more authentic.

I won't go so far as to call Ryan Coogler's Sinners a masterpiece (though it's damn close), but it's as good a film as you're likely to see anytime soon. Far removed from the various IP properties being foisted on us, this is a film that is just as interested in saying something about our society as it is about making money. It's weaknesses are in its ambition--the film has 15 pounds of ideas crammed into a 10 pound film.

But damn, what a ride it is.
