    4.  And this is the big one, they are ballistic, meaning they are suborbital (the reported ceiling is 160k feet).  Considering the proximity to a nuclear power which we are right on the edge with being in a war with, we don't want this there.  A launch of this sort could easily be misunderstood by them as a nuclear attack.  Given that we have ballistic nuclear missiles positioned not too much further away, that's extremely dangerous.  

     

    The Ukrainians have been firing their own ballistic missiles (Tochka) throughout the war. The only thing holding back ATACMS had been our (silly) hesitancy.

    I did think Barack Obama was a pretty good president for a Democrat, but I was disappointed with the US response to Crimea and the Donbas separatists. I honestly felt like we failed the Ukrainians when they needed us most. Not just the US. The whole world. I don't think of it as a Democrat/Republican thing. I just know in 2014 I became a one issue guy in a way I never was before in my life. 

    The US President's true power is in foreign policy. Obama's foreign policy was terrible, he made Jimmy Carter look like Genghis Khan. History will not look kindly on his tenure.

    Hank - racist blow hard

     

    How? I don't remember any scenes where he displayed racism.

     

     

    This band, Honey Claws, is from Austin. Guys went to McCallum and Austin High. Highly underrated and a shame they never hit really big imo.

    Quantum of Solace is a bad movie.  Craig himself said it.  That was the writers strike Bond, recall.  Craig is a good Bond though.  

     

    QoS had a great opening car chase, one of the best I've seen since Ronin. I never thought the movie was as bad as folks say.

    Holy Crap.  I just finished the last episode and I fucking loved it!  I'll have to re-watch it to find all of the things I missed the first time.  It started out pretty slow, but goddamn it picked up there at the end,  That was easily the best SW stuff to come out since Rouge One and it's not even close.  I loved The Mandalorain and Obie Wan, but this was sooooo much better than either of those.  I can't wait to see season 2.  Well done SW people, well done!

     

    Thank Tony Gilroy, who's also responsible for Rogue One.

    Alternate versionEdit

    Helgeland's version, Straight Up: The Director's Cut, was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and HD DVD on April 10, 2007, after an October 2006 run at the Austin Film Festival. The Director's Cut version features a female Bronson, that is never seen only heard over the phone voiced by Sally Kellerman, does not include the voice-over by Porter and several Bronson-related scenes. During their scuffle (which is longer than in the theatrical version and was the main source of controversy), Porter earlier tells Lynn that his picture with Rosie was taken before they met, thereby rendering her jealousy unjustified. This version has an entirely different, ambiguous ending where Porter is seriously wounded in a train station shootout and driven off by Rosie.

    A June 4, 2012, look at "movies improved by directors' cuts" by The A.V. Club described Payback: Straight Up as "a marked improvement on the unrulier original.

    Better Off Ted was a short lived but fantastic comedy. Not sure which streaming thing if any it's on now.

    It was fantastic

    Better Off Ted is still on Hulu, FYI. Posting about it made me go back and watch the episode about the racist motion sensors.

     

    Great show which had many actors from, and was created by, the same guys that did Andy Richter Controls the Universe. ARCTU is on youtube.

    Northern Exposure - the show that fell down a black hole. It's not available on streaming and the DVDs are region locked.

    Great show if my memory serves me correctly.

    As with most of these situations, it's not anywhere because of music rights.

    They had an issue with the music licensing.

    The only way you can get the series in its original format is to buy the PAL version from Europe.

    Anyone else watch car building/restoration/hot rod building shows? I DVR and watch quite a few from Motor Trend network even though I have very basic mechanical abilities.

     

    Check out Bad Obsession motorsports and their project Binky series on YT. It took a couple of episodes to find their footing, but I found it highly entertaining and they're great guys who really know their stuff.

    Watching Heat for the first time. Haven't quite finished, but damn it's good. But what the hell is with Al Pacino and the way he talks in that movie. Just randomly going loud and wild and then back to talking like a normal human being. 

     

    He was written to be doing bumps in the movie, but they cut it out.

    I’m about app’ed out. I’d just like BBC to provide the content the name implies. But I guess the History Channel, Sundance, and Arts and Entertainment Network should have told me out front.

     

    Aside from torrents, check out Soap2Day/Soapgate.org. They have a ton of stuff for free.

    ETA

    The US lets Saudi Arabia use their Abrams's to commit genocide in Yemen, so those European customers won't hafta worry about is ever getting all uppity about how they're gonna use them.

    French let the UAE use the LeClerc to do the same. 

     

    Simplistic and facile. With the Yemeni rebels launching scuds into Saudi refineries, drones into Saudi cities, and threatening global trade in the Red sea, what would you have the Saudis do?

    Outstanding!!

     

    Critical Drinker is often pretty good. His reviews of old classics (Predator, Demolition Man, Road House, etc) are very good. Make sure to check out his second channel as much of the "Drinker's Extra Shots" retro reviews are there.
