My friend keeps asking me about movies, and new music. I keep telling him I'm not interested in none of it. He keeps asking me to bring content up on YouTube, so he can show me. I would rather set my hair on fire. So I bring up Garage 54, Anton, Uncle Doug, and Matt's Off Road Recovery, and Vicegrip Garage, just so he can get a sense of how I feel.
What people watch on YouTube is personal, either you're into that sort of thing, or you're not. If it all were something everyone could watch. YouTube would be the biggest Network on Cable, and it would be a premium channel.

Pluto TV has it's own History channel that is pretty good.

This movie is best watched in German, but with English subtitles. This is a German movie made in 1993, not Hollywood nonsense.

Shit like this ^^^^ Is what I will watch all day long.

Yeah another one of those dipstick lickers. By that I mean, that's how they check the engine oil and the state of the car when it was parked.

The new Ghostbusters flick was a decent watch. They did a great job of capturing that 80s spirit. Ford vs Ferrari is another movie that comes to mind as well.

One of the best movies I've seen in a while is The Straight Story. It's a movie about real people like us, just a really well told story. I'd say that a majority of movies leave my nerves a bit jangled, but this one is almost like hiking a trail, or catching a wave. So positive and down-to-earth.

Agreed excellent movie. You can feel the brutality of war

Another great movie I discovered its subtitled and free on YouTube. Great job of showing insanity and barbarism of war2.

The most fun and ironic part is how these fucks like to harp on "20 millions" they lost in WW2 and demanding some kind of special treatment because of that but pretend they didn't start the whole shit themselves hand-in-hand with literally Hitler. And now they again stirring the same kind of unnecessary crap in Europe not thinking how it might turn out.

Maybe it's time for them to rewatch their own anti-war propaganda.

The United States is starting this shit. The US. WE ARE. I can't be more clear on this.

There would be nothing going on in Ukraine, if the US didn't overthrow Ukraine in 2014. We know, with absolute certainty that the US overthrew Ukraine in 2014. There is absolutely no question, whatsoever, about this. When Victoria Nuland said "Fuck the EU", this was in the context of who the next leader of Ukraine was going to be, a month before Yanukovych was ousted.

You can criticize the Soviets all you like and I'd agree with you. But this country, is run by communists. Stop pretending this is the country you grew up in. It's not. We are the bad guys this time around. WE are pushing for WWIII. Not Russia.

Bullshit. Not a single POTUS (after Reagan) ever floated even a hint of idea of invading Russia. So cut this 50 Ruble crap once and for all.

So what? One ousted, another elected. How does it endanger a nuclear power with 10,000 tanks and a standing army of 800,000 or so? No, really, how the fuck it does? Even if next Ukie president proclaimed a desire to attack and defeat Russia (nobody did, just so your uninformed ass knows). Is it doable? See "nukes" above.

George W. Bush withdrew from the ABM treaty established in 1972 by Richard Nixon in 2002. Why? That was the beginning, as far as I can see, of the ramp up of raising tensions with Russia. The US just recently withdrew from the Open Skies Treaty which was established in 2002. Why?

If the US had been entirely successful in the coup in Ukraine, Crimea - Russia's only warm water port in the world, would no longer be their only warm water port. If the US had been entirely successful in the war in Syria, Russia's only Middle Eastern military base in Tartus would no longer be there.

It's quite easy to see that the United States is trying to isolate Russia. The US talks about free trade, but they sure as hell don't practice it. Russia has a TON of petroleum energy. Europe doesn't. Russia has ALWAYS sold energy to Europe, even when it was the USSR. Part of the reason the US overthrew Ukraine was to stop the Nordstream II, and to control energy exports going from Russia to Europe through Ukraine. This is why there are SEVERAL children of congressmen on the BOD of energy companies, crackhead Hunter Biden isn't the only one - he's just the most obvious venal one.

FuckCCP89 says

Yanukovych was ousted.

So what? One ousted, another elected.

As I pointed out, we have solid proof that he was removed by the United States and there was no Maidan "Revolution". The US has created the entire situation that now exists in Ukraine, and it's lying about Russia's intentions there. Russia has said, multiple times, that for security reasons they cannot allow Ukraine to become part of NATO or allow US foreign military bases or weaponry there.

The United States also claims that it's Russia that is expansionist and aggressive. It's just, silly. It's a pathetic claim when the US is bombing 7 nations.

FuckCCP89 says

This is the Cuban Missile Crisis all over again. Just like the US wouldn't allow Russia or China to have a sphere of influence in Canada or Mexico, Russia is in the same position. The Cuban Missile Crisis would have never happened if the US didn't place ICBMs into Turkey and the resolution of that was to remove the nuclear missiles from Turkey, wasn't it?

I don't think it's POSSIBLE you can't honestly see this and know it. I feel you are being dishonest with me, and argue dishonestly. It's irritating to deal with somebody who seems to be a propagandist. I can't change a mind that is paid to mislead people, and lie to them - or simply doesn't care about being correct or seeing the overall situation and just dogmatically and thoughtlessly wants to "win" an argument.

This is damning indictment of your level of thinking and discourse. Not mine. Feel free to insult me as much as you like. You can call me anything. Should Patrick object, I will ask Patrick to allow you to write anything you like to me.

It's quite obvious to me the problem Americans face with propaganda is not from Russian sources, but from US intelligence forces. It's just fortunate it's so inept and incompetent. Gone are the days when you had very competent psychopaths like Edward Bernays creating it, and now it's a bunch of 1/4 wits screaming that any opposition to their stupidity is white racist nationalists, and Russian bots. It's so transparently bad. Truly is clown world. I just have to laugh at it.

If they didn't have to lie to convince people, they wouldn't and they do.

Just hilarious. She is paid $30,000,000 a year to do this, about 1/2 million dollars a WEEK, to do this. She sucks at it. She's so hilariously incompetent. This is Operation Mockingbird. The extreme level of incompetence is an indication that this nation is falling apart. The US government has a budget around $4 Trillion a year, and that is what they come up with. This is how dumb they think people are and people aren't this dumb - but our intelligence agency's propagandist are that dumb. Maddow is a Rhodes scholar, she must have been very embarrassed to have to say that.

BTW - I looked up how much 50 Rubles is. About $0.64 cents. I'm trying to think what I could buy with that. Perhaps that would cover the cost of a roll of toilet paper, if I purchased in bulk.

It's highly hypocritical of US/Europe to be up in arms (pun intended) because Russia recognized "separatist territories/movements", spare me the Minsk treaty cause this is when Kosovo enters the chat. How many treaties were violated by recognizing every shithole (even if they had no means of sustaining themselves economically) which wanted to leave Yugoslavia and making sure by means of war that they succeed?! I don't care if you support secessions or not, but whether you do or don't, you have to be consistent. In any case, my prediction is those 2 regions separate and the rest of Ukraine joins Nato without any significant warfare (hopefully).

Not saying you're wrong, just that the US and Europe selectively choose to honor treaties. Yugoslavia was pretty much divided up as the US and Europe saw fit, in the face of any treaties which suddenly didn't matter anymore. I don't expect Russia to act any differently after the US and Europe showed them how it's done. Generally I am in favor of secessions over war or local squashing, anywhere and everywhere. Usually you can come to an agreement via diplomacy. If TX or FL decided to secede tomorrow by vote, would we want xiden to send tanks to squash it since it was likely caused by "disinformation"? ;)

The US and Germany literally caused the break up of Yugoslavia behind the scenes and then illegally used force in 1999 for the final coup de grace.

Russia has every right to demand NATO stop expanding, we've literally surrounded them in the past 2 decades.

I believe the only part of Yugoslavia which did NOT have the right to secede was Kosovo (as it was not a full-fledged republic, but just an autonomous one within Serbia). This was the dangerous/illegal precedent to which Russia is now pointing. Every other secession in Yugoslavia was probably legal, and we can remember that Czech Rep and Slovakia split without any bloodshed and ill will (and presumably without CIA meddling). Most peoples want their national state.

BTW I was in Yugoslavia few times, incl a few months in 1991 and saw some of that with my own eyes, and I can speak one of their languages...sort of since I have forgotten a lot because I have not used it lately. My Yugoslav friends even in 1989 were telling that this country will blow up which I did not believe at that time given decent life quality and overall friendliness of people.

If I was a piece of shit intelligence agent, I'll tell you that in this day and age, I'd really would work for the FSB before I'd work for the CIA or the FIB. I view our intelligence agencies as being the biggest impediments to our Constitution and they do nothing but damage this country.

Yeah, and I do drink way too much. Fortunately I'm becoming noticeably fat, so, I'll move on to my next phase of working out and getting into shape. I need a vice, and I go through cycles. I use to follow a military workout.

Anyhow, people have an entirely wrong idea of what it's like to be an intelligence agent. They are people that have no moral imperative at all, they just take orders and carry them out regardless of how immoral it is. Some I imagine do it believing they're doing it for a higher good. Josef Mengele believed he did nothing wrong right up until he died. Intelligence agents are not allowed to think independently.

Here's an example, Epstein was allowed to run a child brothel ring as a honey trap, and this was done with the FULL knowledge of our intelligence agencies. 1/2 of the child pornography websites are run by our intelligence agencies. The CIA got the nickname of the Cocaine Importation Agency during the Vietnam war. There was the King Suicide letters back in the 1960's and it's almost certain the FIB murdered King.

https://babylonbee.com/news/amazon-confirms-rings-of-power-orcs-will-be-wearing-maga-hats

JUN 23, 2022
U.S. - Amazon has given fans a first look at the Orc character design in the studio's upcoming Rings of Power show, and it looks like MAGA hats are back on the menu.

That's right: according to the showrunners, the evil, twisted baddies in Amazon's take on the Lord of the Rings universe will be wearing MAGA hats "to show how evil they really are."

"We couldn't think of a better way to show how degraded and awful the Orcs are," said one producer. "This is what Tolkien would have wanted: for us to inject modern-day politics into his universe, rather than to allow the themes to remain timeless and untainted by cringey and on-the-nose representations of political figures."

"Because if we can't compare Sauron to Trump, how are we supposed to get our point across?"

To help drive home the point, just in case audiences don't get it, the good guys in the series will be wearing Pride pins and "Resist" T-shirts, and Galadriel will have purple hair and spend most of her screen time decrying white supremacy.

Sauron will also have orange hair and a "bad suntan" while calling everything "tremendous", with his running catchphrase being "Make Middle Earth Great Again", according to sources.

I honestly don't have the attention span for new movies. Am I just old? I'll still gladly watch the movies I loved in my youth (primarily 80s comedies), but nothing today stands out to me. Invariably I'll find myself reaching for my phone.

Well maybe, but I used to be a movie buff, and the quality of the AVERAGE film has gone way down.

When making a film was expensive, they had to put in some effort into it. This was why franchises went to SUCK so fast, they'd depend on the name of the property to bring people in rather than building a quality film. This is why Star Trek 4 was a comedy, and a pretty lousy one at that, but CHEAP.

Here's a film that was made for 15,000 Euros.

A lot of films that were made in the 1980's and 1990's are now parodies of themselves. The film above is a comedy, but it hits all the notes of a typical 1990's science fiction flick.

Warning: it's subtitled.

Squid games 1st season was great,

2nd season they added a character who doesn't have money to chop off his/ her dick for sex change, so risking life to get that money. Irony is lot of women hate being women due to period etc, yet this person wants to turn into a ugly chick.

There's a high probability I'll never watch a movie at a theater ever again. Why? The movies and experience sucks ass.

I can and will do much better at my home. I don't watch TV so I never see new movie ads. If it's a good movie I'll hear about it. Not paying $20 a person to watch a movie I'll likely not like. I can wait.

What I find I like nowdays are real slow burns. Like as long as I can see a real story developing, it can go on forever. It’s no wonder one of my favorite non sci fi movies as a teenager was Dancing With Wolves.

Horizon got terrible reviews but I liked it. Loving Dark Winds on AMC, and Longmire was one of the best shows I’ve seen. All have long buildups and tremendous story telling and character development. Same thing with Landman. Billy Bob is pretty fantastic. I’m halfway through season 2 of Yellowjackets and not certain if I like it or not. The premise itself is great but almost all the characters are very flawed in a terrible mental illness sort of way. And while it’s not exactly a slow burn, it’s very heavy in the story telling and development. I think my biggest issue is I compare the situation to what boys would do and it seems there would be none of the drama. Like as soon as they found the cabin, it would be an immediate division of roles and that would be that. They’d work on their own tasks, help out when necessary, and basically survive and even thrive without issue, probably shoring up the cabin as well. In Yellowjackets too many of the characters are annoying and the males are beta’s and it’s irritating. My wife already stopped watching and not sure if I’ll watch a third season.

Haven’t been to a movie in a theatre since before Covid…maybe 5-6 years.

I've gone through all of the Chinese and Korean movies. The one's left that they are currently producing in Korea are Metrosexual nonsense, and in China they are producing either Communist propaganda movies, or crappy Marvel style fantasy bull crap.

I haven't seen a decent French title in years. I have been watching Russian movies lately. Started with their WWII movies, now watching dramas and medieval historical titles. I'm surprised how brutally anti Communist the current movies are. There's big difference between movies produced in the 70's through early 90's and their later movies. Current flicks do not paint Bolsheviks and Soviets in a positive light.

I hope Mel Gibson gets back to work soon to Make Hollywood Great Again.

Oh and Trump should address the woke DEI bullshit going on with Google Youtube's CC automatic captions.
For a bunch of Sissi's that bitch and moan about misgendering. When you watch foreign titles on Youtube, you have keep in mind that girls are boys and boys are girls. Mother is Father, and Wife is Husband and so on and so forth. It's hilarious watching a Russian flick and see the most macho guy in the scene being told he got a letter from her husband. Fucking degenerate scumbags.

When Bill Clinton signed the free trade agreement with China, then that was when China went all in with its investments in (and CONTROL of) Hollywood.

More support is needed for independent studios to put on good movies without being under the thumb of the Chicoms.

And fuck China as far as not making a movie that does not appeal to Chinese moviegoers.

If anybody has ever been annoyed by consuming narcissism, snobbery and appetite fetishistic elitism of 'foodies', then this is a movie for you.

I'd say after that. It was around 2010, because before that China had other fish to fry, like buying up and shutting down our rare earth mining and refining and moving the knowledge base to CHYna.

But GOOD NEWS.

I found him annoying even before seeing that movie. Now I want to avoid all movies with him in them.

https://palaceintrigue.substack.com/p/superman-the-end-of-woke-movies

As for Barbie, though, I refused to see that movie on principle. To call it woke or feminist wouldn’t even be doing it justice—the movie is virulently, rabidly, emphatically anti-male. Its message is that men are unneeded and the world would be better off if all men just disappeared. I will not support a movie like that but unfortunately a lot of people did—and I’d wager the vast majority of them did so unknowingly, thinking they were just going to see a nice saccharine fun happy movie about a doll they played with as a kid.

And that’s how the wokes operate. It’s all Trojan horses. They can never just openly or explicitly push their toxic sludge on the masses—it always gets rejected. Because by definition, most Americans aren’t radical woke radicals. It’s an inherently fringe viewpoint, yet this ultra radical worldview (which, for the record is that all white men should be exterminated) has seemingly taken over Hollywood. So that’s why they always have to use the back door. Slip it in there. Bait and switch you with it. It’s an inherently fringe and radical ideology so it has to be subtly pushed on the masses—slow drip, subliminally almost—in order to take root.

Don’t for a second think that they don’t know how to push radical ideology on an inherently hostile population. They do. They worked all this stuff out in the 60s with “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky.

Anyway, Hollywood has really been on a hard left/woke turn the past decade or so, and it’s gotten especially terrible and noticeable since 2020. Nowhere was this more apparent than with Disney, the largest entertainment corporation in America. They’ve turned the Marvel brand ultra-woke. Star Wars, too. They’ve even woke-ified the live-action remakes to their animated classics.

Everything is gender and race-swapped now: all the white males have got to go! Basically any Disney movie nowadays is predictable: you know any male character in the movie is either going to be the Big Bad Guy (evil), useless and incompetent, or a total straw man stand in to show just how hard women have it in today’s world (like a guy saying something ridiculously sexist that the movie pretends is totally commonplace.) You know the woman is going to have no flaws and be a total Mary Sue, and the only real lesson of the movie is that “society” (aka the Patriarchy) or the men in her life were just holding her back from reaching her true awesome potential.

Women will kick the living shit out of guys twice their size in these movies, too. Because women aren’t just as mentally capable as men—oh, no. They’re PHYSICALLY equal to men as well. In fact, they’re superior PHYSICALLY. And mentally, too, for that matter. Women are simply better than men in every conceivable way. Men are, as a species, useless and irredeemable.

Once you know these rules, you can pretty much predict how not only every Disney movie is going to go, but a lot of other shows and movies as well. These Woke rules have taken over a large chunk of the entertainment industry.

And so for this reason, I’ve largely checked out of movies. I don’t go anymore. For one thing I don’t want to support such a toxic, hateful and frankly idiotic ideology. But another reason is, it’s just boring. It’s awful and predictable content. Again, we already know exactly how it’s going to go: no man can ever do anything good, he’s always got to be shown up or saved by a woman. Women are all powerful and all knowing, flawless divine beings. (Somehow women are simultaneously all powerful yet held back by incompetent and idiotic males—explain that one).

Movies have been put into a straitjacket by these woke rules, and it turns out you can’t really write a good story when your main goal is to push a particular radical and insane political message. ...

As long as you’re not a fucking idiot, you can see which way the winds are blowing. Disney’s stock price is in the shitter (down 40% over the past 4 years). Trump just dominated in the 2024 election.

The American public is sick of woke. And you will go broke pushing it down their throats. Now I understand these massive companies largely no longer care about money, they just push whatever social engineering BlackRock and Vanguard tell them to, because money ultimately doesn’t matter anymore as they’ll just have the Fed print trillions of dollars to bail them out if things ever actually get bad.
