Confirm, the movie Up Periscope is great, and similar things happened when Swedish diesels exercised with the US fleet and "sank" a carrier.

I saw the WW-2 movie "Pressure" last night. As a retied USAF weather forecaster ... I did not hate it.

Jeff, Steve Petrick and I do not have adult beverages. They conflict with our medication. I haven't had one in 30 years; he in over 20. I have never been legally drunk in my entire life. I am too much of a control freak.

Now, there was one New Year's Eve that Leanna and I got absolutely drunk on non-alcoholic grape juice while cooking fudge. We never could figure out what caused that.

Too much vanilla extract...

Amazon has cancelled the Stargate reboot after disagreements with the creative team. Amazon wanted woke for the imaginary modern audience; the creative team wanted traditional themes that would be respected by the original audience.

A biography of the famous admiral Halsey played by James Cagney. A war movie without battle scenes.

Good Movie.

I saw Young Washington today in the theater. I highly recommend this film and its story of the George Washington's early life as a Virginia Milita officer during the French and Indian Wars.

Any idea how accurate it is?

The reviewers say it's pretty good on accuracy. Some leeway on the tactical battle scences protrayal, but no one probably really knows how those battles went anyways.. Some of the stuff is from 19th Century biographies rather than 18th Century documents.

But overall I thought it was very good.

In Xanadu did Newton-John
Some dodgy singing work agree:
Where C, the sacred key-note, ran
Through melodies atrocious and
Down to an off-key G.
