I'd qualify during winter, don't do much but turn on the TV for noise while I study.

Watched a film "The Book of Brian" starts out slow but picks up later. The story is very telling, I'm a firm believer that people get what they deserve in the end.

I don't have to deliver justice, I'll leave that to destiny, she's a bitch and serves her justice on a plate gone cold.

I would say karma not destiny for karma indeed is a birch. Seen it in action, quite a show. Even more interesting when people still keep their blindfolds on...

It’s safe to say that scientists aren’t always pleased with how scientific facts, or simply scientists themselves, are handled in movies – and that certainly includes plenty of space-based epics. So, as part of a series on women at the forefront of space exploration, BBC Radio 5 decided to ask a variety of NASA employees what they thought were the best and worst space films.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad world is on TV right now. I love that movie! That movies never fails to brighten the worst day. Don't know if they could have packed any more stars into that movie.
In caveman days I edited 16mm film at a TVstation. Take a look at the final scene when everyone laughs. (I won't spoil the ending.) The stunt-double does an incredible acrobatic move that flies right by you because it cuts to everyone laughing, unless you watch frame by frame. Check it out.

I took a chance and went to see Solo today (matinee, of course).

Color me surprised. As far as subject matter goes, the film was perfect. I found myself, towards the middle of the film, believing that Alden Ehrenreich was, in fact, a younger Han Solo.

I liken this film more to the original trilogy than to the latest installments. One is not completely overwhelmed by CGI, the characters are believable, and the action is just right -- not overblown just for the sake of it.

I give it two thumbs up.

Don't know that it would qualify in the "Makes you smile" category, but one of the more touching films I have seen is "Taking Chance" with Kevin Bacon. I'll leave it at that other than to say that if you make the effort to watch it, I don't think you will regret it.

I highly dig the original mst3k series! Mike Nelson is my favorite host but I'm cool with Joel in the original series too. Most of all the original "Crow T." and "Tom Servo" rock!:D

In my opinion the reboot (2017?) is a disaster! They should have kept the original cast and impromptu riffing style! It went from classy, knowing, humor and respect for the viewers' eclectic knowledge to three video game obsessed jerks who babel all over the film and won't shut the F. up!:mad:

Thanks!
