Politics XXXVI (will catch up to superbowls soon)
There's a few decades of history of people leaving Appalachia to find better jobs. It doesn't change the poverty of the region, though. Word on the news was they were headed towards State Farm Arena and the police bottlenecks them on the road in front of CNN rather than let the protest spread uncontrolled. I think at that point it was a target because that's where they were.

Coronavirus: Continuing Vigilance
Its pretty weak sauce if the attempt was to poke at Gen-X. But maybe there aren't enough people who remember Big Otis from Kellog's OKs or something for them to actually target the 55+ crowd?

Coronavirus: Continuing Vigilance
The age based high risk group is 65 or older, so DOB around 1955. Meaning that when this ad campaign first started, that group was 17. The ads ran until 1984 (an unprecedented 12 years!) meaning its conceivable that those in their early 40s would remember the ad from their childhood. Heck, the child actor who played "Mikey" is himself only about 51 or so, so also outside the high risk category.

IMO, it was a mistake to start filming the final three with the idea that the second and third films were being developed while the first was being developed and shot. They probably wasted a lot of time going up blind alley's and changing their minds regarding what they were going to do (there are several variations of this last film that were started AFTER The Last Jedi premiered).

Funny Stuff: A New Hope
Its never been officially released - it was produced so the rights owner so he could keep the rights. He bought the film back from Corman when it was finished and sat on it (supposedly after he made a deal with FOX to make Fantastic Four films, Avi Arad had the prints destroyed, but they've been circulating in bootleg circles for years so that story may be apocryphal).

The Best Musical or Comedy Drama Action Film thread (THIS IS THE GENERAL MOVIE STUFF THREAD)
Can't believe I forgot the Veronica Mars movie - I pledged to kickstarter and saw it in theaters! I liked The Man from UNCLE recent movie. The movies edited from the new show with additional footage for Eurpean rerelease are a mixed bag but interesting to see. The two Dark Shadows films from the 70s are good as 70 horror films, but not necessarily good adaptions of the series. Also forgot The Wild, Wild West which was a horrible movie. I wish I forgot it more often. The Mission: Impossible movies may be good, may not be good...but I'll never watch them. I tried to watch Hawaii 5-0 but didn't like it. This was late in its run though, do I missed the early stuff that seemed to be well liked. I think Westworld is a good exploration of themes hinted at in the movies (and its a far sight better than the previous TV show, BEYOND WESTWORLD). The Magnum and MacGyver reboots aren't really the same type of show as the originals, being much more in the modern crime solving team of people with special talents genre. They're not bad shows for what they are imo, but what they are aren't what the original shows were. Haven't seen the Lost in Space reboot yet.

(revival with original characters, reboot) Are You Being Served? (original cast) The Beverly Hillbillies (reboot) Miami Vice (reboot) Dark Shadows (2 movies with original cast, reboot) The Monkees (follow-up to the series, called HEAD) The Munsters (movie with most of cast after series cancelled) The Addams Family (reboot) Pennies from Heaven (condensed retelling of series) Quatermass (condensed retelling of series) Quatermass II (condensed retelling of series) Quatermass and the Pitt (condensed retelling of series) Quatermass Conclusion (re-edited version of series) The Brady Bunch (reboot) Doctor Who (reboot during the series run) Doomwatch (original cast I think) Bewtiched (sorta reboot sorta meta) The Dukes of Hazzard (reboot) Our Miss Brooks (continuation of series) Charlies Angels (reboots) Police Squad!

Politics XXXV (Life in the Vault is about to change)
"Records show that the police investigation was centered around a "trap house" more than 10 miles from Taylor's apartment, and that a judge had approved a "no-knock" search warrant, meaning officers did not have to identify themselves, according to The Courier-Journal." No knock warrants should be banned in all municipalities, IMO. I understand the desire of the police to keep people from destroying evidence, but they will continue to lead to these kind of incidents if allowed to stand. Sadly, reading this story reminds me a lot of Kathryn Johnston. I'm sure there are plenty of others people who've lost their lives around the country that others could point out.

TMP allegedly never got a proper edit due to effects shots not being done in time, so the original version of the film (as opposed to the us tv premire longest, or Ray Wise's director's cut) has some pacing issues. My biggest problem is that, in making Face the person 'running' the mission, they made Hannibal superfluous.

3D RPGs
Ys VIII is set on an island (the main characters are ship wrecked), but it is a fantasy game. Character design isn't realistic/highly stylized.

Into Darkness is the only one I've seen once. I plan on rewatching all the movies, so will see it again but it really didn't work for me on my one viewing. But then again I love TMP... 😳

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? (or are we PC only for this list)? Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana?
