Road House is on. Same with Shawshank.

Is 'Revolutionary Road' the di Caprio and WInslett get back together film worth watching?

I've never lasted more than five minutes.

OK, thanks for that; I sort of figured it'll go that way, given the synopsis.  :(

I vaguely remember liking it. But it was a long time ago

Ed's racist Soylet Green review:

A freighting vision of Hillary's America, overrun by all the muds and other scum she let into the country. A place where hard working white Anglo-Saxons have to scrum in the streets for food, opressed by Hillary's jackbooted thugs.

Old movie Skippy and a C- at best.

Is that streaming aggregator going to take precipitation into consideration?

No.  Because it will be delivered online, not satellite.

So, anyone seen Dr Strange already? I am seeing very good reviews all around. It might be the rare movie I will see in a cinema (the last one was Guardians of Galaxy).

Same. Didn't even manage to catch Star Wars.  :hmm:

I only know one person who saw it. He said it was okay but that Cumberbatch had a terrible American accent.

The current telenovela I've been watching is Clase 406; which is somewhere between "Stand and Deliver" and Beverly Colinas 90210.  Strangely the series seems to confirm Donald Trump's view on Mexicans:

Rapists? Check!
Drug Dealers?  Check!
Murderers?  Check!
Bad Hombres?  Check and double check!

So maybe Trump is just a fan of Telenovelas and developed his world-view from them.

Also the series features a sleazy modeling agency which lures innocent young chicas into a world of prostitution; and apparently Mexican high school is a 24/7 cat fight (RAWR!)  It's truly marvelous television.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Consider this disturbing thought: if Americans learn to understand the realities of Mexico by watching Telenovelas on TV, and Mexico is right across the border - just imagine the worldview space aliens are getting of Humanity as a whole, from listening in on broadcast TV.  :hmm:
