Sub commander rates realism of submarine scenes.

Hey, nice little video, the guy's pretty engaging. Love his excitement when he talks about the Soviet subs

He's the best kind of nerd.

I finished Schitt's Creek last weekend. I really enjoyed this show. I grew really fond of the characters, even the ones that I thought I'd hate, like Alexis and Moira. Catherine O'Hara deserves mad props for bringing such an outlandish character to live.

The show is positive, inclusive, the characters well written, and all around it's a feel good experience about a few jerks becoming the best versions of themselves.


I'm now watching Community. Closing in on the end onf season 1, but already liking it a lot.

Borat 2, it's not very good.

The last third of S1 through the first 2/3rds of S3 might be the best 2 season run of any show.  I don't think there are any bad episodes, and even the sub-par ones are excellent.

I hope where you are watching it hasn't removed the D&D episode.

Thanks for the heads up - I'm watching on Netflix, and unfortunately that episode is removed. Fortunately there's always options

No sitcom can possibly claim that.

Fun, but his ratings were pretty much totally random.  U-571 scene  he says is totally wrong: 6/10.  Crimson Tide scene whose only real inaccuracy is that the CO is kinda going insane as part of the plot:  4/10.  I have no idea why he downrated the Act of Valor scene that was actually filmed on a sub and which he even said "that's how you'd do it."  I think he was just throwing out numbers without thinking about it, which is okay so long as one isn't betting on these things.

I get the feeling he was rating the entire movie rather than the scene, at times.

[Admiral Yi]

I paid more attention to his explanations than to his ratings.

You are wise.  His commentary is fun.

Watching Man Down. I miss Rik May all

Watching these "(x) expert rates (x) movies" thing can be addictive.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RkhZgRNC1k on space movies is fun, and gives a nice insight on how astronauts feel about their job.

That is not the Navy way!

Yesterday I watched "Royal Hearts", an awful Hallmark movie about Hank, a Texas rancher, who inherits the throne of Merania, a fictional central European nation. The plot, besides obvious fish out of water jokes and movie Texans trying to do things like movie Texans do things, revolves around a neighboring country trying to undermine Hank's rule and take over Merania, claiming both nations used to be a single country centuries ago. Also, Hank's daughter meets a hunky European stable boy. The film is directed by and stars James Brolin.

The "American inherits the throne of European nation" subgenre fascinates me.
