Happy birthday Dr. D. Please keep churning out those excellent stories. Sorry about the Yankees!

Same with 5-0 (old one). Nothing beats Jack Lord's Steve McGarrett balcony turn, where you think they have frozen the picture but, like the legendary pro he was, Jack has just held the pose and then you spot his kiss curl blowing majestically in the wind, as the most awesome theme tune ever bestowe...

I detest these shows with a fucking vengeance. "I want a complete range of blood tests done on these samples. When will they be ready?" "Oh in about 2 and a half weeks" "You've got 2 hours" "OK, boss!" FFS. Its all shit like that. One of the worst episodes I ...

Tom Brady comes back to New England tonightfor the first time since he left the Pats in 2019, winning 6 SuperBowls in 20 years in his career as QB with the Pats. A lot has been written this past week and last year or so in regards to the 21 year relationship between Brady and Head Coach Bill Belichi...

I find all of the criticism on this thread is perfectly valid and fair. I guess that quite a long while ago, probably starting with Arrow, I stopped expecting the writing for these CW shows to be better than mediocre at times and at least passable at other times. My expectations are fairly low for t...

Check out the tag line and premise I got from EW.com for a new show debuting next week on NBC called La Brea. "When a giant sinkhole opens up in Los Angeles, hundreds of people fall through and travel to a primeval world and must figure out how to survive". What an outlandish, yet ambitiou...

I wish our vaccinated numbers were higher, but they are what they are. Canada and the UK are places I would really like to visit someday, they seem like really cool places. I think Mr. X hit it on the head though, culturally speaking, the U.S is quite a unique place, a quite unique animal from othe...

Some folks speak as if vaccine hesitation, denigrating the vaccine, a lack of faith in it all of a sudden was created in 2021. All of this crap does not happen in a vacuum, it started in 2020 with the Democrats, and I would like some intellectually consistent Democrats to acknowledge and vocalize th...

I talked to one of my non vaccinated co-workers, Donna, last night and I told her that some folks I am in contact with think she is not entitled to her feelings on the vaccine. She says it must be nice for some folks to presume to tell total strangers how to feel about personal health issues.

bushwackerbob

Media platforms and government agencies and institutions have certainly taken a hit in terms of credibility in the last 20 years or so, with certain places like CNN and others denigrating the vaccine in 2020, suddenly doing a 180 in 2021. With this lack of credibility in media and institutions, is i...

As a pro vaccine person, I certainly hate to see so much of this anti vaxer misinformation out there, and there is certainly a lot of that out there, and surely vaccine misinformation has led to quite a bit vaccine hesitancy and vaccine obstinacy.

Bringing this back to Dr.D's original post, my central overall point on this subject is not whether COVID is real or whether folks are dying, but historically speaking whether this COVID threat meets the considerable threshold, a threat to our nation's survival in the same way we conscripted and dra...

bushwackerbob

buncha political radicals pissing themselves over party lines while you literally KILL people with your negligence. You all make me sick. It's not about race. It's not about democrat or republican. It's about NOT KILLING PEOPLE you useless cretins. The vaccine became politicized in 2020 when Trump ...

bushwackerbob

It apparently matters to you though, since you only point out offenders on one side of the aisle. I honestly cannot put a number on it. I think certain states were more compliant than others. My state of MA I think was on the more compliant side than others. I will say this, just as a car making it'...

bushwackerbob

The vaccine should also stop the spread even among unvaccinated since the vaccinated take away from the number of people who can spread it. There should be effectively less people spreading the disease... so why the high numbers? We're distancing. We're wearing masks. A percentage got shots. People...

I would not call a great many African Americans, who by their mistreatment by governments and institutions, justifiably in my view, ought to have a great and profound skepticism and hesitancy historically about what those institutions have to offer them, I would not call them filthy, low class redn...

bushwackerbob

Just get 'A' Vaccine ffs. It's no great guess that the people point blank REFUSING to vaccinate are in similar circles as the groups who refuse to wear a mask/refuse to change their lifestyle to anything cautious they consider an imposition of their daily lives. we DO have statistical evidence for ...

No I wasn't asking about mortality rates I meant the percentage of long term health problems in those who have it and do recover? I just wondered if you had seen anything more up to date than what I was quoting My point is if it is between 1-3% death rate PLUS the 15-20% of those affected by long t...

bushwackerbob

We can agree to disagree about the mortality rates, but I will say this in regards to that, in about mid 2020 or so, according to the CDC most age groups up to the age up to about 60 were in the 99.-98. something percent mortality range. I doubt those mortality rates have changed since last year. Th...

bushwackerbob

BWB, It's about a 3% fatality rate (not 1%) but about 15- 20% of people end up with lung scarring, emphysema symptoms and other long term health issues. So if you do get it it's a 1 in 5 chance of being dead or your way of life changing forever. (with the corresponding impact on those who will have...

I have a hard time trying to justify a vaccine mandate where for most folks there is an over 99% chance they will survive the virus even if they are unlucky enough to get infected. I might be more inclined to effect such drastic measures as forcing folks to get the vaccine if there was a higher mort...

bushwackerbob

While I'm not completely comfortable with issuing vaccine mandates, it really is time now to do so. They had mandated vaccines when I was a kid for measles, mumps, polio... all sorts of proven health regimes that made the population safer. Couldn't attend school without those vaccines. Loving freed...

I thought he was particularly funny. Watching him do Weekend Update on SNL, his style was so unique and different from anyone who had done it before or since. In my view, Norm was one of the greatest comedians that never quite found quite the right vehicle to show his considerable talents on a regul...

I don't understand why SHL doesn't get a lot of conversation in this forum? His work is incredible! Yeah, I know $60 can be a stretch for a lot, but when you compare it to what else is being offered out there, the cost: production factor goes way down. He hires the first-rate talent, uses great equ...

Alina Lopez does excellent work, I loved her in the last Enthusiastic Participation film. This Spider-Girl film looks really good from what I have seen in the trailer. I am going to have to check this one out in the next couple days or so.

You saw it 23 years too late to be impressed. As an 8 year old seeing the TANTIVE IV ship getting chased down by the Star Destroyer was just breathtaking. You weren't used to seeing anything like that disparity of size in ships. The good guys were the same size as the bad guys in the Buck Rogers se...

I hate when directors get all obsessed about seeing things in a cinema. I saw Star Wars on a shitty old TV with commercial breaks, it was on most Christmases when I was a kid, and it was epic. Same with Lynch's Dune. Don't even think I caught it all first time, it was still visually incredible. My ...

I just wanted to update you guys with my sojourn into the Dune series of books. I am currently struggling with Children of Dune and that will probably be my last book in the series. What can I say, you guys were right, the first book was very good, but the rest were a case of diminishing returns. I ...

Obviously this show is never going to win any Emmys, but I enjoy the series. I feel that it is an under the radar, underrated series. I have always found the series a refreshing change of pace and different from the other Arrowverse CW shows. I like how often they go for the laughs and jokes, it has...

Social conservatives may be the most organized and persistent antagonists, but what matters is that nobody in politics stands up for sex workers. And that's because sex work is still taboo. The politics is effectively non-partisan because society as a whole is against it. Exactly this. Despite the ...

I have seen both Heroine Peril.com films of Ashley and I thought both were quite good. If you are looking for a classic soft core SHIP film, both of these films ought to be a treat for you, but if you are looking for looking for something with more overt sexual content, those titles may disappoint. ...

bushwackerbob

I really like the idea, now that is a film I would come out to the theatre to see.

bushwackerbob

I disagree that we ought to start opening up right now and I think at this moment we ought to continue the stay at home orders and social distancing. I do think however, whether it be a month, two months, whatever, psychologically we need to see a light at the end of the tunnel of this thing. Yes, ...

She was also on Fall Guy, as the bail boundsperson, Lee Major's character worked for.

That was a good show. I can still remember the opening theme from that show, Tales from the Unknown Stuntman.

I was a regular movie-goer for many years. I also worked as a projectionist for a while why in school. I would always prefer new movies on the big screen. Watching at home is a real convenience but it doesn't match the fun of going to the theater. I totally agree with you. I have always thought the...

I was about to post here for the first time in a while. I saw a CNN story about the UK saying that after the first week of England opening up cases were falling. There was a lot of speculation the decline in cases was due to the end of the Euro footie tournament so the mass spreader events had stop...

These film companies are entitled to make any kind of films they want that they feel positively impact their financial bottom lines best, those are their decisions just as I have my opinions about those decisions. It is just disconcerting to me that American based film companies cater less and less...

Streaming put a stake into movie going and covid pretty much finished it off. Movie going was pretty much dying anyway. So making 100+ mil super block busters is probably going to be dying as well. And with those movies you get one size fits all and its pretty apparent movie makers don't care about...

Team Scarlett all the way. They diluted the box office numbers from which Scarlett derived a small percentage in order for Disney to buildup their streaming service for which Scarlett has no skin in the game. As film theatre box office numbers become less and less of a priority and goal for some ent...

When I talk about aspects such as superheroine persona, having that aura, gravitas, presence, and stature, Amy Starr checks all of those boxes in my view, she is no twentysomething bimbo playing dressup, that's for sure. And yes, she is quite easy on the eyes.

I must have been seven when I saw Richard Donner's Superman in 1978. When you are that young, you don't have that cynicism or as critical an eye as to what makes a "good" movie, plus, I was not into comic books so I didn't have any preconceived expectations going into the film. All I know ...
