I cannot imagine what would drive people to do that, and to endure that kind of chaos. You guys are amazing. I know couldn’t do it, if that show was any indication.
What are you watching & why? (splain)

If you mean Waterloo, I used to go to a meeting there every year on Halloween.

I was disappointed. You'll have to let me know what you think.

Yes, from my back porch.
Watched this last night, too.
Decent continuation from pt 1 of this remake. As with pt 1, the visuals are great.
It’s not as cheesy as the 80s version that starred Kyle McLachlan. Overall, I found it entertaining enough.

I enjoyed it, but the way they sped through the plotline was somewhat confusing. I'm guessing they had to edit it down, either that or there just wasn't a lot of buildup between happenings.

I felt this way too. It wasn't always obvious how long the jumps in time were

That lead actor, the messiah complex guy... he represents another case of Angelina Jolie arms. Little sticks that pack a large wallop. Still liked the movie though

Same. For folks unfamiliar with the book, it's solid sci-fi fare. For fans of the book, I'd argue the recent movies are the best adaption to date. Definitely not perfect but adapting Dune for cinema has never been an easy or simple prospect.

I just watched (and will re-watch) the new documentary about the Blue Angels that just started airing on Prime.
If you liked "Top Gun" (1986) & "Top Gun: Maverick" (2022), you've gotta watch this too!!!
I'm not naive and understand that this was "puff piece" filmed & produced by the Navy designed to make everyone associated with the Navy & the Blue Angels look good but the main thing that I took away from the show was the skill, dedication and precision with which the pilots fly their aircraft, always within inches and seconds of disaster.
What also impressed me was how they and their support staff strive to achieve excellence in carrying out their duties -- something that I once tried to do in my chosen professions-- and (as corny as it may sound) it made me proud to see that there are men & women like these who serve our country.
Hurraaah!!!
The Blue Angles in the Diamond "Yankee" Formation -- overlapping tip to tip
Update: Just rewatched this on my main AV system w/a (what is now considered a small) 55" "big screen" TV (that I'm waiting to die so that I can upgrade to a 70 incher) w/a 5 way surround speaker system (including subwoofer that I cranked up to max) & it was WAY better.
Felt like actually sitting in the planes in some of the scenes w/the seat of the pants, wall shaking vibrations coming from the sub.
