    But it made me so happy. The whole frigging show was far fetched.

    I know it was , but, it keeps you in a believing spirit up till a point, like......how did she get Him off the island without any big a$$ questions....how did she take over a company with, I'm sure many high rankings stockholders, and officials not running it through a gauntlet first, and that are just some of the things that 1st jumped into my mind.
    All movies are unrealistic, but it's the movies ability to make us believe something that makes it work, and they had me there for most of the movie, and then jumped ship at the end.
    Again I still liked it.

    Just re-watched last night, possibly for the 6th time, Daniel Day Louis' Last of the Mohicans. Powerful movie with a mesmerizing soundtrack. Enjoyable once again.

    Hmmm. You are the 1st person I've talked to that didn't like it. Of course I only know 5 people that has seen it so....:shrug:
    I haven't even seen the last one right before it yet.
    Although I have it on my DVR, I believe it's called Jurassic World Dominion:Extended Edition, or something like that.

    Watched Ballerina over the weekend. If you like John Wick style action, you'll like it.

    But to be honest, I could watch Ana De Armas read the phone book for 2 hours and not be bored.

    The movie Sinners is pretty crazy. Oh Brother Where Art Thou meets Preacher meets The Walking Dead. Covers a lot of bases with an interesting sound track.

    Local radio station had a call in to try and win tickets for the latest installment. He encouraged listeners to call in and tell him their favorite movie of the franchise. Every single caller said what I would have said, the first one.

    Strange indeed. Can't pitcher Al Capone using guys from the Mississippi Delta during Jim Crow. I rooted for the Irish vamp. TBH I watched bit and pieces of it, not whole movie.

    Daniel Day is one bad mofo. Amazing in Gangs of New York and Lincoln.

    It's funny because I am a big fan of Crichton and have read Jurassic Park and Lost World. While I think the original was the best of the movie franchise, both were still pretty far off from the books. But I don't think he had anything to do with the stories the rest of the way. Could be wrong about that, I haven't looked into it.

    I also have read most of his books, and while not movie wise , but book wise, the 2nd book Lost World was my favorite.
    Hell I believe they have made most of his books into movies, and none are the same, som have even different titles like the book Eaters of the Dead is the movie 13th Warrior.

    He's an amazing actor but hated his character in There Will Be Blood.

    I have seen 13th Warrior and I have Eaters of the Dead on my to be 'read' audiobook downloads. If they make a movie version of 'Micro', it will look like a combo of Honey I Shrunk The Kids and Jurassic Park.

    State of Fear is one that should be made into a movie but probably never will.

    Sphere was a very good movie.


    Timeline was a good read that probably should not have been made into a movie. Lol


    Dragon Teeth, Pirate Latitudes, and The Great Train Robbery were really good historical stories. Still fiction but set in historical fact and actual events.


    I just really enjoy Michael Crichton's style.
