Quote from: Alex on March 05, 2026, 03:13:18 PMWell, about this time last year, immigration to the UK from the US hit its highest level since records began. I know Canada is also seeing record numbers (apparently, especially nurses) and overall achieving a negative net migration (the last time this happened in the US was during the Great Depression, when around 100,000 people moved from the US to the USSR in search of jobs). I'd imagine that must be opening up a fair few job openings.
And Alberta wants out...........

Plus all those dishwasher and hotel maid jobs all the now-deported immigrants used to do.

Quote from: Alex on March 04, 2026, 05:50:22 AMHeard an interview with trump saying he wanted to deport the jobless. I guess that is where ICE will be turning its attention to next.

From looking at the stats, it seems an odd choice as that is also a good chunk of his voter base.
Seeing the news....maybe not (I hope)

I was just conscious enough in 1980 or thereabouts to see the prime-time network premiere of CONCORDE: AIRPORT '79... it was three full hours w/ commercials (or maybe even 3.5) and although I was very excited to see it based on the promos... man, it was way past my bedtime when the action finally started. I remember 8-10 PM was all exposition and character development, and then I just blacked out.  :bluesad:

On technical side, 4k-picture and 5.1-sound is just incredible.

Movie itself is slow and boring where people talk about airport-stuff. It takes almost two hours to get to the action.

Positive side, you get the urge to watch Die Hard 2.

yeah it's a slog, that first one... I have a box set with all 4 of those AIRPORT movies for my sins and they do get steadily more entertaining (vaguely) through the sequels

Quote from: retrorussell on February 18, 2024, 04:16:28 AMOASIS OF THE ZOMBIES (1982)
Really dumb zombie flick from sleazemeister Jesus/Jess Franco.  Zombified Nazi soldiers from WWII protect a cache of gold they buried in the African desert, munching on trespassers.  The blurb NO ONE UNDER 17 ADMITTED is applied to the US poster.


If I don't feel your entry meets the criteria, don't be bummed!  Try, try again!

I guess OASIS meets the criteria of the title (per the blurb on the poster) - but most of these other films contain some questionable or objectionable content. I don't think OASIS contains graphic violence or nudity/sex in any version. It's among Franco's tamest....... either due to that or coincidentally, it's also the only Franco film (to my knowledge) that Franco tried to deny ownership of!
