Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Jim H - May 24, 2026, 11:07:26 PMTornado - A sort of samurai revenge film but in 1790 Scotland. From the director of Slow West. Have to say, I liked Slow West a lot better than this one. Some beautiful cinematography, but most of this just feels empty. Like literally, long still shots of nothing much, and not in an intriguing way. I wasn't exactly bored, but not enthralled. It also does this trope I've never quite understood, where characters just walk out to confront someone then do literally nothing but stand there for a minute and get shot. Weird stylistic editing that doesn't work for me either.

Last post by indianasmith - May 24, 2026, 10:46:10 PMIf you saw the story about Tylosaurus rex in the news this week, one of the specimens used to define this new species was discovered and dug up by me and my friend Jim 25 years ago. You can hear the story and see the bones in my latest YouTube video!

Last post by FatFreddysCat - May 24, 2026, 08:42:18 PM"Agent 008: Operation Exterminate" (1965)
An entertainingly silly Italian-made James Bond knock-off, with a British spy (Alberto Lupo) sent to Cairo to team up with a lovely American agent (Ingrid Schoeller) and keep some "anti-radar technology" out of enemy hands. So basically it's 90 minutes of poorly dubbed gibberish full of car chases, fistfights, and exotic Egyptian scenery. Not the worst "Eurospy" film I've seen, but there are better ones out there. Directed by Umberto Lenzi, later of "Cannibal Ferox" and "Nightmare City" fame.
"Rock & Rule" (1983)
In a post-apocalyptic world, an aging rock star kidnaps a young singer whose voice will break down the barriers to another dimension and grant him ultimate power ... or something like that.
This dreary "adult" animated musical sci-fi adventure ala "Heavy Metal," makes almost zero sense -- the plot is a confused muddle. There's some cool music by Cheap Trick, Lou Reed, and Debbie Harry, but none of it is enough to save this mess.
AVOID.

The Sisterhood(1988)
https://youtu.be/OOjwAlzJDDI?si=fO9VBwIcjmPTRyKj
Long after World War 3, military technology and women's lib have been set back a few hundred years....
A pair of scantily clad women on horseback run into some raiders.... The pair kick the men's butts, but one gets pinned down, so she shoots lasers out of her eyes to start a rock slide... Afterwards, the other one reveals psychic healing power....
Meanwhile, in a nearby village, a young woman tries to warn everyone about a coming raider attack that her pet falcon told her about....
The raiders are sent to the village, this time with cars & guns, to collect some parts for his tank.... The girl escapes, but her brother dies...
The girl, the raiders & the psychic warrior girls end up at the same inn, where the psychics rescue the girl & cause the raiders to start a fight amongst each other.... But, the next day, the raiders kidnap one of the psychics, so the other two hafta get her back....
After running from some predictable mutants, the pair find a fallout shelter with some guns & a tank....
Predictably preachy & exploitive, but doesn't spend too much time dwelling on either....
Fun little sword & sorcery post apocalyptic action movie....

Last post by lester1/2jr - May 24, 2026, 04:47:48 PMI'm watching Humans, a British tv series that has a couple of seasons. Pretty standard sci fi plot about how our reliance on technology has led us to be slaves to it or whatever, but it's apropos because of AI and whatnot. The women playing the robots are attractive and the human sexuality aspect, how both the men and women end up wanting to have sex with their robots, is addressed with humor.

Last post by Alex - May 24, 2026, 04:04:43 PMKept Ash off school on Friday and took him down to Ayrshire to see his gran for a couple of days. The trains were overly hot in both directions, but he had a fun time. Once my mum is gone, I doubt I'll ever visit that part of the country again. I simply have no reason outside of that family to go anywhere near it. We went into Saltcoats, took Ash to a small funfair which he and my sister Elizabeth both loved. We went for a meal in what is desperately trying to be a more upmarket eatery, but suffers from the fact that the staff are locals and even when you put them in a suit and get them to speak politely you can still tell that they grew up in a very rough area. Our waiter would not have looked out of place mugging someone on a dark night with a knife, but he was very polite and I did tip him (because they are paid at the least, a living wage tipping is different in the UK to the US. I was pretty shocked when I was told many serving staff are unpaid, making their living soley from tips. Sounds like volunteer slavery to me, but whatever).
Elizabeth and my mum spoiled Ash, and bought me a tee shirt that had Pennywise and Chucky on it. I don't overly care for either character, but she was excited about it, so I let her get it for me and wore it. Ash mostly got trains out of it. He did decide that he wanted to buy a tee shirt for his mum, and when I asked which one he thought she'd like grabbed a Freddy Krueger one which did make me chuckle. Pretty sure Kristi has never watched a single one of those movies.
Its a Bank Holiday tomorrow, so we are playing a large game of Bolt Action. I am going to give my Italians a runout, alongside another Italian player against a combined British and US force.
Platoon 1: Rifle Platoon.
Normally I prefer having more infantry in my army than this, but I have so many untried "toys" in my collections to test out.
1* Veteran Officer + 4 men, all equiped with SMGs.
Short range high volume firepower. Italians don't get a lot of SMGs to play with and this is one of the few ways I can get a unit of them. Since they are my only short-range unit, they will more be for intercepting enemy attackers than launching thrusts into enemy territory on their own.
2* 11-man Bersagliari units with 2 LMGs. My fire base. I'll have to advance them on foot up the table to take any objectives, but my hope is that my opponents are more concerned with my plethora of armoured vehicles than my infantry. During the war, Bersagliari were elite light infantry.
1* 11-man squad of Blackshirts. Untrained militia who might become fanatical, or might panic and flee the first time they are shot at. More brought along for s**ts n giggles than really expecting them to achieve anything.
1* Regular Medic.
Had a few points to spend, so thought what the hell.
1* Veteran Solothurn Anti-tank rifle.
A rapid-firing anti-tank rifle that I am more thinking about using on enemy veteran troops to kill them easier.
Platoon 2. Armoured Platoon.
A full-strength armoured platoon of vehicles, although with Italians this is less impressive than it would be with almost any other nation (with the exception of Japan who has even worse tanks).
1* Regular M15/42 Medium tank.
With poor armour and a light anti-tank gun this is actually the command vehicle of my section, possibly because only light vehicles will consider it a threat. If anyone gets a side (or gods forbid, a rear shot), they are going to go through it like the proverbial hot knife through butter).
2* Regular Lanciaflamme tankettes.
Even lighter than my M15/42 (these things would be seriously intimidated by a Sherman), but each carrying a flamethrower and I do love my flamethrowers in BA.
1* Regular Lancia Armoured Car.
Light tank with rapid firing machine guns. Light rapid fire is a feature of this army list.
1* Autoblinda Armoured Car.
A light autocannon on this one for even more suppressive firepower.
Platoon 3. Heavy Weapons Platoon.
1* Regular Officer.
Because every platoon needs one and I didn't have the spare points to turn him into another SMG squad.
1* Regular Medium Mortar.
For the pounding of enemy entrenched positions to encourage them to move.
1* Veteran MMG.
Because I like my MMGs and it is more light, but rapid firing firepower.
1* Veteran Solothurn Anti-tank rifle.
Because 2 Solothurns are better than 1 and I really want something that can chew up tough elite infantry.
1* Veteran Light Automatic Cannon.
Also good for chewing up tough, elite infantry and shooting down enemy aircraft.
I have no big guns to deal with any late war tanks, although my flamethrowers are always in with a shot of panicking a vehicle crew, causing them to abandon it. My army would actually fare best against a mainly infantry force, or another army made up of lots of lighter vehicles similiar to what I've taken. I am expecting to lose a tank a turn, but I have so many that it will take most of the game to get rid of them all.
