The War Movies and Film Noir channels on Veetle.com are my constant companion when working on the computer,which is often 8 hours or more a day.

NOTE: Veetle uses P2P - some people have a problem with that.

Thanks for the tip.

“The Military Channel” has great old war movies in its series hosted by Lew Diamond Phillips called “An Officer and a Movie”.

Although there have ALWAYS been commies in Hollywood, the industry has suffered the most in the last few years. The invention of CGI has contributed greatly to this downfall. All of us remember the wonder of the ORIGINAL Star Wars, which was created on a shoe string with painstaking special effects, makeup, and costumes that were a triumph of the art.

Contrast that with the last three Star Wars, with their overdone CGI effects and characters, vapid plots, and Jar Jar Binks.

CGI makes it possible to advance the politically correct agenda without involving the human element provided by actors. It is also very cheap compared with shooting on location, constructing sets, rehearsing the roles, lavish costumes, and wonderfully fun and exciting effects. A REAL explosion is so much more fun than a CGI explosion, but then one has to clean up afterwards.

And when the character is a soulless CGI creation, we don’t have to experience a real emotional catharsis. The “Catharsis” has been a feature of drama since Ancient Greece, and it has been lost in one generation.

I NEVER go to “The Movies” anymore.
