Reed Hastings is taking note as to what works and what doesn’t.

86 degrees out, hazy, a bit breezy, but almost as perfect as it can be.

Actually, my favorite Tom Cruise movie is “Edge of Tomorrow’

Funny, with some pretty scary aliens.

Chinese company Tencent had promised a investment of $170 million to the Top Gun movie but withdrew when the communist party wanted all Chinese companies to pledge allegiance to the communist party. The flags were then put back on the jacket.

I saw a review by a FReeper yesterday and he said he liked it, but his description sounded pretty woke with overly “diverse” cast and a mean-spirited female Hispanic and a dufus white guy. True? Otherwise, I’d like to see it.

But apparently, there’s no overt anti-Americanism in it. True?

My wife and I went to see Downton Abbey, which was pretty good. Surprised they got so many of the series regulars into the movie.

‘Rather than apologize for being an 80’s “relic,” it embraced what everyone loved in 1986 and still loves today.’

President Reagan was our President from 1981 to 1989.

He kicked the worthless/America hating Carter’s butt in the election and other dems in his political life.

President Reagan brought pride back in being an American back to our citizens.

President Reagan was not a racist nor a sexist, he was a proud American. That pride spilt over to many of us under President Reagan.

Besides working in good jobs, many of us got involved in volunteering with non profits, churches and good local organizations.

We maximized our 401 k’s which then enabled many of us to retire early and not depend on relatives to care for us.

I had finished my Navy active reserve time in the late 1960’s not wearing our uniform because of the hatred from Nam and the haters of America. We were told/ordered not to wear our uniforms to reserve meetings and our yearly 2 weeks of active duty.

During that time period with President Reagan, many of us woke up and realized how evil the democrats had become and anti American most of them were. By the end of that decade, I had no room in my life for hate filled democrats.

There were jobs everywhere for the good workers, who were trained and wanting to work.

LBJ’s Affirmative Action was held down, and now it has merged with the Woke Pyschos to make life miserable for many of us 24/7.

Under President Reagan, we could wear our military hats and put go Navy/Marines, USAF or go Army stickers on our pickups and sedans. Men and women Nam vets started wearing their military hats and jackets. They got thank yous instead of being spit on.

Thugs like Muammar Gaddafi learned not to pick/threaten our people in other parts of the world.

People in America, who wanted good jobs and had the skills were in demand.

Compare the Reagan Days to what we live in the Brandon Days, and it is easy to see how this movie is doing so well.

Saw it today.

Concur with the assessment above.

Pleased that the Japan and Taiwan flags were right where they belonged on his jacket.

Kudos to Val Kilmer for his efforts. Kinda wish Meg Ryan could have been there, but the story was advanced by her character’s absence.

(Anyone who knows... is Penny in Charlie’s house? It looks familiar.)

It’s one of the last, if not THE last drive-in in SW Missouri. It has a playground under the screen, a few BBQ grills, and you can bring your own grill if you want. 8 bucks a head, kids under 6 get in free.

Yeah. I figured that was the reason.

And Tencent dropped out I think because the ChiComs wouldn’t allow it to be shown even if the flags were removed because it glorifies the U.S. Military.

I thought Cruise was masculine in the movie.

We enjoyed it very much.

There is some female named Penny acting masculine, and this movie is not woke? Does she punch a few men around also?

Yes, all of the females in almost any movie are more masculine than you - so stay home and stick to your needlepoint and buttermilk.

"I do have a favorite Tom Cruise movie though; “The Last Samurai”. I like it because Ken Watanabi steals the movie from him."

Did anyone notice/realize that the tallest person in the movie was a Japanese guy.

If you're wondering why, read here:

The Samurai And The Ainu

BTW, On a nation to nation basis, The Dutch are the tallest people in the world and the Japanese are the shortest.
