Can the AIDS virus be transmitted through the movie screen? If so, this movie is extremely hazardous to your health.

I can’t afford tv service. I don’t have a tablet, phone or watch for such things.

I’m just trying to figure out how to pay for all my prescriptions.

But thanks for your suggestions.

I’m on some of the top movie torrent sites in the world so I could watch any one of those movies any time I want in the comfort of my living room. I haven’t watched a single one of them. I just got the DVD screener for Ralph Wrecks the Internet yesterday to give to a neighbor’s grandchildren and I will probably get MI Fallout when I get around to it but moviewise 2018 was such a bad year I hardly watched any movies, even for free.

I prefer blogs.

Repent.

Blogs are from the devil.

I read that the storyline and Freddie Mercury’s character has been so bowdlerized from the reality that the movie is absolute fiction.

I did watch “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs”.
That’s was really good.

The Coen brothers can be counted on to produce quality films. I thought Buster went from whacko to bizarre to bleak and depressing. Stopped watching about half way through. I blame myself.

In a trailer for “Vice”, I think I heard it called a comedy. I thought that was odd.

Anyhow, I saw none of the movies on the list. Only saw one movie in 2018: “The Mule”.

I haven’t been to a movie theater in decades. Mudved can do it for me so I can ignore his opinions.

I no longer go to movies. My 70” for the most part brings it home. If we want atmosphere I’ll pop some jiffy pop.

Saw Jurassic World 2. It was OK.

Really liked SOLO. It did poorly because of the lemon the preceded it. But it’s worth a look. My only dislike wash the actor playing Solo was light. Chris Pratt from Jurassic, too me, would have been the new young Solo. He plays a scoundrel well.

Best movie, by far, this year was Gosnell. I wouldn’t put any of Medved’s list in the top ten. But then again, I’m not sure if there were even ten ‘good’ enough movies this year to make such a list.

Won't You Be My Neighbor is a documentary about the late Fred Rogers. It was actually a nice film and I enjoyed it a lot. A lot of adults have very fond memories of Mister Rogers and his "neighborhood".

Some of the prices are lower than copay.

Also, check with the manufacturer for discounts.

I was a reliable talk-radio listener for many years. Since Michael was a Seattle resident he got favorable billing on our local radio station (right after Rush). So I caught his show nearly every day.

I enjoyed how he would tie leftists up in their own BS. But he changed, and not for the better. The acerbic wit that was entertaining got redirected to true conservatives. And he got even worse and unlistenable after his stroke.

Does he still pretend to be conservative?

Clearly the screenwriter doesn't think Cheney is a decent man, but he was portrayed as a human being and not a cartoon villain.

As a conservative who was kinda down on Cheney towards the end there, I came away with a better of opinion of him after this fairly accurate portrayal. To me it made him seem pretty cool.

Yes, he proudly proclaims that he's a conservative and that Dwight Eisenhower, who in his view represents true conservatism, is his role model.

Ever heard of Sebastian Gorka?

Sure have. I met him in DC two months ago, and I just finished his book Why We Fight: Defeating America's Enemies--With No Apologies (Washington, DC: Regnery, 2018), of which I have a signed copy.

I haven't seen any of them. I commend Medved for keeping the artsy yet vapid stuff to a minimum, but if a Mission Impossible movie really was one the year's best, it must have been a very crummy year.

Nowadays I can watch a movie on my TV, tablet, phone or watch. Spoil yourself and join us in the 21st century.

I still use a flip phone. I will join the 21st century when it dies, but it's been going strong since 2010.
