So true, especially if you live in the city and the kids can walk wherever they want.

I guess I was thinking more about things like 9, 10, 11 etc. year olds being on tablets and phones, or on computer games and any other screen there is out there. We are on a farm outside a very small town, kids go to the little private Christian school, friends are from there and from church, and most of these young kids are sporting those watches from Apple that are also phones/computers on their wrists! I find it very disturbing, and it makes the kids who don’t have them look like hillbillies.

We refuse to give in (these are my grandkids) and hope others wise up to what they’re doing to their kids.

I’m more of a Mr. Moto fan, but Mr. Chan is good, too. I think they only gave Peter Lorre round glasses and voilà, he was Japanese. Poor Warner Oland (and the other Chans) had to go through much more in the makeup department.

I didn’t know Chan was based on a real Hawaiian police detective, Chang Apana. They should make a movie about him. Not everyone survives being stabbed six times, thrown out of a second-story window by drug addicts or run over by a horse and buggy, and still catching the bad guys. He and his bullwhip must’ve been pretty impressive in order to arrest 40 gamblers in a raid and march them to the police station all without backup.

Yes, I saw that too. It was a long time ago (so details are a bit fuzzy), but I remember it was very good.

Of all movies to have nudity, this one seems like a strange one to include it in. Guess I’ll find out when I see it.

I was at the megaplex.
#1 big story, Raiders of the Lost arch Sequel 23 and Mission Impossible Sequel 29 are losers. Their only seats sold are those who came to the theater and the other 3 were sold out.
Hundreds waiting in the lobby for the next showing of the top 3.
y.
#2 big story. Oppenheimer and Freedom are the same story. The establishment/swamp finds certain truths and truth tellers inconvenient and tries to discredit them and shut them up.

#3. At 1:05 showing of Barbie not a person under 16 in sight. Overwhelmingly Barbie watchers were middle aged white women.... Women in their 40s and 50s having their picture taken in the middle of a pink balloon display. These middle aged white women dragged along their daughter or man. It was obvious they were being dragged to the movie.

Plus it’s 115 degrees this weekend. Everybody is going to the movies and they better have that AC cranked to 11.

And don’t forget Cabbage Patch Dolls.

I was teaching economics courses at Minnesota State University, Moorhead for the academic year 1988-1989.
Cabbage Dolls were not available anywhere in the Fargo/Moorhead area, so mothers were driving five hours to the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN to purchase the doll.
If the young girl did not have the doll she would have been an outcast in her peer group.

Totally agree. I’m puzzled by all the chatter and excitement over this.

The estimated budget for Barbie is $145 million, in addition to an estimated $100 million spent on marketing.

Let’s see how steep its drop is after opening weekend.

I’m seeing Oppenheimer next Tuesday and will buy the 4K disc when it comes out. I will buy Sounds of Freedom on DVD.

The 2nd week will determine if it will make money.

On friday, on a KFI 640 radio morning show, the woman host said to a film reviewer that after seeing the Barbie movie that she needed to see Oppenheimer for some atomic warfare as Barbie was awful.

#71 Always thought Barbara Eden should have been Barbie back in the day.

Yes, she was anatomically correct...

...so were there any fat or homely chicks hanging around Barbie, to latch onto whatever guys Barbie cast aside? You know...just like in real life?

These are the people who are ruining the country.
