The Falcon and the Snowman was much better. Based on a true story. Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton. David Bowie singing the theme song “This is not America”.

I came here to post the same thing. A much better movie, despite having Sean Penn in it. The follow-up book, "Flight of the Falcon" about the manhunt for Christopher Boyce after his escape, is also interesting. The author Robert Lindsey helped Ronald Reagan with his autobiography.

All the turnout was at the cop scene where it clearly shows they were ready to pull their guns on a black guy who was arguing with a white guy. It’s clear that this was the message. So, in other words, Disney felt like sticking a Black Lives Matter message smack dab in the middle of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 2, and what do you know, apparently fans who are sick to death of bad news and tragic headlines decided they had had enough and turned off the episode...

People are sick of PC lies, misinformation and propaganda aimed at our kids... We're sick of our 'elites' acting like vile white trash... Disney can go to hell...oh and have a snit and move yours programs out of Georgia...

Red Letter Media has a series of "Mister Plinkett" reviews of the Star Wars movies that are comedy gold but also make very sound points about the fundamental story telling problems in the movies. These reviews are over an hour long typically. He also weighed in on the Star Trek Next Generation movies in a similar way.

OverlordDVD is a a guy who pretends to be a masked super villain ("Doomock") who is planning to conquer the world but in the meantime rages about the state of pop culture TV and Movies, specifically Star Trek, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, that sort of thing.

Same reason we stopped watching “The Rookie”. Albeit not Shakespeare, it was enjoyable enough until this season & the BLM introduction. Immediately off & never will be on our TV again as is the opinion of several other viewers who posted online why they quit watching.

Star Trek: Discovery which is also called STD must have people stop watching it from the beginning as their ratings have always been very bad. Either dead last or maybe 2nd to last in the ratings.

#25 Critical Drinker aka William Jordan has been banned from youtube. 740,000 subscribers and google banned him for other reasons as he comments about other things and is not PC. Most of his videos have been removed now.

Search: The Critical Drinker is a Scottish drunkard with a crude attitude, a penchant for black comedy, speaks in biting sarcasm and snark, and frequently uses running gags and catchphrases. His snide demeanor is juxtaposed by his intelligent critique of the art of filmmaking and storytelling, which was intended to be a neat contrast.

Most recently they depicted Red Skull as a Jordan Peterson parody. They had Captain America mock and criticize the advice to young men to straighten up their lives and get out of chaos. The current writer for Captain America is an openly anti-white SJW, son of a Black Panther (not the comic book kind either).

The Critical Drinker and has videos are still up on YouTube. You scared me for a moment. His vulgar mouthed, biting critiques of pop culture is a guilty pleasure of mine. I watch his videos with headphones on so the wife and kids don’t hear him say “F@$% OFF FILM!” 20 times in 10 minutes.

I understand he is also a successful fiction writer in his own right writing the Ryan Drake book series.

Try the bombardment of black social promotions on Pandora. I don’t. Pandora is now turned off too. What a shame, I really don’t mind the ads, they remind me of the old radio days but with good music. I don’t need or want the constant bombardment of black bleeding heart whining and promotion of their rights. They got their rights and they have wasted them. My little amount of give a damn for them and anyone else who won’t help themselves and at least have a little dignity is just busted.

It’s fascinating how none of us like Sean Penn but we acknowledge his contribution in this movie.
