Whatcha watching?

The Memphis Belle is one of my favorite planes at the Museum of the USAF. I work about five minutes from it.

They would have to tie me down if I was that close to the USAF Museum. I hung out at the Army Aviation Museum at the recently renamed Fort Novosel in South Alabama, and later in the USAF Armament Museum at Eglin in the Florida panhandle. By that time my day job was part of a team converting the billet prototype underwing rails we'd built for the AMRAM program to production rails machined from an extrusion, and occasionally night fishing for sharks with the retired pilots who were testing them by night. I'm always happiest when building shovels and rakes for aircraft. I make a lot of fun of geeks, but only because I know from experience just how much fun being one can be.

I loved the movie when I was a kid. I watched it recently; it holds up AND now I recognize a lot of the actors from other movies/shows/etc.

Speaking of WWII, my wife and I just watched The Catcher Was a Spy on Netflix. It was quite good.

I definitely dug it. Not at all what I expected and I found it satisfying, except for Navarro.
They did kinda leave her hanging, but I think that kinda brought her life full circle, she finally heard her true name and was transformed, but it was too ambiguous to know if she followed her sister and Danvers had come to embrace the spirit world embodied by Ennis, or she simply embraced her true nature and began living that life rather than trying to fit into the white man’s little box they invariably create for anyone not like them. I'd prefer she lived and answered the call of her blood, but that’s just me.

Griselda. I quite enjoyed Queen of the South till it ran out of plot. But the limited series means we get character development arriving at a fair old clip. Plus some of the supporting parts are very well written and acted.

Hope they put her to bed at the end. Another season would have to be all downhill.
 
The first one was my very favorite...Ang Lee...Hulk like the comics when I was a kid
Jennifer Connelly xxoo Sam Elliot and Eric Bana
Best movie

Edward Norton was good too...
But for the time..I Loved Hulk with Bana
I'll have to re-watch the two. Both were excellent in their own ways, but the Ang Lee one was a lot more "mysterious" and a bit out there, in a good way. In a lot of respects I find these earlier Marvel films more interesting (including the first Captain America movie) as they are more rooted in the "real world" so to speak, not as Sci-Fi as the rest of the series.

I know...every Marvel movie is now made in these over the top Sci Fi worlds with millions of aliens and weird wars on Mega scales
