Watches Earth films too!
On day 2 of driving back to my original home state in the South from the West Coast.
Since going fast down the Interstate creates a loud constant hum, I can barely hear Locals and Rumble streams on my phone, so I have to put on the radio.
I put it on many random stations, some played old jazz tunes from the 30s and 40s, classic rock, modern country pop, and just 80s. It's so weird bc I can only hear a song or two, and then radio fills with too much static. (Maybe my radio is a bit defective or solar flares again, who knows)
I put it on NPR for a little bit, and it had a democrat and republican covering politics. Their tone topics sounds so condescending and also very worried about candidates like Trump and RFK Jr because "both parties have their nomination process too open to the people", making it where just anyone can become the party candidate. Before this, they did identify that politic has turned into populism vs institutionalism. But it was more their tone and inability to convey how people are feeling which was off-putting to me. (I doubt either one talks to any regular joe outside DC)
Thankfully, the static kicked.
One other weird thing: I was driving through Oregon (full of evergreen trees almost everywhere) and as I drove across the border, I swear everything turned brown immediately. Even a tumbleweed came out of nowhere so my truck could ride over it, just to reinforce the dry feel of California.
I did not see another tumbleweed until I got to the Mahove Desert today. I did find the California drive very interesting and enjoyable. A lot of farmland (I love farms 🚜) and appreciate it. It's truly a shame that the city liberals of Los Angeles and San Francisco have enough representation to ruin the state for everyone else. I'm not sure if it's the case in California, but it is for Oregon. Portland and college town Eugene are pretty much the only places I found and talked to lefties. You go out of these cities (even Eugene's neighboring Springfield with only I5 separating them) you see Trump signs everywhere. Unfortunately, Oregon elected a dem governor again last year, so I don't see a good future for the state anytime soon. And I don't want to get stuck there again for whatever globalist plan gets executed.
Remember: Critical thinking is key! Always question everything, and keep emotions in check.
Hope everyone is having a Thanksgiving weekend!

Howdy all!
Just wanted to share my thoughts on Dune 2. To give a brief background: I have never read the books and had seen only the David Lynch movie cut and the Alan Smithee cut that someone posted on YouTube (a longer cut using unused footage upgraded as best as the fans behind it could piece it together than many fans of the 1984 herald as the much better version). Alan Smithee is a pseudonym that directors use when they do not want to be associated with a project, and David Lynch had such a terrible experience making the 1984 film, he wants have nothing to do with any other cuts of the film and move away from it, despite it still having his name as director in the original cut.
I truly enjoyed the Dune movie made by Canadian director Denis Villeneuve which came out in 2021. I thought the acting was solid, visually stunning, and a great world full of intriguing politics almost similar to what Game of Thrones had introduced along with interesting ideas how that world operated. Comparing it ...
As every man (and doge) has to do in their lifetime, I watched the John Wick movie series recently. I had never seen any of the movies before somehow, and just watched them since the first 3 were available on Netflix recently.
CHAPTER 1:
This was a great start to the series, and kept to mostly realistic elements compared to the other movies. It's a great tale of vengeance and demonstrates how John Wick (Keanu Reeves) uses anger and pain to his advantage. I enjoyed each character introduced, and glad to see Ian McShane in the series. After watching the Deadwood series on HBO, I can never get enough Ian McShane on screen, no matter what role he's in. The movie ends on a good note where Wick has to decide if he wants to try to live or not.
CHAPTER 2
If the first movie was good, this one was great. The stakes get higher as Wick travels to Rome to fulfill a marker (some blood bond between two people that the other person must fulfill for the marker to be completed) and explains the workings of how the network ...
Howdy to all you doges and dogs out there!
Just went to see Godzilla Minus One after hearing many people I follow said they enjoyed it. And I must say, it STILL exceeded my expectations! In short, it was phenomenal!
I am not familiar with the recent Godzilla movies (whether made in Japan or America), but this was coming from Japan's Toho movie company who own the rights to Godzilla and distribute the movies within Japan.
The movie is set in 1940s post World War II Japan, and shows the devastation of the war without dwelling too much on the particulars, just enough to get a taste of the disillusionment and confusion after the war. Godzilla seems to have been awakened during WWII. Thankefully, the movie doesn't necessarily define exactly how Godzilla came about, but cleverly implies how he grows in strength to become a threat to Japan.
Unlike the old movies where, to this doge, the best part of the movies is the fellow in rubber suit Godzilla destroying miniature sets, perhaps to hilarity but always a joy to ...
