Watching The Ten Commandments. An Easter tradition.

Zulu.1964 release.

Despite wave after wave of thousands of attacking Zulu warriors with each one being repelled a final Zulu assault came with the inevitable outcome, the small British garrison at Rorke's Drift in 1879 strangely had no Gatling guns despite them already being introduced.

Ford v Ferrari (2019)

Quite random choice, but so far entertaining... I'm just switching Ford for new BMW, I hope I won't start longing for Shelby Mustang

I think this was talked about on the TV Series thread. FTR, we enjoyed it, although it is a bit out there. Clearly left it open for season 2.

I'll check out that thread. I just get excited when there is a descent Sci fi released... as many really suck... Don't know if its due to low budgets or difficult subject matters. Anything over a "C".. I'll give this a B+, and it's a winner for me.

Funny you should ask. Here's the last 2 I recently watched...

https://youtu.be/sU_SQo1wbos?si=Y4UFducMSA4T1fQq

So the first I'd give a 2.5/5

The second a 3/5

Thanks for the warning. I don't even like the cat, and that's saying something for me.

tranquility · 04-15-2024, 01:31 PM

I actually saw one of those cat 'carriers', talk about animal cruelty. Poor feline.

Donatello. · 04-16-2024, 05:23 PM

Saw the new Godzilla movie yesterday and was disappointed in the end. Thought it was a bit anticlimactic with all the buildup.

flybigjet · 04-16-2024, 10:33 PM

Just got back from watching "Civil War".

Thought provoking, to say the least-- my buddy's and I enjoyed it.

Although, as an amateur photographer, I *really* wanted to scream at the apprentice photog, "Why.... why.... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHY are you shooting 35mm film in a war zone, where you have to roll film, develop it yourself, and carry the damn negatives around with you?"

Kid, take a look at what your mentor was shooting-- a full-frame Sony A7 with a 10 FRAME PER SECOND shooting rate, a god-sized buffer, Bluetooth, full-auto, shutter & aperture control, full manual control if you want it, Auto/Manual capability on the lens, and both lens AND body image stabilization.

Film may be nice AS A HOBBY, but not when people are shooting at you from all sides and you have to carry an entire photo lab + chemicals with you to take a look at anything you've shot. And then? You have to frelling MAIL IN your shots.

(Yes, I have strong opinions of that one little piece of artistic license.)

I grew us shooting 35mm and am very comfortable with it, I now have a Nikon D800 which I love. I get great results with it but it's still black magic to me where film just seems natural to me. I'd still choose DSLR though, at least you can see if you got the shot without having to wait for processing.
