Last night ::
I enjoyed it; it went smooth with an interesting piece of art history during the 2nd World War.

Now that the gloves are off and Hamilton and Rosberg are pretty pissed off with each other after Monaco, things are looking very promising for an epic intra-team battle in Montreal next.

Montreal loves their Formula One Grand Prix races. ...So is Monaco, Great Britain, USA, ...
Martin, did you see the film 'Rush'? ...And also the documentary 'Super Speedway'? ...And the flick 'Grand Prix'?

Things are getting back to normal here, I rally missed talking to you guys. I did plan to see Das Boot, but it was too long. So I settled with Run Silent, Run deep and had an interesting, but mild surprise. I have often compared Star Trek, especially Star Trek II, to a submarine movie. Well, RSRD's director was Robert Wise, who directed ST, The motion picture. Well at the beginning of BOTH movies, the first in command is put into a lessor position when the former commander comes back to the ship. it is handled very much the same in both movies. Fascinating to watch, wise did MUCH better in the first film, of course.

Hi Bob
Yes I've seen Rush and Senna, as well as Grand Prix, all outstanding films. Thanks for the recommendation on Super Speedway, I'll have a look in local Amazon to see if it's available in region B, otherwise I'll buy a region A copy the next time I'm in the US.

* And yes Martin; 'Super Speedway - The Mach II Special Edition' on Blu-ray (Region Free playback disc) is a Must Have for people like you and I. ...And for everyone else too. It is one of my Reference Blu-ray discs in my collection. ...Picture, Sound, and Story wise.

If you have a decent surround sound system (with a sub or two), strap yourself real good with your couch's seatbelt! ...You're in the driver's seat.
And if your HDTV is of decent quality as well, you'll be blown away by the picture quality. ...Full widescreen IMAX size.
Overall, you're going to luv it! The experience is exhilarating. I guaranty it.

It is ironic and truly sad; while still watching 'D-Day | Code Name: Overlord', I cannot stop thinking to them all soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country (the biggest honor of them all), and see how our governments (both Canadian and American and others) are treating our veterans.
...Some to the point of dishonoring them by fudging the numbers in order to get their financial bonuses!
Simply put (the truth) they kill them for money; by delaying their health needs, by cutting access to their moral and physical support. ...The very same people who sacrificed their lives to free them.
Now, you tell me if it ain't a disgrace or not.

Bob, I try not to get into politics, but I must post and agree with so much. In the US this was going on since the Bush administration. They sent our troops to Afghanistan and Iraq and yet failed to enlarge the services that they would need when our troops came home. Further, Bush knew it and wrote a letter to Obama, since published in 2009, about the mess.
Did you know it is even worse than reported? The Medical part of the Military was given BILLIONS of dollars from both parties to improve their record keeping and were the Veterans Affair medical groups. Only they used totally different and incompatible systems (like PCs talking to Macs) to neither could transfer information to each other about patients needs and treatment. While they will in the US try to blame each other, there is enough blame to go around and these brave young men and woman, who have given so much, need our help NOW! And so do their families. This is beyond a disgrace, this is a crime against our own countries. And yes, Obama should have known.

It's not politics, it's a social problem, a lack of real values in our societies. ...Simple as that Barry; money always takes priority over integrity.
I know that the VA system in the US has been (and still is) a major 'crack' for many many years. But in my own country we are no better; vets are killing themselves more and more because they don't have the health support that they need. And our government is cutting the budget in that department; to save money and invest it instead in the "sables bitumineux" in Alberta. ...Not killing only the vets but also the entire country; Canada!
I watch movies and documentaries all the time; every single day. ...Eventually something has to come up from it; that strikes some deep chords inside me.
This a human thing, a human problem, right at its source.
You can have any job in the world, but when it comes time to fight for your country this is the biggest job of them all; sacrificing your own life for others so that they can live a better life, happy and free. So here you go.
Films/Documentaries do that to us; they wake up us and let us see the true reality as it really is.
I'm glad you replied here because I lost interest, everywhere.
* D-Day commemorative anniversary is coming up, in five days...there is nothing more powerful than seeing our brothers and sisters dying for us. ...War is a terrible thing, and with it the 'price' is much higher that we can ever imagine. ...All the money in the world put together just doesn't even approach the moral/spiritual/human impact; the destruction, the decline of humanity.
