August 6, 20214 yr We watched the movie twice on TCM; last week and once last month. I liked it very much. TCM said it was panned by the critics and a box office flop. With stars like Tom Hanks, Melanie Griffith, Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman in a story written by Thomas Wolfe how could it go wrong? It's a satire on society, the media, the court system, politics, and social justice gone awry. And seasoned with a bit of sex. I loved it. I loved it so much I jus bought the book which on Barnes and Noble has a 5.5 stars out of 6. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
August 7, 20214 yr It's a terrific book Noel. After you've read it you'll probably understand why the movie flopped. Great cast though.

August 11, 20214 yr I thought movie was very good. I also loved the western Heaven's Gate. I don't like many of the critics' choices: like all the Indiana Jones movies nor the Terminator. We know that giant bolder won't hit Indy and the terminator will likely overcome the next attempt to kill it. No drama when we usually know what will happen next. Boring. We don't know what will happen during all the little dramas inside Heaven's Gate and Bonfire. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
