Seems like a good day to watch Seven Days In May (1964).

You’ve not watched it? See the Fallout thread. ☺️
What happens in the show is imo more sinister than what is revealed in Fallout 4, but this would easily reside within the framework of the story as I know it.
I apologize, I butchered the sentence. I meant that what gives me some hope for the James Bond franchise managed by Amazon is that they did an amazing job with Fallout.

By the way, I have been playing FO3 and FO4 a lot lol

Ad victoriam!

Last night on our commercial-free cultural TV channel. Hard to believe I saw it upon release 49 years ago.
Certainly ahead of its time...

Sidenote on Bethesda, Fallout 4, and Starfield, game talk. For it’s time, Fallout 4 is a most wonderful exercise in escapism and the interactions with NPC‘s (non-player characters for anyone not familiar with the term) was good enough, it got me hooked on having a companion, or multiple NPC companions in an adventure where you play by yourself, but you feel like you have company. I love it when they confide in me their problems and ask for help. And as unrealistic as it is just by virtue of spending time with you, they grow to like and love you. In my opinion, this is superior to a co-op or online game where (human) tourists pollute the environment. 😉 In the solo game, you alone make the world what it is.

If you make it to Starfield, give a shout or read my rants about it in the Starfield thread (the Gaming form). Bethesda’s failure was producing a new game that still relied on a decade old conversation matrix from the F4 era, and today it comes across as so awkward, and a hindrance to immersion. “How’s it going?” Me: “Oh shut up!” 😊😉

Saw Captain America Brave New World with the family over the weekend. It was fun. It seems that MCU movies have lost their luster and place in mainstream popularity, but we all know that, as long as they make money, the studio will keep cranking them out for the die hard fans. I grew up collecting comics so I think the movies are entertaining. Now that special effects and technology can do comic book content well, the big screen is a viable medium for telling these stories.

This movie introduces adamantium into the MCU and fans know what that really means.

Same here, collected comics (too expensive now though) and worked in a comic shop in the mid-'80s (during the black & white anthropomorphic furry critter era); I fully recognize that some of the comic-related media out there is straight cheese whiz, but I still enjoy seeing it come to life on the big/small screen...!

Weapon X...! ;^p

They’re not. Marvel is losing lots of money, last year it was saved only by Deadpool.

Captain America currently stands at $141,000,000 gross revenue on a production budget of $180,000,000 and is losing steam already (second weekend saw a -69% decrease in revenue).

This movie will be a major financial loss.

I don't go to the movies anymore, too expensive; I can shift the money I would spend on a ticket & snacks three or four times a year, use it to cover the cost of my assorted streaming services for the year...

And I can pause the movie when I need to...! ;^p
