    I saw "West Side Story" in a theater last Saturday. Great cast, great songs, great choreography. It really didn't deviate significantly from the original. Worth the time and ticket.

    One of my...

    Loved it! I quickly learned to turn on the subtitles, since the accents were so heavy.

    Not every day you see a "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" reference.

    RZZZZZ!

    Watched "The Lighthouse" on Amazon Prime last night. It seemed like director Robert Eggers was trying to copy Lars von Trier. He succeeded pretty well. It was boring, confusing, and strangely...

    Dune sucked. At least it sucked for and hour or so and then I gave up. I'd wager it didn't get better. Boring, tedious, slower than a sloth.

    I've got one. It works fine. I did have to grind a couple spots to provide clearance for the thumbscrews on my old Armalite mount. That took about thirty seconds with a Dremel and does not unsuit the...

    I saw this Saturday, with my son who thinks that Ridley Scott is a genius. I hadn't even seen a trailer on this film, so I went in with no expectations. I did hope it would be similar to Scott's "The...

    If they do another movie or two, it might be a good prequel to the series. I just didn't see much to warp Tony into a ruthless criminal.

    Watched "The Hero" on Hulu. Great movie. No action at all.

    Sam Elliott plays an elderly movie/TV star who is facing his own mortality. He wrestles with his past regrets and the realization that...

    Watched "The Many Saints of Newark". This was supposed to be a prequel to "The Sopranos" and tell the story of how Tony became Tony.

    I kept waiting for something to happen along those lines. It...

    Watched Clint Eastwood's "Cry Macho" on HBOMax last night.


    It was okay, but the story was predictable. Nothing notable here.

    Great role for a great actor.

    Great role for a great actor.

    Watched the series "Small Town News: KPVM Pahrump" on HBOPlus. It's about a tiny TV station in Pahrump, NV. Very funny. I hope they get another season.

    It reminded me of "Dog Bites Man" which was...

    I tried to like "Doom Patrol" mainly because I liked the comic as a kid. The show didn't hold my interest.

    I always liked the comic "Magnus, Robot Fighter". It wasn't DC or Marvel. It was a Gold...

    Watched "Let Him Go" on HBOMax. I never thought much of Kevin Cosner's acting ability. However he seemed to find his niche playing old western guys. So I figured it would be worth the watch. It...

    How many golf clubs does one "need"? How about pairs of shoes (don't ask my wife)?


    In a long life of shooting, I have never encountered anyone for whom guns are a fetish. I have met collectors,...

    Watched the first two episodes of "Reservation Dogs" on Hulu. The series is starting off strong. Lots of dark humor and sight gags.

    That would be "Point Blank". Lee Marvin, Angie Dickenson (at, perhaps, the pinnacle of her hotness), and an N-Frame S&W!!!!!

    To each his own, I suppose.

    I have a friend who puts a weaponlight and extended magazine on his carry pistol at bedtime and takes this stuff off upon arising. After checking out of our motel and getting a couple hundred miles...

    Watched "Payback" on some streaming service. I figured it would be a remake of the Mel Gibson movie, which is a fine film (especially the director's cut). It wasn't. It sucked. Russian mob movie that...

    I agree that this is a superb movie. Among Reynolds' top roles.

    My former next door neighbor is among the fans at the Q&A in this film. He's the guy with the too-small cowboy hat.

    The pits would drive me nuts every time I looked at it.

    I heard that Fink is now running the 'smithy at Gunsite.

    Watched "Freaky" on HBOPlus last night.

    A serial killer and a high school girl get their minds switched into one another's bodies. It has some good gags in it.

    My friend Rick Miller has a .41AE kit for a P-35. The importer (Action Arms, I think) sent it to him for a T&E and told him just to keep it.

    The P-35's ejector had to be shortened about 1/8". It...

    That phone looks like the one that belonged to mmc45414 on the day "the furnace broke". I'm not going to tell the stupid story here, but it involved Hackathorn, SMG's, and big yellow gloves.
