Dr. MID-Nite got a reaction from Cygnia in Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)
And now the Supreme Court is going to hear Trump's "presidential immunity" appeal. Doing so gives it legitimacy. They should have shut that @#$% down immediately. I apologize for the frustration in my posts, but I get sick and tired of stupidity and ignorance seemingly always winning....

Reagan wasn't just one of the most overrated presidents....his term in office was objectively bad for the country. Sigh....

McD workers in Denmark get paid far more than here and the cost of the menu items isn't significantly higher than here. But then...they actually regulate their corporations there. They raise prices here because they can...not because they have to.

How dare anyone value dignity of life over....property values. And I'm sure those living in the concentration camps will have an absolutely amazing quality of life. I swear I am so done with this nation's BS.

"My Lord, the ship appears to be deserted."
"How can that be? They're hiding."
"Yes sir. But the bridge seems to be run by computer. It is the only thing speaking."
"Speaking? Let me hear."
"Nine ... eight ... seven ... six ... five ... "
"GET OUT! GET OUT OF THERE! GET OUT!"
"... one ..."

Godzilla Minus One. This movie is entirely in Japanese, with subtitles. It's also really good--Skull Island good. As most movies do, it fails a bit when it comes to the physics. But that's not the point of the movie at all.

All I know is all of this is scary in the extreme and we seem to be just letting it happen...

It's not just Trump that needs to be beat now. It's the entire hysterical right wing segment of the population.

Dr. MID-Nite got a reaction from Old Man in Coronavirus
Better half and I both ended up with covid over new year's. The first day we were bed ridden, but it got less severe the next few days. Mostly like a bad cold now. We're vaxxed to high heaven for the record.

The Maine Secretary of State rules that Trump does not qualify for the Presidential ballot, due to his role in the Jan. 6th events. Turns out, it's how the Maine law works...it first has to go through the SoS's office, as the chief election officer for the state.
This entire election is shaping up to be ugly, in ways that transcend the normal electoral politics. The entire structure of the election is going to be called into question, if Trump doesn't win...he'll assert the whole process was poisoned, if he's not on all the ballots. And in any state if he's excluded? Oh man...nightmare. Alternate selection of electors, election challenges, potentially CONSTANT objection to seating delegates when the time comes to certify the delegates. Absolute chaos.

Dr. MID-Nite got a reaction from Ternaugh in Marvel Cinematic Universe, Phase Three and BEYOOOOONND
There's been peaks and valleys in every "phase" of the MCU. I don't think they handled Thanos well at all for example. On the other hand, I enjoyed Wandavision quite a bit. I just kind of go with the flow when it comes to these movies. I will say the MCU...on average....is still far better than what DC is putting out.

Dr. MID-Nite reacted to death tribble in What Have You Watched Recently?
And there is more
Homicidal
This is a William Castle gimmick movie. If you could not bear to face the end of the film you could leave and go into a cowards corner. A young woman asks a local bellhop to marry her at a local Justice of the Peace. She ends up killing said JP and then fleeing. The woman is looking after a nurse who is now an invalid. This is at the behest of a young man who will inherit a fortune in a couple of days time. His sister will not inherit a penny. But the homicidal young woman used the sister's name to get married. It is not a bad film.
Fear No More
A young woman is travelling to do an errand for her employer when she stumbles across a dead body on a train and the killer robs her of an envelope. The police think she is the killer and try to arrest her but she escapes. She runs into a man on the road who tries to help her but is she telling the truth ? As she was in an insane asylum, maybe she is not. It makes sense when you find out what is going on.
Bulldog Drummond's Peril
John Howard plays the retired Captain Drummond who is due to marry his fiance when one of their presents a synthetic diamond is stolen. But the Swiss policeman guarding their presents has been murdered so Bulldog sets off in pursuit. A diamond dealer and his associate are the culprits and they get another inventor to help them while Drummond knocks heads with John Barrymore's Colonel Nielson. This was Barrymore's final time playing the Colonel and he upstages everyone else effortlessly.
Bulldog Drummond in Africa
John Howard again plays Drummond and his plans to marry are again thwarted as Colonel Neilson is kidnapped and taken to Africa. The Captain and fiance plus sidekick and butler give chase as the fiance witnessed the kidnap. The chief goon to the bad guy is played by Anthony Quinn in one of his early roles.
The Saint season 4
This is the last of the black and white episodes and is the shortest of the four early seasons being only 9 episodes long. All sorts of different stories with Roger Moore going all over the world. And still having to contend with inspector Teale. Some of this is warm and familiar. But I have now seen them all.
Evil Brain from Outer Space
The Emerald Planet sends a champion to Earth to thwart the machinations of the evil brain of a being who was assassinated. He tries all sorts of things but Starman who is made of Steel and can thus bounce bullets is there to stop him. He fights mutants and the brain's minions. It is cheap but has a pulpy feel. Made originally in Japan and then formatted for the American market. It has a real charm.
The Atomic Rulers
Starman again here trying to stop nuclear war on earth as it will spread to the stars and poison other planets and life. Starman has to persuade children that he is a good guy and save one of their number when he is abducted. He also has to track down a nuclear device.. Again this has a real charm.
Battle Taxi
This is about a hotshot jet pilot who has been reassigned to helicopter air sea rescue duty in the Korean War. He pushes the envelope and thus his CO until his wounding in a pick up changes matters. Sterling Hayden plays the CO and Marshall Thompson is the pilot's co-pilot. It is not bad.
The Big Boodle
This is one of Errol Flynn's last films and is also a last glimpse of Cuba before the revolution succeeded. Flynn is a casino dealer who gets caught up in a counterfeiting plot. With both the police and the counterfeiters after him what can he do ? This was interesting as it showed a sanitised Cuba and worth a look.
Experiment in Terror
A woman bank teller is menaced and told to steal $100,000 from the bank where she works or she and her sister will suffer. She contacts the FBI and is attacked by the man but she continues to work with the FBI. Set in San Francisco this has Lee Remick as the teller, Stefanie Powers as the sister, Glenn Ford as the chief FBI agent and Ross Martin as the robber. The climax in a baseball ground is pretty good.
The Day the Earth Caught Fire
When America and Russia both explode nuclear bombs near the poles at exactly the same time bad things happen. Like climate change. The earth is set off its axis and could be heading towards the sun. The film follows the journalists as they uncover what is happening and then what ca be done about it. The film ends with the paper printing two alternate headlines one showing success and one failure. Edward Judd played the journalist at the centre of the story and Michael Caine has an uncredited role as a police officer. It is well worth seeing.

Just got back from Godzilla Minus One....my spoiler free review from FB....
Movie Review: Godzilla Minus One (2023); The latest Godzilla movie in the franchise is a period piece. Taking place on the tail end of WWII, this follows the lives of regular people as they try to rebuild their lives after the war only for Godzilla to appear to crush their hopes. At two hours and 5 minutes, this is one of the longest Godzilla movies in the series. Much of that run time is devoted to the human drama. Luckily, the main cast is engaging enough so you can keep watching while waiting for the big G to appear. I have to give out a special kudos to the incredible FX work. FAR better than 2016's Shin Godzilla; this Godzilla has some life and personality in him. Better half said that this was the best Godzilla film they've ever seen. I'd try to catch this in theaters....especially in IMAX...so you can take advantage of the amazing visuals. If Toho can maintain this type of quality, I look forward to what comes next. Nuff said.
