It was interesting. I was old enough to understand what was happening back then, but I was not interested, so this movie explained it for me. I hope today's press is as strong and defiant should something like this happen again. ~Sue~ ID: 1949029 · Reply Quote

Well sort of. Flying over there at about 33,000 feet in an aeroplane and no clouds. Reminds me of Sweden and Finland. ID: 1949421 · Reply Quote

Last modified: 21 Aug 2018, 3:02:44 UTC LBJ - It was okay. I have to say something about this movie. There was a lot of use of the "F-word." I know the word is popular now and used a lot, but was it really used by LBJ (and others) as much as they used it in this movie? After all, it was the early 60's and that word was considered extremely vulgar. I doubt that it was used so much and, each time I heard it, I was pulled out of the movie due to my wondering about this subject. :-( What do you think? ~Sue~ ID: 1951035 · Reply Quote

I have not seen that movie, but I suspect the use of the f word is probably to pull in viewers. That sort of language resonates with the target demographic and sells ads.

I don't watch TV as much as I used to, and being OTA TV instead of Cable, there's not that many channels I'm able to receive in my area. For a while, I was watching the new "In Search Of (2018)" with Zachary Quinto (downloaded the series and watched commercial-free) and it's not too bad. Interesting how the 1st episode dealt with aliens and SETI as part of it. That one guy who claimed to have been 'abducted' was suspect in my mind from the getgo. I had a feeling he wasn't going to pass the polygraph (and he didn't). ID: 1951894 · Reply Quote

If you like scary stuff, you may enjoy this movie. The real place (website). Looks like they're changing the place a bit to bring in more people. Trying to make more money. :-( ~Sue~ ID: 1952159 · Reply Quote

I was just thinking about that house for some reason, so it's funny you brought it up. I'm going to rent the movie at Red Box. The mind is a weird and mysterious place ID: 1952258 · Reply Quote
