Running Out Of Good Movies

Surely you jest?

It appears to have begun as a term upper middle class white women used to aggrandize themselves and put down others they chose to demonize as "not woke." Within a few years this boomeranged as the beta males and chronically aggrieved joined in to claim their own "wokeness" as superiority.

I've heard the term, but since I never really cared, I never asked anyone what it meant. But if your description is accurate, no wonder I didn't know, as that is not a crowd I have associated with all that much. Ok, never...

Who knew our society was 70% black and 25% other non-white?

Surely not whoever told you that. Because it's not true. Look at what you wrote there. "70% black and 25% other non-white", add those two together and you'll have 95%. The rest of the US population would be in just 5%?

The World Factbook, a CIA publication has this listed: White 61.6%, Black or African American 12.4%, Asian 6%, Indigenous and Alaska native 1.1%, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander 0.2%, other 8.4%, two or more races 10.2% (2020 est.)
 
This one's for you, Cody. It is an outstanding film.

We watched a month or so ago, it is unbelievable how good Jewel played June Carter Cash story.


Jewel went from this a couple decades ago to turning into June Carter Cash,

 
A inspiring movie, we really enjoyed it, gets better as it goes along, Produced by Willian H. Macy who stars in it.

 
On a comment by my daughter driving home on the highway, I wanted to watch that old movie DUEL. Hubby had to remind me of the title; a movie about a salesman on the road (Dennis Weaver) who had somehow ticked off a semi driver who followed him all through the movie trying to run him off the road. Back then, it was a believable scarey movie. I did not want to pay the fee for it.
I can't remember how he got rid of the truck.
 
I bring this one up a lot because I really loved it. Great setting, great characters.

Nominally "horror" but hardly do in my opinion. More of a bizarre slice of life one night in New Mexico 1959. I think it captures small town life and the era very well, and the mystery and form that the storytelling takes... it's like hearing a campfire tale with a vivid imagination and a great teller of tales.


Find it on Amazon Prime Video. I'm not sure anyplace else has it yet.

Mary, we watch a good bit of free movies on YT but sometimes it is not good quality, so we do pay for some too. Most are 3.99.
