Well yeah, I remember '68 like it was yesterday, significant events, girlfriends in HS, the sweetness of youth. We were stunned at the movie's climactic scene, the threat of nuclear Armageddon present in the Viet Nam conflict, escalating. Is the probability less now, than then ? The opening scenes in '98's Godzilla too, boded calamity. the Eniwetok Atoll H-Bomb tests Ivy Mike, creating a Monster. That is why we would hump like rabbits, like there was no tomorrow, back then. Wish I could go back in time to suffer again, to correct a few mistakes, do it right the second time, so I didn't hurt her feelings so badly, being an insensitive lout. Makes me think, ' Yeah, a time machine ! ' Maybe, that's what the ufos are, after all.

Hope, British Columbia, Canada. Where the Sasquatch live on the Mountain. Go there, bring food, they like food. Clear your mind, become one with Earth, call out to our big brothers, say hello. Prepare to inhibit your fear of the unknown, relax into the new World.
The Great Race sword fight between Tony Curtis and Ross Martin was the best sword fight ever! (Ross Martin was the only reason to watch Wild Wild West (As Artemus Gordon)

I dunno about that. There was something about him I didn't particularly care for, although I enjoyed his contraptions. However, (as a 9-13 year old) I thought Robert Conrad was great. He was the smooth ladies man that I never became. lol
When I was very young back in the 60s I was more into Conrad....But as I got older I realized just how talented Ross Martin was- especially after seeing him in several other shows and movies. Also, there was a situation at "Battle of the Network Stars" where Conrad challenged Gabe Kaplan (Welcome back Kotter) to a run....and Gabe beat him....Conrad was very arrogant- there was a movie he did which was just an "Ego stroker" for him and that really changed my opinion of him...
This is great ! The scripts for the second coming of President D.J.Trump. What miracles will be achieved before 2028 ? World Peace, the return of Crimea to Ukraine, Hamas destroyed and defeated. a colossal asteroid deflected, The primary front in the war on drugs in South America, the dictators absconding with their loot to Russia, China and North Korea. ' I hate these arctic winters, I'm freezing my ash off ! '
I liked the Anderson's Supercar, then Fireball XL5, and then along came Stingray- that was my favorite; I could not get a model of the Stingray submarine- was very frustrated....somehow my father got a Stingray friction model from England...
Christmas morning I was playing with my gifts at 5-7 am. My father got up at 7 and came in the family room, "Merry Christmas, Eric...Did you get everything you wanted?" "Yes- but I didn't get the submarine!"
He picked me up and put me on his shoulders while saying "Lets go wish your mother Merry Christmas" and walking towards the hallway, passed under a giant ornament that my mother had hung from the ceiling- and hanging from it was that Stingray!!!!!!! (I am surprised I didn't hurt my father jumping after it....
By the time Thunderbirds came along, I had moved on- did watch a few, but I really just wanted a REAL Stingray submarine. In 2011, I found a metal model on Amazon, and bought it for $70...The next day was "Cyber Monday" with all the sales/special prices on Amazon.....I was showing a co-worker what I had bought on Amazon- and the price was now $126!!! So sometimes I guess it does NOT pay to buy on Cyber-Monday!

Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorite movies of all time. I have to say, honestly... that there was something about movies from that time. I was barely born in the 70s, but I've seen a lot of the movies from the mid / late 1960s. It seems to me that the movies that had intermissions, were the ones that they put the most effort in. Movies like Lawrence of Arabia, or Grand Prix, were absolute masterpieces of film. Don't get me wrong, I love me a good Sci-Fi movie, but again... 2001 Space Odyssey... it just feels like they tried harder back then to make good movies than they do now. Those three movies I mentioned all came out at around the same time... they are just unbelievable pieces of film.
Shoot... The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and the two movies that came before it... Fistfull of Cast, and A Handful More (or whatever it is)... they just don't make scenese like these anymore...
Even the music... from Ennio Mericone or whatever his name was... just so impressive.

Those spaghetti westerns were so cheesy... but yeah, they had a certain panache.

Well, I know they were done on a lower budget... but the three of them were fantastic movies. They are very slow movies, and don't even really have much of a plot... which itself is part of the charm. But it's part of what I meant... movies during that time (some of them)... people just tried harder. That doesn't mean that newer movies aren't also sometimes good. Amadeus (I realize it was like 89 or 90) was also a movie like that... they just put in more effort.
' Saigon, '68.. ' At the time, I was totally preoccupied with Miss Mary Jane Rotten Crotch, way up North, here in Toronto, great memories, I'd sure like to do that again, only better this time. ' I still love you Jennifer ! '~ Rolling Stones, Angie Full Metal Jacket - Bird is the Word Perfectly suited for the imminent siege of Chicago, house to house urban warfare on cartel gangs, 100K+ casualties, a civil war action. The Governor and Mayor among the missing. CNN !

Futuristic theme, a virus that wipes out mankind, an evil plot by communists to rule the world. Czar Vladimir Putin would do that to keep power, Emperor Xi too, would not hesitate to release his WooFloo, a plague on the world. Biological Warfare on a global scale, the stinkbomb in science class, ' Tee Hee ! '
So, you want to know where the idea for biological and chemical warfare came from. The National WW1 Museum and Memorial Ypres Salient, October 1914. If you don't know this, then you don't know sheet, about squat. Question is, when will Czar Putin deploy BW and CW drones in Ukraine ? ' Uh oh ! '
All the Nazis in this film were killed. The entire world was fighting Nazis, killed them all, gonna have to waste all the Dempartie_Nazi_Hamas_Communists too. Afterwards, the world will be at peace, until the next generation of Zombies grow old enough to kill.
