you can always watch the news Crystal.. lotsa disasters there



watched Altered 2025 total waste of 1.5hrs.. probably one of THE worst films I've watched in a long time

I did enjoy watching The Wrecking Crew give that one an 8/10

Just watched US Marshalls for the umpteenth time. Such a good movie.
And such a shame they never made a 3rd one.

Haha, I guess!
But I haven't watched -nor listened to- news for 15,5 years now. Like to keep it that way!
I rather watch fiction, far more relaxed :D

I guess yer right when it comes to fiction vs the news.. for the longest time I didn't watch it.. started up for a bit last year but.. with everything going on in the USA at the moment figured I'd give my blood pressure a break so haven't watched since..

new Jason Statham movie out, Shelter, may watch that tonight.. I love his movies, so actiony

Sheltered w/Jason Statham is a typical action packed flick that I totally enjoyed.. 9/10 but then again, I'm a huge Statham fan

What I have learnt in the past 15,5 years of no news is that if it's truly important and I should know, I always find out about it one way or another.
Then I still do NOT watch the news as that has an emotional load (if that's the right word).
I then Google it to find an article about what's going on which I then read.
Reading printed/typed text hasn't got the emotional load (think voice, body language etc.) it's basically neutral.
Then I'm up to speed without any emotional coercion from the external.

I did the same when I heard that something was going on in the US.
When it matters, I always find out one way or another and then I can decide for myself whether or not to look into it.
Way better than being overwhelmed plural times a day when the radio is on or the telly. Hearing it once is enough for me, hihi.

The Statham movie sounds interesting! I'm going to look it up tonight :)
I too like Jason Statham, seen many of his movies.

Just got around to watching Sinner's last night.

yeah.. I can't do horror seems there's a lot of new horror flicks out and being released soon tho.. just not ma cup-o-tea..

totally get the 'emotional' factor associated with some news broadcasts.. and why my blood pressure was getting too high..

my dad liked it old school too.. a thing they used to call "a newspaper" with words printed on paper.. almost non existant today.. lol

Yeah, sometimes more old school is better.
There are definitely advantages when it comes to how you receive the news.


I am btw watching "Shelter" as we speak :)
So far I am impressed. Not a real fast paced movie but seeing him in action again, absolutely wonderful!
Like I can have a joygasm from watching someone ride a horse really really well, I have the same thing with good martial arts. The kind Statham serves :)

After the Statham movie I watched Grizzly Night.
Based on the 2 deadly bear attacks in 1967, in Montana's Glacier National Park.

I knew it wasn't going to be a pleasant movie in a way since it concerned people getting attacked, but what got to me, and almost has me in tears, is that they started aggressively killing grizzlies afterwards.
I knew that as well as it's what humans always do. Animals always bear the brunt for people's own FUs. Cause it was human mistakes and stupid behaviour that caused it to happen.
They hunted them down till they were almost extinct.
Disgusting.

That kind of stuff always gets to me.
Going to watch something lighthearted now to snap out of it.

11.2.63 Netflix mini series

A man trying to prevent the assassination of JFK.
I've seen that. I did like it.

Only thing wrong with it is the date. I assume it was November so it should be 2/11/63.
Now it says 11 Feb 63.

Correction..... It's 11.22.63
can't wait to finish tonight

watched The Rip w/Matt Damon & Ben Affleck

VERY good flick.. dark but keeps ya guessing till the very last.. 9/10

ma bad.. Shelter is the title.. I had it right the first time I posted the title on the 24th @ 7:20pm DOH..
