The Last Movie You Watched

[Gawdzilla Sama]

"A Haunting In Venice." Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) in a spooky movie. This one would go good for Halloween.

This one's on my list to watch, but I'm unlikely to see it in the theatre.

There were a few places that I wanted to back up and see again. Even at home this is a see-it-twice movie. Not the best view(s) of Venice, but the atmosphere was excellent.

It would get you booted out of the USN when I was on active duty. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" changed that but after my time. ('69-'89)

"Don't ask, don't tell" was the official United States policy on military service of non-heterosexual people, instituted during the Clinton administration. The policy was issued under Department of Defense Directive 1304.26 on December 21, 1993, and was in effect from February 28, 1994, until September 20, 2011. Wikipedia
Date: February 28, 1994 – September 20, 2011
Outcome: Service by gays, bisexuals, and lesbians in the military

Oh yeah, I forgot about the "Don't ask don't tell policy", and when I said "Hair" I meant "Big Wednesday" movie. In BW there is a scene where a group of friends go to the drafting board to dodge the draft. One of them pretends to be gay and the draft sergeant tells him that he will love it in the Army because there are lots of men and they get really close in foxholes and tanks and combat. After which they take him in the Marines. But I rewatched the scene and his friends said that he "cracked", so I guess they figured he was not really gay.

Interestingly, another character pretends to be a Nazi and doesn't pass the draft, so maybe there will be a comedy about two guys who are pretending to be Nazis to avoid going to Vietnam War.

Never heard of that one.

Never heard of that one.

Well, here they are. One is pretending to be gay, one to be an invalid and one is just Gary Busey. Busey is the craziest and they escort him in a straitjacket. I remember John Millius, who made the movie and based it on his life, said that they would compete who would get kicked out first and then they wondered if it counted when someone would be taken away in a straitjacket since they still had him.

Typecasting at its finest.

Not a movie, but a limited series, “Dear Child”. It’s a German series, acting was good. But, couldn’t make it past the first episode. It’s just too dark, plot is about women being abused by this serial kidnapper, so nah, I’ll pass.
