NETFLIX vs Hollywood

I haven't seen these films, but the big films being pushed is another "the world is ending from global warming (and bad you are the reason why)" film. Or a film about the badness of suburban life with a race card put into it.

In other words, both sound like propaganda, with pretty faces.

So what should you watch? Stranger Things is back on Netflix.

more HERE.

in that universe, we have good guys and bad guys, lots of references to Tolkien and DandD, and a character who reads Anne of Green Gables to his surrogate daughter, the same book he used to read to his own daughter before she died of cancer.

Sigh.

The government using "Eleven" is the evil side of government, but the sheriff is the good side.

Speaking of Tolkien

The Two Towers was on the local channel a couple days ago, and when I was channel surfing I came across this scene.:




The background is that the villages in the Westfold were being  attacked by raiders, and his son went with his men to fight the raiders, and was killed.

Sort of like how the US military was in Niger helping the locals defend themselves from the raiders who are attacking local villages.
