Damn!

I just did a search for Gamorrah with Roku which searches the web for titles. Gomorrah, seasons 1 & 2 show available on Netflix, no charge and Amazon for a charge.

If at first you don't succeed, Skydiving is not for you!

Somewhat vague as to exact location?

Prices already are sky high. Beyond the reach of many sailors. The US military is currently more disciplined than in the past. Well above many of the low life "footballers" that visit.

Kind of like the Left in America at the moment. Removing statues, references to Columbus, etc.

Appreciate the followup!

It has absolutely nothing to do with conservatives, reactionary or otherwise. Conservatives do not put a lot of emphasis on animal rights, etc. The Progressive/Regressive/Fascist/Stalinist movement has no tolerance for anything that does not conform to their very narrow scope of political correctness. NOW (National Organization of Women) component does not support the sexual exploitation of women. NOW are Regressives. Animal rights groups are generally Regressives, etc.

Sounds as if it is run by liberal progressive regressives.

I have heard rumors that sometimes the bugs are killed with insecticides...?

Understandable. The movie Zorro, the Gay Blade starring George Hamilton. At some point there is confusion over "sheeps" & "ships" due to his gay Spanish accent. Do not know why I remembered that....My first wife who was Cuban and her brother found it hilarious. Sort of became an ongoing joke within the family.

Tell that to George Hamilton!

I have not checked any of these sites. Cnet can be a good source of information. 8 ways to watch movies online for freeOnly the popcorn will cost you. Well, that and the internet connection for your phone, laptop or set-top box. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/watch-movies-online-for-free/?ftag=CAD3c77551&bhid=23860859715688000370063358693626

'Death Wish' trailer starring Bruce Willis slammed as 'racist,' 'alt-right' Looks good to me! Coming in November.

If you get Amazon. It is an original Amazon production of the Last Tycoon. Very well done. We really enjoyed it! https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-last-tycoon-review-echoes-of-old-hollywood-1501190026 ‘The Last Tycoon’ Review: Echoes of Old Hollywood Amazon’s adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s unfinished novel is a stunning portrait of the 1930s. Kelsey Grammer as Pat Brady and Lily Collins as Celia Brady PHOTO: AMAZON PRIME VIDEO By Dorothy Rabinowitz July 27, 2017 5:13 p.m. ET 6 COMMENTS It’s clear, early on, that this new adaptation of “The Last Tycoon” isn’t going to be the long-awaited faithful translation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, unfinished at his death in 1940. It’s much better than that. After the first two hours, in fact, the echoes of Fitzgerald’s book grow ever dimmer as this powerhouse of a drama series rolls on with a voice all its own, its riveting picture not only of 1930s Hollywood but of America and Europe, too. It manages to wed all that to romance of a high order and also a low kind—this is a drama that pays exquisitely close attention to the matter of moguls and the women who serve them—and to scathing satire strikingly free of anything cartoonish. Which is why the film’s chief mogul, Pat Brady (a matchless Kelsey Grammer ), who clearly considers the available sex to be part of his job benefits, and who is, as well, capable of any brutality in order to keep his business afloat, is, nonetheless, a tremendously appealing character. The Last Tycoon Friday, Amazon MORE REVIEWS ‘Manhunt: Unabomber’ He can be softhearted—he hands money to the homeless at the Hooverville set up near his studio, while hating them for being there. But he’s prepared as well to accommodate the Nazis, who have strict prohibitions against anything in a Hollywood film that the Reich finds offensive. Any picture, for instance, in which a non-Jew is married to a Jew—a violation of the Nazi racial laws. That’s in addition to the requirement that all the studio’s Jews employed in Germany be fired. The demands are presented to Brady by a Reich representative, Dr. Gyssling, who carries a briefcase adorned with a shiny swastika and who is, in fact, based on an actual special consul from Germany in the ’30s. The Reich agent in the film has no trouble persuading studio heads to agree. Germany, Brady points out, is the second-largest world market for Hollywood. Taking all this in is Brady’s supremely talented young producer, Monroe Stahr ( Matt Bomer ), who is, unlike his boss, exquisite looking—positively aglow with decency. Also, unlike Brady, he’s Jewish. Not that anyone would know from his name, which he changed in the interest of his career. He’d scarcely known his hardworking father, he confides, regretfully, several episodes on in a scene vibrant with contained emotion—a tone in which Mr. Bomer is wondrously skilled. Rosemarie DeWitt as Rose Brady and Kelsey Grammer as Pat Brady PHOTO: AMAZON PRIME VIDEO His character, Monroe, is a moralist, but a kind everyone can love and does. Monroe leads an immensely complicated life. In mourning for his beloved actress wife, who died in a fire, he finds solace, briefly, in an affair with Rose ( Rosemarie De Witt ), wife of his boss, a man with whom he has an even more complicated relationship. Ms. De Witt is stellar as Rose, heartbreakingly and cuttingly to the point about her need to continue the affair. Monroe wants out—everything about this violates his sense of propriety. Rose, like numerous others around him, is in love with Monroe, who is everything her husband is not—her husband being, as she informs him one night, in a biting summation, a man who takes sexual advantage of women who work for him, doesn’t mind impoverishing his employees, and traffics with Nazis. Matt Bomer as Monroe Stahr and Lily Collins as Celia Brady PHOTO: AMAZON PRIME VIDEO The sumptuous period detail here will invite comparisons to “Madmen,” but there’s infinitely more in this re-creation of an era than its fidelity to the look of things—though that look is, always, inescapably captivating, whether it’s of people hoping for a career in pictures, or of those, like the regally beautiful Margo Taft ( Jennifer Beals ), who already have one. A stardom so powerful she’s known to demand that any director wanting to work with her submit to having her measure his private parts. Then there’s the look, no less enthralling, of the actual old movie moguls as they traded, bargained and engaged in murderous competition, including blackmail threats like leaked scandals, involving some rival studio’s star. Here is MGM’s Louis B. Mayer, as portrayed, wickedly, by Saul Rubinek ; he bears no resemblance to Mayer but you get the picture, especially from the scene in which Mayer delivers a heartfelt funeral eulogy. “The Last Tycoon”—from Billy Ray and Christopher Keyser, executive producers and writers—has, in addition to its looks, superb writing, wit and huge ambition, its grasp of the passionate political heart of the era. There are no dead spots.

This is the time of the year when travel bargains are plentiful. And the price of oil has been down for a while. A major part of why we are seeing incredible airfares. My wife booked us for August, LAX/Zurich for under $1,000 for two tickets. In August! She booked LAX/London in October for just over $900/2 tickets, non-stop! (I keep trying to explain to her that regardless of our saving on airfare we still spend a small fortune when we get there. Granted the dollar is still strong which helps, but. Price of oil has begun to rise. It would seem that the rise will continue and perhaps maintain at higher levels which will eventually cause airfares to rise..... Now is the time to book your airfares IMO.

When surfing I got a $342 r/t LAX/BKK. 12 hour layover in Shanghai was the downside. Added a few days in Shanghai and fare went up to $420. This was for November...

Hopefully it will work for you. Seems to work for some, others no effect. Did not work for me. But it worked for your mother-in-law and many others.

I would be careful using Prednisolone on a regular basis. Can cause diabetes and other problems.

What, you thought I was joking?

United/ANA has some incredible deals on open jaw trips throughout that area at the moment. Downside is most of the flights arrive between midnight and 2 am. I have been tracking the same trip for Feb. Have seen prices as low as $511.00 to $618 for the dates I would prefer. I have no real desire to go to Kuala Lumpur myself. But my wife saw an Anthony Bourdain show where he visited. So "we are going"! Can fly Air Asia/Tiger KUL to Krabi or Phukett for $50 or so...

He could stop eating eggs for a day or two....
