Ah, the 90s LiS film. A movie I like both more and less whenever I happen to watch it. Though slightly more 'more' than more 'less' each time, so on the balance it's gaining ground. The fact I've given it a chance more than once says something about my perception of its merits anyway.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...

If you're at all interested in the Whitey Bulger story, I suggest watching -  Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger.

Just be ready to feel sick to your stomach. What a bunch of crooked, lying, murdering scumbags on all sides.

It was a nice doc, but I felt they ended the timeline too early. 


Need a really long doc on WWI aircraft & prodution improvements throughout the war.  The couple docs I've seen on this subject thus far have been far too brief. 

It's fascinating how quickly the technology advanced, and the stories from the pilots flying those rickety deathtraps are even more fascinating.

Just finished up with Narcos and will probably give it another watch through soon. Top notch. Right up there with the best TV series I've ever seen - Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire.

Wagner Moura, the actor who plays Escobar, is outstanding.

Just watched a doc on the founding of the Israeli Air Force.  Very interesting; I recommend.

Any time is a good time for pie.

Every time the guy who plays Javier the DEA agent appeared on screen, all I could think of was Schneider from One Day at a Time.

And now I will never be able to see it the same way ever again!

Steve: It was a lovely time. Not to mention there was a $300,000 price tag on any DEA agent.
Were you aware of that price tag the entire time?
Steve: Oh, yeah. My wife threatened to cash in on it several times.
