However, one thing the film didn't explain was that while looking for Howland Island Amelia broadcast on radio that they had only half hour of fuel remaining. She also claimed to be very close to her destination. If she was that close to Howland Island with only half hour of fuel left then how did she make it 350 miles south to Nikumaroro? Unless they were so far off course already and nowhere near Howland? Anyway, I'm probably derailing the purpose of this thread so I'll shut up now.
If you do watch it I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

So if you have long Covid don't start making solo flights...
My guess would be that she was already off course. Or she and the plane are at the bottom of the Pacific not far from Howland and the rest is all just odd coincidences. But I agree it probably is worth a separate thread...

The Devil All The Time.
Finally a Netflix film that's not only good, but pretty bloody excellent. Great cast, very dark and brooding storyline, just my type of film.
Well worth a watch.
There were a couple of better and more unusual scenes which I hadn’t really seen before, done well, but still no more than an average film with a standard performance from Hanks and a very good one from the girl.
6/10

Cliches a plenty, and tugged at the heart strings - but I fought back and didn’t give in to the ‘Hanks effect’.

On Prime.
It's currently on the iPlayer. I've seen it before, but many years ago, and I remember being quite bored by a lot of it, so thought maybe the 45 year old me would see something else in it that I missed, and it's a sure-fire classic ain't it?
Nope, still massively overlong, nothing happens for ages...sure it's setting up the characters and relationships but it's so damn slow. Finally gets going with the first Russian roulette scene of course which is great, but it's like listening to a double album with one decent song hidden in the middle.
One of the greatest films ever made? No, not for me.
I fancied some high budget Hollywood glitz, and hadn't seen it for a while. It really is a pretty good Bond film. I don't bother comparing to the sixties franchise anymore, as it seems pointless (very different eras and styles of film-making).
Christoph Waltz and Lea Seydoux virtually steal the show, the plot is almost feasible and Daniel Craig's relationship with Ben Whishaw shows a human side to Bond.
A very entertaining distraction.
8/10
An oldie but a goodie. Not sure I like Vince Vaughan very much, but at the same time don’t dislike him, if that makes any sense?
Ben Stiller is excellent as the easy to hate White Goodman with some other great characters and good old slapstick comedy. Christine Taylor is very easy on the eye, too!
