"Small Towns Big Kansas." on Prime. I only made it through two towns before I quit watching. I liked that the grain elevator was the highlight of each town. But my favorite part was the narrator's extremely Kansas dialect. Like, "People seemta take a lotta pride in ther yard an stuff herein Culver."

I've had this saved for a long time and never got to it. There was another Kansas doc that I also saved that I can't remember what it's called.

The other Kansas doc on my Prime playlist is called "A Simple Kansas Man." I'm pretty sure it's from our guy Larry from the Larry Thread in the Pit, isn't he from Cuba?

Quote
This film is about Larry Petry a man with a learning disabled and Cuba Kansas. The film maker has documented Larrys life in the atmosphere of a small Kansas town, Cuba Kansas. Larry and Cuba Kansas have a common goal to survive in todays changing times.

These docs are made by the same filmmaker. The towns are basically all the towns around where I grew up in North Central Kansas. They crap on my hometown, which is the best in the region. Prob out of jealousy tbh.  I’m guessing the filmmaker lives somewhere around Barnard.

@licknecky prob knows him.

I did a full review on each (I think) of his films this summer itt.

Not gonna search it, but I did a review
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

That director/filmmaker guy comes off as a real dbag to me.

old Dune had some insanely bad special effects, but also was good.
It was made in 1984. What'd you expect? :dunno:

Alien was made in 1979, now obviously that is one of the best of all-time but it didn't have to be that way.  I actually loved the physical effects and makeup and costumes in Dune, but some of the stuff was just dumb.

I started it and gave it away to Metalhead, I'm picking it back up as he told me it was great and I think it is a really great story.  Yes.

Looks like a misthreaded reply to this tweet:

https://twitter.com/pyschness/status/1248681646364246021?s=21

I chuckled regardless.

I had not heard of Wire, Google tells me it's in Neosha County, which may as well be Pluto, never been there, don't want to go there, will never set foot there. SEKS, The Gateway to Gross.

All of the scenes shot in the spaceship seemed very cheesy.

I liked it.  My only criticism is that it takes it's time building this universe and then feels rushed to wrap it up at the end.

We watched it a few days ago and immediately thought it sucked major ass. From reviews on twitter others feel the same.

A lot of people thought #WW84 sucked ass too, so those might just be some sheep tweeting out there.

The Midnight Sky was about as realistic as Star Wars, without any of the entertainment value.

I can’t believe those guys have raised over 10 mill for small businesses lately. Pretty rad stuff.

So I watched The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia today. I went from :ROFL: at hillbilly culture to  :cry: at substance abuse and I felt bad for watching it and that it was made. I think it was the first time I've watched a movie and felt like I was actually contributing to someone being exploited even though the doc was filmed 13 years ago.
