Movie Theater The Night Manager

#8
I've ridden our country. Loved it. Not crazy about reruns... so need to see Europe one more time before the Durka Durka Jihad Mohammad types take it all Aloha Snackbar.

But I still have some USA rides I need to do... Trans-Labrador (yeah, that's Canada, but them snow-beaners might as well be American)... Lincoln Highway -- following the route of Eisenhower's Convoy route... Alaska Highway and up to Pt. Barrow or as far as I can get. Still have not done California coast road....

Once I get to Alaska on my Bimmer, I'll have been from Russia to... Russia... not a bad ride on a 25 year old bike!

Hoka Hey still intrigues me, but I'd have to get back into fighting trim to do that. I like my short 500 mile days in my old age. My 1000 mile days in a bike were fine a decade ago. Harder now.

Cheers,

Sirhr

Ya got me. I'm beginning the binge. The intro alone is amazing. This is gonna be good. It's readily apparent. Thx for posting this up.

Funny, I had that reaction when I was watching it. He is truly the next Daniel Craig.

For those who have not seen it, the remake of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy from a few years ago was amazing. Was a feature-length in-cinemas movie. I'd read the book and seen the (arguably better BBC miniseries) and yet was STILL riveted.

Not one car chase. Not one second of CGI. No explosions... yet we were riveted to our seats every second.

Also, if you have not seen it, Bridge of Spies was truly outstanding. The actor who played Abel was just... brilliant. Again, no action. Just riveting, heart-stopping drama.... even though you knew how it all ended.

Hollywood doesn't need stupid Transformer and Marvel comic movies. They need to film... stories.

Then again, the Nintendo generation can't handle actual plot... when they can watch visual pablum all the way back to their safe spaces. Wouldn't want to trigger them and make them all phobic....

Cheers,

Sirhr

It's a great show, I like those British spy/suspense series.
When you get done with that, try The Worricker Trilogy, if you liked the night manager, you'd probably like it as well.

Morse, Lewis, Endeavor, Worricker, all my style...

If you're in for a long series of understated British WWII Police mystery/espionage, Foyle's War on Netflix.

Up here it poured rain all day. Spent it indoors loading some .300 WM's, .38's, prepping .40 brass and then some relaxation time painting lead soldiers....

All with Ken Burns National Parks series playing in the background. Love my new reloading room!

Today, back to farm work then going to the races this afternoon! 'Merika!

Cheers,

Foyle's War was an outstanding series. Very well done. Can't imagine anyone over 45-50 not liking it. Shame the Brit Series don't get much acclaim over here. We're being cheated.

Have you ever considered (maybe you've already done it.....) the five biggest/highest passes in Switzerland ? Seems like you may have already ridden in Europe quite a bit. They are;

Gotthard
Neufenen
Grimsel
Furkha
Susten

There are very nice, small towns leading up to and at the base of the passes, lodging is plentiful. We were up on Susten about three years ago in September and the Italians and Germans were up there en masse in their Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Maseratis. Quite a sight to see, what with the millions of Euro's worth of rolling stock. Of course, there were a lot of female bleach blondes holding down the map in the passenger seats....

I did Stelvio and another big one last year... Pictures evaporated with the Scout site.

Cant remember which the second one was. It was used in the beginning of The Italian Job (original). Stelvio is insane. The second pass was one of the big ones into Switzerland. Might have been Furkha.

In London now.... Just polished off some great cheap-dive-joint Indian food. The best!

Cheers,

Sirhr
