There are probably some RPF members who know militia patrolling the AZ border:



It is pretty wild on the Mexico side. Autodefensas hunting Templar cartel (some of them literally are wearing Templar crosses) in the border towns. The militia on the US side try to capture the scouts, because they learned the drug/people runners will fight, but the scouts are often found starving and thirsty out in the desert. The militia will turn them over to Border Patrol; on the Mexico side, they tried to do the equivalent, but the Federales and even the Army will just let them go free to come back to the town and massacre. So now they just capture, torture for information, then kill medium-high level cartel members. The foot soldiers, they are given a chance to leave voluntarily; if not, they get killed, too. Some towns do not welcome the Autodefensas, they still believe in the state to protect them.

The Kinjaz!

As a fan of dancing and dance groups, I must say that these guys are the best dance group in the world. Simply put, they are sharp and skilled!

Saw The Drop last night. We liked it very much. Tom Hardy was great, and this was James Gandolfini's last movie.

Matinee - 1993

A disturbingly appropriate movie for the current times - Matinee :

A small-time film promoter releases a kitschy horror film during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Remembered this one after posting a related clip in another thread:

Similar to True Detective, but British. Fox is currently working on a US version. It is Idris Elba's show, and his performance shows why he has 0 problems finding work.

Oh yeah, we liked Luther.
Also liked Ripper Street, Sherlock, and that other BBC series....about New York City in the late 1800's?
Forgot the name, but it was getting good, when it suddenly vanished....

I watched Beasts of No Nation on Netflix. Good, not great. Expected more, really.

The Last Kingdom on BBC America. It's about the Viking invasions of England (and especially of Wessex, though it starts out in Northumbria with its main character as a child). It's only four episodes into the first season. I like it (but I like Vikings better).

It's interesting to compare it to Vikings. One of Ragnar Lothbrok's sons (Ubba) is a character, and another (Ivar) is mentioned but does not appear. (The martyring of King Edmund of East Anglia by Ubba features in one of the episodes.)

I also had a forehead-slapping epiphany about Vikings while watching The Last Kingdom - Athelstan's son, Alfred, will become Alfred the Great, King of Wessex.

I don't know how I missed such an obvious thing ... :o (Alfred is a prominent character in The Last Kingdom.)

So in Vikings (if the series gets that far), Athelstan's son and Ragnar's son are going to be mortal enemies ...

Here's the series trailer for The Last Kingdom:
