Eastern Promises and Hellstorm

Once my brother arrived home after mid-evening yesterday, I put our Android TV Box to use and we watched an episode of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina ─ season one's "Chapter Eight: The Burial".

That series does have its chills.

Next I tuned in a movie ─ 2007's Eastern Promises. I have come to greatly appreciate actor Viggo Mortensen's talent, and would not mind watching more of his movie work.

This movie was very enjoyable, but the source I had for it did not include subtitles, and therefore it became impossible to know what Russians were saying when they spoke their own language among themselves. This became very irritating. 

When movies like this get filed away at various source locations, why the hell don't subtitles naturally go along with that archiving? 

I probably should have looked for a source within the Web myself instead of relying on apps that I have downloaded into our Android TV Box. Many Web sources offer closed-captioning options, but one must have a decent virus defence such as AVG Antivirus Free because of the pop-ups that such websites inflict ─ the pop-ups are actually new browser tabs that open up, but which AVG prevents from displaying nor unleashing whatever nastiness is harboured there.

Had I known that subtitles would be as useful as they would have been for this movie, I would have used a browser app and tried watching the movie at FMovies.to ─ its movies often provide the closed-captioning feature.

By the way, lead actress Naomi Watts looked exceptional in the tight jeans she wore for lengthy periods during the movie.

We finished off our night's viewing with the series finale of Saxondale. The series wasn't great ─ I didn't much like Tommy, the central character. But even so, it had a lot of good moments, and my brother and I loved how character Vicky (played by Morwenna Banks) unfailingly got Tommy's goat every time he had to report in to the extermination company's office that he worked for ─ we could hardly ever understand what rapid-fire Vicky was saying, but her delivery was absolutely superb.

My wife finally showed up after my brother had gone to bed for the night, and I was doing a few things here at my computer before also going to bed. I had seen that she deprived my lowly chequing account of another $200, dropping its balance below $100. 

We didn't say much to one another ─ she just guiltily offered that she would deposit $2,000 in a few days, the full amount that she has 'stolen' since I got my monthly pension towards the end of August.

When I finished up here at my computer, I went to bed (she and I have separate bedrooms) ─ she was downstairs, probably cooking up a bedtime snack.  

She had today off work, but early into the latter afternoon she left, letting me know first ─ I was into the final 10 minutes of a session of being out in the backyard barefooted, but otherwise clothed. I had gone out there following a brief nap, and beginning around 2:39 p.m. spent something over an hour and 20 minutes outside. The sky was almost exclusively overcast ─ mainly with high smoke from distant wildfires, but there were also clouds interfering with the Sun as well.

As for morning T.V. with my brother, putting our Android TV Box to use, I led us off with the 1½-hour 2015 documentary Hellstorm.  

A documentary that tells the tale that the victors still do not want you to know. Learn the terrible truth about the rape, torture, slavery, and mass murder inflicted upon the German people by the Allied victors of World Word II.

If the claims put forth in this documentary are true, it defies my understanding how the German nation has managed to become what it has, or how the average German citizen is anything like sane today.

Quite apart from the atrocities the German people experienced during and following the Second World War, it is boggling to think that more German soldiers were killed in the two years following the end of the war than had died during the six years that the war had lasted! 

Can this be? 

It is disgusting that not just the Russians, but even many of the Allies pillaged and raped, quite aside from executing German soldiers who had surrendered.

We watched the documentary on BitChute ─ provided that this search link remains valid, you can find various sources there for the documentary.

It is powerful.

Next I tuned in the very dull by comparison hour-and-20-minute 'The Highwire with Del Bigtree' upload to Rumble on September 9: INSIDE THE MIND OF THE MASSES.

Clinical Psychologist and Professor, Mattias Desmet, joins Del in studio to discuss his new book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, and how we can help break out of the current global ‘mass formation’. 

I have seen a few interviews with Mattias Desmet, and in all honesty they tend to be overlong. I do not have much regard for psychology / psychiatry.

We finished up our viewing with an episode of The Last O.G. ─ it was episode five of season two.

My wife had been up for a little while by this point. My brother sought some bed rest after the sitcom; and after I had some of my wife's cooking, I also sought a nap. 

Hey, it is almost 9 p.m., so I am going to bring this post to a close. My wife is not yet home, incidentally.
