Hopefully I'll soon be watching the documentary "Bring me Doug Jones" about the actor's rather singular career. It was funded via a Kickstarter campaign and should be shipping soon, plus streamed online for backers. He was directly involved in the production. Even when not in some sort of practical effects makeup, he can pull off incredibly creepy. He played the mayor of a town in the web series "Fallout: Nuka Break", just for the hell of it, and meeting someone who was like he played that character would have me crawling out of my skin to get away.
 
Shame it was nominated for 11 Oscars, only won two…up against LoTR was tough luck.
The studio was hoping to do all 20 novels but the sequel got cancelled.


Have you read the O’Brien 20 book series?? If not do it.
He is the best history writer ever …I found myself dreaming in Napoleonic English 🥴 I was so immersed. His attention to detail and historical research was astonishing.
Have read the series twice and just love the over arching story arc.
Learned a lot of Napoleonic history and geography….the greatest historical series I’ve ever read.

Ah that movie was worth staying up late for. 🍾

terrific reviews
I hardly recognised Colin Farrel - good cast too

Nautilus was mixed - maybe over ambitious
 
Good flick
some very emotional scenes …1998 race was unreal……100 MPH! winds for the boats and 90’ waves…..
Most of the video tho is covering off the Comache …incredible 100 foot ocean sailer …I’ve watched the start of the Hobart a few times and Comanche is always there right in the hunt.

....
Had not seen this ....on Netflix....good cast
damn Ridley Scott make good movies - really enjoyed that (y)(y)(y)(y)
And Kate Blanchett wields a mean sword on horseback
