I made up the killing ability, although there no reason they couldn't do so, as long as it's individuals. Pretty sure a small lethal payload of high explosive could kill one person at close range. Or disable them badly if not kill them.

Other ways of killing would be possible, but probably illegal because of chemicals.

How do these mini drones kill someone? The little toy ones at Walmart only fly for a few minutes and can't carry anything.

The actual 60 Minutes story seems to be only available on CBS All Access for 99 cents a month, rather then YouTube for free. This linked website describes the difficulty is filming these tiny drones that fly at 50mph.

Saw "Kingsman: The Golden Circle", the sequel to "Kingsman: The Secret Service".

If you enjoyed the first film, you will feel ambivalent after watching this one. It is a poor imitator. It tries to preserve the elements that made the first film fun, outrageous fire fights and chases, hand to hand combat, high tech gadgets and a secret society. Unfortunately, it leaves behind perhaps the most important elements from the first film, the British sensibilities of civility and decorum that made all the Bond franchise films such fun.

Rather, the film introduces an American counterpart to the Kingsman, the "Statesman" complete with six gun totin', bull whippin, Stetson wearing, whiskey chugging, cowboy swagger. The film goes flatter than a nickle on a Texas railroad track run over by a mad dog runaway red silver streamline train.

Even an extended appearance by Elton John and borderline pornography that includes digital penetration (fortunately, not together) can't save this bomb.



I give it one mucus activated tracking device out of ten.

I saw Battle of the Sexes last weekend. It was a light entertaining movie. I think the whole cast had fun with it and didn't take it too seriously, as the match itself was a publicity stunt I don't think either player took more than that.

I hate when the trailer is the best part of a movie. Especially when it is the only good part.

Hehe... Sometimes the trailer is better than the movie, as some of those early scenes don't make the final cut.

Remember when trailers had a voice-over extolling the virtues of a film?

I thought this was a movie at first.

Of course. It wasn't that long ago.
