Thanks, fair enough. I liked ...Hollywood. Not as much as Inglorious Bastards, but still my favorite movie, off the top of my head, for 2019.

Bastards had a lot of good scenes. Good Story regardless of the alternate history
Hollywood, not much of a story. Overall pretty boring movie.
I'm ok with alternate history if the movie has a good story. Liked Watchmen, the movie, that was alternate history also
One of my favorite books is 1632 Ring of Fire. A modern West Virginia city in the middle of 1632 European wars. Talk about altering history big time

They had to bleep a few things

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

History is history
Take the Manson murders
It happened
I read Helter Skelter
Nobody won. Just straight reporting in a great detailed book

Right now Tom Cruise is filming the sequel
Live Die Repeat 2. I think I've seen the first
one, Edge of Tomorrow, seven times. He's
also signed up to do two more Mission
Impossible movies.

Is it graphic like "Saving Private Ryan" Only asking 'cause I can't take a certain person to see it if it is graphic like the opening D day scene.

There is war violence, but nothing nearly as graphic as those scenes in Saving Private Ryan.

EoT is one of the most inventive sci fi movies I’ve ever seen. Terribly underrated.
