Watched Red Dawn (1984) again. I still like it!

I know, I'm old and crazy. Ridiculous premise, needlessly violent, impossible plot and (some) bad dialog. But it keeps you interested and is sort-of patriotic. Some of the acting is actually good and it has some very good actors. The scenery is very good in HD. Wolverines! (Some Ukrainian troops painted that on Russian tanks recently.)

Las Vegas New Mexico. I did some work up in Las Vegas NM back in the late 80s. That movie was the biggest event in Las Vegas since the US annexed NM in 1848.

I do love 💕 it so!

I saw it in the theatre. I’ve seen it at least 20 times since. I’ve never seen the new one. You just don’t remake a “classic.”

WOLVERINES!

The movie is complete Cheez Wiz, but I like it.
