Pardon my segue, history related, but not WWIi

Just finishing up Scott Anderson’s 2025 book “King of Kings” about the Shah of Iran. Fascinating back story of how the CIA installed his father, Reza Pahlavi in 1953, all the way through the 1979 revolution and how Nixon, Kissinger and Carter dealt with Iran and set the groundwork for what’s going in today. Excellent very engaging history.

I highly recommend "Nuremberg" (Netflix). Great story and acting.**

Watched it today; I think they focused on the wrong character

I'm about to start on Das Boot, the original miniseries cut.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/11/26 07:40 PM ET
Is that Netflix?**
HokieDelNorte • 03/12/26 11:24 AM ET
I put that on my "watch list" last night.

I didn't know there is a mini-series cut. I own the Director's Cut version
Atlee Hokie • 03/11/26 09:44 PM ET
Directors cut is "only" 3.5 hours.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/12/26 09:05 AM ET
What made the film even more authentic was being filmed ...
