The Most Recent Movie You've Seen on Streaming, Broadcast TV, or Movie Theater?

@snood,

I have never seen Philidelphia, but Saving Private Ryan left a big impression. When the lights came up at the end of the movie, I saw a lot of old men wiping their eyes. They seemed to be about my Dad's age and my impression was they were WWII vets like my Dad. Made me choke up.

Justin Wilson.

I always pronounce "onion" the French (Cajun) way because of him.

I loved it, I love dialects and the differences in culture around the country. I'm afraid it's a losing battle because every flipping community in this country now has a Banana Republic, Applebees, Chili's, a Walmart, and stultifying sameness all over the place.

I was just a teenager but I watched his show and some times Tge Galloping Gourmet.
( Do you remember that one?)

At the end of every Justin Wilson show, he would set his table for one, pour a glass of wine and eat whatever he had just cooked.

My whole family liked that guy...

Before he had the TV show I listened to him as a teen on The Louisiana Hayride weekly radio program.

Yup...and damn near every recipe looked deeelichious.

He was a great marketer...especially for Cajun cookin'!

I've only been to New Orleans once a long time ago. Mr. G'bags brother was an English Professor at Tulane and we had to go close up his affairs after he died. Most of the time was miserable, but wow, the food was marvelous. In the middle of our stay, the Chippendales performed at the hotel and it was bedlam. Women were screaming like maniacs and it went on for hours. It wasn't a great moment for womanhood.

I was stationed at Ft Polk for my last four years in the Army. That’s in Leesville, Louisiana - about 2 and a half hours from Baton Rouge.
A real armpit of a place, but like you said, the food was scrumptious.

Baton Rouge and New Orleans, two cities that I will never forgive for swindling people in bogus adoption schemes and the police in New Orleans for stripping my brother-in-laws apartment before his body was cold.
