Panties and tampons for this small group will be spared. Not to worry gentlemen, it's all good!

And, for the rest of the movie-going public; ignore what I just said. F v. F is based on the true story of Ken Miles, a Brit race car driver, and Carroll Shelby, an American car designer. It is about race car driving, yes, but it's much more. It's about a friendship between two men, both striving for excellence in their field and the struggles that spring from pursuing that dream.

It is an excellent story told expertly without incurring that boring sensation that oft accompanies a story of technical professional efforts. There is a strong woman in it, so ladies don't feel left out. Hollywood hasn't gone completely mental (like some of our more sensitive dolts here in Fireflyland).

Seriously, Matt Damon and Christian Bale are two pros who deliver every time out (the script was concise and snappy in it's storytelling), although, at times, they pick a loser, not so in Ford v. Ferrari. They are great together and boy do they deliver the goods. It's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting and Stir Crazy all rolled into one. Well, maybe I overdid it just a touch, but you get my meaning. The chemistry between these two is palpable.
It is a good story with solid, if not, great performances.

Once upon a time, I knew who Shelby was, the creative genius behind the Ford Mustang GT, the ultimate in muscle cars. But, frankly, I don't know anything about LeMans racing or Ken Miles. Well, after seeing this movie, I still don't know much, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. So, don't go into it thinking you need to know, they will tell you. You'll laugh, you'll grab the edge of your seat and white-knuckle it, you'll cheer and you'll shed a tear (for those of us who are human).

4 out of 5 stars.

That’s why I enjoyed black panther, for example. It was a solid story. Spiderman into the spider verse. Also a good story that included a diverse cast of Spiderman. Spider woman. Spider robots… . Island of dogs? Animated, get also Set in Japan. I could go on & on.

Sounds like you despise all forward progress. Such as Space Exploration, as depicted in Science Fiction. Have you heard of Firefly or Serenity?

I don't care about a movie about cars = I despise all forward progress.

Is your brain broken or something, or are you just looking for an argument over nothing.

If it's the latter, I'll direct you toward the RWED where there's plenty of arguing over nothing.

It doesn't sound like it is a movie abput cars. Perhaps about 2 guys. But also about engineering, the challenges of progressing. Just like that movie about critical engineering in a time crunch, Apollo 13 - it won some awards. And because of the interest in the engineering aspect, it spawned the follow up film, A Beautiful Mind - which also won some awards.
But, clearly, all of this is beyond the likes of you.

I'm a staunch believer that each person has a right to do as they please and not fall prey to bullies and malcontents when it comes to movie going and the like. But yes...

I've come to the point where I view people's opinions and even trailers are unreliable in what is shown on the big screen. My general approach to seeing a movie is simple.

Here's a story, and this is how we've chosen to tell it to you.

Now, you can say stuff like " But I don't like movies about car racing, or running drugs across the border, or 350 ft tall CG monsters fighting in the middle of major cities. "

It's almost never JUST about those things, but how those stories are told, and what goes on in between the ' good ' parts.

For me, buying a ticket is essentially me giving the movie a chance to impress me. I've liked movies I didn't think I would want to see and I've hated movies I eagerly looked forward to watching.

For example, I like the group Queen, well enough. Even saw them in concert once. And I like the actor who plays Freddie Mercury, Rami Malek. But to pay $ and sit in a theatre to watch a 2 hour movie about him or the group? Not gonna do it. I'll watch when it comes on the small screen, but that's not what I pay for when I go to watch a movie.

Truce works for me. Especially here on matters of cinema and sci-fi stuff.

As I've said a time or two before... I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way
