Extra Butter Live Watch Along Today
Hey! Today will be the LIVE watch along to The Rocketeer! We are going to be doing it during the afternoon (here at least) Carly is finishing an appointment before coming over so I can’t be exact with the start time but somewhere around 2pm MDT.
I will post an update with the live link when we’re ready!

YT Edit wen? Bonus: the Rocketeer Minute, a website and podcast about the movie, one minute at a time. https://www.rocketeerminute.com/

The Rockawho?
What time will the watch along be eastern time
It was yesterday. There is a link in another post (above this one) if you are on that membership tier.
Cassie on The Rocketeer: “My 10-year-old would like this movie. It’s cute.”
The graphic novel the movie was based on was an obvious homage to the serials of the 30’s and wasn’t really meant for mass appeal. Why they thought a movie made from that graphic novel would do well at the box office for an audience that mostly had zero experience with movie serials is anyone’s guess.
Good one! Can’t wait.
Can i watch this when it's not live with the kernel club membership?
It will be released as a full reaction in a day or two like normal
well now... 🙂
Oooh, I'm so excited for this one! I hope all is well for the stream and my end too😅
This story is made for PiB. The Ladies are going to love it. I don't think C&C have any awareness of Jennifer Conley as a young actor though, just the Maverick era Jennifer.. They both liked her recent work. I think that will be interesting to see if/how they like her in this movie.
Is Carly here? We have to wait for Carly to kick off the party.
For those interested, here is a bit of an oral history and origins of the film including (yes) its comic book background https://filmobsessive.com/film/film-analysis/remember-the-rocketeer/
This movie was generally panned by critics when it came out but I loved it. Always fascinated by this era of flight. I think you'll enjoy it!
Well it opened to decent reviews...the problem was that City Slickers and Robin Hood had opened weeks prior and were mega hits...and it opened against a new Julia Roberts movie Dying Young...which isn't very good but JR was in her peak at this time and it sold a lot of tix. The Rocketeer just got lost unfortunately
Enjoy gang . This would be the one time a watchalong would actually work for me time wise but I had dropped down a level because they often don't work time wise for me. I recall enjoying the rocketeer and I'm looking forward to seeing it again. So enjoy everybody!
Ahh. A treat for the Non-Working Folks. Well that ain’t me. ;-) Catch y’all later. Enjoy. The Rocketeer was one of my favorites growing up and still is.
Hey...I work...just not in the summer...er..well..online in the summer. HA. Sorry you aren't joining.
At 2pm MDT the sun isn't even really set in Denmark, (10 o'clock in the evening) - extraordinary.
Well, 1,000 km south of you, it’s dark now. ;-) 21:59. Greeting from Bavaria
I will be ready. 🙂
For the Sesquibicentennial of the USA, I came across a film that is a witty Revolutionary War romcom, cleverly written as a play by George Bernard Shaw. It is called The Devil's Disciple and stars Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas and Sir Laurence Olivier. It is the perfect movie to celebrate USA 250!
Burt Lancaster is the best!
As for Rocketeer, I've seen patron comments the last few weeks, such as "a movie that I adored as a child" and "I loved that movie as a kid." I hope it is good for an old adult who never watched it.
It's a fun action-adventure flick. Us Germans as the bad guys ;-) What's not to like? But I’m curious whether you’ll like it. Guess we’ll know in a few hours.
I hope that it’s a little later. I have a 1:30pm mdt.
Pre-flight checklist for tonight: The Rocketeer ready to stream? Check. Proper streaming service subscribed? Check. Fuel acquired: doner kebab from the local Turkish restaurant ;-) Check. Beverages secured? This is Bavaria. We have protocols. Double-check. Couch secured, imaginary jetpack ready? Check. Everything’s a go. Ready for takeoff when you are :-)
🤣🤣 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm there! First live watchalong!
Of course there’s the age old quandary as to why his legs didn’t burn
Asbestos long johns.
A dear friend passed away this afternoon and I can think of no better way to spend this challenging afternoon than with Cassie & Carly watching a movie that I adored as a child
I'm so sorry to hear that, Joe! Our prayers go out for you and your friend's family. 🙏🏼🫶🏼
Man, I haven't seen this in a minute... I loved that movie as a kid...even dressed as the roketeer for Halloween once. Cast: Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Timothy Dalton and Alan Arkin.
Jennifer Connelly is so perfect. Vision is lucky.
