Featured We, Robot

Yul Brynner start in an early 1970's movie titled Westworld. It illustrated where robots went very wrong. Maybe that was a foreshadow for the movie series yet to come. Terminator

Glad to know I'm not the only nerd that remembers that movie. During my first viewing of Terminator in the theater in 1984 I thought it reminded me of Yul Brynner in Westworld. Yul was the original Terminator. The second movie - Futureworld - was a good show too.

Dangerous like a truck full of explosives driving into Marines barracks in Beirut:
1983 Beirut barracks bombings - Wikipedia

Early that Sunday morning, the first suicide bomber detonated a truck bomb at the building serving as a barracks for the 1st Battalion 8th Marines (Battalion Landing Team – BLT 1/8) of the 2nd Marine Division, killing 220 marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers, making this incident the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II and the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Armed Forces since the first day of the Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War.[1][2] Another 128 Americans were wounded in the blast. 13 later died of their injuries, and they are counted among the number who died.[3] An elderly Lebanese man, a custodian/vendor who was known to work and sleep in his concession stand next to the building, was also killed in the first blast.[4][1][5]The explosives used were later estimated to be equivalent to as much as 12,000 pounds (5,400 kg) of TNT.[6][7][8]​

I understand the Jewish Palestinians got one of organizers recently.
