Weather worked out for us in Texas, but it was touch and go. My son took a cool time lapse with his phone that gives the idea.

We are going to Dallas area to visit sister-in-law plus see eclipse. 50/50 chance for cloud coverage, so we are crossing our fingers. This will be my third full eclipse after Oregon in 2017 and Europe in the late 90’s.

It fit there.

But Ambidextrous wouldn’t fit!

They showed two different trailers for this movie before my showing of Dune 2 this weekend. Got a sarcastic reaction from the audience.

The aftermath.

We got a lot of rain over the last few days, but last Thursday was the craziest. Like Mark’s OP, we got a crazy amount of rain in just 45 minutes. The bottom of the canyon below our house was reconfigured by a flashflood. We had a 20 ft wide rampaging river running in what is normally a 6 ft...

There are too many movies!!!

My brother did that with all of our family 35 mm slides that my dad took through the years. He scanned over 11000 photos in about 5 months, also with a quality Epson slide scanner. The rest of the family was most appreciative.

OP2: Even Oppenheimier! Part One

I haven’t seen Sing Street but I adored Once. I’ll probably try to make time for Flora and Son this week.

Another one here who feels fortunate not to have caught it yet (as far as I know), despite two close calls in the last few months. In May my son brought it home from school, eventually infecting both my wife and daughter. We were a COVID household for almost three weeks, but I managed to...

We have tickets for EQ3 tomorrow at 3 pm. Only 2 other people had pre-ordered seats as of Saturday night.

Oh? What’s tomorrow’s score?

We got steady rain for much of the last 24 hours but the wind never got bad. The big storms we had in January were worse.

Why would I want to buy your wishlist on 4k blu?

Another one here who can’t see a post’s header info. The text and background might s well be the same color. I use light style.

Just catching up with the thread after seeing the movie yesterday with my family. I enjoyed It tremendously, but was a bit surprised by the reaction of my 13 year old daughter. She is the biggest Spidey fan I know, having absorbed Spider-man in all of his various media incarnations over the...

May the Force ghosts be with you.

Hell, just put what we can see on TV up on a scoreboard in the ump‘s line of vision - the white strike box and the pitch location.

Another crap umpire ball/strike call kills an exciting Dodger rally in today’s game. Should have been 2 on and Freddy Freeman coming to the plate, down a run. But the ump decides to end the game on a called strike three (on a 3-2 count) when the ball was clearly way outside. What is Mookie...

My family has been dealing with COVID for the first time over the last two weeks. My son brought it home from somewhere. Ironically, he tested positive on the day the WHO ended the world health emergency. Three days later my wife tested positive and three days after that my daughter tested...

Glad your feeling better Terry.

Airborne activity… cows?

Holy cow! We can’t get to the electronic strike zone quickly enough. Dodgers down a run in the bottom of the ninth, got one man on. All three outs were strike outs. All third strikes were actually balls, according to the k-zone on TV. David Peralta on a 2-2 count with a pitch that just...

I have it on parental authority that my first movie was When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth. I don’t actually remember this. First ones I remember were reissues of Sound of Music and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. All of this ca. 1970/1971.

I saw an exhibition of Fantasia in Fantasound at LACMA in the ‘80’s. It was pretty remarkable. Must have knocked everyone’s socks off when it was first released.

Raising Arizona. I find that movie endlessly entertaining.

We bought a bidet toilet seat for our powder room when toilet paper was scarce in the early pandemic days. Now we are believers. Put another seat in the kids bathroom and now contemplating a full Japanese style toilet for our master bath (not the $26,000 model).
