Joe (2013)
I've seen all three and now own The Host and Joe on dvd. Winter's Bone I confused in my mind with another movie I can't recall the name of, but I looked it up and remember seeing Winter's Bone. All...
Today would have been Paul's 83rd birthday.
I thought it was amusing and I hadn't seen the meme before. Most of the really long concerts I have been to were by the Grateful Dead. Three hours seemed to be the minimum they would play. I've...

I like what I have heard of them, but I only have two of their albums. Looking forward to hearing more.
Last night we watched Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One (2023). Night before we watched John Wick Chapter 4 (2023). A combined 6 hours of adrenaline rush. Guess we should find something...
Just started Exordia by Seth Dickinson. A Science Fiction novel in which the earthling protagonist meets an alien on Earth. The first chapter is the only one I read so far, and it is well written...

"Supertamp" just made me think of Maestro Cooder.
Not Forever But For Now - Chuck Palahniuk
Isn't a metal pole the same as a lightning rod?
Drunk Parents (2019) - a comedy critics didn't like, but the wife and I got a lot of laughs. Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek. Viewed on Tubi.
White Lotus Season 2 - enjoyable show. Viewed on dvd.
Thanks. I always wished an unbiased news platform existed. Now I know that it does.
Some articles do not open with any information that relates in any way to the headline. Do they not have editors any more?
I've seen that before. I quit reading any article that includes quotes from social media. It's not only irrelevant, it's annoying. I eventually quit reading the website that has such articles.

You got that right. A typical half-hour television local news program has 15 minutes of commercials, 13 minutes of nearly information-free weather, and 2 minutes of human interest stories passed off...
'Tis true.
The weather.
The Flash - I had given up on Marvel and DC comic superhero movies, but I read that this one was good, so we gave it a try. Decent entertainment this time.

Past Lives is interesting. You will have to brush up on your Korean and Mandarin, or else use your subtitles. It is what they are for.
Sorry. Too many space rituals.
Let me know what you...
Past Lives (2023) - a drama about a boy and girl who grew up as childhood friends in Korea. The girl immigrates to Canada at age 12, and then moves to the US. Years later, the boy, now grown and...

Last week I tried a Wolf Pack Pale Ale by Brewer's Cabinet (Reno, NV), named for the University of Nevada's sports teams.
Today, in the wonderful weather of Fake Summer, I had a...
I always liked this one:
Well, who do you think you're foolin'?
You say you're havin' fun,
But you're busy going nowhere,
Just lying in the sun
You tried to be a hero,
Commit the perfect...
You got that right. A shame. I can still remember seeing Supertramp in concert in April 1976, right in the middle of the string of the four best albums they ever did (Crime Of The Century[11/74],...
I wasn't aware that there was a remake of Fahrenheit 451. I have only seen the 1966 original film, and of course, read Bradbury's novel. Bradbury's words of warning may be more important now than...
Watched a movie on Tubi called Kill Me Three Times, starring Simon Pegg. An Australian hitman murder comedy from 2014 that I somehow didn't hear about when it came out. Good one.
The smart part of these devices is certainly not that function. I, too, trust my eyes and nose more than I trust a message from an appliance. The only food I have ever seen go bad before or on its...
I liked The Lobster, but it's been a while since I saw it.
That's OK. It knows how to use you (or anyone, not just you specifically). That is what they are designed for.
Do I sound like I'm wearing a tinfoil hat?

Welcome to the club.
It is sad, considering how easy it is to count out change, once you know how. Maybe no one is teaching these kids basic math. I know that doesn't apply to all young people, just the ones that hate...
Got to see this one tonight. Very much enjoyed it. Barbara Steele's eyes, wow!
Also watched the sequel, The Ghost, but realized we had seen it before. Still good.
...
Pig is a good movie. See it when you can.
I don't think I've seen The Horrible Dr Hitchcock. I have at least one Barbara Steele/Mario Bava movie, Black Sunday (1960). Good horror flick.
It does look like A Quiet Place Day One would be good to see. I note that John Krasinski, who directed A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II, is listed as one of the writers and not as director of...
My only experience with audiobooks was back in the days when they were on cassette (I don't know what they are on now; I've never seen a digital audiobook). They are great for long drives, being...
Oh, no. Rest in peace, Damo.
Sounds like a great idea for a story. I look forward to reading it.
I agree. But the list contains a bunch of movies I haven't seen, and hopefully some are worth watching. I've read enough Lovecraft to know something "Lovecraftian" when I see it. Almost all movies...
A list for anyone interested in Lovecraftian films:

Watched a library dvd called Resurrection (2022). A creepy psychological thriller about a horrific past and a descent into madness. If you are a fan of the genre, or of the talented actress Rebecca...
OK. Not prog. But Black Metal odes to winter don't get much better than this:

Had some Carlsberg Pilsner recently. It had been years since I had any Carlsberg, due to a combination of not seeing it around, or having too many other brews I wanted to try. Anyway, Carlsberg is...
That is the album I often put on when I can't decide what to play next. Never disappoints.
We watched Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 on dvd. The library dvd was weirdly messed up in that it was set to play on a screen much larger than ours, and the setting couldn't be changed. But the...

That's fair. I didn't see any trailers, don't know whether it played at our theater, and had to wait 4 months for the library to get the dvd to me. I figure any evening when I can laugh during...
Watched Starsky and Hutch every week in the '70s. Rest in peace, David Soul.
Last night we saw Renfield (2023) with Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as his assistant, Renfield. Very funny, and bloody, but not horrific movie. Many of the dvd extras were funny, as...
