Wish I planned a trip to the tropics this year. When I can I'll take a trip like that in January or February. Last year I was in the Philippines in January, quite wonderful.

I'm in the moderate-major range. Expected 7-13 inches of snow, but also ice and temperatures well below freezing for over a week. Power outages very possible. The grocery store will be a zoo tonight. All-around yuck. 

Be safe and warm Rev.

It's been so hot here today 🥵🥵

It was 51 degrees yesterday, which is odd for Philly in January.

Sunday's gonna be like 18 degrees and we're supposed to get 12 inches of snow.

Stay safe.

We never get that kind of weather here. Temps have been below zero for some time, but there's no snow.

Bad Movies / Re: 46th Annual Razzie Awards

Last post by HappyGilmore - Today at 10:43:41 AM

haven't seen anything, but Stephen Dorff is not a name I'd expect to crop up in these awards

Or Dave Bautista or Ke Huy Quan

never heard of these 2, but I guess no one's immune to the Razmonster

Nobody's immune. Lots of people get nominated for them.

Dave Bautista is most known for playing Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy films/Avengers films. But he's done other films. He's usually pretty good in everything I've seen. Does a mix of action/drama/comedy. Not the greatest actor, but solid.

Ke Huy Quan was Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Data in The Goonies. He took a hiatus but returned to films over the past few years, recently winning a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once back in 2022.

2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA (2025): Documentary following a squad of embedded journalist/footsoldiers as they fight meter by meter to reclaim the village of Andriivka (outside of Bakhmut) during the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive. Not political, just young men dying, wondering whether there's any purpose to it all. 4/5.

Good Movies / Re: 98th Academy Awards

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 09:20:25 AM

I've seen all the best picture nominees and a lot of the others. I'm still catching up on a few, documentaries mostly. My critics' group votes are due tomorrow. Here's how I'd rank the best picture nominees:

1. Bugonia (surprised but pleased this got a nomination; it has no chance of winning)
2. One Battle After Another (good chance of winning)
3. Marty Supreme
4. Sinners (good chance of winning)
5. The Secret Agent
6. Sentimental Value
7. Frankenstein
8. Train Dreams
9. Hamnet
10. F1 (shocked to see it, not a good movie but should win some technical awards)
