Back in January of 1996 when I was 12, we got blasted with 30 inches of snow.Quote from: HappyGilmore on January 23, 2026, 02:39:53 PMWe're expecting, last I heard, 8" -13" , and a bunch of ice.
😳🥶🥶🥶
Yeah, we got that one year when I was like... 14 or 15 I think? This was in Michigan, I just remember it being the one time the snow was so bad it was literally impossible to leave your house for a period of several days. The snowbanks from plowing were like 5+ feet tall.
Where I'm at right now, looks like we're getting about a foot. On a personal level, my work place shut down Saturday and Sunday in advance, and I am selfishly a little sad the storm didn't hit during the week. But really, for the safety of everyone this is probably best, as there won't be heavy commuting during the worst of it. There's still a real chance I might get Monday off though.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - January 24, 2026, 10:42:51 PMCHARADE (1963):
Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Walter Matthau, James Coburn, and George Kennedy are all chasing a quarter-million dollars of Nazi gold in this fun and fairly classy twist-filled mystery/comedy/romance/thriller directed by Hepurn-whisperer Stanley Donen. It was a big hit and the same screenwriter then went on to pen the similarly twisty (and disappointing) MIRAGE (starring Matthau, Kennedy, and Gregory Peck) and then the similarly twisty and totally batpoop insane ARABESQUE, also directed by Donen and starring Peck and a bunch of actors in brownface.
I arrived at CHARADE in reverse, following the two movies it made possible, and specifically on account of ARABESQUE. That was kind of like watching MULHOLLAND DRIVE or INLAND EMPIRE and then checking out BLUE VELVET out of curiosity: CHARADE is probably a better movie than ARABESQUE, but also CHARADE is just kind of quirky at times though mostly straightforward whereas ARABESQUE is figuratively and sometimes literally an acid trip. Donen and writer Peter Stone clearly gave zero f***s about coherence while making ARABESQUE and were just swingin' for phantom windmills. In comparison, the only truly oddball/inexplicable thing about CHARADE is that the unearthly 34yo Audrey Hepburn keeps aggressively throwing herself at largely dismissive and uninterested 59yo Cary Grant. Yeah, I know, he's Cary Grant aka "Jay Kelly"/George Clooney etc but it's still implausible and kind of off-putting.
Other than that, though, very nicely made and entertaining, and even tense in a couple spots.
3.5/5
Hepburn was really quite something. Grant is still perfectly amiable and fun in spite of the forced romance bits, but he only made a couple more movies then hung it up for the last 20 years of his life.

She Devils on Wheels (1968)
https://youtu.be/jkvglNHlpdw?si=DdjQSsfdJmuZbayy
And boy, what a stinker! Plot? What plot?
The Maneaters, an all female biker gang gets together for a race, & the winner gets to pick out her stud for the evening..... They go back to their pad & mayhem ensues, but the next morning, there's an issue with one of the girls wanting to go steady with one of the studs (against the rules)... Later that night, they force her to torture the boy she likes....
Then there's the matter of one of the girls completing her initiation....
At the halfway point of this movie, an all male hot-rod car gang tries to take over the abandoned flat top they use to race..... The girls kick their butts, the guys swear revenge, & some semblance of a story emerges....
The sound in this print drops out several times.... Lots of scenes of riding & love-ins to stretch out the runtime.... A plot point about one of the girls (possibly the others) living a double life as a girl next door is mentioned but never delved into....
Ends abruptly..
