Last post by Alex - January 06, 2026, 12:32:45 AMHad to ditch one of the Autism groups I've had started following. 90% of its posts were about autistic kids that had wandered off by themselves and died. I understand the need to raise awareness, but this was relentless. These acknowledgements might be for someone who had died recently or had done so years or decades ago. I don't know if it was friends or family sending the details or what, but reading these obituaries every day wasn't helping me in any way and I don't think their are any words that I could say that would make anyone who did know the victim any.
Six days of snow now. I've seen heavier falls in other areas, but for Lossie this is a lot. I wonder if its part of climate change or just an off year. Our street isn't too bad, but the main one running through the estate was basically a sheet of ice from one side to the other. Guess I'll be doing to penguin waddle getting home in that. Schools were closed yesterday. Today they are opening late (the high school is only opening because volunteers gritted the long path from the road down to the school.

As most of you know, I was a fan of Rush Limbaugh in his living years.... But there was one thing I really couldn't stomach....
As a music lover, sometime in the early '90s, he discovered Mannheim Steamroller, and their new Christmas album...
I couldn't understand his excitement, I'd already lived through Harold Faltermeyer, Jan Hammer and dozens of other synth rock bands of the 1980s....
But Rush would play the same two or three songs all throughout every show in December, then to the very end...
For me, January didn't just mean the end of the holiday season, but also, no more Mannheim Steamroller for the next eleven months!

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by indianasmith - January 05, 2026, 08:09:31 PM28 YEARS LATER (2025) - I watched this the other night with my daughter and found it to be the most enjoyable of all the 28 YEARS franchise thus far. All of England is under total quarantine, and the Infected run rampant. One small group of survivors has formed a colony on a small island off the coast, with a causeway that is only exposed at low tide. But they still visit the mainland regularly to forage for supplies. Enter young Spike, about 12 years old. His father is taking him on his first foraging expedition, leaving his sick mother at home. They barely make it back from the expedition, but the boy learns that there is still a doctor living on the mainland who might can help his mother . . . and so the quest begins. Very well done film! 4.5/5

Last post by M.10rda - January 05, 2026, 08:06:55 PMTHE HANDS OF ORLAC (1924):
I skipped this for many years, figuring if you've seen at least two versions of this story (w/ one of them being MAD LOVE) you've probably seen them all. Then it occurred to me: the director (Robert Wiene) and star (Conrad Veidt) of CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI made another horror movie - why am I not watching it?!
Well, indeed you can't do it much better than the Lorre/Freund masterpiece, but this was worth watching once. Even in a more realist milieu, Wiene's impressionist sets and lighting are... impressive! And Veidt looks like he's having a really good time staggering around striking poses and regarding his hands in abject horror. At least I hope he's having a good time... it would be no fun for a method actor to play Orlac.
The plot gets a little carried away with itself and the penultimate twist, which is similar to one in MAD LOVE, really strains one's credulity. (MAD LOVE somehow gets away with this by just asking the viewer to commit to Lorre being a complete insaniac and thus throwing scientific plausibility to the wind.) But the final twist here - which seems different from other versions I've seen - is pretty clever and actually more disturbing for pulling an "Orlac was totally overreacting the whole time" switcharoo.
3.5/5 Good enough for 102 years ago!

Last post by Dr. Whom - January 05, 2026, 05:38:58 PMNude on the Moon (1961)
Way back when, when we were still downloading stuff by dubious means from the internet, I got hold of a version, but that turned out to have no sound. Now, nobody watches Nude on the Moon for the dialogue, but I thought I'd experience the thing as it was intended.
This is one of those 'the title says it all' movies, much like Snakes on a Plane or The Creeping Terror (although the last one is not much of a terror, though it certainly is creeping). The whole story is beyond ridiculous, and the less said about the acting and production values the better. However, the charms of Doris Wishman and her troupe make up for a lot. It also has the silliest spacesuits in the history of SF. Still, I must admire the cast for keeping a straight face throughout the filming.
