Good Movies / Re: Recent theatrical viewings

Very cool. I saw SAVE THE GREEN PLANET and yet the plot will remain new for me.  I dunno, I anticipated STGP eagerly and then didn't get it at all when I watched it. Emma Stone sounds like the missing magic ingredient...

Eh, it's in media res for those of us who have seen the origin story a few times. Superman's cousin Kara will be back in her own movie next year.

The Wind (1928) - Lillian Gish moves from Virginia to West Texas and starts having a bad time immediately. It's too windy, her adopted brother's wife hates her, and all the guys are schlubs. The genre is western/ romance but it's more like western/ depressing. The wind machine is constantly going. They even have to interrupt a festive barn dance to retreat to the basement to wait out a passing cyclone.

Not the greatest print, but Gish still looks good and it's an interesting sort of scenario. I just wish it had been a little more fun to watch. It mostly survives on it's melodrama and Gish's long hair.

Cuomo won all of Staten Island. Curtis Sliwa won some little island that I didn't know existed.

Today, I'm wondering if the upright standing dinosaurs didn't run, but rather, hopped like kangaroos.....

I bet they did. The small, agile ones. Nova did a computer generated simulation of a T-Rex moving and it suggested Jurassic Park got them wrong, they didn't run so much as shuffled, and rarely had to hunt because a species that dangerous could just show up and take another creature's kill, like lions often do today.

One thing I really dread about a Spanberger administration, Is that the last time she won, she continued for months putting out specious ads trying to convince people she wasn't screwing things up!

Today I'm making chocolate-bourbon flourless torte and watching leaves cascade in the warm breeze of an autumn afternoon while Led Zeppelin (I.) is playing, contemplating that every recent major election has been decided by the support of a block whom one might term the stupid.

the trailer for GHOSTBUSTERS absolutely petrified me as a kid.
