Tonight's Stinker
Supersonic Man (1979)
https://youtu.be/-cx8aMRQqvQ?si=IOwgbQoWUP0RK9mK

Aliens give a blue skinned bodybuilder a new set of tights & send him to Earth to stop mankind from using a new superweapon... Meanwhile, an evil mastermind sends his soldiers and and a robot to steal radioactive material & kidnap a scientist.... The next day, a private eye is watching the scientist's daughter on television, so he borrows a line from Star Wars & turns into Supersonic Man & rescues her from some henchmen.....

Low budget Spanish knock off of Superman.... Got a few giggles out of it.... Most of the explosions, sets & miniature effects are respectable for a low budget movie of the time.....

THE LAST LION (1972)

The sound person on the film was killed by a lion.
The star Jack Hawkins died before the film was released.
The trainer of the lion was arrested on a charge of murder.
The films composer died before the film was released.

😔😔

It is on YouTube if you want to see it. A good film if you don't know the backstory.

I've seen PETRIFIED WORLD without riffs (long before the MAB screening) and you're absolutely right not to consider revisiting it. One of the dullest movies you'll ever encounter.

Got woken up this morning sometime between 4 and 5 am to get told my sister-in-law had been arrested. My first thought was "What has K___ done now?", but it turned out to be H___, who is one of the more sane and centred people I know from the US. I was even more shocked when I heard exactly what she had been arrested for. Her older son's were both out of the house at the time, but the two younger daughters were at home when it happened. I can't imagine what kind of effects that is going to have on them short term.

She's been released. I understand the offence is being treated as a misdemeanour with additional bits stuck on (I was told the exact term, but my brain didn't choose to retain that particular piece of information). Anyway, I've suggested the family completely lock down their social media. I hate to think what's going to happen when the kids go back to school though.

It's been snowing for two days now. It isn't deep, but with Kristi's condition, I have to make sure she is as safe as possible. Normally, when it starts snowing, I'll go out and grit our paths and the street outside our house, as well as any neighbours who can't do it for themselves (at the end of our street for example we have a couple with a disabled child in a wheelchair. Her husband is out on a deployment. I did leave a bit of a trail of grit behind me, so my route to and from the streets grit bin is very obvious.

The long-expected US strike on Venezuela has finally taken place. Hmm. That is going to force a lot of countries to reconsider much and not just in either of the first two ways you'd think. Glad all that s**t isn't my kind of problem right now.

Hopefully the path I've cleared is still clear when I get home. The grit bins are good until you get down to about minus 5, then its too cold for it to work (partially why I like to get it down while the snow is still falling and before the temperature plummets).

Quote from: Leah on January 03, 2026, 06:50:36 PMDoes that make what happened good? Really now, if you're going down that route then tell my why it's good. No mentions of past presidents, I don't want you to deflect from the question.
Who said That?
