    Using typewriters at school

    Ha! I looked it up, and was surprised that the phrase, which is a pangram-- one that uses each letter of the alphabet at least once. This one has 35 letters, and no one seems to have come up with a better one...... since 1885! Okay, everyone run to their AI applications to see if there could...

    What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

    Oh, man! What a beautiful film that is. I could watch Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester in anything-- and I guess I have...:) Laughton was one of the greatest actors of the 20th Century, and he was cooking on all 4 burners in this one. It's not my favorite Tyrone Power performance, but I...

    What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

    I agree! Perfect casting, acting, directing and editing. Some commentary: The Maltese Falcon is one of the great films and also one of the very first noirs. There were a couple of noir films in 1940 --The Letter, and They Drive by Night, but Falcon seems to be the picture that splashed...

    Things you won't find anymore...

    I still have and use one on my '91 GMC Sierra. I'd actually prefer a regular horn, but am too lazy to change it. Once in awhile if I turn the steering wheel, it "ah-ooh-gas"...o_O

    What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

    Unless I've been hallucinating, OneEyedDiva asked me for my opinion of the SciFi film Extinction (2018), but I couldn't find her post. Nevertheless..... TBH I was just about to bail after 20 minutes or so because the story seemed trite, the acting mediocre, and the dialogue semi-silly. But...

    On day 10 of the Iranian revolution, the Ayatollah has fled

    I'm delighted to see the Iranian people rise up and try to get rid of the theocracy, and to then get the type of government that they want. But the U.S. has no business getting involved in that struggle-- certainly not militarily. We can't be the policemen of the world. Just because something...

    A curious aspect of Near Death Experiences

    I wouldn't know about it being part of our brains, but I'm wondering how the experience might tie in with Rupert Sheldrake's explanation of morphic resonance. Morphic Resonance: Research and Papers

    Making a clay ashtray in school

    I don't recall making clay ones in grade school, but I did make one for my mother in metal shop in high school. She used it for years.

    What are you watching on Netflix?

    Thanks for the tip, Miss Diva. Man! That Michael Pena sure gets a lot of work these days. I think I remember him the first time from Shooter (2007), with Mark Wahlberg.

    83rd Golden Globes Awards

    I'm beginning to believe that DiCaprio's best roles are the ones where he's a little stupid or goofy. He seems natural for those, and plays them to a T. As a black comedy? IMO the movie may have been black, bu tit missed with the comedy part. When I saw the picture I knew that the gal who...

    A curious aspect of Near Death Experiences

    I'm not sure what you're asking in the first part. As to the second, Eckhart Tolle has observed that nothing happened in the past. It happened in the present. Nothing happens in the future. It happens in the present. So, "The past never passes" may refer to the fact that the past can't pass...

    Is Katie an Ali McGraw look-alike?

    I hope Miss Katie has more talent than did Miss Ali....;) I did like AM in The Getaway (1972)

    Rick's Cafe still has it

    Yeah, I think they just considered it to be a routing "A" picture, although they had at least two heavy hitters with Bogart and Bergman. I've never seen that preview before, although I've seen the picture probably 10 times. They were playing up the romance angle, but they should have mentioned...
