    What was the last TV show you watched?

    More Gotham, season one. Great that memories of individual episodes faded just enough. Great hearing the Sex Pistols' "New York" in the background in one scene.

    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    I heard a rumour that Hitler died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on 30 April 1945. Crazy, I know, right?

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    One of the understated greats. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/entertainment/movies/news/quantum-leap-paris-texas-star-dean-stockwell-dead-at-85/ar-AAQuS0p?ocid=iehp&li=AAggNb9 I have been watching Dean Stockwell for over forty years. His character in the Battlestar Galactic reboot was brilliant.

    Clean Jokes

    "Ya know, in the first world War, Germany made a real gutsy move in choosing an enemy. You know, THE WORLD. You'd think that Germany facing, you know, THE WORLD, the war'd be over in like ten minutes, but it was actually pretty close". Norm Macdonald

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Not yet enjoyed, but my wife ordered a "pandemic pack" of wine from an Ontario winery. Hard to believe but our first ever wine delivery. Both boxes clearly marked " DRIVER TO ENSURE DELIVERY TO A PERSON 19 YEARS OR OLDER" ( drinking age in Ontario). He waved back at my 13 year-old daughter as...

    Blade Runner - The Final Cut

    A human body can take considerable punishment. And not every punch loosens teeth. These "is he or isn't he" discussions are my one nerd hobby! (Star Wars vs Star Trek and Kirk vs Picard, etc., leave me empty). The correct answers though are Star Wars and Kirk...

    Blade Runner - The Final Cut

    He seems pretty battered and injured in every version I have seen! His fingers broke rather easily, and he needed saving from the edge of that beam by Batty.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Working on the 15th and final season of Suoernatural with the girls. Almost caught up to where the wife and I had watched it live. I am working on Gotham, a reviewing, as my wife gave the series collection on blu-ray last Christmas. Just enough time has passed since watching it live that it...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Eldest and I out last night to see Dune. Mum and youngest away at a basketball tournament. Really enjoyed it, never having read the book or having seen the earlier flick. Ending just right for a film meant to have a second part vice sequel, Canadian director Denis Villeneuve planning to film...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A belated Hallowe'en Horror night, as our crammed schedule caused a backlog of missed films. Horror as in fun, with an opening act of TV, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, followed by Hocus Pocus, one of our favourites. We understand a sequel is in the works. 28 plus years later! The...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Piney has taken his last real rid. William Lucking, perhaps best known for his role in the first few seasons of Sons of Anarchy, has died, aged 80. I first knew of him, albeit not knowing his name, from his small role in Stripes, as the recruiter who takes in Bill Murray and Harold Ramis as...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    In Letterkenny country (rural South western Ontario)***, we often hear "how are youse doin'"? To which I always reply with a smile "we's doin' fine". ***

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Drive, from 2011, Ryan Gosling, Albert (Einstein) Brooks, Bryan Cranston and Carey Mulligan. Wife had not seen it in yonks, whereas I have it downloaded onto a laptop and so have watched it several times while away on temporary duty, but always a good watch.
