    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Having grown up during the '60s, I'm probably biased but I thoroughly enjoyed Pirate Radio...that was the second viewing for me. Just watched Letters from Iwo Jima again. Excellent film.

    Just finished re-watching The Pacific, followed by Letters from Iwo Jima, so now I'm reading Eugene Sledge's With The Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa.

    12 degrees, wet and very windy...you sure knew it was Fall today! Some of the trees are changing colour already. It's a pretty awful evening for today's Nuit Blanche event here.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm with you on Longmire...been watching it from the beginning. It won me over the moment they played Steve Earle's Transcendental Blues over the opening credits in episode 1! The new season's on netflix, which I don't get, so I'll have to wait for it to trickle down to one of the stations us...

    September 17th, 1949, S.S. Noronic, the so-called Queen of the Lakes, caught fire in Toronto harbour. Of the approximately 700 people on board, around 120 died in the fire (the final death toll was never accurately determined). Many of the passengers were Americans, on a Great Lakes cruise...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Fear The Walking Dead lost me half-way through the second episode when I realized that the main characters were just too irritating for words. It was pretty slow, but I expected that. One does have to develop some empathy with the characters, however. Just wasn't happening. Looking forward...

    What Are You Reading

    Just started Ross Macdonald's The Drowning Pool. I've never read anything by this author, though I'm aware of his reputation. Enjoying it so far. I also just found a copy of Goodis' Shoot the Piano Player. This one is in the line up.

    Today in History

    Today marks the anniversary of one of the most significant battles ever fought in North America: the Battle of Quebec in 1759. Though I'm not usually given to 'what if', it is interesting to speculate what would have happened if the outnumbered British had lost that battle.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Blue Jays at Yankees, second game of a double header. Both teams must be pretty worn out after already playing an 11 inning game.

    Bogie's best movie?

    Tough to choose, but I'd certainly include Key Largo , Treasure of Sierra Madre and The Caine Mutiny, but I'd also include the one film that no one ever seems to mention.... We're No Angels. A 22-year old may enjoy the last film. It's a good natured comedy and it's in colour. Bogart was...

    Some like it hot-I don't...

    On Labour Day it was 33C. Today, it's 15C and drizzling. I'll take 15C over 33C anytime! Light coat, fedora and scarf weather.

    What was the last TV show you watched?
