Weirdest film? The pathetic Thundercrack: too much porn, too much poor acting, too little sense, involving an old dark house, a circus, a gorilla, and too may horny people acting badly and behaving worse.

Hi, DR John G!

I like weird. Therefore, I like weird flicks. Or however the saying goes.

Freaks
Terror of Tiny Town
Eraserhead
Pink Flamingos
Repo Man
The Apple
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (or were the last two merely awful?)

I never got to see that William Shatner movie filmed in Esperanto. That is probably weird.

I wanted to adopt half of those senior dogs. And I don’t really want a dog.

I haven't seen the Sgt. Pepper movie since the night in the summer of 1978 that I was sitting through it at the Plitt (because someone had given me a pass), wondering when was it going to be over.

I would actually now watch it again, just to experience it and see what I think now. These eyes and ears have certainly learned how to take in things they rejected decades ago, so who knows. But probably DR John G. is right and it's just merely awful.

Cooking question, DR John G. I love roasted brussels sprouts. Do you think it would work to roast bags of frozen sprouts?

Any other DR, feel free to chime in!

Sure. Why not? This recipe says do not thaw first.

Today is the church conference. We are doing it by zoom this year, of course.

This should have been our week to visit Disneyland while we would have been in Southern California.

They might be better than fresh because you don’t know how old the fresh are.

The best sprouts I’ve ever eaten were harvested that day. The difference is amazing.

I’m sorry you can’t be in Disneyland.

Today’s epic is Seven Samurai. I haven’t seen it in ages, but it’s long been a favorite of mine. The Criterion blu-Ray is gorgeous.

Well, I expect the next time we go it will be a completely different experience. We'll get to see it through the eyes of a child, when the magic is real.

Good Morning! Last night, I got a LOT of packing done, while the movie of "Flower Drum Song" played in the background. Such a great movie.

Today, I'm taking boxes of music that I packed up last night to my office in the loft of the church which is where I'm keeping all my sheet music. This is remove things from the apartment. Hooray! I might get a run in to the storage unit as well, we'll see how the day goes. But it's more packing etc. I got the NTV (notice to vacate) email from the apartment complex, as well as the guidelines for leaving the apartment. I'm glad I have a few extra days to be in the new place and still be in the old place so I can clean the place up.

Speaking of the new place - looks like I'm finally getting a walk through on Thursday - I've seen pictures etc... And it looks like I'm getting my keys on November 24, which is awesome. If only life can stand still for the next few weeks so I could concentrate on that. Oh well, it will get done!

Today is a sorting day for us, as well. This week we reduced from two cars to one. The DH is mostly retired, and I am working from home. With the pandemic, we're not going anywhere, so we decided to trade in my car. It's unbelievable how much stuff accumulates in the cars. We're going through and sorting out duplicate equipment and tools and glove box paraphernalia. It's survival of the fittest!

We are half way through I Am Greta on Hulu, a documentary about the teenage Swedish environmental activist. Highly recommended.

T.O.D.

Sorry, I don't remember the weirdest movie I've ever seen.

These days, I have trouble remembering the movie I watched yesterday.

Druxy · « **Reply #55 on:** November 14, 2020, 10:24:36 AM »

I just finished watching THE MOB (1951) with Broderick Crawford.

Excellent gangster movie. I've seen it many times, including in a theater when it was first released, and it holds up very well.

Great supporting cast: Richard Kiley, Ernest Borgnine, Neville Brand, and (un-billed) John Marley and Charles Bronson.

Well, that was interesting.

Lots of old people trying to figure out technology.

Luckily, I have done church on zoom and other meetings on zoom over the last several months. But some people were having a terrible time.

It took such a long time to do anything. But luckily that used up the time that they ordinarily have to try to fill.

There's still an afternoon session to go, but it will be all reports. All the business items are done.

Sounds like me all too often.
