I have never seen Haxan either. Must correct.

My watching was exactly the same as that of DR CHAS SMITH....I, too, have never made it through that witch movie. But I got further than I ever have before. I think I got to Part Five.

I love The Man Who Knew Too Much. When I was about 8 years old or so, I was with my sisters and a cousin at a park. While they played, I was reading a book. A boy a bit older than I was stopped and sat down beside me. We started talking and he began to tell me about this movie.....

He was very excited about it. And of course a few years later I realized he was talking about TMWKTM. He finally said: "Just tell you parents to take you to see it!"

As if it were than easy!

Finished a Taylor Jenkins Reid novel called After I Do. Sloppy, cliched and sappy, I couldn’t stop until it was all wrapped up in trite ribbon of mush. I feel I should shower. Or start another.

His name was Dan.

I know because he took off his gold (plated) ID bracelet. When he ran off - home I guess, he forgot his bracelet.

He didn't come back, so I took the bracelet and wore it now and then. So I had an alter ego: Dan.

Yeah, it was never easy, was it? And their stubbornness always produced the opposite effect.

From DR Singdaw:

Watched The Girl in Cabin 10 tonight on Netflix. The second half of the film is markedly different from the book.

Was it better?

Strange dreams of getting some massive 50-DVD Criterion box set of a nonsensical TV show from Japan that was actually a hoax. Diane Keaton supposedly starred and directed in some, though it wasn’t marked which discs were hers. It had you use a QR code that didn’t actually work, but had you calling random numbers in Japan for some reason. It rank up your phone bill astronomically and pissed off the unsuspecting folks on the other end if the line. I was upset because it took me five times to realize I had been duped.

Sorry.

It is an interesting memory.

I recall seeing the movie when it came out. I'm sure I saw it with my sister. I just can't remember if my parents took us or not.

Hmm, maybe my childhood were unusual in that respect. Especially when it came to theater. They'd hear me listening over and over to a Carol Channing cast album, and then I'd find us the next weekend going to see a new play Carol Channing was starring in.

The one that didn't make sense (at the time) was that they thought I was way too young to understand the mature subject matter of "A Little Night Music," so we ended up seeing "Over Here!"

Nice memories DR Freddie.

They were good times.

And those times were about 35-40 years before my brother turned into an active greed-monster.

I went to pick up my prescription and then I went to the FLUX Computer place where I always take my computer to get worked on.

In 2022 I bought a nice used laptop there. The guy had a book that listed refurbished computers so I thought they might have a nice All In One Desktop with Windows 11.

When I rang the bell I was hoping the good guy would come out. But it was the other guy. He told me they didn't have any computers. I said that I got a laptop from a book once - and he said "We don't do that anymore."

So I left and started to get into the SmartCar. It wasn't locked and the window on the driver's side was down. I looked and there was a plastic bin on the passenger seat. I looked at the license plate - and it wasn't mine. Mine was parked one row over....looking exactly the same...weird.
