I do not miss vinyl, but I dearly miss all the trappings that went with 'albums'. Like talent, and vision, and scope. etc

More thoughts on what's in store for the Shōgun finale Full credit to Mrs Tif if this proves true, she offered it up as a hot take today. What if it wasn't Ishido who sent word to Yabu to dispatch the shinobi to kidnap Mariko. There was no written note of alliance from Ishido, after all. Just the re...
RIP
That's excellent.

Our initial tile vendor has been maddening. They were incommunicado, took a combination of around 10 or 11 calls/VMs and emails before the sales person actually returned our contact. They scheduled delivery, and to their credit they brought very nearly all of things we had ordered. There are four ti...

The GDPR and I think CCPA regard license plates as 'sensitive'. Not actual PII, but sort of PII-adjacent. For example, if you see Kylie Jenner getting out of an orange Lambo Aventador on their show and you can see the license plate number, you will know the next time you see it out and about it's Ky...

Classic Movie Weekends continued today with "North By Northwest". My favorite Hitchcock movie, my favorite Hermann score, a Saul Bass title sequence, the best suit in cinema history, Captain Nemo/god's voice actor as the Big Bad, a top-notch blooper, and the greatest visual metaphor ever for an endi...

I don't know if I'd say it sounds 'familiar' as much as I'd say it sounds 'excellent'.
We have a really nice landscaping plan at our house, but I'd like to redo it with native drought tolerant plants at some point.

Checking in on SW is like Ticketmaster. You can be sitting there with the app open on multiple devices hitting refresh over and over again, and when you get through 30 seconds after the appointed time, you're already in Group B with a number in the 50s.

Star Wars discussion (SPOILERS INCLUDED)
I am meeting some friends at Disneyland next week for an After Dark event for Star Wars. They're going on a couple nights a week from now until mid-May or so, DLR shuts down at 8pm and the whole park is given over to Star Wars. Characters that aren't normally part of the experience, exclusive food s...

Is anyone watching We Were The Lucky Ones? It's getting proper good accolades, but it just feels so amateurish. Like the people making it don't understand their medium. Stories are intercut aimlessly. Ad breaks are abrupt, coming on unnatural story beats. The characters are a collection of generally...

Btw, give me the human sized ant. Square cube law… the ant as it is scaled to a human size would collapse under its own weight and not be able to breath due to the surface area to volume ratio of its exterior. It would die just by being the size of a human. As long as you aren’t near its mouth, jus...

They all have memorable scenes and dialogue, but I haven't liked an entire film of his since Jackie Brown. And that was a very long time ago. It's not output that diminishes quality. It's self-indulgence. That's why I think post-9/11 Spielberg is a more successful (in both senses of the word) filmma...

Shōgun ep 9 Akechi Mariko RIP :sad: Interesting to me that this was Crimson Sky. Yabu gonna Yabu. His underworld connections came back to play a role here, but part of me still wonders if there's some other rhyme to the reason.

dodint's Thread of Concerts and Public Events
The last thing we did in the Before Times was The Struts in concert at House Of Blues in Anaheim (on Leap Day) and Disneyland the next day. Two weeks later - Friday March 13, 2020 - was the day all the shutdowns went into gear here, "two weeks to flatten the curve".
