Just watching #MurderSheWrote

It's just occurred to me that no matter how many people she helped get sent down, none ever came after her seeking revenge after being released.

Guess a life sentence was 30+ yrs.
Or they all died in prison.

Great quote from Disney animators re the shortcomings of their version of Alice in Wonderland.

“Peculiar actions and visual gimmicks can hold an audience only for a limited time,” the animators go on to say, “and there is always a problem with the continuity once that crucial point has been passed”

Michael D left the Aras today after 14 years & 2 terms as President of Ireland.

As an Irishman abroad for those two terms, I was proud to have him represent me, & wish him well.

His lifelong advocacy for human rights & social justice,especially in his last term,was a beacon.

Ah, just finished this on DVD.

it's been a while since I've watched it, but my daughter's reactions as the suspense built on their first watch was great to see!

REAR WINDOW was released 71 years ago today. One of the most enduring Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, and among the most popular films of James Stewart and Grace Kelly, the story of how it was made might give you the feeling you’re being watched…

My daughters & I have an online playlist for the car, to which we all add music we like.

Today they were treated to this absolute banger by #TheBlades from c.1985.

Spin class but it's the coin-op jet wash at the Murco against the the countdown timer. Competitive fitness for middle-aged men. Out of town drive-in warehouse, 30 jet washes, big screens. There'd be a league table. Franchise opportunity. Link in bio.

Lately my reading has consisted mostly of biographies & autobiographies, which I've thoroughly enjoyed, but feel in the mood for more funny, fictional stuff.
Anyone got any good recommendations? 📖

What a finish, didn't see that coming at all at all!

Well done #AlanCarr, you've played an absolute blinder and just established yourself as a national treasure at the same time.

Brilliant telly, well done to all the competitors, great show.

Genuine question:
Why would a mainstream artist release an album in digital format, but not in cd/vinyl for another 3 mos? Esp. in the run up to Christmas?

I'm under pressure from the family to come up with Xmas gift suggestions...
