Halfway thru watching “The Two Towers”, we turned on the subtitles. I wish we had done so years ago. It made us realize we’d missed details all this time.

My wife and I went out to lunch today.
My wife: "What is the quality that makes you want to be friends with someone, TK?"
Me: "Kindness. It's always been kindness. If I see someone acting kind to others, I want to be friends with them."

January 25’s theatrical release of the extended version of “The Return of the King” will be PACKED. No, we’re not watching the whole trilogy in a theater, what with our having just done so at home, but we couldn’t miss out on the chance to see the finale on a big screen.

Bummer… I thought the Twilight Zone marathon would end tonight. Instead it ended early today. Instead SyFy is now showing Sharknado movies. Definitely not an improvement.
