Imho, Jami Gertz is an unsung star of Twister. Her role is done SO well. A great film made better by her performance. The scene in the rain is spectacular.

Watching #Rollerball (the '75 version). I'm again struck by how easily we could fall into a corporate controlled world like in the film.

Or goes on a string of bank robberies (Gollum and Clyde).
Or pondering his existence (or lack thereof) in a two hobbit performance of Waiting for Gollum.
Personally I hope we find out that what Gollum was doing while wandering about looking for the ring was either solving a series of cozy murders (Precious We Wrotes) or performing in an incompetent hobbit amateur dramatic troupe (The Ring that Goes Wrong)

Just watched the Nats game. Thinking back to the draft, I cannot fathom how drafting a stud pitcher with the 1st overall pick doesn't happen. I know everyone is not Skenes (mileage may vary), but come on. It's almost like you want to move the team to Miami.

Went to the Turtle hospital in the Keys recently. Fascinating tour and very informative. Would recommend. It’s a good place to support.

This was brought to my attention a while back (sadly can't remember by who)
We know it gets colder the higher up you go ... see snow on mountain peaks
So why did Icarus' wings melt when he flew too close to the Sun?
