I found a cool leaf early this year. Looks like camouflage.

You aren't missing much. There's a Nor'easter going on here right now. Lots of rain and high winds predicted.

Other than the fact they switched some people around, there's precious little difference between the finales of the two films. Magneto levitates a structure in order to facilitate his attack (Golden Gate bridge and RFK stadium) on a US landmark (Alcatraz/White House). Magneto uses the Phoenix to obliterate the troops,…

I did not like the Age of Ultron comic event. I heartily dislike the character of Scarlet Witch. That said, I'm there opening day for this.

He retained a small amount of classiness.

Completely agree. I don't see any real difference between Days of Future Past and Last Stand. Neither make a lick of sense and they have the same finale. Since they were written by the same guy, it shouldn't have surprised me.

It was a shitty movie but not a flop.

I own the book and saw the movie and my take-away was that Struzan is a grumpy old dick. He seems like he'd be a serious wet blanket to be around all the time.

It defines itself by a 204 mph top speed, an 11 second quarter mile time on street tires, and the ability to drain its fuel tank in just 13 minutes.

As a film reviewer once said about Kubrick's films, "I'll take cold and intellectual any day over hot and stupid."

I would also nominate Galaxy of Terror (available on Netflix and here on YouTube), which is just amazingly, hilarious horrible and features a cast of B-listers. Have you ever wondered where the Japanese got their tentacle porn fetish? Look no further!

I haven't thought about that movie in a while, but I recall liking it back in the day.

You should totally bet "storm" in the lottery!

So this is the naval version of the old argument of "Which bear is bigger?" The Polar bear is taller and longer but the Kodiak is heavier and wider.

Like Fox News viewers? They are the very definition of sheeple.

"Say Spats, this advancing wall smells delicious! I wonder if it tastes just as yeearrrgh!"

Totally. I *could* buy every new Apple device on day one of its release, but that's a stupid way to go through life. My iPad 2 still works fine, and I dropped it in on the tile floor in Cape Town and in Brisbane a kangaroo batted it out of my hands onto a rock.

Needles today barely hurt. When I was a kid in the 60s and 70s, needles were much larger and they were reused. My mom was a nurse and her least favorite job was filing needles back to a point. They were inevitably dull, rough and often crooked as a result. It used to feel like getting punctured with a trowel. These…

I was going to mention the same thing. I saw this on PBS some years ago and was just sitting there amazed by it. I wonder if people didn't take it seriously enough because, hey, molasses.

I was convertibling around this afternoon and it looks like Nashua is following the same pattern. I stopped in at Edgewood Cemetery to get some photos of the foliage there as it was the most consistent color I've seen so far. But the trees across the street are still completely green.
