Don't Stand so Close to Me.

Well, let me see. Oh yes, lovely. Lembas bread. And look! More lembas bread.

Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, "What did you do in the great Coronavirus Panic of 2020" -- you can say, "Well, I was a tailgunner on a Charmin delivery truck."

Someone's not watching enough TV. The Walking Dead, Orange is the New Black, Downton Abbey, Feud, The Strain. . . .

There is so much wrong with those lists I don't even know where to begin. The comment about throwing jellybeans at squirrels was funny though.

I am constantly amazed by the number of people who think this is a good movie, so why should I be surprised that some would believe it to be true.

Looks to me like he just wants a piece of tail.

The U.S. Exploring Expedition is one of America's greatest accomplishments. It put us and our navy on the map so to speak and directly resulted in the creation of the Smithsonian Museum. Nathaniel Philbrick tells the story in Sea of Glory: America's Voyage of Discovery, The U.S. Exploring Expedition, 1838-1842. Philbrick is an "accessible" historian in that all his books are easy to read and understand. This one is on my list of required reading for high school. The Amazon link above will show all his works. I can also highly recommend The Last Stand and In the Heart of the Sea, the latter of which is also a movie you may have seen. But I digress. The Smithsonian has digitized its collection on the expedition and Philbrick wrote the introduction. You can read it and explore more on Smithsonian Libraries.

Excellent list. You also picked an excellent lead-in to the article. Silent Running still holds up. I also have the Director's Cut of Donnie Darko. 5 stars.

One of my all time favorite movies: The Shootist - John Wayne/Jimmy Stewart. My introduction to Laudanum.

Since they've had to do this for a good reason, there out to be some video. Love to see this in "action."

I bet Rick Astley struggles with Lent. . .

I think Guillermo del Toro did a good job on the Creature From the Black Lagoon with The Shape of Water. And if you have access but haven't seen the BBC/Netflix Dracula series you should. Awesome retelling.
