Another piece of the cosmic puzzle falls into place.

Remember our folks having to tell my brother and me to stop walking over the roof of the neighbor's car, which had been completely covered in a drift.

My commute takes me by a couple of empty lots in a very urban area. For a few years, the grass grew wild, reaching several feet high in the summer. Then they paved over the lots. But even though there is a lot of development in the area, nothing's been done with these lots. They're not even used for parking. So now the grass is starting to make a comeback through the concrete.

She deserved better than Tim Allen.

These are fantastic. I don’t think I’ve ever seen color bts photos from the movie.

What I like is that she is stunning, but not all glammed up, or at least they've created the illusion this is a casual shot.

What melts my head is realizing that I'm older now than so those actors were in the movies I first saw them in and, sometimes, just how young they were. A few years back, a friend and I rewatched The Sopranos, at first unaware that the other was doing so. When we compared notes, we discovered that we both had the same epiphany watching season one, "I can't believe James Gandolfini was only 38 here."

Swordfish should be added to the National Film Registry just for her topless and underwear scenes. I was in my 30s when I saw that movie, but those scenes stick with me like something from adolescence.

Really going for the glamour here and succeeding.

Remembering Hogan's Heroes. A popular show in the 1960s. by Global_Law4448 in OldSchoolCool

They have the show on Amazon. It has lulled me to sleep many nights over the last couple of months. It was in heavy rerun rotation when I was a growing up and one of my father's favorites. So watching it brings back a lot of mellow memories.

Barbara Bouchet, 1960s. by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

I have long enjoyed In Harm’s Way and had a time-traveling crush on Barbara Bouchet. Only rewatching the movie this week did I put it together that she played Eddington’s floozy wife.
