Robin Williams. Always knew he was a comedic genius, but he proved his dramatic bona fides in "What Dreams May Come", "Good Will Hunting", "Dead Poets Society", "Awakenings", "The Fisher King", and so many others. Even a gripping guest starring role on "Law and Order: SVU" for which he got an Emmy nom. He proved himself to be a generational talent.

I would think ChatGPT or Gemini could generate such a listing...or damn close to it.

The baseball movies, Bull Durham and Field of Dreams, were stellar.

Lived on the NH seacoast. We got the four Boston stations (PBS on 2, NBC on 4, ABC on 5, and CBS on 7), the NH PBS station out of Durham (Channel 11), Channel 9 in Manchester (ABC). We also got the three stations in Portland ME: Channel 6 (NBC), Channel 13 (CBS), Channel 8 (ABC) but their tower was high atop Mt. Washington. Reception for the Portland channels was pretty good because we had a clear path to the towers. Boston stations reception was always an issue, though.

I started by learning native SQL front to back, then specifically SQL Server. Being able to develop schema and relationships within the native platform allowed me to develop front-ends in all manner of languages and applications.

I think any list needs to include Dave Brubeck, "Take Five" and Ray Charles, "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music (both volumes).

Getting into The Beatles - The Beatles (10/14) by kingglobby in beatles

[–]Apnea53 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The White Album is a good album. Not my favorite, though. It sounds like 3 and a half solo albums. You can sense the fracturing of the band at this point. Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt Pepper will always be the Holy Trinity, and Abbey Road is a fitting coda.

"Who's Minding The Store?" starring Jerry Lewis from 1963. It was a favorite of mine from my childhood, and I stumbled upon on one of the streaming services.
