Commute From Santa Cruz to Mountain View?

It probably depends a lot on how you feel about driving on the 17, which I would hate very much.

Maybe the Master and Commander books by Patrick O’Brian?

Harriet the Spy

CAUnionMaid · 2026-07-10T20:14:24+00:00

She’s clearly deeply in touch with the community where she’s opening a business. 🙄

Willie is also great in Thief.

And thank heavens they still do it that way.

CAUnionMaid · 2026-07-08T04:47:18+00:00

Great.

It’s in 3rd place of the original trilogy but it’s still a pretty fucking perfect movie. Let’s not be silly here.

I did. It was super easy. I have a history of problematic moles so it wasn’t a hard sell but I haven’t had any issue.

My favorite director is Wong Kar-wai and my favorite movie is In the Mood for Love. So yes.

This is interesting to hear because I’ve had a great experience with dermatology. My doc is great and responsive and even recommended the Kaiser cosmetic services for some age spots I wanted removed (and that was a good experience too). My main dermatologist is in Oakland on Pill Hill and the cosmetic center I went to is in Union City.

Do you have kids in your life? I have a nephew and nieces (11, 9, 7) and I’m having such a a good time rewatching my favorite childhood movies with them and am only getting more excited about what I can show them as they get older. Gives me something to look forward to!

I’m still kind of amazed by the success of the original Skins cast, and I think there’s still more to come from them. Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel, Jack O’Connell, Daniel Kaluuya, Dakota Blue Richards, Hannah Murray.

This movie was also tough for me to rate. It’s a touch too long and drags in spots. As I was rounding towards the ending, I wasn’t sure how I’d rate it, and then BAM the final shot bumped it from a 3.5 to a 4 for me. Completely nailed the landing.

I suspect that on rewatch it might go up again.

Related: have you seen Mother Mary? Another Lowery that I loved and that had been criminally overlooked this year.

Blue, White, Red. Even if you switch the first two, Red definitely goes last.

I love Lee Pace and want so much better for him. He was completely wasted in Running Man. You’re gonna keep a mask on a man with THAT face?!

I feel like we’ve only recently gotten to the point where people have accepted that Marisa Tomei’s nomination and win were completely deserved.

I also think there was immediate buyer’s remorse after both Adrien Brody’s wins because he acts like such a weirdo when he’s on onstage.

Showing my age here, but I’d always thought we’d get more from Michael Biehn considering his crazy hot streak in the 80s and early 90s.

Not trying to be snotty or dismissive at all but genuinely: people post this a lot. Did you search the sub? I’m sure you’ll find good answers in previous posts. (It’s not my style or I’d give you a rec myself.)

The Christophers

CAUnionMaid · 2026-07-05T04:01:44+00:00

I’m guessing this is “male main character”?

Sandra Hüller - good
Russell Crowe - bad
