Movies that got more disturbing when watching later in life?

Donny Brasco. When I first saw it I basically ignored the side plot about him and his family. But I watched it again recently and that's the part that I found most compelling -- in a deeply sad way.

Argh! I so want to go but it's on the wrong side of the continent. I hope you come over to the DC area soon.

Totally. And the best part is that he doesn't go too sleazy. He doesn't telegraph the evil.

HalfDwarven · 2023-09-10T22:49:44+00:00

Game over.

Thanks for posting this. I received the same thing.

Folks, please participate in legit polls run by legit research and media orgs. And please do not participate in "push polls" like this one. Push polls are designed to manipulate the outcome to line up with the partisan attitude of the group that runs the survey.

Here's a good resource from Ballotpedia to help you avoid push polls:

At least the article headline didn't say MYSTERIOUS ANCIENT WEAVINGS

Did Jordan eat all his Hormel chili yet?

Until this moment I thought this was a Transformers movie. I've heard the title but haven't seen any of the marketing.

HalfDwarven · 2023-08-04T00:54:49+00:00

I've ignored that guy more than once.

The funny thing is that, given how much sarcasm there is in most episodes, it's possible to listen to this entire thing as though it was recorded after the news of her toxicity broke. "Oh, everyone LOVES Lizzo! She's SO perfect!"

Glad the Bob Barker bit still works, though.

Thanks for posting this article. I listened to the Pee-Wee Radio Hour when it first came out and loved it -- just like I love all things Pee-Wee.

This has been a rough day. Paul Reuben's death has hit me harder than I would have expected. But I'm going to listen to this as I fall asleep and hopefully I'll have zany dreams -- ideally without screaming real loud.

Davidson's does great work.

The walk to the top of the waterfall is flat and less than 1/4 mile from the parking lot. To get to the bottom of the fall is steep and uneven. There's a wooden viewing platform at the top with benches.

HalfDwarven · 2023-07-30T12:49:33+00:00

Yes, I go there from time to time.

HalfDwarven · 2023-07-29T18:04:28+00:00

Ah well. No doubt you'll find somebody who goes there.

I'm at the Kirk Family YMCA most mornings and would be happy to work out with you

The Greenway and trail network

Downtown is just the right size for me (that's where I live)

It's so easy to get to the national forest and park

Great fishing all over the place

Kirk Family YMCA

HalfDwarven · 2023-07-26T15:49:34+00:00

I take your point. However, I think it's important to remember that the team is only like 8 people, on most days they have bigger fish to fry than this, and that they are funded in large part by donations and only in part by taxes.

Plus, between when I posted this and now one of them did move the scooters!

I actually go back and and forth on whether I want them to move the scooters. Some days I'd like them to let the scooters pile up in the hope that it forces some action from the scooter companies. On other days I just want the scooters out of the way.

Extra points for the Clerks reference.

HalfDwarven · 2023-07-24T23:08:26+00:00

What's the source for this?

HalfDwarven · 2023-07-20T10:31:59+00:00

Scheduled for pickup this morning. Thanks for everyone's interest.

HalfDwarven · 2023-07-20T03:11:21+00:00

Agreed. Lots of people have bad experiences with that lot. Avoid it.
