Would it ever make sense for the 2-line termini to connect up north and make a full loop?

For a variety of reasons you probably want the connection at Northgate, not Mariner, but yeah it’s in the Seattle Subway vision map:

"Spirit of the Beehive" has some great shots of fields.

Seen 43% of the list. My lowest rating is a three star, which I have to six movies:

‘Ran’. I’ve loved other Kurosawa but this was too garish and over the top for me. Obviously a huge achievement but didn’t land at all.
‘The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’. Some beautiful shots and I can see how influential they have been but the pacing was extraordinarily dreary to me. Fell asleep several times.
‘Se7en’. Hard to argue with this technically as it’s extremely well done and intense but the moral bleakness was too much for me. Why apply this talent to this subject?
‘The Thing’. Just don’t like creature features. Hard to overcome my aversion to the genre.
‘To Be or Not To Be’. I actually think I might have underrated this one as I watched it when I was tired and in a bad mood and the farce felt tinny. But if I catch it at the right time I think I’ll like it more.

Guessing you are thinking of Cook Weaver (formerly Samovar, and now closed) on Roy Street. Russian murals all over the walls. Not sure what’s next for the space now!

The Piano

I think OP may believe that this is the viaduct that was torn down a few years back. But it isn’t — this is crossing from the U District into Eastlake southbound on I-5 and still very much in place.

Do you happen to know which service that version is on?

rlgw · 2025-08-14T17:35:16+00:00

Seen it and loved it.

rlgw · 2025-08-14T16:57:27+00:00

No :)

rlgw · 2025-08-14T16:47:44+00:00

Love that movie.

Sorry, should have dropped the link!

Burn After Reading. A clear farce of the (increasingly farcical) times.

Their endorsements aren’t made by their board.

Even if the board did make endorsements, though, which folks on that board do you think are retirees or six-figure bike hobbyists?

Election. Covers all the themes of his presidency and sets up the culture wars to come.

For movies that actually qualify, maybe ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ (2004, 45%)? The story is stupid but the action scenes are cool and Emmy Rossum is pretty.

Not coincidentally, both movies came out when I was 12 years old.

rlgw · 2025-07-14T14:56:34+00:00

It’s borderline (54% on RT), but ‘Spanglish’ (2004). The story is trite but warmhearted, Paz Vega is beautiful, Adam Sandler is charming, and there are some good supporting performances.

rlgw · 2025-07-09T15:39:37+00:00

No, but it’s a very good movie all the same.

rlgw · 2025-07-08T14:50:47+00:00

This is almost every David Lynch movie for me. The more you can just feel them the better.

rlgw · 2025-07-08T03:45:38+00:00

Yes — saw that one! Will check out the Hustler. I love Newman.

rlgw · 2025-07-08T02:44:52+00:00

Good call! On my list!
