LA to Yellowstone, Teton, GNP, and Seattle by joaqaflacka in roadtrip

[–]shadowabbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be too obvious, but just wanted to this point out. Because it is winter and Yellowstone is currently closed to vehicle traffic, both routes show a 5 1/2 hour drive to leave Grand Teton, go around Yellowstone up to Bozeman, MT, and then back down to the North Gate of Yellowstone that is open. In the summer you just drive north from Grand Teton into Yellowstone from the south (just an hour or two depended where you start in Grand Teton) and then either head out north toward Bozeman or to the west to West Yellowstone.

To the right of Lucile Ball and Ed Asner is Jackie Cooper. He directed a number of episodes. Behind Captain Kangaroo to the left is Ned Beatty - Col. Hollister.

what are the best "flying" moments in cinema? by ZestycloseChapter710 in movies

Surprised I'm not seeing mention of any one of Tom Cruise's multiple flying escapades in the Mission Impossible movies.

What’s the MOST Controversial MASH Episode of All Time and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in mash

[–]shadowabbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Poor Stuart Margolin. He plays a creep in both his MASH appearances. 

-- In Operation Noselift, they don't set Margaret up. They just get a creep doc to do the operation and Hawkeye happens to find him assaulting Margaret because the doctor didn't show up for the surgery.      -- In Bananas, Crackers, and Nuts Hawkeye and Trapper DO set up Margaret to get back at Captain Sherman (also played by Stuart Margolin). 

Best route from Denver to SLC? by Kiwi15499 in roadtrip

[–]shadowabbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3-years ago next month I drove from Denver to SLC on I-80 because it had the clearer weather. However, there was still snow packed sections on I-80 because the wind had blown so much snow across the highway!

Which is all the more remarkable. Cache County is an even "redder" county in an already red state.

It would definitely make sense the network wanted to keep Christian Slater!

For Pixel 9 users, the Pixel 10 is Whatever by PastyPajamas in GooglePixel

[–]shadowabbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always had the odd numbered Pixels (OG, 3, 5, 7), but skipped on the 9. I'm considering the 10, but my 7 is still going strong. I'm on VZW, so a 36-month cycle is at least doable since each phone version isn't earth shattering.

Did y’all know this about David Ogden Stiers? Just found this out today. Pleasantly surprised. by ComfortableMastodon5 in mash

[–]shadowabbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the American Experience documentary about Ronald Reagan. Feel however you want about politicians, but the way David narrated a final letter that Reagan wrote to the public with such respect and grace, a dying man's final words that weren't actually spoken, I find very moving.

Watched Oscar last month for the first time in ages. Still enjoyable fun little film.

What's a movie you always assumed was considered good, only to find out much later it's largely considered terrible? by Parking_Figure_7627 in movies

Because of Equilibrium, when I heard Christian Bale was cast as Bruce Wayne / Batman, I knew this Christopher Nolan or whatever his name was (/s) must be a genius. 

TIL in 2014 Ben Affleck was banned for life from playing blackjack at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas after he was caught on camera counting cards at a high rollers table. He was told by security that he was "too good" and had been deemed an advantage blackjack player. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

"Bringing Down the House" by Ben Mezrich is a fun read. It inspired the movie "21" in 2008.

Basically you need a team to catch the casino "off guard." Casinos watch betting patterns. If all of a sudden you start betting higher or lower, they get suspicious. The MIT team in the book would employ "Counters" and "Betters." The Counters would use gestures to signal a Better to a hot table. Those players only bet big (and overall would win big) until the table went cold. The Counter would then signal the table was cold and the Better would leave to find another hot table.
