  1. He's my favorite local weatherman since Yeomans left. His FB page is a great follow.
  2. This NY Magazine article from this week is so disturbing. It has a trigger warning and even so, parts of it were hard to read.
  3. Watching this, I was most surprised at how slow-moving the fire was and how almost casual everyone seemed (I know they weren't actually casual) - I always imagine scenarios like this happening really quickly with everyone running around like crazy trying to evacuate. How horrible to see it come at you slowly and still not be able to stop it.
  4. That's an amazing use of that poem. I didn't realize it was Kipling at first - thought it was a woman, actually. The way he reads it, it sounds musical, like the key changes several times to get higher and up the tension. Here's an embedded version.
  5. My cousin in Homer went to leave this morning and found this guy outside her front door. She went out the other way.
  6. If the place you're staying doesn't have full sewer hookups, then you usually drain the hose into a septic tank and then empty the tank at the designated dump site before you leave the park. This was pretty common back in the 80s and 90s when we first started RV camping. My dad's rule was that we weren't allowed to take a shit in the RV toilet if the park we were staying at had a public restroom, unless it was the middle of the night or an emergency.
  7. Someone on Vulture called him that and I stole it. I've been meaning to watch Train to Busan and now I have another reason - thanks!
  8. Not sure if we're spoiling but just in case
  9. Eggers is definitely who I think of when I think "atmospheric" these days. He absolutely nails the gothic horror vibe. The acting is superb. All that said, it moved a bit slowly for me (it's very rare that a horror movie should go past 1.5 hours, IMO) and I have questions about the plot. I've never seen the original and maybe that's why?
  10. The Lighthouse is definitely the weirdest of the three. It's in black and white and has almost a fantasy vibe in some places. But Dafoe and Pattinson are incredible together. I'm glad Pattinson suffered through the Twilight movies to build up the name recognition that got him into great movies, or at least, movies where he can be great even if the rest of the plot doesn't quite work. Going to see with my 16-yo today but he and I have seen loads of horror together, so I'll just give him a heads up.
  11. I just watched this last night. Acting was great, of course - the casting was impeccable. About the ending, though:
  12. Fluff n'Tuff are the absolute best in this area (for stuffed toys). I recommend shapes that don't have a lot of limbs/tails - my favorites are the caterpillar, the beach ball, and the football. I have extremely heavy chewers and some of these toys lasted for months.
