  1. train tickets finally came online today...Paris to Basel, Basel to Milan, Milan to Florence. i have the app but i think i'll print paper copies before we leave just in case. because old and paranoid lol 😄 first class seats upstairs Paris to Basel as The Man in Seat 61 recommended, looking forward to the views of the Alps! we have just over a two hour 'layover' (is that the train term?) in Switzerland so should have plenty of time to get lunch and explore the station. now need to buy Florence to Rome, although those seem to be about like Southwest flights Austin>Houston>Dallas, i.e. very frequent and all day. not as likely to sellout as the high speed/crossing borders rides i would guess. for some reason buying the train tickets makes it more real...this is really happening! 😀
  2. i'm not crying you're crying
  3. yeah, i yelped lol. this show has gotten really good. that Munster mission was... something else. incredibly harrowing.
  4. ETA La Marseilles scene reminded me of this one.
  5. i get this one, but i think by then i'd read the story at least five times so it didn't have quite as big an impact as it would have otherwise. i mean that was pretty much peak King. which reminds me...i wish someone really good would take another shot at Apt Pupil...i didn't hate it bc the acting saved it, but it didn't have the same kind of impact as Shawshank and Stand By Me. /endderail
  6. oh man...i really miss Gene Hackman in movies!
  7. haha thread started as some sort of 'oh aren't i clever' gotcha and now i'm imagining the originator like this 😄
  8. ok i lied, another... or this one, not sure which was better...
  9. yep, i was about to say we haven't even touched Scorsese or Spielberg yet. some great gotdamn movies in here! i had the exact same reaction to that Philadelphia scene as Denzel.
  10. ETA in case you don't want to go to YT, the bottom one is when Marcellus and Butch meet Maynard and Zed. and The Gimp.
  11. nm i could have sworn he won for Birdman but apparently not 🤨
  12. i chuckled a couple times ep1, not at all ep2...but multiple lols this week. nice bounce back 😆
  13. anyways, i don't think he'll be back bc there is no logical counter to how he 'feels' 🙄
  14. now...cabal! cease and desist the neg-bombing! you're being so toxic with all the negging to obliv...wait....oh.
  15. well. at least this will reduce the number of new Alabamans brought into the world.
  16. similarly, i don't usually give 🤘 to those i know aren't Texas grads.
  17. yeah i feel like he took over in the depths of the pandemic, not anywhere near the conclusion 🤨
