From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light
That gets in your eyes
One moment's high
And glory rolls on by
Like a streak of lightning
That flashes and fades
In the summer sky...
Rush - "Marathon"

I had to go outside after dark last night for a few errands that came up late in the day and absolutely had to get done, and I discovered that Roland Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow is a documentary

The Knives Out films have produced a very specific reaction in me; the first viewing where I'm very happy I get to watch Benoit Blanc again, and the immediate second viewing entitled "how the hell did I miss that clue, I was looking right at it, I'm very stupid"

Some Rob Reiner movie memories of my own (thread)
1) Spinal Tap: I'm a guitarist from way back, and the "don't touch it, don't point at it" bit about the rare guitar is not even a little bit satire. I personally know people with climate controlled rooms in their houses for expensive guitars.

New data reports that LGBTQ+ people — especially trans & nonbinary people — have been forced to make significant changes to their daily lives, confirming the real-world harm that anti-equality politicians have on our community.

Growing up I read The Lord of the Rings once a year. When The Fellowship of the Ring came out I took my future wife - who knew nothing about the books - to see it in the Art Deco balcony of a beautiful old-timey theater. She was entranced by the story and couldn't stop talking about it for days.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Amid Greenland dust-up, Denmark says US is a national security risk
