Synchronicity! I’m rewatching all the Roger Moore Bond movies and this one is next in the queue.

If I were to say to you, "I am a stranger traveling from the East, seeking that which is lost"...

The only issue of BA that I own. I bought it mainly for the cover.

A scene from β€œO Brother Where Art Thou?” where Homer Stokes is being run out of a gathering after racist speech and admitting his participation in a racist organization.

Way too many Americans missed the message that this is how you handle racist folks in government. Or anywhere, for that matter.

It was…John Barron!

I had to almost fight the optician to get regular old bifocals. She kept extolling the beauty of no peripheral vision and having to rotate my head when driving, but I managed to get my ugly bifocals. I’ve had a really good experience with them.

Reading a book and the thought comes to me: β€œAll things serve the Beam.” They really do.

Always loved the Squadron, both Sinister and Supreme.

Barrett never got the love he deserved, IMO.

Just popped in to say thank you for sharing such beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing and brightening my day!

Very surreal to read about the Venezuelan operation while listening to the soundtrack from They Live…

Happy Birthday! I’m grateful we have both the Tony and the Jenny years. There’s so much to celebrate about both.

I hope you can take some hope in the words of a stop-animation Fred Astaire from over 50 years ago.

Love and peace to you. ❀️

Narrator: Well, as time went by, that changed (being an outlaw). You see, the Meisterburgers...they kind of died off and fell out of power. And by and by, the good people realized how silly the Meisterburger laws were. Well, everybody had a wonderful laugh and then forgot all about them. Yes, sir.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by everything that’s going on in America, and are fearful of the future, here are some words from the Rankin & Bass classic β€œSanta Claus is Comin’ to Town” that I heard afresh last night:

"The Twilight Zone" The Changing of the Guard (TV Episode 1962) ⭐ 8.2 | Drama, Fantasy, Horror 25m | TV-PG

Just caught an episode of the Twilight Zone I’d never seen. It’s simple but powerful, with a reflection on the impact of a life on others by a retiring teacher.

With my own retirement coming soon, it got me in my feels. Good stuff.

This Christmas has felt like it’s a pivot point in time. There are so many changes coming that Christmas will likely look different next year for our family. I’m simultaneously trying to be as present as possible and withdrawing internally. I hate it.

I love that Kurt’s disguise is basically Errol Flynn.

I was *obsessed* with this after getting my hands on the movie adaptation comic. Never saw the movie until Disney+ had it, and I wasn’t disappointed. Love old BOB.

Bobby Hill from β€œKing of the Hill” on a pink tote bag saying β€œThat’s my purse! I don’t know you!”

An early gift to myself. Not a big tote bag kind of guy, but I couldn’t pass it up. One of the few times crossing the threshold of Hot Topic was worth it.

Star Wars Ring Theory: The Hidden Artistry of the Prequels. How George Lucas used "ring composition" to reach a level of storytelling sophistication in his six-part saga that is unprecedented in cinema history.

I actually liked the new ones. The derivative nature of both the prequel and sequel series is discussed here and I kind of like it. A little academic but I still like it.

Nope, it’s Frank Chiarmonte. I obviously can’t read.
