Just watched this myself yesterday. Agreed! I admired the way it dribbled out information piece by piece.

unfortunately it isn't possible to adjust a wristwatch to account for the switch to daylight saving time. there are plenty of hucksters out there who claim it can be done, but the reality is that your watch is now defective and must be discarded in a fresh waterway such as a river or swimming pool

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½ review of The Limey (1999) I've seen this many times but I'm always delighted by how much ground Soderbergh is able to cover in such a short running time. The entire cast is superlative but Luis GuzmΓ‘n is the stealth MVP.

It real good.

The image depicts three men outdoors, with two facing each other closely. On the right, a man with a beard, wearing a blue blazer over a white shirt, holds another man by the shoulders. The man being held has his back to the viewer, wearing a textured, dark jacket. To the left, another man in a light-colored suit, wears a cowboy hat and sunglasses, observing the interaction. The background displays a camouflage net structure under bright lighting, possibly suggesting a sunny environment.

The image shows a person lying on their back, partially submerged in a dark, reflective liquid. The composition is focused on the person's face and upper body, which is covered in a shiny, black substance. The lighting casts soft highlights on the person's face, illuminating their features with a gentle glow. The background is dark and indistinct, creating a stark contrast with the highlighted areas.

Anyone know somewhere local (Chicago) that takes and distributes donations for medical devices? I still have the knee braces from surgery last year just collecting dust in my closet... These damn things cost several hundred dollars each, someone could surely use them more than me
