  Why are you apologizing to me...??   I am sorry I didn't know sooner.  I am glad to hear she is on the mend.

@southwest1  I have not been on here much lately.  I had no idea your mom had suffered another heart attack.   I hope you are doing okay, I know your family has been through a lot these past several months.   My thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend.

Thx Gramz. I appreciate it. I just meant that sometimes I think I explain myself adequately or sufficiently & then I re-read what I wrote days later, scratch my head, & laugh. 

My incompetence not yours BTW. That's all I meant by my further elaboration. It's all good. 

Great idea!

Colts put the fun back in colts football today

Good solid football!

Jack gets promoted to the POTUS. Hades yeah! This is gonna be like Harrison Ford's "Get off my [Air Force One] plane" on steroids. Sweet! 

It airs on ABC at 9 PM CST BTW.  

I plan on watching 'Designated Survivor" I like Kiefer Sutherland and the trailer looks good. Thanks for the reminder. 

I liked the plot/premier. Sutherland looked odd in those glasses, but I'll get used to it. So far so good. 

You're right TS. Spiderman keeps being made over & over again by Marvel Studios. It's definitely well beyond overkill now. I agree 100%. 

I really enjoyed 'Spiderman 2' starring Kirsten Dunst & Tobey Mcguire as the 2 main love interests & Doc Oc as the villain. Good flick actually. 

Yeah, I know. Marvel is going overboard with the webbed wonder though. To answer your question TS, yes, Hollywood is running out of original ideas. Or, to be blunt, all they care about as an industry is profit & the easiest way to make a killing at the box office is re-treads & remakes, which are crap & devoid of plot, but young people & comic geeks by tickets in droves. 

I just saw 'Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice' recently distributed by DC Comics/DC Pictures. Man, is this picture pathetic. Wow. Good actors in it too [Jeremy Irons, Lawrence Fishbourne, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Holly Hunter & Amy Adams] & still a dismal picture with over 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back. 

It's so bad. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Chief nemesis is just atrocious.  How can you assemble high quality actors & give them such an amateur script? Sigh...Nothing is smart, sexy, or funny at all. 

Okay, to be completely candid here. I do have a thing for actress Amy Adams. It's not on the same level as say Zoe Saldana, but it's high or right up there. 

I just get bummed when Jeremy Irons & Lawrence Fishbourne 2 guys with iconic voices are given lame, filler roles. 

I do like breaking down train wreck movies, but I'm not sure the new Bateman movie deserves the roast job SW1 would give it. I'm mulling it over. 

You guys should hire Rob Ryan.

I don't think so. Don't know if Ryan just isn't very good or worked with the wrong team. He does have nice hair, though.

At 1 time, I thought Rob Ryan was a very skilled DC, but now? Let's just say my enthusiasm for him in that capacity has wavered somewhat. Rob will never grow bald though.

Thanks for the heads up!

You're welcome! it has just recently been advertised, but wasn't sure if how many found out.

it was AWESOME!

I dreamed Packers/Steelers SB twice!!! Actually would love to see them have a second go at it, very entertaining the first time around. 

A Packers vs Bills SB you say. Do you remember who the play by play announcers were in the broadcast booth in your dream TS? Just curious. 

SW1, I don't know who the announcers were, and I didn't recognize the voices. I know it was in Houston because I used to live there, and the setting was familiar. That's all I remember in the dream.

Amen!

Sweet. That co-worker of yours must truly be both a saint & an angel. I hope you enjoyed watching the game TS.

I didn't know she had a new book.  That's too bad.  Rice can go on and on and on about things that you don't care about.  I remember one book where she wouldn't stop taking about the wall paper! That said, I loved the Vampire Chronicles so this is disappointing to hear

You could try reading it; maybe you would like it more that I did. However, this isn't the same as her former Vampire Chronicles. This is kind of a mixture of science fiction and gothic. Much of this book relies on the explanation of cells and genetics. Depends on your interest in those kind of things. 

What's your favorite King novel? Just curious. Or book to movie adaptation? 

I have several favorite novels: "The Stand"; "Misery" and King's newer book, "Revival". 

As far as book to movie adaptation: "The Stand" miniseries. The film "Misery" wasn't quite as good as the book, but Kathy Bates hit it out of the park as far as acting. I also liked the movie "The Shining." 

Bob Dylan I adore.......always and forever. Good for him.

And I did hear Rod Stewart was over the moon on being knighted. Like he was shocked and just so damn excited.

Like me some Rod at times too.

Whoa, Rod Stewart got knighted by the Queen? Not too shabby.

Patrick Stewart, the actor who played Jean Luc Picard on the TV series 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' talked about the process once. The most alarming thing is the invitation comes with no fan fair & could easily get thrown away as ordinary junk mail or shredded if a person isn't careful. Also, that you must bow to the Queen & not speak aloud until she formally addresses you the honoree personally. 

weird dream, but painter is a free agent last I checked

So you basically relived 2011 in INDY again. Another deja vu nightmare eh TS? Painter was okay in meaningless preseason games, but struggled when games counted for real.

She's a pretty good actress, I like her in the X Men films. 

I haven't seen it  yet but Floki is one messed up guy. Rollo turned into a pretty bad guy.  I didn't see that coming

I saw Jack Doyel on TV this am commenting on that.  He said he was dieing for a reporter to ask just that question, even though he knew full well Peyton wouldn't answer it.  It's what they do

I've heard great things about this show. Never watched it. But, we have talked about trying it out.

Never did fantasy football or got into it. Many over the years have asked me to do it as well and I just never did it lol.

Maybe I will some day?

Without Talib Denver isn't the same. He is the vocal leader and intimidator of that team and can cover anyone by himself. Von is the best player but Talib is more vocal. Anyway I agree, this has been 1 of the best weeks in my fandom sports history with the Cubs winning the WS, Colts beating Aaron Rodgers, Pacers destroyed the Bulls Saturday, and the Titans and Jags go down in flames.

The Raiders are mesmerizing to watch right now. Derek Carr & company are flowing & definitely playoff bound this yr TS. 

RIP indeed... Oook

I hope your basement didn't get flooded Teganslaw. Water damage can be a real pain in the neck, especially if you live in a flood plane & you can't get flood homeowner's insurance.

Thanks for the recommendation TS. I admire individuals who still read books in the 21st Century for leisure as opposed to say forced occupational reading alone that is. 

Hey there TS, 

Thanks for your views on "Blacklist". Out of respect for you, I need to checkout that show & give it another whirl. Perhaps, I was too hasty with my first look at it. 

Me too
