Last call!
I’ll have the porter, thank you. Season’s right for it.
Hey, I liked “Labyrinth” & “Ladyhawke”!!! The ending of the last one was KILLER!
I listened to This American Life once, from their site: “Producer Sarah Koenig’s mother lives by a set of rules about conversation. She has an actual list of off-limits topics, including how you slept, your period, your health, your diet and more. You don’t talk about these things, she says, because nobody cares.”
Do you guys have things that you could add or agree with?
Interestingly, Koenig tried to persuade her mother to change her mind, and I remember that an astronaut talking about sleeping in space was actually interesting to her. She hated talking about dreams though.
Agreed, Ladyhawke was a most excellent movie!
Why is the name of Jesus’ father spelled G-d? That has puzzled me since I joined.
Some religions don’t want it spelled out.
