Random Thought Thread

1:49 in the morning and all is well. How are you fine folks doing?

 

The Mist was on cable.

I wonder if it bothers Thomas Jane that he just barely missed out on being Aaron Eckhart.

Or vice versa.

 

Possibly the least-bad Stephen King movie. Or maybe that should go to Carrie...

 

D: "Dollar Tree" is always over a dollar here.

There should be more vegetarian options. Just saying.

 

I saw both Carrie and Christine when I was possibly a bit too young, so I'm pretty partial to them.

When I saw the miniseries remake of The Shining, and the topiary animals attacked, my wife blurted out, "Look out, Iain, the broccoli is attacking!"

Nearly pissed myself.

 

Ha.

Have you seen the new It? I watched it expecting to enjoy, because a friend raved about it. She got a bit upset when I asked if the comedy was deliberate.

 

Saw the first one, read the book, saw the new one, and...

Well, that's just never been one of my favorite King stories I guess. Not bad, just, well, kinda meh.

 

Yeah, that was just on the wrong side of stealing the title and nothing else, unlike Lawnmower Man.

 

Anybody remember this one from the playground?

Sh*ts on Harry Potter, sounds disgusting, can't believe I read that at 14. Passed around the same time as the Omen books, and Jaws with its rude section

 

Missed that one, wonder if it's worth getting on another watchlist for?

 

I read this one when I was much too young; even now, forty-odd years later, I'll see something and finally understand a reference from it.



There are no rapes in it, in case you're worried.

 

FIVE YEARS OF NIGHTMARES

 

This is my brain in the morning.

 

Can't get my eyes to focus today. Sight's been deteriorating for years now, but still a little disconcerting

 

We have the technology to rebuild 'em. Stronger, faster, sighty-er.

On a different note, my phone's weather app is predicting temperatures of six below for the early hours of Thurs morning

And before you Canadian's jump in with your -23s, that's fucking cold for us Brits!

 

Yeah, you guys deff have a complaint. 40 with a 35 windchill is not worth bitching about.

 

So much for it being warmer down south.

 

Moose's house the tomorrow morning.

 

Sea was beautiful down at Scarborough North - seen from the castle/the cliffs - a carbon copy of Saunton, rip running up right side. Three foot swell, I’ll drag a plank down there. Applied for job with fish firm. Imagine if I get on the boats - dream fisher...or ship’s cook?

 

I don't understand temperature myself. Sometimes I can be freezing my bollocks off, walking round the house in a woolly hat, and my phone tells me it's 7-8 degrees. Then other times, like now, it's -2 according to my phone and I've just turned off the fire cos I'm too hot.
