I'm going tomorrow to see a screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey on the big screen for the first time, so if I'm here on Thursday going full conspiracy theorist on the moon landing being fake, you'll know why.

A bizarre alien craft is found floating adrift, crewless, with zero indication from where or whence it came, but a corrupted flight log and a poorly functioning navigational system hold clues that point to nefarious Malignant operations in, 'Retracing Steps in a Blizzard'

I made a new social media icon!

This image is actually directly referenced from my own face. Yes, that is me.

Kinda warry to even post art into the digital realm with the constant scraping of media for terrible AI technology. Yet here we are.

The Navy vs. the Night Monsters (1966)

A movie primarily known for having a terrible title and very unimpressive killer trees. Hoverer there is more to it, like padding footage where a bunch of random duces just kinda discuss what's going on, and a terrible "Wrote ourselves into a corner" ending.

Problems aside, it's not actually a poorly made movie, more like an okay movie with a bit of good suspense, that got too many studio thumbs in the pie and turned into a mess.

Do you like tattoos?

It's kind of a vague question... like, do I like illustrations in any media, including skin?

Well, yeah, of course I Iike illustrations, regardless of media, including skin. If they're accomplished with skill and artistry. More so if I like the subject matter of the illustration. In fact, because an x-son in law of ours was a tattoo artist, I'm quite opinionated about contemporary skin illustrations.

Admittedly, I don't have a tattoo, have never considered getting one, and I'm unlikely to get one.

I came of age in a time when the only people I knew who had tattoos were World War II vets (both older cousins who fought in the Pacific) and Holocaust survivors (first way I ever saw a European style seven with the line in it was on a neighborhood kid's mom's tattooed numbers on her arm).

The screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey was awesome. Even with my eyes not completely healed, I was still able to see detail I've never seen before. (I never even noticed Leonard Rossiter played one of the Russian scientists!) It was like a whole new movie. There were several shots that made me think of the recently deceased Bill Anders. And the sound was amazing. Even better, the audience was so well-behaved! (I think they were just as rapt as I was.)

I hate to add more items to the old bucket list, but now I really want to see all of Kubrick's films on the big screen. (Barry Lyndon, amirite?)

Also, NGL, it was just really nice to get out of the house for a change. Reminds me of the old days when I lived near the mall and went to a lunchtime matinee every other weekend whether it was a movie I particularly wanted to see or not.
