How is it even possible to stay in character for 127 takes? don't know how actors do it as that would have driven me as batty as Jack Torrance - the final scene in the movie was excellent though.
This scene took three weeks to film, with 127 takes. Shelley Duvall later spoke about how difficult it was, and even said Jack Nicholson was so damn scary. Watching it now, you can understand why. The Shining (1980)

Movie #161 - Lassie - Peter O'Toole who was in Lion in Winter - 'She's trying to get home like she did before' - Calling Part 2 of my Oracle of Cujo The Book of Lassie, starting with this 2005 remake of Lassie Come Home, no Elizabeth Taylor this time but Lassie is still the GOAT.

Movie #213 - Pulp Fiction - John Travolta who was in Bolt - 'I'm trying real hard to be the Shepherd' - Would be in my top 5 best movies of all time, the non linear story telling is brilliant, the acting is impeccable from the top shelf cast and the characters are unforgetable.

M0vie #214 - The Garfield Movie '24 - Ving Rhames who was in Pulp Fiction - 'In case you were wondering I do my own stunts, me and Tom Cruise' - Good Dog: Odie - The Bill Murray one actually is better but it's still an entertaining movie about Garfield reconnecting with his Dad.

Call me crazy, but stuff like Dan Bongino telling people to get a 30 supply of food and emergency supplies (for what exactly?) seems a lot more relevant than Obama's joke about the fracking Cheesecake factory.
There are warnings going out about 30 days of preparedness… take them seriously 🚨 “Get your stuff today. Please. Do it for your family!” — @dbongino

Yes, everything is going great in America...but stockpile a 30 day supply of food and emergeancy supplies just in case..... 🤨 aren't these the same folks that bashed Democrats for the Covid lockdowns (which actually occured in 2020 under Trump)
Today is October 28, 2026 - the border is CLOSED, the streets are SAFER, we’re BUILDING things in America again, and Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States of America. 🇺🇸

lol - That really would be the cherry on the sundae if Coyote vs Acme gets nominated for best animated movie - a Rocky style success story.
COYOTE VS. ACME has officially been submitted for consideration in the Best Animated Feature category at the Oscars. 🏆 After years of uncertainty surrounding its release, Wile E. Coyote might finally get his moment on the big screen. L

Right out of the Trump playbook - you didn't vote for me so the election must have been stolen - but accusing the Arabs of stealing an election in Israel takes some Mount Everest sized Hubris.
הליכוד: הבחירות במדינת ישראל נגנבו על ידי מפלגות ערביות שתומכות בטרור ובחיסול המדינה היהודית באמצעות עבירות פליליות חמורות של שוחד, איומים, אלימות, זיופים ושימוש בתוכנות אסורות להמרצת מצביעים. מפלגת הליכוד מעבירה למשטרה, לשב״כ ולוועדת הבחירות מאות עדויות וראיות על גניבת בחירות בקלפיות ערביות רבות- אלפי מעטפות עם כסף מזומן ופתקי רע״ם, איומים ואלימות כלפי חברי הקלפי, ריבוי מצביעים מאחורי הפרגוד, הצבעות בזהות כפולה, פערים בין מספר המעטפות למספר המצביעים, שימוש בתוכנות המרצה אסורות ועוד. אנו דורשים מהמשטרה ומהשב״כ חקירה יסודית בגין גניבת הבחירות על ידי המפלגות הערביות ומיצוי הדין עם העבריינים. אנו דורשים מוועדת הבחירות התייחסות מיידית לחקירת העבירות הפליליות הללו שפגעו באופן קיצוני בטוהר הבחירות בישראל ובתוצאות הבחירות. זו פגיעה חמורה בדמוקרטיה הישראלית ובזכות הבחירה של אזרחי ישראל. גופי האכיפה מוכרחים לפעול ביד קשה ובאופן מיידי.

I mean wasn't Freddy Krueger's origin story that he was 'cancelled' by the parents by burning him alive and that was when he started haunting the dreams of teenagers? I don't watch the Freddy movies much but canceling Horror movie villains for being horrible seems kind of silly.
Lmfao TikTok is trying to cancel Freddy Krueger and it’s trending. I knew this day would come.

Yeah, about those California is going to wash away into the Ocean predictions I heard when I was in high school...🌊
The ocean is threatening homes in Southern California. 🌊 Near-record king tides are flooding coastal neighborhoods, and more flooding could be on the way in the coming months.

Translation: Trump will accept the results if Republicans win, but he won't accept the results if Democrats win because Democrats aren't allowed to win elections.
Q: You will accept the results of the midterms, whatever happens? Trump: I will if they're honest elections

So FOX News acknowledging Trump made the White House look like a Chessecake factory? 🤨 cause Obama was mocking Trump not the restaurant and is th Cheesecake Factroty really where blue coller workers hangout? always thought it was where elites go to get a $7 slice of Cheesecake.
MacCallum: The Cheesecake Factory comment goes exactly to why Democrats lost the middle class, why they lost blue-collar voters. Because it's kind of a guns and religion clinging kind of comment and it turns a lot of people in this country off

Obama saying the White House looks like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake factory and Trump demanding Obama produce his brith certificate are not on the same level of divisiveness, one is a joke the other is racism, that people think they are equal is why we we are where we are.
I've made this point about Obama fans a number of times. Many truly are oblivious to the condescension, and they assign very ugly motivations to those who aren't. Trump's rhetoric is far more divisive, of course, but that doesn't erase how others conduct themselves.

Were Trump and Netanyahu separated at Birth? 🤨
Netanyahu: They are trying to steal the election from us!

The only reason I know the Cheesecake factory exists is because Penny worked there on the Big Bang Theory, then they banned TBBT from usung their name so I was done witn them, what business turns down free advertising? and yeah amazing how Republicans always find a shiny object.
The Cheesecake Factory stuff is a really good encapsulation of conservative discourse during the Obama era for folks not old enough to have experienced it. Endless whining and mind-loss over something they wouldn’t even notice if someone else said it. Eight years of that!

I would just assume it is another EBS test, who would ever believe it was the real thing?
I think we’ve all been desensitized to the point, that if they actually tried to use the Emergency Broadcast System, none of us would believe it. It’s all so fake and gay.

I lived in a self-contained neighborhood growing up where we knew or were at least familiar with all our neighbors, so I never felt the need to go outside the neighborhood on Halloween, but not every neighborhood was like that even back in the 'good ole days.'
I feel for kids who will never know what it’s like to run wild through their neighborhoods on Halloween. I thank God often for the gift of knowing what it was like to live in an analog world, with neighbors who knew and trusted each other. It angers me, how quickly it dissolved.

Yeah some think Daylight Saving time extends the amount of daylight during the day when it does not, the Sun is out the same amount of time no matter when you set the clocks, so just get up an hour earlier if you want more daylight in the Winter, it is healthier anyway.
Really think people just don't understand that between the fall and spring equinoxes there are more hours of darkness than sunlight in a day no.matter how you set the clocks

Permanent Standard time is the way to go - look at it from a Republican standpoint - wouldn't productivity go down with permanent Daylight Saving time - who wants to start working in the morning during the Winter when it is still dark outside?
Does thinking about the time change already have you tired? Well, it doesn’t have to be this way! My Sunshine Protection Act would end the back-and-forth. It’s time to get this common-sense legislation across the finish line!

I have no issue with changing the clocks twice a year and never understood what the big deal is, but living in the Northwest if I had to chose between them I'd pick permenent Standard time cause in the summer it's daylight until 10PM and I don't want it dark at 9AM in the winter.
President Trump is urging the Senate to vote immediately on making Daylight Saving Time permanent, saying Americans want more evening daylight and an end to changing their clocks twice a year. “TAKE A VOTE!” he demanded. The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act 308–117 in July, but it remains stalled in the Senate.
