Hey guys! How are you? I know it hasn't been an easy start to 2025 as we watch the devastating fires unfold. It is breaking my heart and I have just felt this non stop pit in my stomach thinking about all of those who lost everything. I keep making mental notes on what I would grab-ink prints of my babies footprints, letter my mom wrote me when I was a teenager, grandma's recipes, my kids comfort animals and blankets. Even thinking about this now is making my heart ache for people who didn't even get that kind of preparation. Project Hope and LAFD are what I have found to be reputable places to donate. I have also contributed to individual go fund me's. It's so much, it feels overwhelming to know where and how to help. I saw something that said "do one thing for one person you wish you could do for everyone" and that helped a lot. Do the next right thing. Is there anyone here in our kernel community that have been affected?
This week for movies we have Gladiator (switched it last week with conspiracy theory) as well as Crocodile Dundee II and Star Trek:Beyond. A lot of strong men in my life ;) Next week will be our Poll Week and I will watch all three winners from the 3 Top Requests Poll! (And yes once you download the results there were true winners...by 3 votes) You sneaky little guys trying to tie those up! Not saying I won't watch the runner uppers, but top 3 for sure next week!
The Extra Butter Live this month will be on Monday the 27th at 7pm-ish. More details as it gets closer! The 4TH ANNUAL POPPIES WILL TENTATIVELY BE THE FIRST WEEKEND IN MARCH!
Carly and I's newest podcast episode was random but very fun and I am loving reading through the patreon comments on all your REPORTS! Patreon Link, YT Link
Ok guys, hope you are having a hibernating January, hope you are safe and you are all the best!

2025-01-20 20:20:23 +0000 UTC[nerd glasses on] It's technically an 'alternate adaptation,' NOT a remake, since it's based on material from another medium. [nerd glasses off] š¤
Byrd N. Hand
2025-01-20 15:28:23 +0000 UTCHow about instead she watches the film in third place, Rocky Horror Picture Show. I mean if sheās not going to to watch True Grit that would be the next logical choice.
Richard Maurer
2025-01-18 20:56:15 +0000 UTC@Maisie- Yes she has.
Mike Lemon
2025-01-18 00:14:02 +0000 UTCHas she seen the one with Hailee Steinfeld and Jeff Bridges?
Maisie
2025-01-17 23:37:58 +0000 UTCWhy would she substitute a movie ranked 280 for the runner-up in the 101-200 poll? Especially when she hasn't seen the runner-up.
Mike Lemon
2025-01-17 21:22:56 +0000 UTCCassie mentioned she might watch the Request polls runner-ups. Since she has already seen the "True Grit" remake with Jeff Bridges, I propose we substitute a different John Wayne western. Perhaps "The Searchers", which is highly requested, or have a new poll to decide.
Joe
2025-01-17 19:15:18 +0000 UTCHonestly, I think "The Fabelmans" is one of Spielberg's absolute best films, and it annoys me how little attention it continues to get. š£
Byrd N. Hand
2025-01-17 19:01:08 +0000 UTCStill no Clarence? This is odd.
Richard Maurer
2025-01-17 14:22:36 +0000 UTCI think you may have posted the wrong link, as that video says it's 9 years old, and is unable to be viewed in my country. Here's the clip for people to watch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POgWODZyUGQ I'll definitely have to watch Febelmans sometime.

Rick Rodriguez
2025-01-17 10:23:03 +0000 UTCJust take a left. Cross the Nefud Desert and straight ahead. Can't miss it. The one with the camel in front.
Rick Rodriguez
2025-01-17 10:22:24 +0000 UTCBela's and Christopher's portrayals are definitely different. The 1931 version relied more on psychological suspense. Children of the night, what music they make. Renfield was scarier than Dracula.
V M
2025-01-17 08:33:40 +0000 UTCChris, if you have the time and like Gladiator, you should watch her original full reaction to Gladiator. It was the 11th movie she reacted to.

Mark Vaderr
2025-01-17 04:28:45 +0000 UTCOne of Spielberg's better films in a while. Think she might enjoy that. Love the end scene with the kid at the locker after the graduation party.

Chris Thom
2025-01-16 23:03:32 +0000 UTCHave you included Cadburys Orange Mini Eggs? I know you can get the ordinary kind in the USA and Canada, but I don't think the orange flavoured kind are available there...
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2025-01-16 23:01:37 +0000 UTCIt is indeed from Hammer studios- coolest studio name ever.
Richard Maurer

Rose
2025-01-16 22:33:21 +0000 UTCI love Fred Astaire, but would rather see something like Funny Face, Easter Parade or Royal Wedding.
William Brownlee
2025-01-16 22:27:38 +0000 UTCThat's true, but is that on public officials or the government, or is that on individual homeowners? Most suburban homes have bushes and trees in their yards, and that's their private property. Also, that is not the same as living in a forest. Finally, if you look at videos of the destroyed areas, I thought it was interesting that a lot of the trees and lawns survived while the houses all burned down. This fire spread from house to house because most of these houses were built long before there were current fire codes protecting against what type of roofing materials are used, how the eaves are constructed, etc. I can speak from experience that insurance companies in California have already been forcing homeowners to make these types of changes (along with the distance of trees and brush from their homes) or else they deny them insurance. But these types of adjustments are far from cheap, often costing tens of thousands of dollars to make. So is there blame to be had? Are there things that could have been done to prevent this tragedy? Sure, but they were not on the part of the government, nor were they cheap to carry out.

2025-01-16 22:25:40 +0000 UTC@TheSingulatarian - ??? Not about movies? What about Major League? He also had a hit TV show.
Mike Lemon
2025-01-16 22:24:56 +0000 UTCAnother good movie for February would be a Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers film š¤āØ āSwing Timeā & āTop Hatā are considered their best films out of the 10 that they made together during the 30s and 40s. Timeless elegance and lighthearted entertainment - romance aficionados should know this iconic dancing duo.

2025-01-16 22:16:23 +0000 UTCRIP David Lynch, I thought I'd share a clip of his final on screen acting role; Portraying legendary Hollywood director, John Ford in Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film, The Fabelmans (2022). It is based on the real life meeting of a teenage Spielberg meeting one of his heroes, John Ford. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk6spjF98No
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2025-01-16 22:15:40 +0000 UTCMany of the videos I have seen of the fire residents had greenery almost right up to the sides of their houses trees and shrubs. There is nothing you can do that is more important to save your house from wildfire than to cut the greenery back from your home. twenty to thirty feet.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2025-01-16 22:01:51 +0000 UTCI did enjoy it. Super fun movie. That era of Hammer movies (I think it's called?) has a cool charm to it.
Chris Thom
2025-01-16 22:00:56 +0000 UTCNooooooooo. Are you serious? He died today?
Chris Thom
2025-01-16 21:59:16 +0000 UTCStill always think of the Toblerone bar from that Friends episode.

2025-01-16 21:58:43 +0000 UTCI have put together another small bundle of edible English goodies, which I shall post to Popcorn HQ asap!š
Chris Clarke
2025-01-16 21:25:09 +0000 UTCA natural disaster shouldn't be political, and instead should just be about the victims. But scan these comments and you'll see people trying to make cheap political points over this disaster, while spreading lies about what happened. I don't see anyone pushing back on what they're saying. I am not being political, I am just advocating for telling the truth about what happened. If you want to tell people to stop talking politics, there are others in this thread you can direct that comment at.
Stranger2Reality
2025-01-16 19:40:00 +0000 UTCRIP David Lynch 1946-2025. A truly great Hollywood director. There is a brilliant Scene By Scene interview with him, filmed in 1999, discussing his best films. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIlmdLPUdpg
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2025-01-16 19:14:33 +0000 UTCLooks like Pick-a-flick may be the only realistic option for HoD. "The Fog" (1980) is my current PaF, because even that film can't place on a poll.
Joe
2025-01-16 18:47:53 +0000 UTCJoe - I think if HoD were up against the Universal classics it wouldnāt have a chance because thereās a bias for them being the ābestā versions. If the poll excluded the Universal movies and was 50ās. - 60ās classic horror I think it would have a much better chance. Although it would still depend on what American movies were on the poll as thereās also a general American made bias here.
Richard Maurer
2025-01-16 18:04:40 +0000 UTCExcellent question!
Mike LL
2025-01-16 17:30:28 +0000 UTCRichard, as Clarence is conspicuous with his absence and he is usually here to back you up, I shall second HoD. (Do hope he is alright)
Mark White
2025-01-16 17:19:27 +0000 UTCLet's just not talk politics or how it happened as per Cassie's rules and focus on the victims.
My_Cousin_Mose
2025-01-16 16:52:32 +0000 UTCDo you think HoD would place on a 50s horror poll? We need the right kind of poll.
Joe
2025-01-16 15:35:16 +0000 UTCHorror of Dracula - endorsed by more than just me - āI watched Horror of Dracula the other night and I really enjoyed it. I get it nowā - Chris Thom. (Hope you donāt mind I made this post Chris, but this movie needs all the help it can get)
Richard Maurer
2025-01-16 13:43:28 +0000 UTCV M Bella Lugosi isnāt even Number 2 on that list. His portrayal is āclassicā, but has nothing else going for it. One of the most overrated character portrayals in movie history - imo.
Richard Maurer
2025-01-16 13:36:05 +0000 UTCI'm sure nobody is reading this anymore, but I grew up in Pasadena and Altadena and lived in Altadena in a building up until almost a year ago which appears to have burned down (that area is still under mandatory evacuation so I can't go check). I now live in the San Fernando Valley, so the Palisades fire very nearly forced us to evacuate before they got it under control (parts of my neighborhood are still under evacuation orders). I also lived for years in Hollywood, and have many friends and family in all these places, many of whom had to evacuate (and some who still aren't allowed back), and some like me who simply worried with the constant fear that we'd be evacuated. I can't fully express the absolute stress it was like for about a week there, just spending all day fixated on the local news, watching the water drops, and checking the Watch Duty app for updates, and monitoring who's homes the fires were burning towards, all while knowing that the community I grew up in and have spent much of my life is just gone. And then when they seemed like things were finally being brought under control in Altadena, we began to see the flames from my home here. Probably one of the most infuriating things though, and I've seen it in this thread, is how so many people seemingly ignored the actual disaster that's going on in favor of running around looking at who is to blame. There is so much misinformation going around out there about all kinds of things, and it's all harmful. Sometimes natural disasters just happen, and this was certainly one of them. When you combine zero rain for almost a year with dry hurricane force winds, and housing structures that were built nearly a century ago without things like defensible space and flame resistant building materials in mind, major fires are just inevitable. It's no one person's fault, or even a small group of people's fault, any more than a small group of people are to blame for hurricane damage. Honestly it's sickening how many people see a disaster happening in real time and immediately think about how they can use this to further a political agenda. For the people wanting to blame "poor forest management", go look at any photos of Los Angeles and you'll see we are not in the middle of a forest. There are no forests around here. Los Angeles is a desert, surrounded by desert. To the people talking about "poor water management", please know that Los Angeles does not get its water from Northern California, where the dams up in the Cascades and preserving "smelt fish" are an issue. SoCal gets its water from the Colorado River, same as Cassie in Utah. There are water issues in the southwest, but it has to do with growing crops (many of which go to China and the Middle East), not about what happens in Northern California. In high winds in California, the power companies turn off the power because downed power lines cause fires. This lack of power combined with the incredible amount of water being poured on the fires made it so some pumps couldn't keep up with the water being drained. Normally fires are attacked from the air, but the winds were so great it wasn't safe for anything to fly. These winds also allowed embers to be carried miles away to start new fires. There is no place in the world that's equipped to handle fires in those conditions. I'm sure people made some mistakes, just as always happens in any natural disaster, but it's absurd to blame anyone other than mother nature for this. So again, if you see what's happening in LA and think "this gives me an opportunity to push my political agenda" then you really need to look in the mirror and ask what you're doing. This instinct to look at horrific events and just try to figure out how to turn it to your advantage is sickening, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Stranger2Reality
2025-01-16 11:42:49 +0000 UTCI'd rather they go back to Voyager. For me, it was the best Star Trek show after TNG and, again, I think Cassie and Carly will enjoy it.
Philip Gordon
2025-01-16 08:51:47 +0000 UTCCassie, when do you and Carly start watching Planet of the Apes?!
Mark Vaderr
2025-01-16 07:18:40 +0000 UTCI'd add "The Last Wave," "Breaker Morant," "Starstruck," and "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert."

2025-01-16 04:10:45 +0000 UTCAre you sure youāre not my sister from another mister, Roseš¤Ŗ Your Lawrence of Arabia description is spot on. It is perhaps one of the 2 or 3 most visually stunning movies ever made, and represents perhaps the apotheosis of film-based cinematography. That said, I know if TE Lawrence was in my friend group (especially because heād be a magnet for all the girls), we wouldāve quickly been calling him āMr. Larry,ā but only in front of the ladies. And only because heād be too cool to show he cared.

Chris Thom
2025-01-15 21:06:59 +0000 UTCThat is a solution for syncing European 25 fps with US/Canada 24 fps. As for me streaming my content in the US (24 fps), I am typically the opposite in syncing with a European reactor (sometimes 25 fps), and thus I use the factor 0.9591 to slightly slow down their reaction stream to sync -- works every time.
Clay F
2025-01-15 21:00:59 +0000 UTCBrett, my guess is that your DVD boxset is 25 fps, which is a little faster than her stream (24 fps) of the movie. To slightly increase her stream speed to sync (which this works): 1. If streaming her reaction on a PC or laptop, right click on her reaction video and then click "inspect". 2. Then, go to the console tab in the new window that pops up and copy/paste or type in: document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 1.0426

2025-01-15 20:56:17 +0000 UTCI think Cassie & Carly are going to enjoy Crocodile Dundee 2. Though I highly recommend rewatching the first movie beforehand (or a recap at least). Itās been a long time since the first reaction.
Luke Godfrey
2025-01-15 20:56:05 +0000 UTCCassie, you mention you are enjoying the posts on the Patreon for Pop2Go, but do you read the comments on the You Tube channel, as I have noticed very few likes from you/Carly on there.
Louisa Moritz
2025-01-15 20:53:44 +0000 UTCLooking forward to Star Trek Beyond. Though I really donāt like what they did with the uniforms in this movie. Still hoping Cassie will watch Star Trek: Discovery (season 1-2) and then Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (prequel to The Original Series). I know itās unlikely but one can only hope. šš»šš»šš»
Luke Godfrey
2025-01-15 20:53:34 +0000 UTCYeah this PAL vs NTSC malarkey is total bullshit. Having to constantly pause to stay in sync with some reactions is so frustrating. I just found the movies are available to rent or buy on the Sky Store, but theyāll be PAL too so no good. Our best bet is to watch illegal copies online. I found them on 123Movies and the link Bjorn sent is good too.
Luke Godfrey
2025-01-15 20:47:02 +0000 UTCI have the DVD boxset of both films but they don't run at the correct speed anyway. I'm longing for a digital release or Bluray for that matter, but there must be some copyright issues long outstanding.
Brett Richey
2025-01-15 20:37:34 +0000 UTCI too suspect Carly will be somewhat hiding her eyes for a number of scenes. I mean, right from the getgo it's quite the beast when it comes to visceral.
Brett Richey
2025-01-15 20:35:06 +0000 UTCI actually like Crocodile Dundee 2 better than the first one. It's probably because of the genre change. 1 is a Rom-Com with a bit of action. 2 is an action-adventure comedy.

I still K.I.T and treat the crew that helped saved my momās life and also my nephewās fire station (which actually serves my neighborhood) every chance I can get. Definitely an inspiration to see people all coming together to help the victims. Thanks for all you do, too! God bless you Cassie.

2025-01-15 19:29:03 +0000 UTCThe water reservoirs are not the issue. They had enough water, what they didn't have was the power to pump it up the hills to the hydrants. To pump that much water uphill at that steep of a grade takes an incredible amount of power from LARGE pumps. The airplanes dumping fire retardant and water would have normally been able to handle the situation much MUCH faster but the high winds were making it very unsafe to fly at those low altitudes and were dispersing their drops making it very hard to accurately hit their targets. The reservoir is an easy way to push blame but even if that reservoir was working they'd still need the pumps to push the water up and they just do not exist.

2025-01-15 19:25:09 +0000 UTCJoe, don't forget "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" (2020). I was pissing hard on Croc 2, but now defer to the experts on honoring Australia Day. Made sense to choose Croc 2 over the zillion of high-quality movies featuring Australia. As for Croc 3, I see no difference between Croc 2 and Croc 3. Croc 3 for Austrailia Day next year. The icing on the cake is "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" (2020) for Australia Day 2027.

2025-01-15 19:24:55 +0000 UTCIāve heard about the tents and people freezing to death. The Helene response from FEMA has been a travesty. God Bless you Dave. Itās been falling on the backs of the American people to do the right thing for the victims of these recent disasters including Maui and East Palestine. The communities have no choice but to step up - neighbors helping neighbors - and the kindness and support from strangers from around the world has been uplifting and inspiring.

2025-01-15 19:24:37 +0000 UTCthe fire fighters requested 100mil more this year in their budget and instead that went to police and they lost 17 mil from their previous year's total budget. Absolutely wasted. How many more tanks does the LAPD need?

2025-01-15 19:15:43 +0000 UTCOh wow. Thanks so much Dave. But we will be okay. There are others in much more need.

And one can donate in honor of someone or in honor of an organization like Popcorn In Bed. Thanks again!

2025-01-15 19:06:18 +0000 UTCThanks so much Cassie. Yes, Pacific Palisadesā location up on a bluff really gave it a small town feel where everybody knew everybody else. And the community worked hard to preserve that. No fast-food franchise or hard liquor licenses were ever granted for fear of too much beach traffic. Though it was mentioned in the Beach Boys song āSurfin USAā, most people had not heard of it. Many mistook it for Palos Verdes when mentioned. Sadly, that is no longer true. But the outpouring of support from many is deeply appreciated. Thanks again!š

There are times at a convenience store and some random stranger will look at me and say "Hmmmm....look at all that cash. Wish I had some of that..."

2025-01-15 14:41:23 +0000 UTCSorry to hear you had to learn that the hard way, Rose. I can't figure out if that's an American thing or a human thing, but the older I get the more I think it's the latter. Good to hear about your Aunt and her husband. I've been out to the mountains a few times since Helene to try to help. It's alternately an exercise in hope and frustration. People have rallied to donate all kinds of stuff, but, at least from my experience, the frustration with FEMA has been very real. Not that people aren't trying but it so slooooooooow moving. The exact opposite of what disaster relief should be. The temps out there at night can get to below 0Ā° F, and yet there are still people living in tents. And rebuilding will be very hard because many of the towns originally permitted structures in flood zones when they knew better. Now, people won't be allowed to rebuild on their own land. It's a mess. God bless your Aunt and her husband and all who are out there. LIke the people in L.A. (where I have several friends, some affected), it's just hard to see and will be a struggle for so many of them for years.

2025-01-15 14:40:38 +0000 UTCThanks Cassie and everyone for all you have done to help those in need. I grew up in Pacific Palisades and it is heartbreaking to see it so destroyed. The homes I lived in, the schools and church I attended are gone. š The worst of it was my aunt had a massive stroke and passed away during her panicked evacuation. So, my uncle is staying with us until it is safe to return to the Palisades. So great to be able to enjoy Popcorn In Bed and its amazing community at times like these. My uncle really enjoyed āThe Intouchablesā reaction. Such a nice relief from thinking about everything that happened. Looking forward to the fun Crocodile Dundee 2 (But not the bush fire scene), going Beyond, and we will be entertained! āļø Thanks again for everything everyone has done for those affected. āWhat we do in life echoes an eternity!ā š

2025-01-15 14:34:25 +0000 UTCIt doesn't take long. I just have a couple pair of my least favorite jeans and shirts I rarely wear in a waterproof bag. We used to keep them close to the door in a cupboard, but I just threw mine in the back of the truck with a tie-down. Putting everything in ziplock-type bags inside the travel bag means you don't have to change out the stuff as often. As they used to tell us in Boy Scouts, "You can't wear it (eat it/spend it, etc) if you don't have it with you." That Eagle Scout stuff gets encoded into your DNA, along with how to build a box fire and tying a bowline š¤£

2025-01-15 14:10:15 +0000 UTCI pretty much only judge if I wamt to see a movie from the trailers. Even if I hear others talking about the movie and they didn't like it. If I thought I would based off the trailer then I'd still go see it. I'm not someone that judges the plot or cgi or anything. I just go for the enjoyment and most of the time I like the movie enough that I'm not disappointed....does not mean I thought it was great or anything but at least worth the watch, even if I never watch it again. I'm a big fan of older movies too. I often wish more were like movies from the 40's-60's

2025-01-15 14:09:02 +0000 UTCRose! Now I have a smile that will last all day! Your mom is wise. I got the "enough cash" lecture, too. Enough is always relative to each person. And the other stuff you list is vital. It's all a pain to gather, but to have it all in one place where you can get it quickly is never bad policy. Some disastersāhurricanes, blizzards, etc.āare slow moving and so there's a bit of time to gather stuff up. Othersātornadoes, earthquakesāare lightning fast, but if one (or even two) live in a high risk zone, it's probably best to have these things close by.

2025-01-15 13:38:49 +0000 UTCOh that's right. I vaguely remember those. Thank you Jakh and Rose (ha ha...was literally just watching a Titanic reaction). Peter Berg really made the shift to true life stories lately. I remember him from back when he did that Wes Craven flick.
Chris Thom
2025-01-15 13:38:47 +0000 UTCMy mom always said to have enough cash money no matter what - financial/medical documents and prescriptions including pet records are so important. Very tedious to gather but crucial.

Richard Maurer
2025-01-15 13:25:54 +0000 UTCDonāt we all judge movies based on other peopleās opinions? Other than trailers (which are basically someoneās opinion) what else do we have? I mean how many people ever watch movies with zero knowledge of what the movie is about? It true that people tend to oversell how good movies are, or how bad they are, so I do wish people would dial it back a couple of notches.
Richard Maurer
2025-01-15 13:21:49 +0000 UTCāDo one thing for one person you wish you could do for everyoneā. I love that mantra. The parents of one of the office administrators for the company I work for lost their home in a fire a few weeks ago. Iāve been donating to their Go Fund Me page with every paycheck Iāve gotten since. Im sure weād all love to do so much more than we can to help out with the devastation in California, but if you can make a difference for just one person who desperately needs help, it can turn tragedy into triumph. Iāll be looking into the links that you provided this weekend. Thank you, Cassie!
Dan M
2025-01-15 13:12:26 +0000 UTCThanks for this, Cassie! What to grab in an emergency is always a series of tough choices. One thing that can add a little security is to have a "go bag" for each person in the house. Nothing dramatic here, just enough clothesāesp socks and underwearātoiletries and a few other odds and ends to get each of you through 48-72 hours. I throw a few protein bars and a couple bottled waters and a couple hundred bucks in ziplocs, too, and a rain poncho and keep it all in my truck. Small bag for each of us that we change out every couple months so it doesn't get musty inside. Never hurts.

Mark White
2025-01-15 12:52:43 +0000 UTCGreat recsā¦I especially love Man from Snowy River/Strictly Ballroom/Murielās Wedding/Gallipoli. I have to always add āPhar Lapā (1983) - NZ born legendary Australian racehorse. Thatās such gem of a film.
Rose
2025-01-15 12:52:07 +0000 UTCJackie, PiB is great for taking your mind of your problems. Either watching Cassie and Carly and their wonderful reactions or just coming on the comment sections to read and join in on the latest movie choices. Just when life seams really crap, there can be something really good just around the corner, I hope that will be the case for you.

Chris Thom
2025-01-15 12:35:37 +0000 UTCAs an Australian, I can tell you there are far better choices to watch for Australia Day. Picnic at Hanging Rock, Mad Max, Gallipoli, Man from Snowy River, Animal Kingdom, Muriels Wedding, Strickly Ballroom and The Castle.

Mark White
2025-01-15 12:27:41 +0000 UTCGreat lineup once again, i'd say i've seen Croc 2 a dozen or so times now such an easy film to dip into whenever it's on tv. Next week will be interesting with 3 very different films winning the polls.
Gray
2025-01-15 12:26:05 +0000 UTCThey sure do Chris! And this is more than just another reaction for me. I must of watched the tube edit of croc 1, I donāt know how many times! Itās been my go to video to stop my brain being stupid (anxiety) itās works every time. So to have another will be awesome! š
Mark White
2025-01-15 12:23:36 +0000 UTCAnother true story thatās been on Cassieās radar is: āOnly the Braveā (2017). Itās a must- see.
Rose
2025-01-15 12:22:43 +0000 UTCCassie might want to watch a movie in honor of fire fighters and first responders. Since she has already seen Backdraft, I would suggest one of these: "Deepwater Horizon" (2016) *True Story* "The Towering Inferno" (1974) "The Hellfighters" (1968) "Volcano" (1997) These are more actiony and a less plausible depiction but still focus on the responders: "Daylight" (1996) "San Andreas" (2015)
JAKH
2025-01-15 12:18:51 +0000 UTCBittersweet that Star Trek is coming to an end, unless she plans to watch DS9/Voyager/Enterprise as well in which case there is still a lot to be excited for. Also there is still a 4th movie still floating around, i know with the passing of Anton has definitely put it on indefinite hold, Simon Pegg has mentioned a few times when asked that they all still want to do it.
Jasbro
2025-01-15 12:10:43 +0000 UTCI like the story better than the last one for sure, and I think it has a lot of fast paced action.

Chris Thom
2025-01-15 11:52:19 +0000 UTCBtw Iām very excited for your Lawrence of Arabia reaction. Itās my favorite film ever, which is based on the life of British WW1 officer T.E. Lawrence. LoA has influenced and inspired a generation of directors (Kubrick, Lucas, Spielberg, Sorceses, Jackson - LoA is in his Top 6 WW1 movies - Nolan, etc.). You have the advantage of watching it on the big screen. I last saw this film at the Aero Theater in 70mm (while not all 70mm screenings are equal this one had an exclusive print thatās blemish free) so the film was so crisp and rich with color that it absolutely blew me away. PS - Highly recommend that you watch it again at a 70mm showing - I suggests the American Cinematheque locations (Aero or Egyptian) because their exclusive print is perfect and with the sound - just the way David Lean intended his masterpiece to be fully appreciated and experienced.

Neighbourhood Watch Alliance
2025-01-15 11:47:19 +0000 UTCIām not in the affected areas but my local firefighters were some of the initial responders. I also know firefighters from Orange County Fire Authority (my nephew is one of them) who just finished a 48-hr shift but drove up to assist LAFD who were stretched with no air support due to the hurricane-force winds on Tuesday & Wednesday. Many of these first responders have lost their own homes but still fighting the ongoing Palisades and Eaton fires. Keeping the first responders and affected communities in my thoughts and prayers. Chef Andrew Gruel has been among the many to immediately help fire victims and first responders with free meals. Heās also received donations (basic essentials such as baby formula, clothes, shoes, pet food, etc) that have been dropped off to his restaurant (Calico Fish House) in Huntington Beach where volunteers are helping to deliver meals and items to the Dream Center in L.A. He also raised funds towards relief efforts and let fire victims use his parking lot as temporary shelter and got free meals on him. Donations for the animals such as Best Friends Animal Society & Wings of Rescue are helping to relocate adoptable animals from the affected shelters. Many of them were already flown to Seattle and Dallas and shelters and animal sanctuaries from across the nation are reaching out to help these two amazing organizations.

"Crocodile Dundee II" Good, I've been waiting for that one. It's no "great cinema" but it is a fun little movie. If you want more of the Mick Dundee actor, check out Almost an Angel (1990), and if you want more Australian "history" check out Young Einstein (1988) and find out how Albert finally put bubbles into beer.

Eric Parpart
2025-01-15 10:19:56 +0000 UTC"I would grab-ink prints ..., letter ..., grandma's recipes, my kids comfort animals and blankets." Planning ahead is good, but instead of planning what papers you want, plan to buy a fire-proof safe. "as we watch the devastating fires unfold. It is breaking my heart..." Then don't watch it. Be aware then move on with your day. Watch a movie, read a book, get the Patreon podcast thing straightened out, whatever. It is the curse of the internet (and CNN) that all the news of the world is shoved in our faces. Family and community is where our main focus should be. A heavy focus on the nation or the world is too much and you will drive yourself insane. And before anyone writes an angry reply, read what I actually wrote again, not what you think I wrote. "it feels overwhelming..." Then remove yourself from the situation. For the charity thing, the old standbys are usually a good way to go. "Is there anyone here in our kernel community that have been affected?" The real question. Like I said previously, community not nation.

Rick Rodriguez
2025-01-15 09:53:31 +0000 UTCI haven't been affected by the fires, but I did see a fire warning of high winds possibly downing power lines on an orange lighted road sign sunday night while delivering food in Poway. And I JUST NOW while in the middle of typing this checked the local news and found that a brush fire broke out in Mission Valley near the I-15, about 10 or so miles from where I live here in San Diego. Looks like luckily the firefighters got it out quick. My mom also mentioned that a brief gust of wind happened today around noon, but nothing since. Usually I don't ever consider winds a threat, other maybe knocking down some high things on the garden shelf on the balcony, but I think I'll start a mental inventory of things I'll absolutely grab in case any fire were to happen to start up near me. Hopefully by the time I've narrowed it down in my mind, any more possibilities of high winds in Southern California will be over.

Donald Fleming
2025-01-15 08:07:28 +0000 UTCCaptain James T. Kirk: āCaptain's Log, Stardate 2263.2. Today is our 966th day in deep space, a little under three years into our five-year mission. The more time we spend out here, the harder it is to tell where one day ends and the next one begins. It can be a challenge to feel grounded when even the gravity is artificial. But, well, we do what we can to make it feel like home. The crew, as always, continues to act admirably despite the rigors of our extended stay here in outer space. And the personal sacrifices they have made. We continue to search for new lifeforms in order to establish firm diplomatic ties. Our extended time in uncharted territory has stretched the ship's mechanical capacities. But fortunately our engineering department, led by Mr. Scott, is more than up to the job. The ship aside, prolong cohabitation has definitely had effects on interpersonal dynamics. Some experiences for the better, and some for the worse. As for me, things have started to feel a little... episodic. The farther out we go, the more I find myself wondering what it is we're trying to accomplish. But if the universe is truly endless, then are we not striving for something forever out of reach? The Enterprise is scheduled for reprovisioning stop at Yorktown, the Federation's newest and most advanced starbase. Perhaps a break from routine will offer up some respite from the mysteries of the unknown.ā Star Trek Beyond
Anthony Carlson
2025-01-15 07:55:01 +0000 UTCI am always of the opinion that you, Cassie, should never judge a single movie you watch based on anyone's comments on youtube or patreon. Just enjoy movies for what they are and judge for yourself. Hope you are feeling better these days, health wise. Looking forward to all the upcoming reactions even though there's one I've never even heard of before.

It's not as good as the first Kelvin movie, but it's better than INTO DARKNESS imo. I know that next week you plan to watch the 3 poll winners which includes LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. Since it is one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) epics ever made by one of the greatest epic filmmakers of all time David Lean (who also did BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI), I'd like to get a jump on requesting-- nay, begging you to please, PLEASE watch it in your theater space. The big screen is the only way to experience that film.

2025-01-15 07:20:17 +0000 UTCI see you loving Gladiator. Crocodile Dundee 2 is not as good as the first, but not terrible. Still hoping for a really old classic poll every 2 or 3 months.
