Another Film Based on a True Story:

Posted on February 25, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Ordinary Angels (2024)

This one was filmed in Winnipeg, and it shows. The use of natural lighting is the giveaway that it’s from Canada. The amount of snow that the producers had representing a blizzard in 1994 Louisville, Kentucky was a ‘normal’ snowstorm north of the border. Funny, that.

Films like this tend to take liberties in order to enhance the dramatic effect, but the real images shown during the ending credits kind of gave the game away. The final obstacle to overcome happens in the daylight, not at night. That makes quite a bit of difference. Driving (or flying) during a snowstorm at night is harder than during the day, although accidents do happen then, too. But not matter, the story is about a miracle, and it delivers it in spades.

The image of a red blanket flying like an angel beneath the descending helicopter is seen as the personification of Michelle’s mother That’s when Ed Schmitt ‘saw’ who was behind the miracle.

Ordinary Angels? Never.

When It Comes to Olympic Sport Outcomes…

Posted on February 23, 2026 by cdsmiller17

The Thrill of Victory, the Agony of Defeat

I purposely didn’t watch yesterday’s Gold Metal hockey game between the United States and Canada. I’d already suffered through the women’s game earlier in the week and didn’t want a repeat. I wrongly thought I might be jinxing them. (and, of course, I have NOTHING to do with the outcome.)

But being Silver medalists is nothing to sneer at. But being beaten by Team USA is a bit galling these days, especially in the climate of international politics. Both games ended in 2-1 wins for the States.

You win some, you lose some.

And Speaking of “Lucid Dreaming”…

Posted on February 21, 2026 by cdsmiller17

In Your Dreams (2025)

How’s that for synchronicity? This animated movie has been on Netflix for over three months, but I only saw it for the first time, last night. The children are siblings: Stevie is about 12, Elliot is about 8. That age difference may be the real cause of their ‘conflicts’, but one night they share a strange dream about flying.

Most of their dreams have nightmarish qualities to them, but they discover that by holding hands and working together, they can overcome any obstacles and approach their goals.

The siblings eventually reach the Sandman’s castle, hoping that he will cast their wish where their parents will not move away to Duluth. However, unlike the benevolent figure they expected, the Sandman traps dreamers by offering them a “perfect” fantasy life that never ends, keeping them asleep forever so he can feed on their dreams. He offers Stevie a simulation of her life where her parents are happy and—crucially—where her brother Elliot never existed.

Wikipedia

As always, I won’t tell you how this turns out, but I need to remind you of the adage (somewhat modified): “Be careful what you dream for, you just might get it.”

An enjoyable romp, nonetheless, with many cultural references visually, like the Sandman’s castle is the alien spaceship in “Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind”, for example.

And some more:

And one more:

P.S. Stevie reminds me of my granddaughter, Miss B.

Moment that Michael Jackson’s Life Changed Forever

Posted on February 20, 2026 by cdsmiller17

At the Halfway Point of His Life (January 27, 1984)

This is the image from last night’s TMZ broadcast Michael Jackson: 30 Fatal Seconds. I had written about this in the Man in the Mirror post I did earlier. Here’s a sequence on YouTube:

What a shame.

On His Sixty-Sixth Birthday…

Posted on February 19, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Andrew Arrested (February 19, 2026)

This has been a long time coming. But it isn’t for sexual abuse of young women and girls, it’s due to sharing UK government secrets with Epstein. So the solar eclipse of two days ago has captured its first victim. One can deny all wrongdoing for the rest of one’s life, but the truth will out you, in the end.

This is the first time in 400 years that a (former) royal has been arrested in the United Kingdom. Charles I was executed, by Oliver Cromwell’s crew, and now this has happened under the reign of Charles III. Maybe Charles should have taken a different name when he ascended the throne.

However this is long time coming, as I mentioned above. When you look at the combined eclipse charts of 2017 and 2026, it becomes apparent that the timing is an exposure that Andrew was trying to avoid.

Hmm.

For the Last Couple of Nights, I’ve Seen…

Posted on February 18, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Angel Number 333

Well, that’s surprising, for sure. But, in between, I saw the Angel Number 111, too (on my digital clock).

What exactly is the Universe trying to tell me?

Why Did This Show Appear to Me, Last Night?

Posted on February 18, 2026 by cdsmiller17

When They See Us (2019)

Of course, I’d heard about the “Central Park Five”. As a miscarriage of justice, there are few as devastating as this. I watched the first episode last night, and was amazed at the way the police isolated and coerced the boys into confessing what they saw (even though they saw nothing of the lady’s rape. Four of the boys were minors, two being just 14 years old. In short, they were railroaded into prison.

Then, the penny dropped: of course, this was the last time that Saturn and Neptune were conjunct, only they were in Capricorn together. With the latest conjunction coming in two days in Pisces, it shows what happens when a community decides that people are guilty before even getting their cases tried in court.

Maybe, we are meant to take a breath before jumping to any conclusions this time. Some people might be innocent of all charges, while the guilty get away with stuff they’ve done for at least seven years.

The Universe has taken 37 years to bring this circus to a close.
