Frank Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) I know the song belongs to Dean Martin, and not Frank Sinatra, but I thought how appropriate it feels for me after reading some of Frank’s history, especially his connections with … Continue reading →

Posted on February 17, 2023 by cdsmiller17

11.22.63 (2016) This is “Back to the Future” for Baby Boomers. I watched the first episode on Amazon Prime Video. It was 90 minutes long. There are seven more to see. I won’t be watching them. I’ve seen enough. Having … Continue reading →

“He Wasn’t All ‘Bubble and Squeak’.”

Posted on February 14, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Walt Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) While discussing my upcoming post about Walt Disney, my wife said the words quoted above. At first I thought she was referencing ‘sweetness and light’, but she really intended ‘squeaky clean’. … Continue reading →

Canada’s Centennial Poster Child?

Posted on January 31, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Pamela Anderson (July 1, 1967) Yes, I’m being a little ‘tongue-in-cheek’ here, but in some ways, when I saw that her birthday occurred on that anniversary, I wondered if Pamela Anderson might have been born for that reason. Her birth … Continue reading →

My Blue Heaven?

Posted on January 30, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Caerul “Night Sky” tried its damnedest to present an idea(l) world where the ‘afterlife’ is a city on a planet somewhere in space. If the place was so wonderful, why did Jude choose to escape from it? When a screenwriter … Continue reading →

Xenophobia: Blaming the Stranger Among Us

Posted on January 19, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) This film is based on the 2018 coming of age book with the same title by Delia Owens. It’s not based on a true story (how could it?) and, in my opinion, it’s an allegory … Continue reading →

Spiritual Warriors Aren’t Always Peaceful Ones

Posted on January 8, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Infinite (2021) We watched this movie on Amazon Prime last night. Susan suggested it since it’s about reincarnation. There are a couple of ‘official’ trailers on YouTube, so you might want to look at them, too, before you make up … Continue reading →

Eywa: The Living Spirit of Pandora

Posted on January 2, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) We went to the cinema yesterday and watched this marathon movie (except that I missed a bit in the middle when Kiri had some kind of seizure). The story continues the “Dances With Wolves” … Continue reading →

I Think He Understands the Matrix Perfectly Well

Posted on December 29, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Keanu Reeves (September 2, 1964) I was reading a Facebook post about Keanu Reeves‘ philanthropy, today. We all know about him, but we presume so much when it comes to his feelings of compassion and empathy. He’s one-of-a-kind. Ah, the … Continue reading →

I’d Never Heard of This Before:

Posted on December 13, 2022 by cdsmiller17

WOW! Signal (August 15, 1977) Until today, I was unaware of this ‘contact’ signal. Since it came from the vicinity of Sagittarius, I was wondering if this might be symbolic of the Galactic Centre that Ellie Adams often speaks about. … Continue reading →
