It's Halloween today and it was SNOWING!!!

[Tookish_Traveler]

Yea. Several years ago we had about a foot of snow right now. gah.



Not this year. Just rain. We haven't hit the freezing mark...yet, but we've been close a few times.

nl.... you should talk. Oz has horrendous spiders, from what I hear.

[IrisBrandybuck]

It's Nov 1! Let the holidays begin!

Including snow. I look forward to the first snows...then about mid-January I'm done. The nice thing...freezing air means no bugs. We have a white faced hornet hive on our house that can probably now be destroyed with impunity.

[notlistening]

Tooks, we do have horrendous spiders here. But none that wander across my screen...

[IrisBrandybuck]

Nothing a little C4 can't take care of.

[Tookish_Traveler]

Now, don't go blowing up your computer.

[Ladykat]

Iris----hornets?? Scary! Hope you can get rid of them soon.

Tooks---spiders, ewwwww! Big spiders, double ewwwww!!! Nothing cute about them.

Funny and cute animals this month, huh? OK.

[Cock-Robin]

Yeah, no spiders or hornets. Not cute!

[Tookish_Traveler]

Some spiders are 'cute.'

I finally got to see Thor Ragnarok yesterday. It was such a fun movie, loads of laughs, plenty of action, good and bad guys and ones that waiver between good and bad (yes, I'm talking to you Loki.)

If you don't know the story in a nutshell: Hela, Thor's very destructive sister is released from captivity and wreaks havoc on Asgard while Thor and the Hulk have been captured by the Grand Master (brother to the Collector I believe) and made to take part in gladiator like battles. (Explains why Thor and Hulk weren't in Civil War) All Thor wants to do is get back to save his people.

The NZ director also had a cameo part as a rock creature who sounded like a NZ pub bouncer. I didn't know Karl Urban was in the movie. His character looked a bit like Vaarko from Chronicles of Riddick but with a rough english accent. (I think its the first time he and Cate Blanchett have been in a movie together since LOTR)
Some fun cameos from Dr Strange, Sam Neill and Matt Damon (in a play at the beginning of the movie.)

There are two extra scenes in the credits. The first one is worth staying for, the 2nd is just a silly bit that really isn't worth the wait.

Several thumbs up for the fun factor. Thor gets most of the funny lines this time, rather than Loki.

My husband is really looking forward to that movie, nl, and it just hit our theater (along with MLP, which I hope to see again) so maybe we'll be able to see it before Thursday.

Hornets are evil. Honeybees and bumblebees are pretty awesome if you just leave them be. But white faced hornets will sting you just for daring to exist in their world.

Sam Neill and Matt Damon (in a play at the beginning of the movie.)

I totally missed that!!

[Ladykat]

Saw Thor: Ragnarok Thursday Nov 2nd in a special early showing. They were really going for the comedy in this one.

I didn't know Karl Urban was in the movie either, until I saw his name in the credits.

It was pretty good. I'll probably see it again.

Sutherland Springs, Texas.....
God be with you always.

The madness must end.
Too many innocents have shed blood.

[Tookish_Traveler]

We be nuts.

[notlistening]

The madness must end. Too many innocents have shed blood.

I was watching that one the news here last night. The Gov of Texas said something about arming more people to stop those with guns! Surely that can't be the answer. It would be like going back to wild west times. Taking them off everyone except law enforcement types should the way to go.

What movie is MLP? I'm going to see Murder on the Orient Express (remake )this weekend with a friend. I have never seen the original (shocker!!) so no idea who the murderer is...though I am guessing they may change it?

[Tookish_Traveler]

Actually, nl, in Wild West times there wasn't a lot of shooting going on. Don't believe what you see in the movies.

MLP ??? My Little Pony? More Latte Please? Many Loud Possums?






Ninui ---
Snoring dogs. Buddy used to snore REALLY loud. Too bad I never Youtubed him.

eta: Joy. Wet slushy white stuff falling from the sky this afternoon.

[oldtoby]

I believe the old west was mostly large mechanical spiders and men in drag.

[IrisBrandybuck]

[Tookish_Traveler]

Wait... we still need men in drag...

[Calma]

Men In Drag


(from "Kinky Boots" if you've never seen the movie and want to
this is the final scene so you might want to skip it)

[Tookish_Traveler]

lol.

I guess I asked for that.

[notlistening]

I've not see Kinky Boots movie or show. But for men in drag, you can't go past Tim Curry in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
