Solid list there. I recently rewatched "Rollerball"; the James Caan original, not the recent remake. I needed the original as a palate cleanser, after seeing the remake.

I have a rather singular taste for Wakeman's works.

There are a bunch of aphorisms that people routinely get wrong, frequently by leaving something out that changes the meaning significantly. "I could care less." - should be - "I couldn't care less." because you clearly want to state you don't care about something. "Pull yourself up by your...

It' definitely making Amazon think that they haven't delivered my lockpick yet. Still getting notifications that "it will still be delivered today."

Thanks :) Level 1 in Lockpicking achieved. I need Masterwork Picks. Bent this one several times, trying to free the stuck pins.

Ah, right. It was actually Edington I was thinking of, who ultimately gets arrested.

@Meech17 - First attempt was really frustrating. I could consistently get pin 3 to set, as which point pin 4 became too stiff to set, with 1 & 2 moving freely. Need practice. I have three keys to the lock so I might also try filing one a bit, to see if I can get it past where it stops at pin 2.

He was probably off at some "spa" getting the Garth of Izar treatment, during the war.

No idea why, but I'm now reminded of Mike Oldfield's original version of "Family Man." I think that the Hall & Oats version is better known.

I just ordered a cheap fold-out set, at least for now. Let's see how that goes. I would really prefer not to have to commit my piece to a vise, so I can drill out the stupid lock.

Could be, but I haven't touched a musical instrument in over 40 years but, back then, it started with Recorder (like pretty much everyone else), moved to Flute, then ended at Clarinet when I really wanted to go for Alto Sax. Feels like I was going for the minimum skill level required to hit a...

It's a skill that I've been meaning to pick up, but never had the need until now. Sorry, Snarf, but I'm my "party's" skill monkey/Bard ;)

Malapropisms drive me nuts. Especially so when it's someone like a radio host or newscaster, who should know better. I hear, "I could care less." on an almost daily basis.

You have to consider that the Godzilla concept was born out of a post war Japan that had just been devastated by two atomic bombs. Godzilla is the physical embodiment of that fear. For me, he's solidly SciFi.

I subjected myself to "Morbius." You aren't missing anything. Not even worth a hate-watch.

Well that's damned annoying. Went to do a rare cleaning of the Pew-Pews and the key won't insert into the lock on one. All four pins seem to move freely, so no idea why. Just ordered a lock pick set to see if I can get it off, without needing to drill the cylinder out.

Absolutely. And Godzilla falls well and truly into my "preachy" list of SF movies ;)

A quick calculation shows I'm not too far behind at something around 250mg (2-3 cups of black team and two 710mL bottles of Coke Zero a day). The only time that I get headaches is when I try to cut back, which I should definitely push through and do.
