Social The Blue Moon Cantina XVII -Dark Side of the Moon

Awesome Falcon! Once you get there, you can settle down and relax.

 

yup

stretching out the back calves of my legs, they're getting tight as I'm not used to walking long distances anymore. If I don't then I end up with a very painful charlie horse and at this point in my life, the muscle doesn't know how to release the muscle anymore and ends up doing more then one charlie horse on me until I finally stand and stretch it

 

Unfortunately no, not that fluent to do that though I can ask: Wie gehts du? and then: Wir gehen ins kino?


I know that feeling Falcon, sometimes when you come home after a long shift of being on your feet and sit down, you can't really walk when you get back up.

 

Ummm actually I meant exercising, I plan to do a run/walk for the cure and I haven't walked 3.5 kms in a while and my goal is to aim for 6 kms by the time the walk comes up.
(Breast cancer cure) It's a 5 km hike thorough downtown.

 

Good luck Falcon. When I walk long distances, I start to feel it in my hips, in the joints, not the muscles as much.

How is everyone this morning?

 

And also take a bottle or water with you, hydration is important.

Well thanks, Zark, and you?

Got Aladdin on, audio commentary playing, while I work on some art. Also semi snuggled down, keeping warm as it is cold and raining outside.

 

I won't tell you all how far I just ran. It was great this morning because there was a cloud cover. Yesterday it was sunny and humid so I ended up stopping earlier than I would have liked. Made up for that this morning

And now I'm sitting out on the deck, gosh I love the beach. I never want to leave.

 

I'm doing well myself. The job search is looking more optimistic, and I just ordered myself another yoyo to keep myself entertained.

I haven't watched Aladdin in few years. I watch the Great Mouse Detective pretty frequently though.

 

Good luck with the job search Zark.

I need to watch Aladdin again, used to be one of my favorite movies. But I haven't owned a copy since I was a teen and still living at home.

 

I haven't used a yoyo in ages.

The Great Mouse Detective is a good one, haven't seen that in a while. The commentary for Aladdin is great so far. Insight into the performances and production. Didn't realise that the film was shown to Spielberg and got some feedback from him on it.

EDIT: If you get a chance, must get the Blu-Ray Diamond Edition of Aladdin. There is a great feature on there that goes into the making of the film. Diamond in the Rough.

 

Clever.

Yeah, I throw a yoyo as a hobby nowadays. I've been doing it about 3 months now and it's a lot of fun.

Also, gonna post this video from the Yoyo world contest that was a week or two ago.

Obviously, I'm nowhere near that good.

 

They've been playing Aladdin like crazy on one of the Disney channels ever since Robin Williams died.

 

I really enjoy movie commentaries you learn so much random insight from them. A lot of work goes into movies. And sometimes directors or actors tell set stories that are also fun to hear.

 

That makes sense I suppose. Karolyn immediately rented Mrs. Doubtfire the following morning. (My least favorite Robin Williams movie) I would have rented Hook.

 

That yoyo video was unbelievable.

They been doing that here but all the channels are airing his films from Mrs. Doubtfire, Birdcage, etc. Did watch Hook the other night, that is another good one. Bob Hoskins, Dustin Hoffman and of course Robin are great in that film. Who'd thought that Rufio later does Prince Zuko in the Avatar: Legend of Aang series.

EDIT: How come you are not that keen on Mrs. Doubtfire, Zark?

 

For me, Mrs Doubtfire is about a dysfunctional family, who in the end, rather than try to fix things, decides it's fine to be dysfunctional. That, and I tend to be uncomfortable in movies where a character has to spend the entirety of the film living in a lie of their making.

 

I remember in either the commentary or the making of documentary that the way the film ended, without the parents getting back together and everything neatly resolved is because life is not like that and they did not want to make light on that. I'm paraphrasing here as it has been a while since I've seen it. When I first saw Mrs Doubtfire, I did not understand why he couldn't visit his children but I understand it a lot better now.

Ah, similar thing with that first Santa Clause film. That whole thing about the mother not allowing the father to see his son didn't quite make sense to me because of Charlie believing in Santa. What is wrong with that? He brings awesome gifts.

 

Although I liked Mrs. Doubtfire I agree about movies that revolve around lies making me uncomfortable.

We actually have lots channels here, but I haven't touched it and wouldn't know what's on. I am on vacation and not much for tv. I watch part of the Redskins/Browns game last night with my husband, but went to bed long before the end.

 

Mrs Doubtfire is on my list of favourite films that Robin has done though I do see where you are coming from. Cadillac Man is another good one. Not that keen on Jumanji though. I do get a kick out of the fact that he performed with John Rhys-Davies in Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

I don't watch tv that much. I prefer to watch the dvd/blu-ray versions of the films than the tv. No ads and better quality.

 

Tonight I'm renting Winter Soldier to watch from amazon. I saw it once and have been dying to see it again since. I'm really really really excited actually.

 

Sorry, I was pulled away for a bit but am here now could say that there was another post in-between but it disappeared.

Which film is it? Is there a way to import it from the UK that is region free?
