n the 1898 novel Futility the unsinkable ocean liner was named Titan. It sank.

But what did he name his submersible?
Posted by: Anna Puma

There's an old TV show I like called One Step Beyond. It's similar to Twilight Zone, but all the stories are supposedly true. Sort of early paranormal.

Anyhoo, it had an episode about the Titanic with people have premonitions and such. They covered that book written in 1898.

My cat will play the piano if we leave the lid open.
Usually about 3am.
Sometimes he sits on the bench and it's just one note, over and over. Other times he strolls from top note to bottom or vice versa. All 4 paws sounding different notes. He can get 6 note chords going.
It's amusing for about, oh, 10 or 20 seconds.

There is very little of the novel that made it unchanged into the film. The T-Rex attack in the rain, and maybe Dennis stealing the embryos, and a couple of other things. If you read it and then watch the movie back to back, you'll see what Spielberg's writer got right was the tone and the flavor, and the best action scenes. That's okay, though. It's a fantastic adventure either way.

35 Puppies meeting kittens: Remember, dogs and cats are not natural enemies. There's no wiring in the dog's head that says "Kitten! Kill!" (Individual dogs, maybe even some breeds, may have that wiring, but I don't think it's a species-wide trait.)

And the first kitten out of the carrier? Ringleader material. Probably brighter than his littermates, too. A future bundle of trouble for his humans.

The monster isn't so much "ravening" as it is . . . well, I can't think of a word, but it's not the Creature From the Black Lagoon or the Wolf Man. "Adaptable," maybe. Much more subtle and a much better adaptation of the original novelette, "Who Goes There?", than was the 1951 The Thing. Though there are some effects that are pretty gross.

Yeah, "rich as Creases" as one example. Plus the story is very much the kind of thing we've seen in big-screen copy films and TV movies for many years now. I've just finished going over his ms. for tomorrow night's meeting, and there's a lot of red on the pages. Story starts off well, he draws the characters nicely, but eeg, he has a lot of typos and unnecessary italics.

114 104 My favorite Doc Holiday line in Tombstone, delivered by Kilmer in upper crust Southern, is when Meehan is singing the praises of Tombstone, up and coming, the next San Francisco. And then the boys come roaring out of the saloon and Texas Jack (?) blows one away. Doc "Very cosmopolitan".

BinA, just for old times sake, we drove down to the Flats yesterday before getting to Cleveland Clinic. My wife was simply astounded - she had never been in the middle of a big steel plant area before. I told her she should have seen it 45 years ago! - So much of the old plants are gone.

179 > 96 As mentioned above, Kurt Russell has been with Goldie Hawn for decades. Now, you never hear her spouting much on politics, which is odd, she hailing from Takoma Park, MD. A real crazy town there.

Well Kurt was born in Portland ME (back before it became the nutty Somali refugee fortress it is now). Solid working class practical people back then.

I know, right.
If those lazy Canadians that haven't died or lost everything in the fires and the ones still able to breath regardless of the deadly smoke from forest fires (if that's what it is) can't be bothered to stop the threat at the international border then Biden should immediately close the Canada / USA border!
Illegal smoke has no home here.
