    gambo, you're like Kevin Kline from The Big Chill!

    (one of my favorite films; please tell me you've seen it, otherwise my comment will seem awkward)

    Good luck with the bat & broom.
  • I prefer Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda, but to each her own.

    I don't recall there being any bats involved in that one, though.

    I like Kevin Kline but I haven't seen The Big Chill.
    If he goes into batbattle alone and unassisted, then it is a more appropriate reference than The Great Outdoors or Black Sheep.
    I know there have to be a few more out there as well.
    My first thought was that it is an overused gag, my second thought was that I must look damn funny dodging this bat like it's an Ebola spreading vampire.

    Ace Ventura has some good bat scenes.
    Hedo,Gambs is to young for The Big Chill.We kinda are also.Its a baby boomer movie for sure.

    gambo, you should see me when a bee is in the vicinity =)

    rr, I have BOTH soundtracks on vinyl! I wouldn't mind giving the film a watch sometime soon. Not of their era but there's something I love about it all.

    often, I've seen the Fish film only once and dug it. Can't go wrong with all who were involved in its making.

    B, I'm currently catching this doc on Showtime called Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church, and my first thought was that I actually know a lucky mofo who saw him live =)

    It just started and is getting cranked!

    Ooh! Nice! We don't get Showtime so I hope the put it out on DVD. I've never seen a Hendrix documentary that I found more than moderately satisfying (and I've got about 10 of them on tape and DVD). I hope this one is good!

    It's true- I am a lucky mofo to have seen Jimi! Oddly enough, I'd have to say the best part about seeing Jimi those two times was the first time, waiting in line outside Winterland in S.F. Out of the blue, Jimi started doing a sound check by himself and in that big hall, with hardly anyone inside, the sound was enormous standing next to those walls. His guitar playing was massive and soaring and reverberated out into the cool night air. It was like hearing God in the next room creating a new universe.

    Let us know how you like the documentary!

    I loved it. It was...RICH.

    Very much worth the intake.

    (and it was TWO times? Son of a....!)

    Cool! I'll watch for it.

    Yes, two times- I guess that makes me a double mofo, LOL. Winterland in 1968 and Northern California Folk-Rock Festival- 1969. By '69 The Experience were near to breaking up and the vibe was not as good but... no complaints!

    Ya know,some evenings require a certain next level playlist.

    PJ 10,Soundgarden Superunknown,Nirvana Nevermind,Foo fighters(multiple albums) and yes the great Kelly Clarkson(such a great vocalist,voice like butta) on random shuffle Playlist.

    Cooking my special mushroom pot roast in a crock pot.My house smells like my childhood,hahah drinking a Goose Island 312,and spending quality time with Mr Bud Greene.I fucking love Saturday nights.I hope you all are well.

    I took a short beach ride early this morning, just chilling now trying figure out the rest of the day. This I know will include music of all sorts but for now I'll jam this one from my favorite violinist.....

    God, there's nothing like that smell.

    Sounds like a fine evening, rr. Love Saturday nights too - we on-demanded the latest Mad Max, which going into it blind, was pretty good.

    And it feels soooo nice knowing tomorrow's a holiday.

    My house got hit by lightning yesterday.It fried 3 cable boxes,modem and the hdmi cables to my sat box.So I was without TV last night. music and my iPad were the only way to go after momma fell asleep.It was an old school kinda evening for sure.Was able to get Sat box back online today.

    That was a good Mad Max,I liked it.Im a big Tom Hardy fan.

    Heading out to see Lady Antebellum and Hunter Hayes tonight.I figured I got the tickets why not just go and chill and see how it goes.Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
    Enjoy your evening all.
  • hedonisthedonist Posts: 24,524
    Ouch. Haven't ever experienced that but glad you two are OK aside from the other damage.

    I had no idea who Hardy was but seems like he should've been in 300. And Charlize, whoa! BADASS.

    I've heard good things about Lady A - enjoy your evening too, my friend.
  • brianluxbrianlux Posts: 41,602
    Sounds exciting, rr! I mean, not that you want to get hit by lightning but yeah, I understand! I was camping in an old Ford van I had back in the seventies with my then girl friend and lightning went down the antenna and into the engine and blew out the solenoid. My girl friend was freaked out but I was like, "Whoa! Cool!" But then for the rest of the trio I had to start the van by arcing the starter with a screw driver, lol!

    Solenoid sounds like something Professor Frink would say =)

    Looked up the term and learned something new today!

    AND that its inventor is after whom the ampere is named.

    Can't remember on which thread, but awhile ago I posted how I learned that "lux" is defined as a unit of illumination.

    Go figure :peace:
