Oh, no, Cocoon's a great movie! It's actually very sweet ... I usually feel good at the end of it!

I even like Cocoon 2, though it's not as logical as the first movie.

You're freaking me out here ... have either of you seen The Abyss?

I LOVE The Abyss

Another one of those "Aliens good, humans bad" movies, but it's still a great story and the cinematography was awesome!!

Just how cold is it there? Our David now has a car, so he doesn't have to wait for the bus anymore if he doesn't want to, so that's good.

I *think* I've seen "The Abyss". In fact, I think it's the movie I spent forever trying to remember so we could get it from Netflix, but ultimately failed.

Spoiler font to confirm...Does it involve a space ship found underwater, that turns out to be from the future - a la "Sphere", only different?

Don Ameche was GREAT in that movie!

One of my all-time favorite movies, along with "Stripes" and "Kelly's Heroes".

I gotta tell you what happened to me last night...

Steve's truck died, so we were actually pushing it to the car repair place (which is a few blocks from our house). It was hard work, but a neighbor saw us and offered to pull the truck with his truck. So I started back to the house. It was pretty cold out and I had worked up a sweat pushing the truck, so I was really cold. So the UPS guy drives by our truck and stops! I think he's going to give me a ride to my house! He actually just stopped to tell me he was driving through a big puddle, to wait till he drove by so he wouldn't splash me. I didn't realize that though and started to get in! He says "NO! I'll get fired!" Oh....ok. I was confused because I thought that he said I could ride along, but you know I'm so deaf and with the motor of his big brown truck, I must've misunderstood. So, he proceeds through the puddle and stops down the street and is delivering packages. Just as I approached my yard, so is he...dropping off a package at my very house. He looked at me like "What is she doing?" and I just looked directly back at him, my eyes never left his and I lifted up my hand and opened the garage door with the garage door opener. Then I turned and picked up my packages and went inside.

I believe I've seen Kelly's Heroes, but I don't think I've ever seen Stripes. Will have to rectify that!

May be...he did look a bit nervous...like he thought I was up to something. But sheesh, I told him I lived just down the street!

I understood his position, but it made me feel bad. As I was walking home trying not to slip, seeing him tooling along, I thought about James Kim...would he have given him a ride???

You obviously didn't look bedraggled enough! But I'm sure he WAS just worried about losing his job. Too many folks have nothing better to do than drop a dime on folks they think are doing wrong. If some busybody saw him giving someone a ride, they just might call UPS and report it, no matter how much the rider needed the lift.

Oh, I know. I really can't blame him and kept telling myself that. But it was just a bit discouraging.

~sigh~

Well, while the world is going to Hell in a handbasket...my Bug parts came in! Woohoo! New floor pans, new heater channel, new front chassis support beam!

No spoilers, but be prepared to see future comedy greats and near-greats just starting out in the movie bidness.
