I’m not very interested, although it does have an excellent cast.
Sometimes, the best actors can be overwhelmed by a bad plot and poor acting from the rest of the crew. Not to mention poor direction.
I’ve been known to walk out of movies.
I’ve been known to fall asleep! I’m told the whole cast did a good job on Batman. I’m just not into the superhero and comic book thing.
I never had an interest in Batman, period. The only time I had any interest was when my son was little and the series was on TV. That was FUN!
These movies aren’t supposed to be fun!
Well, I need to go herd some byos. They’re supposed to be watching Tom play “Pacific Assault,” but they seem to be invading the kitchen!
I don’t LIKE movies that aren’t fun!!! LOL!
So the byos are playing “Kitchen Assault?”
Anoreth and Bill liked the movie. I did Greek flash cards with the byos, and then showed them “There Goes a Train!”
Slash has lost another toe. He seems to have knocked it off on his own, instead of Santana’s biting it. Hard-luck lizard.

It would seem that your young dragon is living up to it's mythical heritage as a font of wisdom.
I took the liberty of pinging you to the plastic bag rant I posted late last night, so you must tell me how you liked it.
The material is original, but I got the idea from someone else who had just such an incident happen to them.
Yoiks. How can you knock off your own toe?
Maybe Slash needs a new moniker: Like Joe Btzfrxk? Or something else with its own little hovering rain cloud...
My comments from the plastic bag ban thread:
“I don’t like paper because cockroaches like to hide in the creases, and I don’t like plastic because it’s too flimsy.
“I buy the fabric bags, but not because I’m going “green;” it’s a softer, quieter way to bring in the groceries. Besides: When not occupied with groceries, those fabric bags are handy for LOTS of things!!!”
Oh, that happens when you come around the corner too fast, cut it a bit too close, and ram your foot -- toes first -- sideways across the corner where the baseboards meet.
Other candidates are squarish table legs, and the lower corners of filing cabinets, book Cass, and other similar furnishings.
The odd engine block resting on the floor in the garage will do in a pinch.
Done properly the lateral momentum focused at the corner's edge is sufficient to deform one or more toes sideways to the failure point of the underlying skeletal structure. While this impact, alone, will not likely result in severance of the digit, the likelihood of complete severance increases proportionally with the sharpness of the impacted corner, and the angle of approach, and the pain will be every bit as severe as if severance had occurred.
Also, it is widely agreed that, unless the injury is to the big toe, recovery from complete severance is actually more rapid, and less painful than recovery from breakage due to this kind of blunt force trauma. Note that advocacy for whatever course of action this may lead you to pursue is expressly disclaimed hereby.
Dragons have very delicate toes. Fortunately, the reptile vet has taken a personal interest in poor Slash, and is undertaking his podiatry for a single flat fee, plus medications.
Nope. And even less now. Spent the day cranking on the last work item left from my time as committee chair, but finished it.
Just trying out a new tagline.
I found with just a little effort and imagination you can make almost any object work. e.g.
Phone book
Shoe box
Case iron goat in neighbors yard.
Question: When do you use i.e., and when do you use e.g., and what do they mean?
Answer: The Latin abbreviations “i.e.” and “e.g.” come up very frequently in writing and would probably come up more often if people were more sure of when it is right to use “i.e.” and when “e.g.” is required. To me, the only way to figure it out is to know what they stand for.
i.e.
“I.e.” stands simply for “that is,” which written out fully in Latin is ‘id est’. “I.e.” is used in place of “in other words,” or “it/that is.” It specifies or makes more clear.
e.g.
“E.g.” means “for example” and comes from the Latin expression exempli gratia, “for the sake of an example,” with the noun exemplum in the genitive to go with gratia in the ablative . “E.g.” is used in expressions similar to “including,” when you are not intending to list everything that is being discussed.
And is it living up to expectations? What is its actual performance relative to predictions (how good was the model)? *\;-)
