The Electric Speakeasy

I think I'll kick one off. I've had several others over the years. I must be born under a lucky star.

Maybe I should start a thread about unexplained experiences. There was a place near where I grew up in the woods of New England. It was behind this old man's house. The house burned down, killing the old man when I was around nine or ten. A couple/few years later, my friends and I were poking around...

I really enjoyed the movie. I hadn't read the book in more than a couple decades so I honestly barely remembered anything about it. Thank you for detailing the combined characters, I knew something was 'off' but couldn't remember it. That didn't kill my enjoyment of the movie at all though. Branagh ...

That makes sense. I saw an article recently stating that Brennan was threatening to sue. I sincerely hope he does because as I understand it, he doesn't have a legitimate legal leg to stand on. "Courtesy" ranks and privileges can be revoked for any reason whatsoever - even a very bad personal one - ...
