1 year after wicked 1, started on Wicked 2, realizing the magic was gone without the original cast. https://growmane.blogspot.com/2025/01/lions-had-basically-memorized-wicked.html       Discovering the yellow brick road was built with animal abuse changed the whole thing.  A bit random for a civilization which had steam power.        Trophy wife, forever without cross glasses.    Cowardly lion finally showed up.  They overdid the cowarding.  There were some new songs not in the soundtrack.  Some old songs were shortened, like Wonderful.  The origins of all the old songs were finally revealed but lions heard them enough to 2x them. Young lion assumed Idina was converting humans into animals, but in reality they were always animals & the antagonist schoolmaster was banishing them.  Then 1 by 1, the origin of the tin man & the straw man were revealed.  They were the love interests of greenie & ...

    Walnuts crushed.  11 minute pace with a very slow cadence has been manageable on a daily basis for the tendon.  11 minutes was what lions manely managed before 2016.  5.5 hours would be the tail end of what would finish an organized marathon, but an organized marathon wouldn't be concerned with preserving the tendon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------       Just like that, the 2 hour marathon was broken in an official race.  It's all about carbon plated shoes.  Kind of like Barkley, no-one winning & suddenly 2 winning in a year.  Interestingly, the super shoes weigh as much as racing flats 15 years ago, 3oz.  It makes lions wonder if a CF plate should be sandwiched in sandals. No-one has documented the shape of the CF plate in their 10 year existence or how they achieve springiness.  There's no money to be made in showing a western...

 The 2023 telling of Boudica was an interesting viewing.   After discovering Boudica 25 years ago & many documentaries, it was the 1st telling of the story in movie form.  Lions watched it at 1.5x, getting just enough of the scottish dialog.    Things stay manely true to history, except perhaps how easy on the eyes she was.  Reality was a bit hideous on the eyes.   Mr B didn't last long.  He was apparently drafted by the Romans & killed battling another tribe.    Boudica discovers the barbarians at 13 minutes.      Decapitation is the preferred kill method.  Anyone who talked the talk in favor of the Romans was instantly decapitated.  The barbaric tactics of the less civilized natives are revealed early on.  It was the barbarian tribe which converted Boudica to a warrior & showed her the ways of decapitation.   The magic bronze sword was revealed at 21:05 by Mr. B, forged by druids....
