Finally caught up with generation X by watching Failure To Launch.  The generation Z version was No Hard Feelings.  Both were about parent hired escorts who became more.  33 year old Hunger Heroine reprising her role as a dominant warrior definitely worked better than 41 year olds Sarah, Jessica, & Parker.  Actually recognized the final bar scene from syndication but forgot the rest.

 


 

The highlight might have been Dr. Werner Brandes making an appearance.



Sarah, Jessica, & Parker peaked in Navigator

Lions pondered why  No Hard Feelings did so much better than  Failure to Launch on the internet.  Both had the big stars of their time.  Lions believe the McConaughey character was not likeable for his time. Nowadays, polyamory is a hit because of Elon & the population decline gag.  In 2006, a guy who wasn't very wealthy, chewing up women & spitting them out might have revived negative memories of Bill Clinton.  It never clearly defined McConaughey's wealth. 

It got common in the last 20 years for animals to live with their parents.  Paying for escorts got a lot more common in lieu of relationships.  The concepts have gotten a lot less ridiculous.

No Hard Feelings could have had a happier ending, no matter what.  It didn't do itself any favors by having the heroine leave town.  They could have gone on as lovers at 21 & 33.  An age difference of 12 wouldn't have been a deal breaker if they got back together at 53 & 41.  Helas, No Hard Feelings was an airplane movie & lions always forget airplane  movies.

Very ambitious zoom climbs up to 9minute/mile & 1 peek at 8minute/mile.  Would be surprising if lions could still run tomorrow.  Strange pattern where such effort worsens an injury for the 1st 4 weeks, then improves recovery after week 4.  It could be the formation of scar tissue having a role.

Bombing protein doesn't seem to do anything below a certain amount of effort, but lions continue to hope for the best.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
