Ankle update

 


 Still bouncing up without the pacing system, despite the ankle.  Pacing is required to avoid injury.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The only reason the King's Daughter is on the hard drive is the footage of Versailles.  Besides being a mane intensive movie, lions noted the modern LED lighting.  There was no replacing all those LEDs with period candles, but it wasn't very obvious unless scanned frame by frame.











This watery location actually was not a lake but small streams around the temple of love, facing south during the golden hour. 



The heroine married the pirate captain in real life, a year after making the movie.  She was his #2.  Lions could imagine what a joyous marriage it was for her at age 23.  They split up after she made 2 more of his kids.  Polyamory at its best.




Viewers pay a heavy price for those visuals, in the form of a zillion corny subplots.  Instead of making up corny subplots to justify showing off Versailles, they could have made a day in the life of the sun king.




 

 

At least the heroine was easy on the eyes.  It was shot in 2014 when she was 22.  She had a Resident Evil part, 8 years later.  Must have been weird to have both movies released in 2022 with her aging 8 years between them.


Pierce Brosnan & William Hurt




Her makeup was on & off between takes. 





Before & after 8 years of marriage.



The 2021 episode brings lions up to all 7 live action movies.  They'll never be watched again except maybe as ambient noise.

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
