They are only screening it in 3D this week tonight and on Wednesday evening. Tonight the kids come over for dinner, and Wednesday I'll be busy at my cardio gym class.

We enjoyed the movie. The language is a bit rough for kids (plenty of f-bombs, etc.). I liked the 3D IMAX experience, but my wife found it a bit overwhelming. Oh well, I guess there won't be a 3D IMAX home theater in my future. :D

We enjoyed the movie and I never noticed the f-bombs. I assume they were used at appropriate moments. When left behind on Mars I figure that is worth more that one cuss word.

I'm in the fart sack, thinking about making sleeping noises

We turned off the garden lights and did not turn on porch lights and had no rug rats trying to extort candy. Our plan work perfect.

Jim, no doubt I-max 3D is an experience way above just watching a movie. The huge 70 mm frame of film is so sharp and detailed and the 3D is cool.

Today we will see a regular movie I think the new Tom Hanks flick Bridge of Spies.

Let us know how you like it, Glen. :)

Just because it was Halloween I watched The Last Witchhunter last night. Not really what I would call a horror movie. Probly cause it had Vin Diesel to beat up the witches

Jim Richards 11-01-2015 06:52 AM

Next Halloween we'll be living in SoCal, and we'll do our bit for increasing childhood diabetes. :D

I got Beth to take a picture of me in my suit from last night and she said I was not allowed to post it on the internet because it "leaves nothing to the imagination"
But it was okay for me to be running around the neighborhood in it

RKDinOKC 11-01-2015 08:46 AM

After dark

That looks like a great movie. I'll have to try and catch it sometime...

Installed the new dusk to dawn vampire lights this afternoon. They came on at dusk just like they was opposed to. Actually they came on the exact same moment the street lights in front of and behind my house came on. New lights seem brighter than old ones, both have 13 watt bubs.

Spent the day with my mom and siblings talking about my brother. We went through his box of effects. I found out that the police wouldn't give my parents his driver's license back. They told them it belonged to the state of MI.

We then drove out to the cemetary where my mom insisted on getting pics of all of her kids with his headstone.

My Mom seemed pretty happy that we could all be there today. My little brother fell off a roof last weekend and broke his ankles but he was there, in a wheelchair and ALOT of pain.

Good flick. Intellectual and interesting. No big explosions or gun battles.

Most painful loss I've experience was my 1st golden that lived by my side for 17 years. Even more than any of my family members.

Remembered some of the training I used to make her the by my side dog that she was. It was called Command Performance. Any time she goes outside take her on-leash. Never drag her with or yank on the leash or holler, just wait till she stops pulling and when she starts to head back towards you enthusiastically use the "come" command and praise. Keep this up till she stops pulling on the leash.

It shouldn't take long for her to learn her limits, then start doing the "heel" training. Changing directions when she isn't paying attention so you either run into her, or she hits the end of her leash. Soon she will learn to stay right next to you and watch you so she can react to you.

Once she just heels naturally and stays by your side, put her on a long much lighter leash like a piece of cord, 20ft long. If she does well let go of the cord so she is just dragging it. When she starts to move away, just step on the cord. If she is too fast, chase after the cord not the dog and step on it. If she turns and starts heading back towards you use "Come" and praise when she does. As she ventures away less, shorten the cord. Keep it up until the cord is only inches long.

After a couple of months of all this you have a dog that stays right by your side WITHOUT A LEASH. And always gives you all her attention. That was just like my first golden.

I started this with Pepper on her 6 ft leash this evening while sitting out in the driveway waiting to watch the new vampire lights to come on. At first she pulled at the end of the leash. I said nothing and just waited for her to turn towards me, then I called her, she came and I praised her. She only went to the end of her leash 3 times, and got herself tangled up in the leash one of those three. Then she quickly settled down and sat or laid beside me in her loose leash range and watched the neighborhood. The next door neighbor was doing all kinds of stuff in his yard and driveway all the time we were out there.

It got kind of funny when the next door neighbor on the other side came out to put her trash to the curb, Pepper didn't know which one to watch. It was like she was watching a tennis match. Also a couple of three times people jogging and walking their dogs came by and Pepper just sat by me and watched them, I praised her. Normally she would have bolted for them.

When I got up and went to go in, she just naturally got up and walked right beside me in the heel position. Amazing.

Later she went out in the back yard to do her stuff, she did it then wanted right back in to be with me. Usually she wants to play outside for a while by herself before coming back in. Already more like my first dog, Penny.

Looks like the Command Performance stuff is really really good. I need to find my old VHS tapes and refresh myself. None of the other stuff I found on the internet was anything like it. By the limits not being directly associated with you yelling out commands it teaches the dog to do things you want them to do because you keep them out of trouble instead of causing it. None of this treats or clicker stuff.
