| On a lighter note, I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time a couple of weeks ago and indeed it's something. After reading up about it it mostly just seems a lot of simple ideas wrapped up in a needlessly cryptic package. Although it's ambiguity does lead to a lot of interesting interpret... |

Last night we watched Free Guy [2021] again.
(Though maybe my bride only gets partial credit...even though she insists she was awake.)
I still think it is a great film!
(For folk who like movies like TRON [1982] or The Matrix [1999].) |

| Well...the online quizzes do not provide a diagnosis...but they seem to suggest your suspicions that you might be Autistic are quite reasonable. The good news is you have some of the traits but they are not so strong that they remove all doubt. That's good! If your traits were strong enough to remov... |

All I can offer is encouragement to keep on trying to progress, no matter how unpleasant things get. Don't give up. You know these are all things yo... |

| I think the 2001: A Space Odyssey viewing experience depends upon if you've read the book . => - If you've read the book the movie provides spectacular pictures for what you'd read. => - If you've not read the book the movie is bewildering. When I saw the movie in a theater with family I was the onl... |
