City Lights (Chaplin) -- I tear up at the end every time. There. Can. Be. NO. Resolution. 💔
Sophie's Choice -- I've only watched it once -- as a young, carefree and single 20-something -- and I refuse to watch it ever again -- as a parent of 4 children. 😭

I saw Brian Wilson, Al Jardine and his son Matt, and Blondie Chaplin recreate Pet Sounds in 2018 in Ottawa. Brian had had back surgery several months prior and couldn't walk without help. He sat at the piano and played and whispered when he had the energy. Thankfully, the other former and...
I went to Sting's show in Ottawa 2 years ago with my eldest teenage daughter (we're both big fans, although I have a few decades' head start, lol), and it was WONDERFUL!
He absolutely rocked the place, was fun and playful in between songs, and rearranged most of the tunes for more oomph. (Think...
Old Gen X here. I still say record / disque for 33s, 45s and 78s, but Millenials refer to vinyls / vinyles. That's a grammatically acceptable construct -- the substantive adjective.
Examples: deliverables, highs and lows, reds and yellows, drunks, diabetics, vegetarians, the few, the sick, the...
You're thinking of the two-line pass, which was made legal again 15-20 years ago (it was first adopted during WWII, IIRC). Offside happens when both of a player's skates cross the offensive blue line before the puck.

Lindros and LeClair came to mind first for me, too, lol! Big, fast, strong and nasty: Lemieux, Jagr, Ovechkin, Lucic, Brett Hull, Cam Neely, Maurice Richard, Béliveau, Howe, Frank Mahovlich, Phil Esposito...
Peak Gretzky would have scored 300-400 points a season. 80s NHL was already pretty much...
NHL has dump and chase because the rink is smaller -- slapping the puck into the end boards means it stays in the offensive zone unless it takes a weird bounce near the goalie, who can then just shovel it out. And the better teams don't dump and chase all that often unless they've got a big...
I'm gutted, but resigned to the injustice. We see this more often in the NHL and the NFL -- a skilled player is deliberately injured and out for a lengthy period, while the perpetrator rarely gets more than a ban of a few games and a risibly small fine. Every time this happens, a hue and cry is...
Damn, it looks like they'll be playing on the 17th.
Well, at least that increases our chances of advancing -- Wolves are at home to Newcastle on the 15th and visit Villa on the 21st; they'll be fielding an even less competitive starting XI than us.

My youngest daughter and I will be vacationing in Brighton and London September 19-27 and attending the home tie vs Forest on the 22nd. It'd be fantastic if the Wolves match was held 3 days later!
🤞🤞.
