More clearing of Everett & 10th

Here’s a view from the corner of NW 10th & Everett.  The building I watched being torn down has been exposed as having a separate room walled off in its corner.  Also, we’re seeing sides of buildings that haven’t seen the light in many years.

Urbanite.  This pile makes me think there might have been some amount of recycling happening.

What was in this corner?  Refrigerator?  Well-insulated bathroom?  I won’t ever know.

Three sentence movie reviews: Band Aid

There was so much to like about this movie, especially the way it captured a long-standing couple’s frustrations underscored by waning feelings of love. I’m a fan of how-the-band-got-started films and this was that, but also stirred in a rare helping of established couple falling back in love.  Written and directed by a woman, it includes plot points I don’t usually see in films.

Cost: $5.00 (plus I opted for a sandwich.  The Living Room Theater makes great sandwiches)
Where watched: Living Room Theater

Three sentence movie reviews: The Brady Bunch Movie

First watched at a midnight movie in 1995 while visiting my friend on the Albertson College of Idaho Campus, I did a re-watch solely because of the positive review and discussion on the Next Picture Show #79. What I found was not only a fabulous send-up of the titular TV show, but also an amazing time capsule of the 90s.*  Everything about this gentle satire is pitch perfect.

Cost: free from libary
Where watched: at home with Matt

*Like a frog in the slowly warming pot of water, I had no idea in 1995 just how iconic everything not-Brady would look 22 years later.
