      I watched that movie on my plane ride yesterday. I actually liked it. The Mike Myers cameo was a real nice bit. Brian May's character was spot on and Rami Malek was terrific. Maybe it helped that I had low expectations going in.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        I watched "But I'm A Cheerleader" last night; good comedy that points up the folly of gay conversion therapy.

          Very funny movie. I can't believe that 20 years later we're not only still dealing with these dopes but one of them's the VP.

                All the nopes. I don't doubt it's a great doc, but I'd prob pee my pants watching it. I am afraid of heights. I freak out on rollercoasters.
                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                      I have severe acrophobia as in if I watch a plane too long I pass out (true story). I loved it, but I could only watch it because I knew he would be okay.

                        I’m pretty scared of heights as well, though seemingly not as bad as you two, and I can’t wait to see it.

                        I really think it’s the greatest physical feat in human history. To be able to suppress fear and have perfect execution where a single mistake means certain death is beyond anything I can comprehend.

                        I like what the guy in the trailer said, “if you know a little bit about climbing, you think ‘oh, he’s totally safe’ but people who know a lot about climbing and know exactly what he’s doing are just freaked out

                        This isn’t like a two-hour marathon or winning six Super Bowls or even being the first to climb Everest. This is complete and total mastery and control over the most complex machine ever put on this earth: the human body and mind.

                              That guy is Tommy Caldwell, a pro climber that's put up some of the hardest free climbs on El Cap (not free solo, free climbing and free soloing are different things but media often confuses the terms). Tommy was recently the subject of another climbing documentary, The Dawn Wall. Tommy also said to "Imagine an Olympic-gold-medal-level athletic achievement that if you don't get that gold medal, you're going to die" to describe free soloing El Cap, which I think is a pretty good way to describe it.

                              Anyway, Free Solo was great. I saw it in theaters twice. Once when it first ran, and then again when it came to the pizza and beer theater in town. I would have seen it a third time if they had shown it in IMAX in Maine.

                                I agree on the feat itself. That's just friggin' crazy to be able to even ATTEMPT that, much less accomplish it.
