What do you recommend?

Good Friday evening.

What would you recommend? Books, movies, food, drinks, whatever.

I would recommend the documentary Finders Keepers (Netflix) and The Hunting Ground (Netflix). What's Wrong with Aunt Diane (YouTube) is also good IMO.

The movie Big Eyes (E-library) was very interesting.

I recommend getting a board game, a few pizzas and going over to a family member or friends and playing an old-fashioned board. Yes, the kids, including teens, must participate.(30 minutes of participation for every slice of pizza. Ha!)

Tell someone you love them-strongly recommend!

There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane tore me up.

Read too much about it, and still don't understand. Not for a fun weekend.

I will tell someone that I love them. Watch out.

Oh, I thought danie meant that she was watching the documentary.

Same icons, either way.

When your day is not going just right-- step back and think about others who suffer in silence. Then say a thank you for that which has been given to you.

Books- any and all SK. Inspiration by Wayne Dyer.
Drinks- a good quality herbal tea with a spot of honey or lemon.

I love board games. I have to beg someone to play though. Teenagers - pfft! I like Scrabble. And I highly recommend jigsaw puzzles. I can do both of those by myself and look pitiful until someone joins me.

How about - tell someone you love them without using words?

If it doesn't rain tomorrow - we're planting flowers !!!

Books: you can't go wrong with any volume of Best American Short Stories (even though it says "American, there's lots of diversity in there - it's just published in America).
edit: Of course, anything SK - that's a given, but if you haven't yet: Dark Tower.

I like to pinterest when I'm bored or avoiding housework. Tomorrow I have to housework if I can't plant flowers. If you pinterest, hollah and I"ll follow you and you can follow me and it'll be great fun.

"My advice to you is to start drinking heavily....."-Bluto from Animal House

For music, tonight I recommend checking out Thelonious Monk. Straight, No Chaser is a good place to start. Monk was a genius. Very punk jazz!

For a movie, I recommend The Gift.

For drinks, Red Sangria. Had a few glasses earlier with dinner. Tasty!

For books, check out the Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Mayberry. Good stuff there.

Tonight's dinner was a roasted pepper, caramelized onion, and olive pizza. I recommend that as it was yummy!

 

[Blake]

Movies and some mulled wine(depending on how cold it is)

Music wise, I don't know the age group, but say something from the 70's, say the top 10 song by year from 1970-79 of the Billboard top 100.

Movie: Short Circuit(Number five is alive)

Drinks: Cocktails.

Books: no books, graphic novels.

Food: Boiled corned beef with all the vegetables in a French white sauce.

Get out of the house and do something.

My youngest and her friend went to a high school play in another town but it was sold out. On the way back they were lamenting about not being able to get quality dried fruit and how the stuff they sell in bags was crap. I said "road trip." We must have driven about 20 miles, stopping at several places, until we found a place that had them. They sampled everything and we came away with about 5 pounds of dried pineapple, apricot, mango, bananas, cranberries, cherries, and apple chips. Plus some homemade candy, of course, and tofutti ice cream cones

Well said, Spidey.

Going for a walk in an old neighborhood you used to frequent back in the day. It's good to look at old things anew sometimes.

 

[Grandpa]

I would recommend:

A walk in your neighborhood, in the woods, in the mountains. If you have a chance, stroll through Muir Woods north of San Francisco.

Good scotch. You can't go wrong with Macallan, but if you don't want to spend that much, Highland Park 12 and Balvenie Double Wood punch above their weight.

As a movie, Iron Will. Not my favorite by any means, but came away from it uplifted and saying, "That was surprisingly good."

Book titles, I'm getting arrogant enough to recommend my own.

And travel. I highly recommend travel. Whether you're getting in a car and driving or buying a ticket to a magical getaway. Go travel.

 

[mcpon14]

I'd recommend Mafia. Two people are bad guys and you are trying to vote them off but first you are trying to figure out who the two are. Clues are given to everybody but the two bad guys are given a different but similar clue. Each person says a word or phrase that has something to do with the clue. The bad guys try to guess everybody else' clue by the word or phrase given by the people so they can say something that relates to everybody else' clue so they can avoid suspicion. If the group as a majority don't guess the bad guys, then the bad guys win.

Well, first off, for people who are Christians, there are the Good Friday offices. In Mexico, there are quite a few "living" Via Crucis (no idea how to pluralize that at the moment). Then there are prayers at the temple.

After that, or for people who are not into those, I recommend...

Netflix's Daredevil!

The second season is out and I have had no time to watch it yet. I think I will not have time even during Good Friday, but if others can use these extra free time to enjoy it (and the first season, and Jessica Jones, too), then I am happy.

Has anyone seen Batman v Superman? I'm going to see it tomorrow, I've heard the critics don't like it, but I've heard that it is pretty good.

I really liked it. I can tell you, without spoilers, the 3 things I did not like about the movie: the sequence at the beginning, the way Barry looks, and the whole way they portrayed Mexico.

Loved most everything else (especially Lex and Diana), and can forgive a couple of things that may not be great.

A fourth thing I did not like days after watching the movie came from realizing something that is not evident during the movie. It is not something absolutely bad, but may hurt if you have emotional investment in the subject at hand.
