I recall the Kraffts being childhood heroes for fearlessly getting so intimate with erupting volcanoes and bringing their beautiful power to light in the 70s and 80s.
Herzog is the perfect choice for their story, even if he embellishes.

Um…long awaited sequel? Who was actually waiting for this?
There’s potential here, but I fear it’s another memberberry cash grab, washing every last cent possible out of everything that was good from my childhood leaving empty husks that once were fond memories. Fingers crossed I’m wrong.

It's my wife's & my mother-in-law's favorite. Told me they must've seen it a dozen times between them.

I can count on 1 hand how many times I've been to a movie in my youth, even though it's only a 3 minutes' walk from my family's condo back in my childhood years. It's just not a thing for my parents.... only once a year to the amusement park. But we're free to roam anywhere on our own.

This is your answer to 50 listed (and 1000 to come) pedophilic Republicans is a single unquoted tweet by a Republican operative best known for spreading false propaganda that you know no one will read because you are known to link to fake sites? ROTFLMFAHS!!! 😂 😂
Let me help you with that…don’t ignore #61

51Republican chairman of the Oregon Christian Coalition Lou Beres confessed to molesting a 13-year old girl

52 Republican County Constable Larry Dale Floyd was arrested on suspicion of soliciting sex with an 8-year old girl. Authorities say Floyd also was interested in a 3-year-old girl and 16-month-old boy.

53 Republican Party leader Bobby Stumbo was arrested for having sex with a 5-year old boy, in other words, rape.

54 Republican petition drive manager Tom Randall pleaded guilty to molesting two girls under the age of 14, one of them the daughter of an associate in the petition business.

56 Republican teacher and former city councilman John Collins pled guilty to sexually molesting 13 and 14-year-old girls.

57 Republican campaign worker Mark Seidensticker was found guilty of offering alcohol and cigarettes to a 14-year-old boy. Authorities accused him of having offered beer and cigarettes to a boy while driving a car with a trunk stocked with blankets, duct tape, rope, and a lubricant. Seidensticker worked on NH Republican state executive councilor Burton campaigns for more than a decade. Burton knew he was convicted of assault when he hired him.

Memories from my childhood *doublepromote

Nina. Fucking. Simone. There were some incredible artists during that time and then there was Nina Simone. Everything about her was amazing, from her childhood through the end of her career.

She sang this song -- totally new -- when MLK was killed. It is absolutely heartbreaking:

I think changing the flow of rain water through puddles is a universal childhood hobby. I can honestly say it has been a few weeks since I tried my hand at intelligent avulsion.

Making up for a lost childhood.

Nurburgring?

I dont have anything against racing electric cars. I think the endeavour to create a mechanical dolphin is most noble. Its still about pushing the limits.

And yet I find the world where the lion tamer cannot step into the cage, the monkey cannot bite your finger off through the bars and you cannot miss a gear heading out of a corner somehow less worth living than the world of my childhood. Yes the smells too.

Maybe the bears are going to miss riding the motorcycle around the arena. Lions born in captivity would be cargo cultists if set free. Push a button to overtake. Sad.

Sounds like someone had a bad childhood experience. ⛱️

They invented lead pipes (1), dumbing us all down (2)?

Some sweeping generalisations, not sure we can solve childhood trauma for everybody including ourselves.

But yes in general ghettoes, lack of education and social mobility, social exclusion of groups of people (say by color for example) are bad. These life circumstances can be improved or alleviated by state or public institutions easier than limiting drug supply.

So instead of assigning every addicted person a better trained shrink it might be easier and cheaper to get some prevention going. Reverse school segregation, make better schools financially viable for poor families, support meaningful social support programmes to allow families to leave problematic neighborhoods etc.

You can only save the fucked up ones if they want to be saved and they sure dont. Give them other options early in life. Save them quickly if they drop out of society the first time rather than punish them for life.

Fond memories of childhood, although my recollection is more with Blue Chip Stamps.
