Sorta figured that post wasn't written by Bob. Didn't have his meandering style. I didn't have the quotes and name...... I didn't find it. There's a reason that I put this because it's a beautiful film - weird and wacky humor - and romance

.... a closer look.
Where does your attention go when you are not consciously directly it? What do you think about when you’re waiting for the bus, standing in the grocery line, or lying down to fall asleep at night? What kinds of emotions or moods do you gravitate towards when nothing else is happening? When you notice your heart and mind stuck in some unhelpful loop, ruminating, complaining or grumbling, can you take a step back inside? Consider: what would be most helpful right now? Where can I put my attention that will be uplifting or grounding? Soothing or steadying? Healing or comforting?
This isn't about avoiding or denying the hardships in life, but about exercising more choice over how we use our mind, and what we cultivate in the heart.
When in doubt, here are three places to place your attention that can help nourish your spirit, and cultivate the best in you:
1. Notice beauty: Look and listen for the natural beauty that is present in everyone and the world around us. Linger there and let it in. 2. Practice gratitude: Turn your attention to anything you appreciate or feel grateful for. Give yourself time to let this register. 3. Offer kindness: Aim your heart towards kindness. Silently wishing well to yourself and those around you, reaching for the sincerity of the wish.

Sydneysider Danny Morgan, a simple man who works for a concrete company, is prone to daydreaming to escape his life, those daydreams often of his unique ideas. Of late, those daydreams have been about his and his longtime girlfriend Trudy Dunphy's imminent vacation, a camping trip which Danny has been planning for a year. Eventually learning that Trudy, a real estate agent, lied to get out of the trip to spend time with a famous client, television sportscaster Sandy Upman, is just the latest manifestation that Trudy is drifting away from Danny, who she sees as just a concrete man while she aspires to something or someone more exciting like Sandy. With the vacation now a no-go leaving him with a couple of weeks free with nothing to do but have his mind wander, Danny, with an unexpected windfall of free giant balloons, ponders whether they, filled with helium and tied to a deckchair, would be able to lift him in the deckchair up into the air. Danny's balloon deckchair experiment will have not only a profound effect on him, but that of Glenda Lake of Clarence, she a lonely parking enforcement police officer who has felt lost in life, while Trudy also sees it as another possible restart to her and Danny's relationship in that proverbial fifteen minutes of fame in their lives.
In this charming little comedy from down under, Writer/Director Jeff Balsmeyer takes us inside the lives of 2 people we really like and one ... well maybe not so much. The 3 lead actors are excellent in their roles, especially Rhys Ifan (Notting Hill and Once Upon a Time in the Midlands). Miranda Otto plays the parking cop who brings him back to life, while Justine Clark is tremendous as the glory seeking user that we have all met at least once. The story, while getting started in a very unique manner, settles into a traditional little romantic comedy for awhile. What makes this one a little different is watching the changes in the faces of the three leads. They each experience joy and heartbreak in their own way. This one deserves a look.

I just saw the whole thread. I still don't like that satire film humor. I don't think I'll ever see it again. There's great satires - Dr S. or Kings of Hearts !!

I've seen all that stuff in the East/south London WWII museum. There are videos and pictures etc etc.
There's a unique room.... It sounds like German with bombs .... The room was "a tilting the floors" I almost fell on my floor... My 7 year old son was there. "It was a war"

Good morning I watched a good movie - Ricardos. But I don’t think it wasn’t a Oscar (Nicole Kidman’s Lucy Ball). It shouldn’t be Sofia Vergara. It was a great story about the 50s New York CBS executives. It wasn’t that great. Desi’s was great - Javier B.
It’s another Sunday football -
And it’s still music day.
Enjoy yourself and the Sunday day.

I'm getting tired the new alternate "Alex T" every week.... I'm not watching it very much ..... I was a fanatic 1991-2021. I almost was a TV gamer. But I had two tests.... I passed THEN and I was almost "in the big shew" too low the percentage. Third test... They "fired" me....... They said "come back will do it again. You were close in Jeopardy .... Hollywoody"

I think I just woke up. I had a banana and some liquid.... pills. I've been listening to some music - classical/spiritual pianoforte. Soon I'll be outside.... a fortunate man and a MASK. So how can't you see my goddamn smile? It's there..... Enjoy your day.
