Yeah. But like I said, they saw the writing on the wall at least. I feel they did do a fine enough job wrapping it up and we weren't left with a Firefly situation or anything. My old man saw the movie but his opinion was that they waited too long. Everybody looked so much older 10 years later, so instead of following up on recent events like an immediate movie would have, it followed their lives many years later and I think they kind of filled in the blanks with exposition.

Well, the Carradine version was done in the 70s and a lot of cheesy movies from that time came out.
Yeah. I think it's probably a movie I would have loved if I saw it when I was a kid. I didn't actually watch it until after I watched the 2008 version though, so there was no nostalgia there for me. It was still better than the new one though, IMO although they both have their pros and cons and neither comes close to being a great flick.

Love Kurt Russell but The Thing didn't do anything for me.
Maybe you don't have the trust issues I've got. Good for you.

Now Escape from New York that I liked.
I love the Escape movies. It's great how LA is just an unashamed ripoff of NY with a higher budget. It's hard for me to say which one I like better since despite the glaring similarities thrown in your face they're both quite different in tone. It's almost like LA is a spoof of NY.
I was always sad we never got that Escape From Earth movie to round out the trilogy.
Kurt could still do it. I'd love to see Old Man Plisken finally get off this rock and we could imagine one day he meets up with Old Man Mal and the Firefly crew.

Shopping today. There's currently 3 simultanious ads out at the big box store, with two of them ending today. I probably waited too long for some of the stuff that will be sold out, but they've got more than 20 4-packs of various tools for the end of my newish multitool that are only $10 after rebate, so it's worth the trip for me to see if they have anything else I was interested in.
They've got some corner guard trim that's on clearance for a good price. I think when I build my shelving for the pantry I want to use that to cap them off rather than router nice edges to them. I might be using extra plywood I have out in the garage for the shelves, and I could easily screw the edges up with my router since it wouldn't be solid boards.
Might pick up some food while I'm out, but I don't really need to.
Taking advantage of the WARM day. They say it might actually get up to 30 degrees! I forget what the 30's feel like.

Closure in tv shows is important and that is good.
I went and looked it up after I left here and I have seen the 2008 version and it wasn't as good. Definitely preferred the David Carradine one. I must have watched that when I was in high school on tv some late night. Carradine's came out in 1975.
Yeah, I've seen both Escape movies but I still prefer New York to the LA one.
I don't feel quite the same way. I think the two films were just fine.

Sunny Sunday. Nice, quiet.

The corner guard trim on clearance was just pressed wood garbage with a thin veneer wrapped around it and half peeling off in the middle. No way I'm using any of that. Oh well.
I just bought $180.00 worth of stuff though, and after the rebate comes in it will have cost me less than $15.00.
A lot of it is for me, but I'll have plenty more to give away this round.
I think today is going to be a cleanup day. Nothing has gotten gross, but as I usually do while in the middle of the project I just let stuff pile up everywhere and I've got to get everything back to its home now before cleaning around the kitchen sink area and giving the bathroom a good cleanup.

PICTURES!
I don't even remember why I took a picture of the pantry when the door was off, but I'm glad I did because I forgot to take any before pictures of the shelving in there before starting the work on it. Unfortunately, that means that I don't have any pictures of the pantry with bare shelves unless I can manage to dig up one from the photos I took when I was originally house hunting.
Two pictures illustrating how badly damaged and discolored the walls and shelf brackets were.
The horrible, dirty, somewhat damaged floor.
The mysterious hole that was filled in with plaster or something. I neglected to snap a picture of it before sanding it down, but it was probably bubbled out about 1/2" at the bottom where the weight of the wet stuff just sagged. It needed an extra coat of mud after that but you can't see it now. I really think they made this hole to fish up the phone line in the kitchen and some point and didn't ever care to repair it.
You can really get a good feel for how gross and damaged the walls and baseboard were from the closeup.
Nice and clean with the new floor. 
A better view of the floor and how I cut it out around the existing door frame.
Not pictured is how much work went into prepping and caulking the interior door frame to the walls inside. Nobody will ever see it, but at least I know it looks awesome now.
The only tape I put down was on the floor around the baseboard, even though I knew it was going to be covered up with the new floor. Everything else was cut in meticulously by hand. THREE FREAKIN TIMES because Pittsburgh Ultra paint sucks.
