Death Wish 2018

Bruce Willis did a solid job but Charles Bronson was the best. More vigilante killing of the scumbags would have been nice. 

Elizabeth Shue is a beautiful woman. I hate Chicago. I didn't see any automats in the movie. 

Without giving away the ending, I'll just say the last person who dies on screen should have been slowly dismembered while still alive in front of his Mom.

Has she done anything since Karate Kid?

Lots.  Gorgeous.  No way she would be with Bruce Willis in real life.

Bruce Willis wasn't right for Cybill Shepherd either.

....I thought that about the house we bought up in the foothills, on 5 acres of Ponderosa pine and incense cedar, some of which appeared to be 100 years old. I put in a lot of garden landscaping with some very interesting plants and old roses behind chain link where the deer could not eat them, and it already had a couple of apple trees.  And a very nice (seasonal) stream flowed through one side of the property.  It had a driveway at least a quarter mile long, and it was a paved driveway (rare up there).  Huge basement for workshop space, and a ginormous metal outbuilding the size of an airplane hanger.

It turned out to be too much work.  It was fun while it lasted, but my feeling now is that buying that enormous olde house to fix up and restore the garden is a bad idea if you are getting on toward retirement age.

It's probably going to end up in smoke anyway.

...might already have happened two years ago.  They had a big fire in that area that went right up along the canyon of the Mokelumne, and the house was in an area along the periphery.  I haven't had the courage to drive up there and see if it's still standing.  I met the current owner about four or five years back. With that long driveway and all those trees, it wasn't the most defensible space.

"And they were mostly right...    ....who were killed in late July when a car intentionally plowed into them on a rural road in the mountains of Tajikistan. After the crash, the attackers also stabbed their victims,"
