SO - Netflix - I'm currently watching the Mini-series "The Lost Room" and it's really good. The official blub about this series is
"Detective Joe Miller (Peter Krause) finds a key that opens a mysterious motel room, he discovers it's a portal to an alternate universe with contents of immeasurable power. When his young daughter Anna (Elle Fanning) disappears inside, he desperately tries to save her. But Miller must contend with a host of bizarre characters who also want access to the room. Julianna Margulies, Kevin Pollak and Margaret Cho co-star in this eerie miniseries."
If you were a fan of LOST and all the other weird mystery thrillers this is a great show (with an ending). It's about a strange room where every object in the room has a unique power. Some totally worthless (put an egg in a watch band and it will hard boil the egg) and some are immensely powerful but all the objects are missing. I'm loving the sci-fi series.
Here is the 50 second trailer.

Another movie that has stuck in my mind is Quentin Tarantino's fantastic "Inglourious Basterds". DJ is not to fond of the movie and won't watch it but 90% of the battle scenes are like The Longest Day battle scenes, only a few "wincing" scenes.
Elwood and I watched a bit of it and he said "That was not what I expected at all" as it's mostly non-combat scenes and really the Basterds are not the mane subject of the movie (sort of)!! The movie contains one scene which sticks in my brain and won't let go and I consider one of the best cinematography scenes I have ever watched.
Music by David Bowie and it looks crappy on Youtube and contains a tiny minor spoiler but this movie is full of "I never saw THAT one coming" moments!

I went to the combined City Council and CDA meeting last night and for the 3rd time in a row was sent away because of secret stuff. However I did get to see the inside of the new council chambers and it's pretty nice. Looks very official and gives a certain dignity to the city council.

It was suggested to me that I should take photos of all the quaint little towns in Door County. I had thought of that and it was one of my goals but man, when you look at the towns they just are not THAT photo worthy. All sort of spread out. The towns are wonderful but there are no classic shots that I could find. It's a work in progress, they are there, just gotta find them!
Here is one of Fish Creek.
Have a good Tuesday
