A Little too much "Disclosure"

 

June 21, 2026

 

Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” was good, but it could have been better.

 

Basically, it’s a standard show about idealistic people taking on bad people in order to tell the world the truth about aliens visiting Earth. The usual dirty tricks of intense surveillance and attempted murder ensue.

 

It’s not that there wasn’t interesting content; and the scenes were good. It’s just that there seemed to be a little too much of too many things. I was ready for it to be over LONG before it was.

 

Still, it’s worth a look.

 

No Army for Old Men

When I was watching the movie “Pressure”, and they were debating endlessly about whether the proposed D-Day of June 5 would be calm and sunny or horribly stormy, I thought, 

 

“It’s too bad they don’t have some old guy around with a bad hip, who could give tell them what the weather would be like just by how much his hip ached.”

I enjoyed the movie “Pressure”, but I do have one note:

 

 

Dear Movie Directors: 

 

Having loud music in a scene doesn’t make it more exciting.

 

 

Sincerely,

They Can't Keep Up with Themselves

 

June 17, 2026

 

After some sort of update, my TV started defaulting to the TV brand’s station instead of our cable. I eventually got aggravated enough to look online to see how to fix it.

 

The first few posts I read didn’t deal with my model, so the instructions worked up to a point, but not to the crucial part of the menu, which was where the fix lay.

 

I eventually got motivated enough to look for my model, and was delighted when I found a question about that very model on the website.

 

Reading the answers was the funniest thing. The company rep kept giving the instructions I’d already read, and the person who asked would follow along, but kept ending up saying, “That doesn’t work on my model.” The helpful Answer Person would say, “Oh, yes, we’ve upgraded on that model. Try this.” Same results.

 

I think they finally solved it, but after I got to a certain point and almost deleted the cable app, I decided to wait until someone more technologically advanced comes to the house. I’m hoping it’s not the helpful Answer Person.
