When is movie night? It’s not tonight, at least, not for me. It’s been a long day — started around 3:30 this morning, so I’m probably already asleep.
Of course, most of the time, stuff I write reads like someone was asleep when it was written, so there you go.
Anyway, when movie night does roll around, I’m going to watch Space Mutiny, the gosh-awful film from the early 1980s that was riffed in Season 8 of MST3K.
Why? No good reason, as I explained over at my little blog.
You know what else I do for no good reason? I write posts that service no purpose but to left you take the stage. Makes my life easy. Besides, you guys are really funny. Or clever. Or interesting. Anyway, I enjoy reading the stuff you write. And, yes, I do read these open thread posts. I don’t always comment on them, but I do read the comments, because they’re fun. So, maybe I do have a good reason after all.
Which, of course, puts all the pressure on you to write something, eh? Well, as it’s Wednesday Night Open Thread, it’s time for you to shine.

I went to Indiana for a week to visit my Granddaughter. I loved visiting her but I hated all the heat and humidity. I live in Alaska where we have very little heat and NO humidity. Anyway that’s my excuse.
I prefer the Chuck Jones animated Mowgli’s Brothers to Disney’s live-action Jungle Book

He wrote “Wedding Day at Troldhaugen” for his twenty-fifth anniversary. Here’s the original piano version (it also exists in orchestral form), played by Eva Knardahl:
