Had a bit of fun last weekend

One of the very best Movie House experiences was going with the family to watch Bugs Bunny on the big screen. It was hilarious and a completely different experience. Likewise for a few years the local theatre conglomerate (Cineplex) ran a 'classic' move festival. Most notably I recall Goldfinger on the big screen (I was 3 when it came out) - it was amazing to see it (and the details of it) on the big screen.

One I'm interested in maybe seeing is the revamped "Wizard of Oz" they're playing on the dome built in Las Vegas. Redone in 8G resolution it has also had "wide screen" additions so it has sky, full side to side video and such so the picture you see is so much bigger than what was originally released. May or may not be worth it, but might be worth a checking out.

I think the one they have been showing lately on the small screen is as much as I'm happy with.
That's one of the few movie musicals that don't make me puke, Babes in Toyland is another.
I don't travel anywhere anymore and Las Vegas would be low on my list.
My sister just came back from there, was blown away at the dome, but she still tokes.

At the risk of "piling on", the only thing I'd attend in Las Vegas is a Formula One race...

Isn't that the one where they have the phony painted marinas with phony boats, or is that Miami?
Besides, being there limits the ability to see what's going on around the track.
I went to the US GP at the Glen back in the sixties, my first live race of any kind and If I wasn't in love with F1 I would have hated it.
The view I had was of the start/finish line high on a hill, and the winner finished the last three laps on three wheels.
He broke a lower A arm but finished first, nowadays he would have retired the car, and caused a red flag.
I also miss the sound of the V12.

Well, I'd prefer to see it if they put it on the net. Granted, wouldn't be as impressive as many feet tall and wide, but my 49 inch wide screen is fine for me, considering growing up with a analog tv maybe 1/4 the size screen wise.

That's Miami and if there's one place tackier than LV...whoops! (I'd better quit before I tweak someone's nose.) What I meant was there's nothing in LV worth doing or seeing except for F1. I've been through LV on I-15 and it doesn't look that inviting, but that's me. I like street circuits for racing, and the one I'd definitely like to attend is Monaco...

I don't even think I had a color TV until I got married in 69.
BIG console Zenith, one day it actually blew up and we didn't have TV for years after, didn't miss it.
Now we have a very old 36" flat screen, with NO smart functions, NO streaming.
I was on the verge of dropping F1 from my recordings until McLaren started kicking Red Bulls butt.
Ferrari started not shooting themselves in the foot too.
I've already stopped recording all other motor sports completely.
Since I've become slightly disabled I can't even consider going to Laguna Seca for the Vintage races.
I went for two years back a while ago, once was great and the second time I had to babysit an idiot.
