Thanks, guys. Sunsets are pretty easy, you keep shooting as the sun goes down and then edit out the good ones and bad ones.

As I said, whenever we cruise, especially in the Caribbean, we try and schedule our dinners so we have time to watch the sunset and then go to dinner. It usually works out OK, unless, like when we cruised Northern Europe in August, when the sun didn't set until maybe 10 PM or so. We had to make a choice, sunset or the production show and depending upon who or what the show was, it usually won out.

My next batch will feature may be the best sunset, as far as color goes, we have ever seen.

Try this one. Again, not a softball, but the line has clues to the movie (I watched this over the weekend)

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it, always.

The two most shocking to me were two Lenn already mentioned....Dexter's wife Rita and Col. Blake on M*A*S*H.
I never saw either of them coming. In fact the scene where Radar announces Blake's death to the rest of the company is still pretty moving.

That was, Lou. I was a fan of MASH from day one and never missed a show. I, like many, knew Maclean Stevenson wasn't coming back as he had opted out. Just no one knew how they were going to write him out. Most felt he would be getting a transfer back to the States, but when Radar made that announcement, I think everyone was in shock. That was a landmark show also, because, really, un until then, the show was played mostly for laughs. After that, there were many 'serious' episodes that just made the show so endearing to its followers.

1961, southern accent, major movie culminating with an Academy Award (not for the movie).  C'mon Lenny.

Got it, To Kill a Mockingbird

How about my last one?

Also, thought you would have gotten Castaway

So let's try another

Maybe not so much a softball, but from a very popular movie, and there is a big hint in the line.

Last night we were able to watch the latest new movie from PIXAR, "SOUL".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP5C1OSSEOo&ab_channel=MovieclipsTrailers

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2948372/

First things first. I LOVE anything that comes out of the PIXAR studios. Their animation and movies are just so far above anyone else's. Just classic movies, as Toy Story, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Cars, WALL-E and so, so many more. Seems each was better than the last, so I went into this movie with great anticipation.PLUS it got rave reviews, so where am I with it. I just didn't love it. Don't get me wrong, the animation is way beyond anything PIXAR has ever done. There were scenes in NY where you might have thought it was film and not animated. Just so far ahead of its time. Story-wise, if anyone has watched the trailer, it about a supposedly middle-aged guy who loves Jazz. he is a temp music teacher for kids and gets a promotion to full-time. BUT, at the same time he lands a spot with a jazz band, his entire life what he has waited for--so where does he go. NO where, he falls down a manhole and dies and that really starts the essence of the story. And here is where it mostly became confused. I can see kids liking the characters and animation, but the story, about death, reborn life, and your soul is just not what kids would enjoy. Maybe I'm so old I don't know what kids would really enjoy, but I think parts of the movie might be way over their heads. It was to me. When the movie was back on Earth, it was great, trying to follow Joe Gardiner in his quest to return to Earth and play in this jazz band. It was funny, cute and so well done. I just felt they spent way too much time in what might be the afterlife, trying to decide where Joe would go and with whom.
Again this movie got excellent reviews, even better than that. I think it was the first animated movie made about African Americans--totally and it was great. The dude who played the barber was so great and his story, also great.

I would recommend this movie to one and all, and you decide for yourself. Great movie to watch with your kids as there could be so much to discuss with them during and after.
