  1. Steven Soderbergh – „Liberace – Zu viel des Guten ist wundervoll“ (2013)

    Wenn schon Vegas, dann aber richtig! Steven Soderbergh kehrt ein paar Jahre nach „Ocean’s 11/12/13“ zurück und dreht den Wahnsinn noch ein paar Umdrehungen weiter. Dass dabei ein hochdramatisches, queeres Biopic entstanden ist, war für mich damals eine echte Überraschung. Tatsächlich erzählt Soderbergh von einer Kultur, die sich in den USA längst eigene Räume, eigene Regeln und eigene Formen der Sichtbarkeit geschaffen hatte und trotzdem immer noch gezwungen war, ihre Existenz vor der Mehrheitsgesellschaft zu verbergen. Mit Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, Rob Lowe und Dan Aykroyd. (ZDF, Wh.)

  6. Somewhat heartening to see how much cities have been able to cut their water use in recent years while increasing their populations. I guess water efficiency is going to be as big of a determining factor as water availability in determining what places are going to be habitable in the future.

  8. Our Way West 2

    This first map shows the Our Way West 1 post.

    Here were our stops:

    • A. Pentwater, Michigan
    • B. Delphi, Indiana
    • C. Montgomery City, Missouri
    • D. Topeka, Kansas
    • E. Dodge City, Kansas

    This map shows the stops for this post: Our Way West 2. Here are our stops:

    • A. Dodge City, Kansas
    • B. Clayton, New Mexico
    • C. Las Vegas, New Mexico
    • D. Grants, New Mexico
    • E. Williams, AZ
    Can you see our refrigerator vent?

    On 8/8/2026, after we left Dodge City, we drove to Clayton, New Mexico. This was a brand new state for each of us. This was an easy drive; however, Clayton, New Mexico was a very windy place!

    We stayed at Coyote Keith’s RV Park. It was here we looked at the shadow of our camper and noticed our refrigerator vent cover on the roof flapping in the wind. We realized that the hail had destroyed this vent cover. Over the next couple of days, I made arrangements for us to get it fixed when we were in Williams, Arizona.

    Clayton, New Mexico
    Everybody here is going someplace else.

    On 8/9/2026, we drove to KOA in Las Vegas, NM. It was another easy drive with the wind continuing. At times, our drive reminded me of the scene in the movie, “Forest Gump”. You know the one where he is walking in Monument Valley in Utah, and all you see is a ribbon of road in front and behind.

    We were told that there are mountain bike trails which can be accessed right from the campground. Because we are not mountain bike riders, that’s all the information we collected.

    This KOA gave me a bit of a quandary. The office staff were very friendly. The site was fine. However, the pool was out of service the time we were there – which wasn’t a big deal. The laundry was questionable. After 40 minutes and $2.00 for the dryers, each of our loads were still quite damp. Later, I noticed my socks were not clean. When the office person mentioned it to what was either a manager or the owner, that person made the comment that the dryer dried his clothes. Then he added “Mostly”. He then made the comment that with the amount of use these washer and dryers get, he has to have a repair person in every week. He then left without another word. Didn’t seem like very good customer service.

    My quandary was whether to leave a review or not. My experience from writing an ebook and being the co-creator of an app, many people don’t bother to write a good review. However, if something is wrong or if there is anything they don’t like, there is a much higher probability they will write a review. I’ve told myself that I need to make an effort to leave positive reviews, not just ones that “complain about something”. Since I haven’t kept that deal with myself, I didn’t really want to leave the poor review.

    This KOA also offered a paid breakfast the following morning. We took advantage of it. It was good; however, they had advertised breakfast burritos on the menu. Guess what. No breakfast burritos. There were scrambled eggs which was also listed on the menu. The number of customers at breakfast was few, so I wouldn’t expect or want them to offer everything and have food get wasted. I just think their advertised menu should reflect that. It wasn’t very expensive – $7.99 per person. And they did have sugar-free syryup. So, there were things to be happy about. In any case, I didn’t write any review. But from me to you – don’t do your laundry there.

    After breakfast, on 8/10/2026, we drove to the KOA in Grants, New Mexico. This is where we first began to see the landscape change, and the area was definitely not as windy as the last couple of days. We started seeing mesas and coloring in the rocks.

    Look Honey! The ground isn’t flat anymore!

    The next morning on 8/11/2026, we had the free breakfast offered at the KOA. It wasn’t much – some pancakes and cereal, but it was free. We brought our own fruit. They also offered a jar of peanut butter, but there was nothing to spread it on. I have been known to eat a spoon of peanut butter, but I did not partake this time.

    This KOA also has a trail with some black basalt lava rocks. The trail has some information about the rocks and the area; however, upon arrival it was way too hot for us to be outside anymore than necessary. The next morning,we had a date with another KOA.

    This is another campground where everyone is going somewhere else. Going west it was easy to get sunrise pictures every morning. View from the campground in at the Grants KOA.

    Our date was with the KOA in Williams, Arizona. The drive into Flagstaff and then Williams was beautiful. I had planned for us to be there for four nights before arriving at our destination in the Grand Canyon. This would allow us to explore a bit and take care of laundry, shopping and any other errands. My next post will be about those four days at the Circle Pines KOA in Williams, Arizona which is located just 58 miles from Mather Campground in Grand Canyon National Park.

  9. What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 150

    Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

    Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

    I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

    #1 You, Me and the Movies React to Cloak & Dagger (1984) – As some of you readers might know already, I enjoyed the 1984 movie Cloak & Dagger (starring Henry Thomas) and I also liked playing the arcade game that appeared in it as a fictional Atari 5200 game. When it comes to retro gaming, the film strongly resonates with gamers who were old enough to have seen it and played games related with Atari on console and arcades in the 1980s. As such, it is not surprising to see that there are pretty few movie reaction videos of Cloak & Dagger on YouTube. To my personal delight, You, Me and the Movies posted a reaction video of the film and it is entertaining to watch!

    #2 Minty Comedic Arts’ Exclusive Interview with Superboy TV star Gerard Christopher – If you were old enough to have seen the live-action Superboy series on TV a long time ago, you would remember that actor Gerard Christopher replaced John Newton as the star. Recently, Minty Comedic Arts posted his exclusive interview with Christopher (who played Superboy in over 70 episodes) and it is not just fun to watch but also surprising and insightful. At the same time, there is a lot to learn and discover from what Gerard Christopher revealed. That said, I encourage you to watch the video below.

    https://youtu.be/lG0O5hsPNso?si=GZKJXCIRfTtt5o7S

    #3 Yakisoba in Aichi Prefecture, Japan – I enjoy the taste of Yakisoba which is Japanese noodle stir-fried dish and it is often available in Japanese restaurants in the land of the rising sun as well in other parts of the world. In Aichi Prefecture, there is a family-owned restaurant that specializes in yakisoba. The dedicated cooking, careful processes and sound business management the food joint achieved resulted in a loyal customer base. There is a lot to learn and enjoy from the video below.

    https://youtu.be/7ci-UXm0mgQ?si=F9w-qcbusnhWSteg

    #4 Street Fighter II Is Unfair to Gamers? – Here is something that must be seen. Remember how intensely popular Street Fighter II and its updated versions were back in the 1990s? The original arcade game of Street Fighter II revolutionized fighting games and turned it into a wildly popular genre for both gamers and game companies. Still, there is something about the artificial intelligence (AI) in Street Fighter II that makes it “cheat” which resulted in a lot of frustrating experiences for those who played it. Did Capcom’s game developers deliberately set something up? Watch and learn from the video below.

    #5 The Death of Criticism with Spider-Man: Brand New Day – Let me ask you this…if the so-called professional movie critics and online influencers unanimously give high praise to a big-budget movie designed to make a lot of money, do you let the critical acclaim influence you into watching it and adjusting your personal standards on judging new movies? In his recent video, Ranting for Vengeance shared a warning about the death of criticism over Spider-Man: Brand New Day which opened with massive commercial success backed with acclaim from the media and a variety of personalities online. By today’s standards, there are many millions of people who got oriented with Spider-Man without ever reading the classic comic books, and there are those who use Spider-Man movies as their main references. What is telling, however, is how some people lowered their standards on judging new movies as a whole. To learn more, watch Ranting with Vengeance’s video below and pay attention to the details.

    #6 Assorted Casino (1995) Reaction Videos – I missed out on Martin Scorsese’s 1995 film Casino during its theatrical run and I saw it on home video some years later. Loosely based on real-life events that happened in Las Vegas, the movie was very good with its presentation and the stylized approach on explaining the details regarding casinos and related businesses controlled by criminals. As such, it is not surprising that a lot of movie reaction videos of it were posted on YouTube and I found the most entertaining ones among them for you all to enjoy.

    #7 Game Developers Who Went Woke And Ruined The Gaming Industry – I have been playing video games since I was a little boy. This current console gaming generation has been very disappointing and I can say that it is very disgusting that state of gaming deteriorated a lot over the past several years as many game developers hired Leftist activists (the woke, transgendered, social justice warriors, LGBTQ extremists, rabid feminists, racist minority members and other undesirable people) and let them make new video games that reflected their ugly agenda. Very recently, the very woke Halo Studios got away with ruining Halo with the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved. The wokeness of gaming started many years ago and its disease grew a lot through the years. As such, the woke and Leftists working in video games clearly do not care about making video games fun and they do not care about gamers in general. To understand the wokeness and the Satanic Left’s agenda through gaming, watch the video below.

    #8 Tempura Onigiri and More in Japan – Recently in Japan, a new form of onigiri with tempura was released and it is gaining popularity with customers. Not only that, newer types of onigiri were being offered to customers as a result of unpredictable market forces, experimentation and the changing tastes of the customers. There is a lot to discover in the Nippon TV, and it just make you crave for onigiri.
