Morning darling, I love you. 

There were big flash floods on Monday in USA. Houston and Austin in Texas were hit badly. These Memorial day floods didn't suit to the plans of great Jens Jerk from Norway ... NATO ... So they were presented in US news only. Official US weather center was also very quite about these widespread and big flash floods. Checked that these floods are real. Killed 12 people, caused busloads of damages.  Wonder where did that tornado come to Mexico ... in the Euro and global news. Right before the floods, Euronews and bigger midgets started to say, that NATO is giving it's full support to those two banks, thefts, Finns, Swedes in general.

Would be nice if those two banks would give up soon.  Like I said earlier, it is almost impossible for them to continue the theft forever.

Have a good day.

Hi. The mass transports - like locomotives - belong to the things, which loses their popularity, when a nation gets wealthier. After you get enough money for buying and driving a car / auto, you almost always do that, too. Trains and buses becomes mid range transports. Transports for 100 - 900 km / 100 - 500 mile trips. Locally they are used for going to work and back.

If your car is flooded so that water raises over hood, the engine is certain to suck some water inside it. You have to wait until car is dry and dry it where needed. Then you should change oils from at least the engine. Possibly break fluids and oils from power steering + compressor + gearbox. The modern IMMOs are very sensitive to flooding. Starting a wet car, is quite likely to cause shortcuts and burn the chips. Big and expensive repair. If you know that there is flood coming, you should disconnect the battery, before the flood. 

The system and dangers are the same with all apparatuses, which have combustion / electric engine. All apparatuses which operates with electricity are sensitive to water. You should not power them, before they are dry. Water does not do much damage to electric parts. Damage comes when you power a wet electric gadget. Short cuts makes the damage.

Yes. The site is not going down. I have worked too much with computer systems. My back started to ache two weeks ago. Currently recovering and relaxing, not doing much for the site. Feeling better already. Due to this, some daily chapters, without special subject, are dropped away. 

Nice days to you.

Like and love you. Poor, poor & Better. Having a lunch break ... from black screen movies. Film Noir as it goes in French.

Riding - officially horseback riding - is a dream hobby for girls. Many female celebrities ... models, musicians, actresses ... mention riding as their hobby. Riding is not very expensive hobby. You need some money, but not busloads of money for it.

In for example some action movies all action scenes takes place in darkness. It is also very common, that actors and actresses faces are in shadows. Invisible to patron / viewer. Most you can see, is that lips are moving, then you can hear the voice.

Have a good afternoon.

My idea from the good holiday. Beer, booze and good cigars+ + 14.30 GMT + +

Miss you. Nothing special here. 

There are lighting problems in new and old movies both. In lightning old analog cameras and camcorders were not any better than new digital cameras. 

Furious 7, whose success I have been following here,  is having a tight twist with 1st Avengers movie. It is almost at the end of it's life in theaters. It also very near 1st Avengers in unadjusted grosses. 

2nd Avengers has been much more popular outside US than the 1st Avengers. In unadjusted worldwide grosses it will raise to Top-5. When popularity is measured with un-adjusted grosses, 3rd is the highest imaginable for a common movie. James Cameron's Avatar gathered almost $3 billion grosses and ten years older Titanic $2 billion grosses. 1st Avengers got little over $1.5 billion grosses. That $500 million cap to Titanic is enormous. To a common big budget move $500 million worldwide grosses are usually held as good or at least acceptable.

Formula for making most popular movies is rather simple. Your script needs two story lines. Another is love story and another is action / adventure / sci-fi story. There are many movies which have been made with this well known formula. But only few have succeeded.

Nice afternoons to you.

Adore you. Nothing sensational. Haven't checked mailbox yet, but today's lottery is done. Jens Jerk from Norway is already in the competition, from the older sins. He is one of the prime ministers, who is responsible from my brain damage, two months behind bars and five prisoning in here. All those key persons got good jobs afterwards ... possibly rewards from the year 2009. 

Norwegians, just like all the other oil producers have already lost a lot from Boys site close down. So, co-operative Jens is probably very popular in his homeland.

Have a good evening.

From the above you see a small sample from the differences between money and popularity. The data is from US movie theaters.
In popularity "Sound of Music"  and "The 10 Commandments" beats the others ( except Gone with the wind )

The popularity is calculated so that grosses are converted to the number of sold tickets.
Then the number of sold tickets is matched to the population of the time.
Movies lost a lot, when TV came in the early 1960's.

From the ticket prices could say ... to for example Jens Jerk ... that ( in the past ) they fell during bigger recessions ... only.
Historically falls in ticket prices are rare.

? Gone with the wind was played in theaters over 10 years, stats are also very messy.

Morning darling.

I love you. Besides obvious signs from recession. from the table above you, see how little price affects to grosses / revenues. Last year ticket prices were highest ever. The best selling movie of the year - on the other hand - is in grosses one of the worst after year 2 000. It is third worst if I do not remember wrong.

Have a good day.

Long to be with you. 

Made an overlook from worldwide finances.  Optimism is slowly dying in everywhere. Got a hint ... an inspiration ... few days ago, when I searched data from European floods and flash floods. 

Those fucking-Hacking-Extremist Jerks ... non-Exiting nightmares ... really made bad things happen. Stock markets are falling one after another. Nothing points to a thing that those two banks could continue the theft forever. Everything is going just like excepted, not like things should go.

Would be nice if they would give up soon ... Nice days to you.
