Inferno was great! Ever see Earthquake? Think it came out same year with a mini ensemble cast. The Christman0New years gap was always a very off time. You just sort of lose track of time and what day it is. Getting older certainly doesn't help with that

. I was always a sucker for sci-fi marathons during. The Planet of the Apes sequels, old westerns and Twilight Zones were always put on in the house during holiday breaks as a kid.

I am going through Twighlight Zone series with my son, he likes them. The actor Burgess Meredith, who plays Mickey in the Rocky films stars in 3 of the episodes which are classics.

I don't think I have ever seen Earthquake. Love Westerns though. As a kid they often played them on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and I still love 'True Grit' to this day. The original and the Coen Brothers remake. You have to check out the Coen's 'Ballad of Buster Scruggs' if you have a chance, brilliant stuff.

'Godless' is another one definitely worth your time if you haven't already seen it, about a town primarily populated and protected by women.

Yeah loved those back in the day. Earthquake too like Spic mentions, I remember the ending where Charlton Heston has to sacrifice himself to try save his ex wife. There was also Airport, Juggernaut, The Swarm, Meteor and some low budget ones due tv on a Sunday night. I have vivid memories of one called Vacation From Hell and another Hanging By A Thread where they're stuck in a cable car

They don't make em like that any more as the saying goes

Out of curiosity I went back to check the cast list of those last two. Michael Brandon was the male lead in vacation from hell. Never knew

Just woke up to the deeply sad news of George Foreman's death. Obviously everyone gets old and eventually dies. But few things hit hard as "signs that you're getting older" as seeing famous people (whether celebrities, athletes, etc) pass away. Especially if you watched them in their prime. For some reason I just thought that George would be around for a while longer, and become a jolly old man. May he rest in peace.
