#Movies

I just watched Guillermo del Toro's remake of #Frankenstein which was produced by #Netflix & is in VERY limited release.

So limited is its distribution that it wasn't showing at my local #AMC but only in small town's theaters, like the Vine in Livermore, and, as it is with such releases, don't blink or it will disappear before it's due to stream on Netflix beginning on Nov 7th.

Continued below because #SFBASocial on #Mastodon apparently has gone back to a 500 character limit. πŸ™„

Random thank you to the #sfbasocial @moderators , and admins for the hard working building and maintaining an awesome community. Every day I'm thankful for the people on #mastodon and the content that make me smile or shed a tear.. Haven't for a single second regretted leaving my former social media platform.
Why does it feel like #SFBASocial is dead?

It's warm & #sunny in #EastCoCoCounty today. β˜€οΈ

The first time in months that I could open the door from my kitchen (where I spend most of my) to the backyard & breath some fresh air while trolling #SFBASocial & the rest of the Net. πŸ™‚

If it's this nice again tomorrow, I'll take out my #LittleRedSportsCar for a drive into the #CentralValley to go to my favorite #DiveBar & #Restaurant -- #Lagarios -- in #Farmington for some #GrilledOysters. Yum!! 😊

πŸ“’ Community Announcement: Unplanned Outage and Recovery Sorry for the outage yesterday! TL;DR: We ran out of disk space on our database server while we were busy with other upgrades, which caused logins, posts, and feed updates to stop working. After troubleshooting, we fixed the issue and the instance is now fully operational. No data was lost. This outage was not related to the upcoming Mastodon 4.3 upgrade. Please see our full explanation here: https://hub.sfba.social/2024/10/24/october-23-2024-unplanned-outage-and-recovery/

My 2009 reading now added to SFBA.club. 96 books read. My mom died in late 2008, and I was taking care of my grandparents who were fading. I was neither in a mood to work, nor did the many schedule interruptions my grandparents' health care required allow me to. I had a lot of time on my hands, so I read.
