The murderer stole money from his grandma's purse to buy explosive stuff.
Who is to blame for it all? I am sitting waiting for someone to accuse him.Hi Freeyyaa! How much did that babushka have in her purse? I don't believe Roslyakov acted alone, but what does Tim Berners Lee have to do with it? Around lunch time, Thursday, we were having this discussion. She grew up in Crimea. My friend and I were shocked. Don't forget he had a shotgun as well. There was no one to stop him.
Anyway perhaps we'll get some answers. https://en.crimerussia.com/gromkie-dela/police-searching-for-safe-buried-by-kerch-shooter/
Law enforcement officers examined a wasteland near the house of Vladislav Roslyakov, a student who arranged the shooting at the Kerch Polytechnic College, yet did not find anything, RIA Novosti reports citing a source in the police.
Earlier, REN-TV channel published a video showing a person, who looks like Roslyakov, carrying a safe which he later buried. The police believe the contents of the safe could clarify the motives of the killer, as well as the causes of the tragedy.
REN-TV published another video from the place where Roslyakov burnt his things before the attack on the college. Among the burned items there were parts of a laptop, a sim card, a knife, notebooks, photos, and the Bible. It is reported that Roslyakov also took his children's pictures and 20 thousand rubles from the house.
As RIA Novosti source says, the subject in the hands of the young man on the video does not look like a safe, but looks like a bundle, as it looks "too easy to store weapons."
“As for the place from the video, it was already examined by the law enforcement officers and no safe was found on the waste ground,” the source added.
On Wednesday, October 17, an 18-year-old student of the Kerch Polytechnic College, Vladislav Roslyakov, opened fire at his school. He killed 21 people and injured more than 60. A criminal case was initiated on the fact of the attack (Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), but later it was reclassified to a murder of two or more persons (Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Roslyakov shot himself in the college library. This doesn't just happen in the USA.
Rest in Peace - the youth at the school.
20 dead and more wounded? Very sad.

Facebook cancelled my latest 30 day posting ban, after just two days. FWIW, I was 'saved by the Daleks'.
So happy, now I can get back to fomenting civil unrest and and ideally a military coup in this cucked shithole of a country.
Hi Bron-y-
How's it goin'? I'm happy you can foment civil unrest, too. Happiness is a warm coup.

So that's what that was all about. Thanks. I was wondering why it was being covered in the press so much.

Thank you. It will be cheaper to own it when it comes out. I can't stand when writers are too lazy to stick or add to script.
Horror insults my intelligence anyway, but being a completest, I'll have to watch it. At least I can avoid going to this one.

That was the whole idea of Googie architecture...to signify our entry into the Atomic Age or Space Age and optimism for the future. The swooping design lines and fonts used for lettering all were geared to get you thinking of rockets and space travel and fun.
It's influence was felt in real life architecture and in film and television shows, too.

I find it both uncanny and incredible that all around the world (especially our rivals in the Space Race, Russia). would adopt an insignia so closely resembling the Googie architecture from here in our good country. To me, the swoosh resembles Saturn with a ring. I love it.
Thank you both for schooling me. I love learning. I never knew this. This has got to be the grand-daddy of retro on this thread

I thought this was a damn candy bar.
It was a chocolate. It just got stale over the years, so voila - a belt buckle on E-bay.
Originally it was a bootleg record single. It came in a paper bag. Inside the paper bag was 1 choco bar, and a movie ticket to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Only 8 copies existed from the secret performance.
September 8, 1971 - Hershey Park, PA
Whole Lotta Love Medley
. Boogie With Stu
. Sugar Daddy
. Candy Man (Sammy Davis Jr.)
Just kidding! My humor is a bit eccentric, and so am I. I thought it was choco too when I saw it. I wouldn't buy it as a belt buckle, or chocolate. I would buy the bootleg, if I hadn't conjured it in my mind.
There is one item I am kicking myself for not buying, and that is the Led Zeppelin Central Park 1969 16mm film when it was for sale a few years back. A few of us were going to go in on it privately, but we were never told exactly what was on it, and how the quality was. I would have liked to have known or been shown more. I believe the price at the time was 10K, but my memory could be wrong as it was a while back. Any info would be appreciated, and what happened to this film. Any tracks or traces? July 21st 1969 - 16mm film. Wollman Rink Theater.

That's the famous Ship's coffee shop. There were several in LA...one on La Cienega and Olympic near the Beverly Hills Tennis Club; one near MGM Studios in Culver City; and the one in your photo above was the Westwood Village location. They were open 24 hours every day and every table had a toaster so you could toast your own bread/bagel. All featured the Googie architecture style and all have long since been demolished. If you watch the 1985 Jeff Goldblum-Michelle Pfeiffer movie "Into the Night", one of the scenes is filmed inside the Westwood Ship's.
That's exactly what it was! I was an admirer and used to follow Pfeiffer's career in the 80's. You sure know your movies!
So that was a real place on location. Thank you.
But there was something else, something more about the symbol that drew my attention.
Original poster would forgive me, as this is a Retro thread, and we are great friends.

Travolta has turned into a pumpkin.
I'm sorry to see someone is oranger than the Don.
As much as I love Sci-Fi, I think Travolta went downhill starting with Battlefield Earth. He was outside of his role and unrecognizable.
I'm not knocking the story, which was subpar. It was a walk-out movie. I'm hoping that pumpkins are more popular in October, then when this came out in the theaters. I haven't seen it yet.
______________________________________
As much as I've knocked it already, I'm leaning on going to see Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis. OCD - I'm a completist.First movie was 1978, I think. The had 3 or 4 in the 80's, a few in the 90's a couple in the 2000's.
This series, I believe would the first horror series to have the original protagonist spanning within 5 different decades!
Rock On Halloween! I hope it's good.

I don't like divulging too much about a movie to people who haven't seen it. On top of that, I didn't have enough time to write more than a sentence or two. It's the weekend and people generally are looking for something to see and I felt like adding a suggestion. People who follow this thread are conversant enough with my tastes to know whether to trust my recommendations or not.
Basic plot of "Dragged Across Concrete": Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn play cops who are tired of the bureaucratic bullshit that comes with the job. They are overworked and underpaid. Mel wants to move his family out of the crappy neighborhood they live in but on his salary, that's not likely. He then thinks he has found a way out and convinces Vince Vaughn to help him with his plan. To put it mildly, things don't go as planned.
Fair enough. I do appreciate this review, and the fact that you don't give much away.
Thank you, Strider.

Growing up in California in the Sixties, I was exposed to lots of futuristic "Googie" architecture. Fascinating vision of the future!

Too funny! I knew a kid who would spend untold hours making model ships only to take them to a pond, place them on a board, set them on fire and watch them burn down to nothing. I think that inspired us to take those small green plastic Army guys and set them on fire. When "the war" was over those guys were all dead or missing limbs. Good times!
Burn baby Burn! Yeah old times definitely were the most imaginative and inventive. May I add - destructive and the best of times. We watched this video. She said "Cool"! This took a lot of work. Not your average overnight production!
That was one poor sniper.
Loved it. "We're the greens! We don't take prisoners!" Thank you.

If you enjoy just cinematography then give this a look. I haven't finished watching it yet.
We watched it a couple weeks ago. It was phenomenal cinematography especially for it's time.
Your honesty in your reviews is always appreciated. You're my fav on this thread.
The Conspiracy movie on how they planned it wasn't bad either. I wish it had been longer. Thank you very many.

Another great Craig Zahler ("Brawl in Cell Block 99", "Bone Tomahawk") movie...although it could have used a trim here and there. At 2 hours and 38 minutes it's a trifle long. Went to the premiere last Tuesday with a Zahler, Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn, and other cast and crew Q & A.
and...
what about it? anything else, beside the fact that you went the premiere?
What about the movie?

Forgot I had one of these as a kid, it was a really cool toy. This thread is taking me back,
A couple friends and I blew him and the 6 Million Dollar Man (and his bionic eye) to Hell with a couple of M-80s.
If it's any consolation, Knieval died in the line of duty.
Do you care to know what happened to Stretch Armstrong?
I still have a few original Han Solos and 1 Darth Vadar. They are worth thousands. Except a friend put one of the Solos in a glass of water after ESB and put it in the freezer for a few hours. Depreciation, but it was appreciated as a kid,

We get the 2nd take of Heartbreaker from the forthcoming album.
This show is a show case of what was out there. The fans also get a treat as to what is to come. This is a preview of the second album. The first preview was two days before, and this one is in London. A great warm up for a warm loving embrace - back to North America.
Robert Plant has molded into his role. John Bonham has never wavered from his destiny. Jimmy Page is reveling in his prophetic creation. He has stood tall and emboldened with confidence, graciously embracing the foreshadowing of a Legend. John Paul Jones strongly uplifting the backbone of a band with the weight of a stongman.
As they left this show in London for America, they knew the page had been turned. No longer would Led Zeppelin be introduced as "The - Led Zeppelin" as they were in Lewisville (Dallas) on August 31st, 1969. They were now a FORCE to be reckoned with.
Peace On. "Apanther"______

Iconic to me since '04 Jonesy. "The DVD" was amazing, and I can't wait to have this book.
And as always,
I am appreciative for your reply.
I wonder if this fan is aware how many other fans have noticed them.

Hi Sam,
Of course this will be on the top of my Led Zeppelin bookshelf.
Maybe you or someone you know can answer this off topic question regarding the video provided about the Zeppelin fan 18 seconds in holding the Led Zeppelin banner. This person was also in the official DVD. Has this fan ever come forward and identified them self? To me it's iconic and synonymous with Led Zeppelin fans.
20 dead and more wounded? Very sad.
