    ‘Finding Her Edge’ - Netflix’s YA Ice-Skating Drama

    A close friend was the steadycam operator for the show. He says it was a great cast and crew to work with, one of his best. And he has worked on a LOT of movies and series. ( Next up is Star Trek Academy). He knows nothing about skating, though, and couldn't name any of the body double skaters.

    Favorite Documentaries

    I loved all the "Up" documentaries. With the death of a couple of the participants and Michael Apted, there won't be any more. But it was fascinating watching the participants grow up and into middle age.

    Do we not have a third pair with the minimums?

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    I very much doubt it. Charles and his advisors are intelligent enough to know, as does William, that any attempt to bring down another member of the family, particularly a working royal, weakens the institution as a whole.

    2025 Skate Canada Int'l in Saskatchewan & 2026 Canadians in Gatineau QC

    I am fine with any of the options, with a slight preference for Earl's. But it's all good.

    Let's Talk Movies #36 - 2020 - Yep it is a new decade

    Umm. Is it? I would not have guessed it from most of the trailer. Looks more like 50 Shades of Bronte.

    2025 Skate America: Lake Placid (official 5.6.2025)

    I loved the JGP in Lake Placid in 2019, and very much liked the town. Under ordinary circumstances, I and more than a few other Canadians would love to go. But alas, it's not happening for most of us, and the event is only a few hours away from me.:wuzrobbed

    2025 Skate Canada Int'l in Saskatchewan & 2026 Canadians in Gatineau QC

    Definitely in for that. Maybe @patc can scout out likely places for us, as she is more-or-less local to the area?

    2026 Worlds in Prague - info & planning thread

    Probably not going to worlds, but I was just in Prague. One nice thing is that if you are 65 or over, the public transit is free!

    Well, I thought it was lovely. YMMV.

    Most impressive and least impressive venues?

    The arena for Milan worlds had 8 toilet stalls total for the women in the entire venue ( and probably only 4 for the men). And many of them didn't work as the system was so overloaded. It was often faster to leave the venue and walk the 10-15 minutes each way to the mall and use the facilities...

    It’s So Effing Cold

    We have our second major storm in 4 days. At least another 30 cm today- it's not done yet. We haven't started digging out yet. Only Rani the husky is happy with this state of affairs.
