The ol’ METEOR ploy.

April 1, 2023 Eric Robert Nolan Leave a comment

My 2023 April Fool’s Day went well enough. I didn’t get too many of my friends this year, but I still fooled a few on Facebook. Ah, the old chestnut of the crashed meteor.

I think the name of the radio station at the end was a nice touch:

[Okay. The news said that a meteor fell in downtown Roanoke. I know that there were multiple points of impact, but they’re saying it was a single meteor that broke up upon entry.

NO INJURIES OR DEATHS. But the northern section of Elmwood Park is ON FIRE near the amphitheater. It began when the meteor struck near the trees along Elm Avenue.

Roanoke Fire Department responding.

Will share details here. But, if you can, try tuning in to W-AFD.]

Throwback Thursday: “The Changeling” (1980)!

March 30, 2023 Eric Robert Nolan Leave a comment

I saw “The Changeling” at some point after 1980, when it made the rounds on television — I can recall it being quite good. It might have been the first George C. Scott film I ever saw. (I am linking below to HD Retro Trailers for the trailer.)

I watched it with my Mom. My Dad would have been the go-to guy for action or adventure movies; my mother was a bit too serious for those. Every once in a long while, though, she’d surprise me by really enjoying a fright flick when it came on.
