I was just about to post and ask if I was the only one that knew it was happening :-)
Pretty cool... |

We enjoyed it, too, along with a friend from PA who was visiting. We just kept setting the timer to remind us to go outside at intervals during our games/conversation. Terrific to have such a clear sky. Brrrr, though.

But a good brrrr.. a coming of winter brrrr. to quote Capote, sort of. Had hoped for more color, but it was fun to watch the moon slide into shadow. Made me more appreciative of the immense fear that must have caused before we knew what was actually going on.

It traditionally meant that another JLo/Ben picture had just gone into production. |

"It traditionally meant that another JLo/Ben picture had just gone into production."
Poor Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy Dogma) He shot a film with those two last year and it was shelved because of the outrageous disgust that greeted Gigli. So now, no matter what its merits, it will be trashed as well. Shame, cause Kevin seems a decent man.

A great night for an eclipse. I had no idea it was coming, and so last night while we were in the car on the way somewhere I said to my honey "Wasn't the moon FULL last night?" It wasn't 'til we got to our destination (about 1/2 hr later) and got out of the car that I noticed the moon again, almost completely dark, and finally figured out what was going on. |

Duncan, I heard that they are going to release it but they're cutting all of J Lo's stuff. Could just be a rumor |

I imagine it is. Hard to cut the title character out of a film, I would imagine. I'll ask him

Watched most of it from the Hot tub (102) and a few glasses of wine.
Great show.
Makes me wonder, just what math is involved and how does one calcualte the date and the time of such an event. |

We watched the eclipse from the top deck of a cruise ship, on the way back to Florida from Mexico, as the sky cleared (and as the wind whipped across the deck at at least 40 mph)
Stunning...now I'm back and preparing to head for the office in the AM! The only problem with vacation is re-entry to the real world ;-) |

Not a name drop Brett. He has a link to his email on his website. You can ask him too if you want.

Unlike others on this board, I dont need to inflate my ego (its already sizable) by dropping names.

Luanda gets extra credit for not knowing it was scheduled but figuring out what was happening. How many of us bother to look up at all, let alone remember the moon's phase from night to night?

Sorry my fault, the way you said "I'll ask him" confused me. Here's what I got
"(SPOILER AHEAD) The failure of Gigli has enabled director Kevin Smith to rejigger his upcoming Jersey Girl into the kind of movie he had originally conceived -- one that features Ben Affleck as a single father raising a young daughter, the New York Times reported today (Monday). Until unfavorable reviews of Gigli began to roll in, Smith had been prevailed upon to expand the role of the girl's mother, played by Jennifer Lopez, in order to take advantage of the publicity surrounding the Affleck-Lopez romance. Smith told the Times that he began trimming Lopez's scenes after Jersey Girl tested poorly with preview audiences. But, he said, Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein "was always 'Let's leave as much of Jennifer in because we paid her $4 million for the movie.'" Her character now dies in the movie's first 15 minutes, the Times said." |

No biggie Brett.. posts and emails are notoriously easy to misinterpret.
Thanks for the digging

We were in a rural area of upstate NY and had a great view of the lunar eclipse. What was unexpected was the daytime view of a nearly full moon directly opposite a full sun. I've never seen a full moon during the day before. It really reinforced for me the way a lunar eclipse works. R |
