“That is known a trouble with the curve.”

He’s a jerk but I still feel bad for Bo Gentry in this scene. He’s never going to make it in the majors if he can’t hit every type of pitch.

Along with it’s breathtaking cinematography, Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar also features a beautiful and haunting musical score. Just listen to today’s song of the day.

A Scene That I Love: The Cornfield Chase From Interstellar (2014, Dir. by Christopher Nolan)

Posted on June 2, 2025 by Dazzling Erin

When you talk about movies that feature great landscapes, you have to include Interstellar and the scene where Matthew McConaughey and his kids chase a drone through a cornfield. The cornfield was real, Nolan actually planted corn to create it. The cinematography, in this scene and throughout the entire film, is amazing. When I saw this scene in the theater, it took my breath away.

Moments #21: Exploring The Back Yard Of An Abandoned House

Posted on June 1, 2025 by Dazzling Erin

I simply can’t resist the opportunity to explore an abandoned house. Check out this backyard!

A few weeks after I took these pictures, the city sent down a landscaping crew who mowed the grass and tossed out all of the tables and the chairs that had been left in the backyard. It made me sad watching them do it. I don’t know who once lived in that house or why they left their gate open but I’ve always wondered if they ever came back looking for their plastic chairs. Watching it all get tossed in a dumpster felt like the end of an era.
