WAR OF THE MONSTERS (1977), Miracle Films' UK theatrical version of GODZILLA VS. GIGAN, ripped from the 1980 pre-cert VHS by Derann Film Services. This is not a very good capture, but it's what I could get from a transfer house back in 2020. This is the raw 18gb DV/PCM .mov.

Re This case:
Most media are focusing on their own states, but this was a multi-state trip. The person took the whole route of the Southwest Chief, so Illinois through the midwest, then across S. Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona before LA. Then up the coast, and back across on California Zephyr.

This study detected SARS-CoV-2 in the air of common areas of 4 big US airports. SARS-CoV-2 detected in 98% of samples through the year. Influenza A was found during flu season.
That’s why you want to wear an N95 respirator in an airport! And all indoor public spaces all year!

sauron alive in argentina goes hard
I dont think younger people realize just how massively popular and culturally significant the Lord of the Rings books were in the 1970s in the USA. Millenials experienced but a fraction of this when the Peter Jackson trilogy released.
