My mom's memorial service is today - exactly two weeks after she suffered a sudden cardiac episode that ultimately proved fatal. If there are people you care about, never pass up a chance to tell them. There may not be as many opportunities to do so as you think.

My mom took me to see the '93 Super Mario Bros. movie on opening night, and I remember walking away entertained. As an adaptation of the source material, it's not great, but taken on its own, I think it's a reasonably fun sci-fi/adventure flick.
