Mick in Canada @mic644

Tom Skerritt, the plucky and handsome actor who charmed audiences on both the big and small screen in titles ranging from “Top Gun” to “Picket Fences,” has died. He was 93. cnn.it/4k5cciE

Actor Bryan Cranston has spoken about the death of his Breaking Bad co-star RJ Mitte, following his death at the age of 34

Christopher Nolan actually crashed a real Boeing 747 into a building for TENET (2020) rather than relying on CGI. The fact that this sequence exists at all is ridiculous. Nolan really looked at the cost of a real plane crash and decided it was worth doing for one scene. x.com/HDBestScenes/s…

What’s a movie scene where every technical element, from the cinematography and editing to the sound design, score and direction, came together so perfectly that it felt like pure filmmaking magic?

Today we remember Corporal Nathan Cirillo, who was killed in a terrorist attack while on guard duty at Canada’s National War Memorial in Ottawa on October 22, 2014. Our thoughts remain with him, his family, and all who knew and loved him. 🕊️❤️🇨🇦

Great fun trading used guitar picks with Brian May of Queen. He uses old sixpences, and was kind enough to find one with my birthyear at our concert this weekend. I use hard plastic ones, the mission emblem from my 3rd spaceflight. (such a fine person, Sir Brian May, PhD astrophysicist & phenomenal musician/human, @DrBrianMay of @QueenWillRock)

An explosion of gorgeousness. Winnipeg mulberry tree in full autumn bloom, afire with the rising Sun. Earth is beautiful from space, but often life is best when revelling in the close-ups.

Music in space - how to sing and play with no gravity, and the Canadian-made guitar that lives up there. A fun interview: youtu.be/zrENv41dWQ0?si… @MusicNewsWeb @LarriveeGuitars

Such awful news from the military base at Wainwright, Alberta, with multiple lives lost and many badly injured. My heart goes out to families and friends, with impact across our armed forces. Immense gratitude to the first responders and medics on the scene.

The Bluewater Bridge, off my wingtip. All the water of 3 Great Lakes has poured underneath since 1938. A mile-long, 200+ ft high vital link between Port Huron MI and my hometown of Sarnia ON. Beautiful engineering.

Bryan Cranston pays tribute to RJ Mitte “I’m in deep despair as I write this tonight. RJ Mitte, my sweet son on 'Breaking Bad' has died. I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm. Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never – ever – allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination" “Always listening to the advice that his TV parents (Anna Gunn and myself) gave him – but being a teenager, sometimes mischievously ignoring the counsel in order to learn the hard way… He was one of the stars of a hit TV show – but still a kid. That kid was pretty raw when we started shooting the pilot in February of 2007, but little by little we watched him grow into a really fine actor. He parlayed his experience on the show to be a vocal advocate for performers with disabilities, and was the head of a philanthropic organization with a focus on helping the disabled community. All that promise and potential now is such a loss" “It is especially devastating to hear that he took his own life,” he wrote. “Why? We were texting each other just a few weeks ago – figuring out when we could meet for lunch. I don’t know if that lunch would have changed his future… But I do know that I loved him, and thoroughly enjoyed being with him throughout the years on the series, and after the spotlight on 'Breaking Bad' dimmed… I’ll miss you, son"

My custom-shaped seat liner, to help cushion Earth impact. First they poured a plaster cast of my backside, then they carved this liner to exactly fit me: protection during the violence of reentry and 'touchdown.' Now on display at the Canada @avspacemuseum in Ottawa.

The Queen of Thailand flew a fighter solo today, becoming the first and only queen in the world to pilot a fighter jet

Have a great Thanksgiving, Canada. One of the most ancient of all celebrations, of harvest time. Share it with others if you can. Enjoy the weekend!

The Moon blocked our view of Jupiter yesterday. Zoom in, you can see it, 16 minutes from disappearing over Toronto. Gorgeous shot by friend Andrew Yee! (looking up, west of the bridge over the Humber River mouth)

3 amazing close-up views of Starship 14 hot staging. I've flown Shuttle twice and Soyuz, and felt this happening. Spectacular to see, especially with Ship headed to orbit. @SpaceX
