"No recording devices, no mobile devices. Zero tolerance."
The future of museums. You pull out your smartphone you were supposed to have put in a locker, you get detained and fined. Heck. If you are tourist, you get blacklisted.

They should recast John Candy's role with Tim Russ, in the most obvious way possible.

I feel a bit vindicated that he sat in about the same row I always pick next to the overwing emergency exit.

I know a career soldier, Afghan Veteran, active guardsman, extremely professional under a goofy Southern guy persona. The moment he is off duty, he's out of his work clothes into civilian attire. Knowing him, he would not be very impressed or happy about such a deployment.

To be fair. It is one of the most ridiculous cliches of modern writing. But that you received death threats is a but over the top.

Oh man. Do we need to set up a whitebeard and draw them some diagrams? That's a swinger's party. And it's still early.

The second scene is perfect. Its the first thing that comes to mind when I think about this movie. And it is a perfectly ordinary scene that any other director would have cut for convenience sake.

It is peak Lynch. It is Lynch focusing intimately into even the most normal task and telling a wonderful true story. Even a simple scene like Farnsworth buying a soda was perfect.

I have a friend whose dad was a professional hunter. They butchered all their own meat, with him being taught the ropes from the day he could hold a knife. Became a vegan at age 13. Big guy, quiet and always serious, army veteran.

I once saw a hippo in the Mara river rush a crocodile who had drifted too close to her calf, and snap it in half with a single bite. I looked down to check how much film was left, heard the splash and looked up just as she hit him. Those things are fast if they want to.

Wolfenstein 3D. I spent an entire school holiday running around those tunnels, blowing away Nazi's. I'll never forget finding my first minigun. Those were the days.

But special mention for Love, Thy Will Be Done. Might be Martika's lyrics, but you can hear him in every syllable.

I miss the good old days when the worst you could do was Nuke someone over IRC.

I was going to give Going Dutch one more chance and watch another episode, because the story was a bit far fetched. But now I'm not that sure...

Nope. Not yet. It's an old video of South African Firefighters flying to Canada June 2023.

I once had a local sushi restaurant stop their Half Price Wednesday special after a group of ladies took every plate off the carousel, tasted one piece each, and left the ones they didn't like. I really liked Sushi Wednesday. That sounds like a very solid and sensible policy.

I've only tasted truffles once. Very overrated. Same goes for lobster.

The next few weeks is going to either be a nonevent, or more historical than 911.
