Mike Covers...

I admit that I'm one of those disgusting nutcases who watches earwax removal videos.

I'm hoping the next stage of human evolution is a glow-in-the-dark middle finger for driving at night.

So this exists.

Week 41: The Naked Gun

I was as skeptical as everyone else was about this, but Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, and company pulled it off! I appreciate that the movie's humor was more in line with the original Police Squad show. I do trust this team with an Airplane sequel.

My conspiracy theory: Wes Anderson directed the 1980s Pac-Man games.

Christ, of the 330 million people in this country who can be standing at a podium with that seal, it is these two.

Just imagine going back to 2005 you and showing yourself this image.

That would require insight.

I'm sure his advisors tell him this, but he hears it as "incite."

Just what every veteran needs: Rollerblades and used lotion.

Pfft, wear it proud!

Here in suburban Philly, a nor'easter is expected to hit over the weekend.

It's expected to produce rain, high winds, and a lot of people pronouncing it "noreastern."

Today, he is going to impose a 250% tariff on the country of Norwegia.

A real kid's choice would be NO watermelon at all.

Saw this on Facebook.

Totally not a cult.

We're eventually all just going to revert to making AOL Hometown pages again, and I'm fine with that.

I still want to know what movie they were seeing in the theater was so awful that going down on HIM was the better option.

Week 40: Superman

No notes. This movie was perfect from start to finish (and beyond). I like that superhero movies are now realizing that a 30-second recap is all we need of the origin stories as opposed to making 2 hours of a story we all know.

I'm used to my (Newark) train being late, but today, they didn't even have the decency to right-align it.

Not only am I late, but I'm also off-center.

I wonder if Tilly Norwood does her own stunts.

"Mr. Last Name is my father. Just call me First Name!"

12 FAST FOOD BURGERS IN 12 MONTHS

SEPTEMBER: Roy Rogers

Their bacon cheeseburger is EXACTLY what a bacon cheeseburger should be: bacon, cheese, burger! Needless to say, I avoided the "fixins bar."

He's also hosting the SNL season premiere this weekend!

Week 39: Eddington

A pretty compelling modern-day Western set during that wonderful year of 2020, when we all hated each other, even in small, rustic towns where the local sheriff runs afoul of the mayor over COVID mask mandates.

12 INDIE COFFEE SHOPS IN 12 MONTHS

September: Ludlow Coffee Supply

Tucked away in NYC's East Village, this spot offered a rather sweet-tasting tea at a reasonable (for NYC price). Like all NYC coffee shops, space was at a premium for both humans and dogs.

12 MOVIES IN THEATERS IN 12 MONTHS

September: The Baltimorons

I checked out this Duplass-produced indie flick at the historic IFC Center in Manhattan's Village neighborhood. The theater is great for checking out indie flicks (albeit at regular multiplex prices).

12 DUNKINS IN 12 MONTHS

September: Blackwood, NJ

"No ice" charge: 50 cents

Situated at the edge of the Shoppes at Gloucester, this location has plenty of seating, donut-shaped lamps, and tends to run out of stuff quickly.

Week 38: Happy Gilmore 2

Decent enough 30-year-old sequel to Adam Sandler's second major hit. The cameos, nods, and tributes were fun but not overpowering, and they chose an interesting path for Happy and why he has to win it all this time.

The physical obstacles and barriers that were installed in the train station to make it harder for the homeless and anyone else deemed "undesirable" to exist were themselves archaic and inhuman enough.

But blasting Billy Joel's My Life at top volume inside is just plain cruel.

By their own logic, this should work:

"If we delete all info about the 2024 election, then Trump never became president again."

That was just his hair

Usually my posts are (to me) humorous, but this is a rare serious one.

I lost my job of 10 years today as a project manager/client service rep. If anyone knows of anything, please feel free to reach out.
