A strong iced mocha.

I imagine the conversation going like this:

"Are you Keanu Reeves?"

"No."

"Yes you are! You are Keanu Reeves!"

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

I don't think I have one favorite that is far above the rest. But to pick one, Nightcrawler.

From the comic storyline "Age of Apocalypse." Sabretooth fights Holocaust with Blink looking on.

Sabretooth was awesome in Age of Apocalypse. I've been re-reading a digital edition.

Ironically, it doesn't work if you force it.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 📲

Mission Impossible 3

We live in a world where some say slavery wasn't so bad, and those same people say being banned on social media is an unacceptable injustice.

On the plus side, you get plenty of names for new Star Trek species.

This is so wrong! Clearly, the "R" should be the third letter!

Image of map from post. Text reads "NEW JEFSET."

I should ask it where the original Jefset is.

I wasn't doing much console gaming when these were out. But the figures looked great, and I liked the style.

Some of our history we are proud of, some we try to rise above. To embrace slavery is to reject liberty. I don't feel pride for those who fought against liberty.

Also, isn't this the same people who erased Doris Miller and other heroes from DOD websites? Cruel hypocrisy.

Posting these two as seen on the Disney Infinity game. Did I own that game? No. But I bought these figures anyway.

Yep. I keep remembering when I had a job at Public Works for a small town. I was told I couldn't accept a plate of cookies from a resident. The point isn't that cookies are persuasive, but rather citizens deserve to know favorable treatment can't be bought.

Failure is definitely an option here.

Quick, everyone start singing Jackie Wilson songs!

And me as a youngster thinking "RF is fine, but I bet I could plug the audio out into my stereo and listen to Super Mario Brothers 3 on two-foot tall speakers." And then I did.

This ranks up there with Time Bandits for creepy endings. No hand-holding for 80s kids!

I've never seen Battlefield Earth, tho I keep thinking I should dive in due to it's infamy. I did read the synopsis.

Someone I know said they would have liked The Fifth Element except for Chris Tucker. I had to disagree. He brought some energy to that film.

I would recommend it also. In addition to the action scenes, it had nice touches too like when the 2nd in command has that moment with alternate universe Delroy Lindo.

Some of the reviews said it wasn't a good example of a martial arts movie since it used f/x shots at lot. And maybe, that's not my genre. But as a sci-fi film it was enjoyable.

The Truman Show

Great story, great music, great ending.

Rotten Tomatoes screencap for The One. 13% tomato score, 51% audience score.

This occurred to me seeing that "The One" got 13% on Rotten Tomatoes. I enjoyed it. It has a tight sci-fi story with effects you probably won't see anywhere else. Oscar worthy? No. But so what, it's fun.

Movie poster for John Carter. Mostly red, with a silhouette of the titular character.

John Carter.

I do like this movie. But the title is terrible. "A Princess of Mars" is very evocative. We've got royalty, and a location that implies sci-fi. But "John Carter" sounds like it could be the biopic of the guy who invented velcro.
