Sharknado 2: The Second One premiered 11 years ago today.

Some of its cameo roles have... not aged well.

a man in a purple suit and top hat talks to a little boy ALT: a man in a purple suit and top hat talks to a little boy

At the end of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Wonka bequeaths his entire candy empire to a small German boy because he "can't go on forever."

Gene Wilder is only 38 in this movie.

Dude got one look at middle-age and was like, "fuck it, I'm out." πŸ˜‚

You Put Something Better Inside Me
YouTube video by Stealers Wheel - Topic You Put Something Better Inside Me

Everyone knows Stealers Wheel from that iconic scene in Reservoir Dogs with "Stuck in the Middle With You," but on that same, self-titled album is this track...

Maybe a top-50 all-time for me. β™₯️Can't believe I only discovered it a couple years ago...

Triumph of the Nerds: Part 1: Impressing Their Friends
YouTube video by Multimedia HyperGuide Triumph of the Nerds: Part 1: Impressing Their Friends

My pick? "The Triumph of the Nerds"

It's a 3-part, made-for-TV documentary about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that does a great job of covering the entire rise of the modern computer age. Compelling and fun presentation.

Big recommend for fellow nerds!

There's a thread on r/Flicks asking, "What’s the greatest movie you’ve ever seen that no one else seems to know about?"

Someone suggested "Network." Another, "Amadeus."

God help the children.

Made this using Google Flow's new Veo3 engine for work, and it scares the Hell out of me. 😯

I understandβ€”and agree withβ€”everyone's reservations on using AI video for creative projects + artistic ideas.

But for corporate video, b-roll, and webinars? Shit man... this is nuts.

I haven't seen the first four #MissionImpossible movies in 10 years. Rogue Nation + Fallout, five years.

Should I rewatch them all before Final Reckoning β€” if that means waiting another week or more to see that?

Or just rewatch Dead Reckoning and go to the theater tomorrow?

I've got 4,000+ words written for a big #FinalDestination episode of "Movie Night" - including an incredible idea for the cold open. You can probably guess what I want to "re-create."

Will probably take me a few days to film/edit everything though - so look for it this weekend. It's gonna be good.

Nothing says "pro-life" like bombing a fertility clinic because it made the billionaire on TV unhappy.

That highway scene from Final Destination 2 was Jaws for millennials.

Now that my oldest has seen the original trilogy... we're diving into the ancillary #StarWars media, and holy shit - there's so much!

It's genuinely possible that no one person has seen it all. There's like 17 different shows. I can't even find a full list that isn't missing stuff.

Then why didn't Republicans support their own bipartisan bill last summer that would have helped legal immigration?

Or better yet: what is Trump's plan today?

So if you're okay with criminals holding office - why are you against immigrants trying to live their lives and mind their own business?

The sentence was "absolutely nothing" because of who he is, not for what he did. Read the ruling. He was convicted by a jury of his peers. The crime and trial were real. He is a felon.

But you're okay with criminals running the country.

Just admit you're a hypocrite.
