Poster for the movie I enjoyed, "The Naked Gun." The star of the picture, a mister Liam Neeson is in the foreground of the poster doing a split (in a suit; he's wearing a suit with a red or brown tie) with both legs splayed out to the edges of the poster. Behind him are the words - in big pink letters - THE NAKED GUN. Beneath it says, "The Law's Reach Never Streched This Far. Coming Soon" and underneath that is the skyline for Los Angeles, the city of dreams! Anyway, you have a good night.
They did it. They pulled it off. The Naked Gun is easily one of my favorite films of the year. It just machine-guns jokes in a way that I missed so much. It is stupid. It is nonsense. It broke me and remade me. I'm a better man for having witnessed this movie. Go see it in a theater with a crowd.

Phone books chained to public booth had city maps. Iβd use a grid (example, D3 by F5) to find destination*
*canβt remember where grid numbers came from. Maybe phone book itself?
/hated scenes where movie star dramatically ripped map from phone book. Hey Mel Gibson I need that map, you jerk.

On a recent episode of Hacks a character calls from a bus because she uses public transit to map a city before driving in it. It felt like good life advice.

He got to show his brainy side in the Mysterious Mr. Benedict Society.
/I really enjoyed season one.
//Season two suffered from the Disney+ budget-focused, anti-creative process.

Gary had useful knowledge for Selina in Veep. Buster thought blue on a map meant land. Gary could successfully live an independent life. Buster would be dead in a week if unsupervised. Definitely, not the same character.

The only thing I really miss about being a child is the phase where I got free Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas for reading books. That was amazing, and the world would be better if we all permanently got pizzas for reading.

Hacks returns for its fourth season tomorrow, and it might make you cry. Hannah Einbinder has never been better, Megan Stalter finally feels integral to the storyline, and newcomer Robby Hoffman steals every scene they are in. My review for @theplaylist.bsky.social

You ever read Griffin Dunneβs memoir Friday Afternoon Club? He has a chapter about the making of Chilly Scenes of Winter thatβs interesting. He found producing the movie surprisingly easy only to get sabotaged by the studio marketing.

They brought it back a couple years ago. I sent the announcement to a friend with young kids. She couldnβt get them registered. She spent at least a half day on the phone with customer service.
It worked better when it was handled by no tech teachers 30 years ago.

I donβt have any first hand Tesla experience. Are there manual backup latches are accessible to a good samaritan trying to open a door from the outside? If I was on an accident scene, I donβt think Iβd know to the doors open.

Trump wants MAGA to buy electric cars to stick it to the libs. MAGA should go even harder by installing solar, recycling and learning to compost. Thatβll really sting.

It was the pleated costumes in Wicked that pushed it over for me. Difficult costumes to create.
