In Los Angeles, it must have at least one old Disneyland A and/or B ticket. Bonus points if it's still in the ticket pack.
I saw Apocalypse Now: The Truly, No Really, Honestly, Very Final Cut at the IMAX HQ in 2019. Also, the last time I saw Jeffrey Wells shunned by his fellow critics, ending up sitting by himself at the end on one of the aisles.
I don't know if you've seen this old chart but this explains part of why the Dodgers succeed. They don't just earn a lot of revenue. They put it back into the team. 21 of the 30 teams in MLB put less than half back into the team. Every team could have had Ohtani after 2023. Including the Angels.
Why, yes, I have roamed the streets of Vienna looking for shooting locations for The Third Man. Fun fact: the grate the hands that come out of at the end of the movie was filmed (at a different angle, of course) right in front of the doorway Harry Lime is first seen. 🎥
Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck!!! Fucking Grim Reaper. You weren't supposed to take Sam Neill this weekend!!!!!
I don't know if you are aware, but there's a dam in Corona CA that had a bicentennial mural painted onto it that lasted for nearly 40 years before needing retouching. I still look for it whenever I have to head that way.

Shot / chaser Fuck AI, and fuck all the losers who suck on its empty, shriveled teet!
I love when a random stranger blocks me, usually over my public declarations against AI. By the way... do you know where I stand on AI? It's a simple stance. FUCK AI AND FUCK EVERY FUCKING SIMP FOR IT WHO TELLS US WE NEED TO BEND OVER AND TAKE IT BECAUSE ITS INEVITABLE!!!
I discovered on Tuesday Apple podcast had 2 simultaneous feeds of my show going at the same time. I was able to get it sorted out fairly quickly, and despite only having a small handful of listeners yesterday, my chart position shot way up because there weren't feeds fighting for the same audience.
I read the first book a month or so before Lynch's movie came out, and I was given the two page terminology guide to the movie at the theatre seeing it, and I was still lost most of the time.
True story... my dog's name is CK Dexter, because, you know, our last name is Havens.
Disney has sent out flat AND scope, 2D AND 3D, versions of Mando and Grogu and the Temple of Doom, telling projectionists to just play whichever version works best for the screen it'll be playing on.
Powell's, my preferred choice, doesn't have it available yet for pre-order, despite Penguin Random House's website saying I can order it from them. Can you please ask PRH to work with Powell's to fix this. Thank you.
