"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984
"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir
"Good news! We have a delivery." Professor Farnsworth
I apologize for the typo. Don't burn me at the stake.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Movies seen on long flights this last week and a half:
-The Grand Budapest Hotel
-The Darjeeling Limited
Two of the only Wes Anderson movies I had not yet seen. I think I just have The Life Aquatic to go now. As always, it's the visuals that stand out. If nothing else, Anderson is just great at composing shots, and that keeps you going even when there isn't anything else going on.
-Finding Dory
It's nice, certainly entertaining and far from being Pixar's worst, but this was definitely a cash-in more than a meaningful story.
-Now You See Me 2
I really have no idea why some of these movies get sequels, least of all Deus Ex Machina: The Movie. That said, even in material that's clearly lacking, most of the cast is hard to not enjoy on screen, especially Daniel Radcliffe.

At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
So I was stuck watching with my wife something called Hardwired with Val Kilmer and Cuba Gooding. It's amazing an actor that was part of Top Gun, Real Genius, Thunderheart, The Doors, Tombstone, The Ghost in The Darkness et al along with an AA winner from Men of Honor, Boyz in the Hood, Jerry McGuire and As Good as it Gets have to finish their careers with this schlock.
Detective falls in love with the victim of the murder he's investigating. Pretty solid whodunit, a ton of twists and turns, very good watch. Highly recommend.

How dare someone list Val Kilmer movies and omit Top Secret!
I shall spend 4 minutes in the box. It's a 4 minute, because I own that movie, and it's a classic.

This shows my age: I thought the writer was Vincent, as that's more of the look I remember him (maybe erroneously?) by? His later years.
Yeah, that was a bad southern accent. Played the bumpkin fool quite nicely, though. The aunt did a superb job.

For reasons even I don't understand, this really is one of my favorite movies ever.

Honestly, besides Royal Tenenbaums (BRILLIANT!), the rest of Wes' movies left me more and more disappointed. Besides the same themes over and over, they just became drier and drier and drier and blah blah blah and who the hell cares anymore.

Just realized I've never seen a Wes Anderson film. Ironic since I'm pretty sure I'm the target demo.
I've only seen Bottlerocket. It was awesome. Or at least I remember it being awesome back when I was in college.
Forgot about that one. That one was decent.
