  1. Airport 1975: A small plane clips the cockpit of a 747, resulting in the pilots being incapacitated. Many of the subplots on this one ended up being spoofed in Airplane!  It's a nostalgic watch. (Netflix)

     

    Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: This one's a favorite, and a great watch. Excellent in 4K/Dolby Vision. (4K UHD Blu-ray)

     

    Vertigo: Classic Hitchcock thriller about a detective with a fear of heights that's asked by an old friend to trail the friend's wife. It's a great watch. (Amazon Prime Video)

     

  2. I had bought this iPod Classic 160GB about a month after it came out in 2007, meaning that it's now old enough for a driver's license. It's been modified with Rockbox firmware, which allows drag and drop file transfers, and will play a bunch of file formats, including FLAC. I'm more likely to stream from my Plex server to my cellphone, but it's still fun to play with the old stuff once in a while.

    Sometimes when I grade tests, I think to myself, "How did these students ever pass middle school science?"

     

    Sometimes when I grade tests, I think to myself, "How did these students ever learn to write their own names?"

     

    And sometimes when I grade tests, I think to myself, "How have these students not already been culled by predators?"

     

    And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

    They showed a video of him doing this along with the article that Cygnia shared.  He segued from his Hannibal Lecter joke to talking illegal immigrants.  So, really just more of claims that murderous pychopaths illegally crossing the US southern border.  Basically,  "Hey, Biden letting everyone come over, so soon we are going be overrun by cannibals".

     

    I read that as "overrun by cannabis".

    The only time I've eaten at a Ruby Tuesday's was when I was back in Maine taking care of my Mom's apartment after she passed away. The food was OK, but wasn't quite as good as Applebee's (the other sit-down chain in the town). 

    Boston Market came and went here in Las Vegas. The location that we'd occasionally visit has been a Taco Bell for over 20 years now.

    Bob's Big Boy was a name I'd always see in movies and TV shows, but it's never really been anywhere close enough to me to try.

    The only time that I had Steak 'n Shake was in 1981 in Daytona. The only thing I remember about the visit was the shoestring fries, which don't appear to be offered anymore. There's five of their restaurants locally, but none of them are really convenient to visit for me.

  6. Airport: A disaster movie involving an airplane that is being threatened by a passenger with a bomb, while the only airport where they can land is dealing with a heavy snowstorm and another plane blocking the main runway. There's a fair bit of humor in Airport, as well as a bunch of soap-opera style interpersonal plots amongst the major stars. It's a bit dated in places, but overall, it's a good, nostalgic watch. (Netflix)

     

    The first two episodes of The Saint starring Roger Moore, very enjoyable. Included with Prime Video.

     

    The second episode of the new Dr Who (the first episode was actually a reshowing of the 4th special). The new Doctor and companion are generally fun, and it's easy to see where the additional budget was spent, but the story wasn't the strongest. I'll be watching the next few episodes to see if it improves. (Disney+)
