  1. John Stewart on Brian Williams –
    “Finally SOMEONE is being held to account for misleading America about the Iraq war.”

    “Never again,” he added dramatically, “will Brian Williams mislead this great nation about being shot at in a war we probably wouldn’t have ended up in, if the media had applied this level of scrutiny to the actual (bleep) war.”

  2. Crap joke for the day:

    A drunk gets up from the bar and heads for the bathroom. A few minutes later, a loud, blood curdling scream is heard coming from the bathroom. A few minutes after that, another loud scream reverberates through the bar. The bartender goes into the bathroom to investigate why the drunk is screaming.”What’s all the screaming about in there?” he yells. “You’re scaring my customers!”..”I’m just sitting here on the toilet,” slurs the drunk, “and every time I try to flush, something comes up and squeezes the hell out of my nuts.The bartender opens the door, looks in, and says,”You idiot! You’re sitting on the mop bucket!”

  3. Crap joke for the day:

    Joe took his blind date to the carnival. “What would you like to do first, Kim?” asked Joe.I want to get weighed,” she said. They ambled over to the weight guesser. He guessed 120 pounds. She got on the scale; it read 117 and she won a prize.Next, the couple went on the Ferris Wheel. When the ride was over, Joe again asked Kim what she would like to do. “I want to get weighed,” she said. Back to the weight guesser they went. Since they had been there before, he guessed her correct weight, and Joe lost his dollar.The couple walked around the carnival and again he asked where to next. “I want to get weighed,” she responded. By this time, Joe figured she was really weird and took her home early, dropping her off with a handshake.Her roommate, Laura, asked her about the blind date, “How’d it go?”Kim responded, “Oh, Waura, it was wousy.”

  4. I have officially scheduled the vacation days that I know for sure I’m taking this year, one of which is Saturday, May 16. I will probably arrive sometime Saturday morning during the MMMMMeetup. I will book my flight and hotel soon.

  5. Who knew that the movie, Clue, had three different endings during its theatrical release back in 1985? And which ending did you see in the theatre! A, B, or C?

    • I actually think I saw all three.
      When the show seemed to end there was a voice over that said something like, “That’s how it could have happened, but here is REALLY what happened.”
      Then there was an alternate ending and they did a similar thing again for a third ending.

      I could be wrong.

    • In Clue’s theatrical release, each theater only had one ending (A, B or C). It was the beauty of pre-internet promotional capabilities. Unfortunately, I never saw it in the theaters. Once it hit home video (and later DVD) it had all three endings with text in between each one that said “That’s how it could have happened, but here is REALLY what happened.” or some such thing.

      • “terribly silly in a non fun way” kind of says it all, doesn’t it? Especially the non-fun part.

        I could get past some of the pseudo-science, but it rams it down your throat for the whole movie. If there was something more than pretty visuals, I might have enjoyed it more, but this is really an “all style no substance” movie, and I wasn’t impressed with the style.

  6. Speaking of medical news.

    My Dad had a pacemaker installed last Thursday.
    After his near death, brain bleed at Christmas (turns out not related to his fall but to the blood thinner his cardiologist had him on … google “Xarelto”) my mum and dad switched to a new cardiologist who had then both wearing these sensors and monitoring their hearts around the clock. They each had this iPod like device they carried around and it recorded their heart activity.
    ANYWAY … after a week my dad went in and they looked over his data and saw that his heart had long periods of afib often followed by his heart just STOPPING. They showed him one instance where it stopped for 4 seconds.

    So they put a pace maker in the next day and he feels (and LOOKS) much better. Having a constantly functioning heart is NOT over-rated.

    Oh … and neither is cool modern tech and doctors who take a keen interest in your welfare.

    Now we have to get my mum over the flu.

  7. Morning Pan

    Several ski resorts in the area are closing early due to lack of snow. I know a number of people who are rather upset about this. However, as someone who refuses to fall down a hill with sticks tied to my feet, I am happy with with warmer than average weather we have been having.

  8. After all these years I just learned that Nirvana’s original name was…Skid Row.

    Ironically in 1993 Skid Row asked Nirvana to go on tour with them….

    Mind pretty well blown.

  9. Well good goose on a stick, this podcast is still around!

    LOL

    Mr. Mangan, if I didnt know any better I’d say you were the poor man’s Marc Maron. LOL2

    Nearly 9 years on this site? Sugar crispy heaven, that’s quite the feat! In fact when you started this whole wangle dangle, there were no such things as the Marvel movies, nor Mylie Cyrus, and Lost was in its second season! Crazy cramming loner noggins! What a world its become! LOL3

    Jippy Jye yi yo! Here’s to 9 more years!

    BRB1

  10. Indeed, Klecko and Lo.
    New Seuss is great, wouldn’t you know?
    My kids are older, but perhaps they’ll still read it,
    With glorfthats, and Bzeezils, and Skompbunger’s Zeedits.

  11. So the Stone Temple Bennington’s are playing here in April at a mid-size venue for 11$.

    11$.

    Either it’s “look how the mighty have fallen” or “hey look at them get a fresh start”. I… I dont know which

  12. I had to share because this made me laugh. This is from The Martian by Andy Weir.
    “Also please, watch your language. Everything you type is being broadcast live all over the world. WATNEY: Look! A pair of boobs! -> (.Y.)”

  13. Also too, if I was the king, I would ban the following on penalty of death:

    “Preso” as in ”please proof my preso for the meeting”

    “Convo” as in ” I wanted to loop you into this convo I’ve been having with the customer”

    These are NOT words.

  14. “Was it a Lie” by SLeater-Kinney is, bar none, the greatest song ever written comparing a girl getting hit by a train to women’s rights.

  15. Hmm, if this keep up, I’m going to have to start running this page through Google Translate. But, who knows what horrors might actually emerge out the other end of that one.

  16. Well my iPhone case may be good at picking up dust better than a hoover, but at least it was good enough to protect the edges of the phone when I dropped it.

  17. Thoughts on co-workers congregating outside your office …

    Call your office phone from your cell phone. When your office phone rings, pick it up and in LOUD PHONE TALKER VOICE say, “OH HI. YES. UH HUH. UH HUH. YES. NO. NO. JUST A SECOND, I’LL CHECK …”
    Put the phone down, walk to the door and look at the murder of coworkers (or what ever you call a congregating mass of office workers). Make eye contact with one or two then quickly back to the phone where you say their names very loudly.
    “BOB. SALLY. FONTENELLE. A FEW OTHERS. NO. JUST TALKING. A WHILE. NO. YES. YES. OKAY. GOOD BYE.”

    Then hang up the phone.
    At that point hopefully, they decide it would be best to find a desk somewhere. If they ask who that was you respond “I really couldn’t say.” then grimace and shake your head “no”. Like you’re trying to say something without saying anything.

    Ah, sometimes I miss those corporate days. Not much though. Mostly just the hijinks.

  18. Crap joke from Twitter:

    @CoreyJBrewer: a joke I made in a dream last night:
    What do you call it when someone throws a copy of Canterbury Tales at you?

    A flying Chaucer attack.

  19. So, we went tonight to the Potted Potter show. My daughter wore her Hermione getup and got picked to go onstage for Quidditch. My fiance nearly bowled over a young child to score a goal for Gryffindor.
    Even without all that, the show was full of laughs. Highly recommended. Thanks, Desert Pixie. 🙂

  20. Today picked up a collection of all ACC’s previously published short stories for kindle.

    Reading the early stories with slide rules and rocket societies reaching Mars..how quaint.

  21. So – – I appreciate all of the support, and I know folks are probably wondering. . .
    Last week, my dad was telling stories and able to laugh, today he’s mostly unresponsive and clearly not doing well. I’m glad I made the trip, but I wish I’d come sooner.

  22. Your crap joke for the day:

    Hey,” said a new arrival in the pub, “I’ve got some great Irish jokes.”..”Before you start,” said the big bloke in the corner, “, I’m Irish.”..”Don’t worry,” said the newcomer,”I’ll tell them slowly.”

  23. *sigh* Excuse me in advance for a minor rant. I’m sick of people overusing “hero” when referring to individuals that are doing the job they are supposed to do and are expected to do. That’s not a hero.

  24. I fear for humanity…the grocery store in our neighborhood is practically sold out! I think people panicked because of the forecast.

    What will we do in the zombie apocalypse?

  25. Winter weather has me into day 2 of a three day weekend.
    I decided the best use of this time was a James Bond Marathon.
    I have made it through “You Only Live Twice.”
    We shall see if I can force myself to get through “On Her Majesties Secret Service” tonight.
    I am out of Vodka and running low on beer though.

    BTW – I have also decided the Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout kicks the butt of Great Divide’s “Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Stout”

  26. So, as hard to believe as it may be.
    I had NEVER seen that Bond film!
    I know, right?
    I had seen the “car chase through the ice race” scene and I had seen one seen in the mountain top resort with the girls but somehow I had never seen that whole film. Highlites – Emma Peel, bobsled fist fight, Emma Peel.
    Certainly not the worst Bond film ever (Moonraker) but I won’t be in any hurry to see it again.

    Next up … Diamonds are Forever!

    BTW – this is the first time I have watched the series like this and the cultural changes were very evident in the hairstyles and fashions of this film (for guys and girls).

  27. So turns out I shouldn’t be using the heating system until it’s fully installed.

    Council tried to drop off some portable heaters but since I was at work missed them.

    Neighbours could have let them in, but since I had unpacked stuff on the assumption they wouldn’t be turning over the weekend I refused.

    Fleece tonight.

  28. Completely up to you, Jack, but it might be cool (and helpful for you) to have some mini-episodes of ‘awesome ass memories’ of your pop.

    I’m gonna take the initiative to speak for the group when I say we’d totally be on board.

  29. Condolences and hugs to Jack. Very sorry to hear the news.

    Welcome back to Jon Klecko.

    Cynful – I miss Jack’s music, too. 🙂 During the first few years of the podcasts, I actually cut a couple of songs out of podcast episodes and saved them as separate .mp3s. They’re still in my iTunes library, and I still like to listen to them sometimes.

    • And btw- aw, shucks – if there ever was/is a song that you or anyone particularly enjoyed, then you should feel free to ask me for the mph. That’d be easier than clipping it out of an episode. 🙂 (even if I sometimes move in slow motion on these things)

      Goodnight.

  30. Diamonds are Forever.
    Probably the best film of the series to that point. Theme song is right up there with “Goldfinger” (closely followed by “From Russia with Love”) and CLEARLY the best henchmen so far.
    “So delightfully psychotic Mr. Kid?”
    “Merrily murderous Mr. Wint.”

      • ha!
        I notice that the screen shot of the wiki page that they include, does not match what is on his wiki now. I wonder if different people are fighting for control of what his wiki entry reads? I don’t really know who gets to edit those things.

  31. To those who control the financial markets: please stop doing whatever it is you are doing to bring the Canadian dollar down. We are now below the 79 cent mark and that is quite low enough thank you very much. Some of us have plans to travel to the States in the near future

  32. Another day of not being able to draw a letter of the English alphabet on a Samsung Android OS phone. It has caused me much embarassment…again.

  33. So last night was “live and let die”
    It was slower than I remember. Jane Seymour was even more alluring than I remembered. Roger Moore was not so bad.

    The interesting cultural thing was how awkward I felt with the whole character stereo typing of the militant black person. They were all pimps or thugs or connected with crime.
    The more I thought about it though, I realized that this is what a bond film does to EVERY group contained with-in. From Russians to
    Germans to Southern Sherifs … Everybody is an exaggerated, stereotyped caricature. I think because it is across the board in the Bond Universe, maybe that is okay.

  34. The first Bond movie I saw was Moonraker when I was 9 years old (saw it at a drive in theater). To me, Roger Moore was James Bond. I wonder if that’s why I never really got that into the Bond movies (slowly backs out of room).

  35. And for things that actually matter:

    Show of hands – – who’s surprised at the extra layer of bullshit being heaped on top of everything else my family’s dealing with this week? Let’s see, that’s one. . . two. . . zero. Right. Fucking no one.

  36. You know I almost dont want Season 2 of Agent Carter. This was as close to as perfect a season of television that Ive seen. I kind of just want it as a stand alone. But we’ll see

  37. Or how about this…ABC shrinks SHIELD down to 16 episodes and uses 6 of those slots for Carter, thereby securing the quality writing and big tv budget it deserves? I’m all for it. SHIELD could do well getting knocked down a peg(gy carter)

    • I could be for this.

      While I like SHEILD … it suffers a little bit from “filler”, which I attribute to trying to stretch the season a little farther then it really had story for.
      I think that was one of many things I liked about Agent Carter. The episodes didn’t seem to have much “down time” in them.

  38. We got caught up on the Agent Carter finale last night as well. It was indeed most excellent. While I wouldn’t be disappointed if this ends up as a single special season, I wouldn’t object to another round.

    • The saddest think about the Kanye West crap is that I don’t think he does this shit as an expression of his stupidity and massive ego at all. He has a great publicity manager that has him pull this shit because it’s better than a million dollar advertizing campaign… and more effective. The proof is in the fact that we’re all talking about it despite the fact that I highly doubt any of us actually listens to Kanye West.

      • That was my take on it.
        He’s last week’s (year’s?) “flavor of the week”, just over the crest and starting that downhill slide into “hey, there’s that guy who used to be really big” and photo bombing someone else’s fame is a sure fire way to get your name back out there.
        Sad when you can’t rely on your own talent to do that for you, but what evehs. Any press is good press, right?

  39. My background is in sensation and perception, so I’m having some really interesting conversations on it. Everyone keeps putting the contrast effect and spectral inversion up as the explanation. But that explanation is lacking. Spectral inversion can be seen here (http://publish.uwo.ca/~nmcginni/images.html). The problem is that everyone sees spectral inversion the same way. No one sees a contrast or spectral inversion illusion and says no no, I don’t see grey and a different grey there at all. The true explanation comes in through cognition rather than perception. Specifically gestalt psychology and figure-ground perception COMBINED with the contrast effect. Figure-ground is this thing that we’ve all seen in Escher paintings before (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure%E2%80%93ground_%28perception%29). The point is there are areas of bright sunlight and shaded areas in the dress picture. Depending on what someone is using as their background when they are interpreting the picture, they will get a different contrast effect.

    Sorry to ramble, but my expertise is suddenly relevant on the internet and I’m a bit giddy.

    • That’s very interesting, and thanks for that background.

      I also think that the argument stems from the problem that people believe that what they perceive is fact instead of interpretation. Take two people, one color-blind, the other not, and the both know that difference. They won’t argue about colors since they understand the each will perceive colors differently. But, when you have two people that aren’t color-blind, then it becomes an argument because of the difference between their “facts”. It’s just like people arguing about the figure-ground images you mentioned.

  40. If you really want to get into the fun of what we perceive not being a true reflection of reality, there is the great example of the color purple. There is no wavelength of light that is “purple”. There is only the mixing of other wavelengths of light in your perceptual system (if you aren’t color blind) that creates a perception of purple. http://scientificbritain.com/post/44136284657/purple-or-more-accurately-magenta-doesnt-exist (meat of the explanation starts at 3:37 for the impatient people)

  41. BTW – “FedEx Express” around these parts – SUCK!
    Once again they had a driver who was too lazy to walk from the street to my door and instead, left a note at my mailbox indicating they couldn’t deliver because no one was home.
    I WAS of course, home. Sitting in my office 7 feet away from the front door … a door with a large FEDEX note taped to it with the delivery number and my signature on it so that IF for some reason I couldn’t make it to the door … they could just leave the package. In fact, I stepped outside to make sure that the walk I had shoveled clean earlier in the day hadn’t frozen back over AND I HEARD HIS TRUCK DRIVING OFF!
    Ass.

    To make this duchy look even duchier … just an hour and a half earlier a guy from FedEx Ground walked to my door and delivered a package that didn’t even need to be signed for. HE could have left in the mailbox.

    1st world problem, I know but … this one is getting a formal complaint filed.
    That package was supposed to be delivered last Wed anyway.

  42. Interesting. Tom Wheeler, chairman of the FCC who gave us the Title II ruling this week to secure Net Neutrality for all our internet access (well, at least for us in America).

    Founded a startup in the 80’s that would have provided 1.5Mps internet access over cable lines at a time with 1200 baud modems were common. Cable providers refused to sell him access to the lines and the dream dies.

    Tom, as we know, eventually goes on to be come a telecom lobbyist prior to his FCC appointment. Earns the title of dingo babysitting your children by John Oliver in his Net Neutrality segment.

    Finally, Tom betrays his supposed former masters by protecting us from the predations of the big ISP’s.

    Today, reddit has declared that Tom was actually Severus Snape the whole time.

    Brilliant!

    • lmao. That’s a pretty funny description of events. Title II takes care of the worst neutrality abuses, at least here in the US. Now we can focus on other issues, like the poor security in the Internet.

    • That’s pretty funny.
      Also funny was the phone giant Verizon who (stamping their foot in protest of net neutrality) put out the press release in morse code, protesting against the FCC’s “antiquated internet rules”. The joke was on them though, as millions of Americans speculated the real reason for using morse code was because Verizon’s Internet service was too slow to send anything more modern.

  43. There is a CBC program called Under the Influence (http://www.cbc.ca/radio/undertheinfluence)that discusses marketing and history of various things. It’s also available as a podcast and I highly recommend it.

    Today I finally learned what “Canadian” bacon is. (here in Canada, we just have bacon). Originally, Canadians didn’t smoke their pork. They used a peameal process which covered the pork in peas or or cornmeal then soaked in a brine solution. At some point, there was a port shortage in the UK so they started importing Canadian “bacon” but would then smoke it. It is this UK smoked version that was then brought over to the US.

    The more you know 😉

  44. Today’s discoveries:

    The downstairs control for the combi boiler works even though it looks like it doesn’t.

    I’m crap at Rogue Legacy

    Having two toilets can be an inconvenience when one leaks and you want to get it fixed.

  45. Getting ready for bed now.
    For some reason I am getting up at 4:30am to drive to a track meet.
    My last indoor meet for the year.
    Seemed like a good idea when I signed up. Now I am filled with doubt.

    • Good luck, J0e.

      It’s been an interesting week here, outside of reality in NJ.
      The elements are threatening to keep us here even longer. . . Fingers crossed that we end the day in AZ tomorrow.

  46. Good luck getting home, Jack!

    Today is my 15th anniversary at Evil, Inc. It seems like 30!

    I mixed up a huge batch of dry rub for pulled pork and another huge batch of dry rub for brisket, as we are loading up on Wednesday (weather permitting) to drive to Phoenix for my brother’s wedding. I’ll be smoking ~150# of meat for the event!

    We finished Agent Carter last night – loved it.

    Carry on!

  47. Just put ditto’s Carnitas recipe in the oven! My house smells delicious!!

    (I was gonna say “ditto’s carnitas in the oven” but it somehow didn’t sound right)

  48. CW: American Horror Story Season 4

    I definitely like American Horror Story or I wouldn’t be watching in the first place. For the most part, it’s better than last season. Only thing that gets under my skin is the use of modern songs in a plot that is supposed to take place in 1952. I absolutely hated it in Moulin Rouge. But, I hoped it would not become a trend. Now I’ve seen it in the otherwise good Book of Life and again here. I hope it is a trend that will burn itself out quickly.

  49. I know United Airlines is blocking my access to Facebook, atm, but they cannot block my freedom of speech on Deadpan!

      • Back at work. Lots of ex-bullshit to deal with too, in the free moments.

        So much to get caught up on here in Realityland.

        At least today is better than 10 hours in a plane on a runway. In Newark.

        • Ugh. Sorry.

          We can try to distract you with sciency and geeky articles and videos.

          Good luck ironing it out. Sending you happy thoughts and some Bob Ross happy little trees.

  50. When I grow up, I will not blow cigarette smok into the specimenss under the microscope. Even at my young age, I know about contamination

  51. Really enjoyed Last Man on Earth (much to Van’s chagrin). I really appreciated the fact that its not supposed to be lol funny. And as far as him being a slob – that makes total sense but I cant converse without spoilage. But, since Van already spoiled the fact he’s not the last person on earth… I was surprised they introduced a woman so early in the show. But since that woman is Kristen Schall (who happens to be one of the best comedians currently IMO) I’m perfectly ok with that.

  52. As a final note from me: I’m still blogging every week. Starting with this comment, I just changed the URL field in the reply box so that clicking my name goes to my current blog. The blog post I just finished (this one) explains what I’m doing up at this hour.

    Good night, :mush: .

  53. Your crap joke for the day:

    “I’m worried that I’m losing my wife’s love,” the husband told the counselor. “Has she started to neglect you?” ..”Not at all,” the dejected man replied. “She meets me at the door with a cold drink and a warm kiss. My shirts are always ironed, she’s a great cook, the house is always neat, she keeps the kids out of my hair. She lets me choose the television shows we watch and she never objects to sex or says she has a headache.” ..”So what’s the problem?”.. “Maybe I’m just being too sensitive,” the husband ventured, “but at night, when she thinks I’m sleeping, she puts her lips close to my ear and whispers, ‘Die! You son of a bitch, die!'”

  54. It’s my work anniversary today. It feels like 10 years, vs. the actual 3 years it really is.

    Being a grown up is hard!

  55. Took a break from Bondage (watched “The Spy Who Loved Me” last night … fell asleep about 1/3 the way through) to watch “Labyrinth” tonight.
    I have mixed feelings about it.

      • Actually … I found it very slow at times. Although I think maybe it was trying to mimic the way a children’s book will repeat something to emphasis it.
        “You are in a predicament”
        “Oh dear, I am in a predicament.”
        “Yes, a predicament and you are in it.”
        “Well, I need to get out of this.”
        “Because you are in it.”
        “Yes, I am and I don’t want to be.”

        That sort of thing. There were a couple of times I felt the urge to yell “Oh just GET ON with it.”
        That treatment was maybe a little difficult for the adult who is used to modern action films but I can appreciate how it fit the over-arching theme of a girl who is struggling to make the transition from childhood to young adult. She’s trapped in the attitudes and things of her childhood (noticed the books like “Where the Wild Thing Are” on her desk) and is trying to move beyond it to become less self centered and whiney … and interested in junk.
        That whole “2nd level” plot of the movie was really well done.
        … and hey, a muppet riding a sheep dog! How can you go wrong with that.

        BTW – love Bowie, but the juxtaposition of him in a kid’s film and with a baby … the wrongness of that is just gold.

  56. I’m thinking of removing my mother from my friends list on FaceBook. It’s because of her I’ve locked down my account so you can’t write directly on my wall, unless it’s in response to something I’ve already said.

    I’m trying to decide how much of a war this will cause.

  57. The past couple trips to AZ, we’ve all gone to see a movie together. Were we interested in seeing the new Avengers movie, or just hanging out?

  58. Ok Lo Pan, time to stop wearing kooky t-shirts and listening to that feisty music. You’re older and more mature now.

    (Now I’m borrowing and repeating my own material)

  59. Had Haggis and black sausage for dinner. The black sausage was more bland than I expected and the haggis was a bit more liver-ey than I expected. But, I liked them both.

    • I’ve seen what she’s described, first-hand. It’s disappointing. No matter hard we try, we still judge people by their appearances. We shouldn’t, but we do. Some people need to try harder to resist that urge.

      As for the advice, I don’t think we should always assume “people are as or more qualified than you.” That can lead to its own set of problems. If they ask about something, they really want to know. Philosophy has a principle called the Principle of Charity. Or you can call it giving people the benefit of the doubt. Either way, you should give such people a chance. Dismissing such people based on assumptions diminishes them and yourself.

      • This is sort of related, less “gender” so but maybe to the same point.
        One of the things that helped me in my career, was to develop the attitude that upon meeting/being teemed with/having to work under someone who clearly knew far less about my profession than I did … I bit my lip and listened to them anyway. It occasionally turned out that this person who knew next to nothing … well, that ONE thing they DID know was something I did not!

  60. Crap joke for the day:

    Patrick, who was vacationing in the Bahamas couldn’t seem to make it with any of the girls. So he asked the local lifeguard for some advice.”Mate, it’s obvious,” says the lifeguard, “you’re wearing them old baggy swimming trunks that make ya look like an old geezer. They’re years outta style. Your best bet is to grab yourself a pair of Speedos – about two sizes too small – and drop a fist-sized potato down inside ’em. I’m tellin’ ya man… you’ll have all the babes ya want!”The following weekend, Patrick hits the beach with his spanking new tight Speedos, and his fist-sized potato. Everybody on the beach was disgusted as he walked by, covering their faces, turning away, laughing, looking sick!So he went back to the lifeguard again and asked him, “What’s wrong now?” “Damn, Mate!” said the lifeguard,”The potato goes in front!!”

  61. And so, we finally got around to seeing Edge of All You Need Is Kill Live Die Repeat Tomorrow (Edge of Tomorrow) tonight.
    I agree with the complaints some of you had with it (final 5 minutes), but I still enjoyed it overall. Recommended for sure for any Sci-Fi enthusiast.

    Tom Cruise plays the role well enough, but this movie would have been more enjoyable with someone less recognizable as likable as the lead, and with a better title (see above).

    Goodnight (parenthesis)

    • This works the other way. Hubby and I believe in God but don’t believe in shouting it from the mountain top. Nor, before anybody asks why we believe in evolution and equality, do we believe in stupidity.

I’m a firm believer in being good, regardless of your beliefs.
