It would have been nice to see the photos. Pointless article.

Movie stars think it’s funny that their kids don’t see them as anything special. Matt Damon talks about walking into a room where his daughter and her friends were watching this movie, and he said “Hey! Watcha watching?”, proud that his daughter was showing her friends one of his movies.

“The Wall,” she said.

“The GREAT Wall,” he corrected her.

And his daughter replied, in front of her friends, “Dad, there’s NOTHING Great about this movie.”

That’s one of my son’s favorite films.

My son is a devoted cinephile and film studies major and he often references a genre he calls “People in rooms talking.” He gets particularly irritated when it’s just their heads, and the background is blurred, destroying any connection to time or place.

He also hates period pieces with actors who have “iPhone Face,” meaning that they have a face that you know has seen an iPhone, even when in character.

He’s bummed about Matt Damon as Odysseus, because “he looks like a guy from Boston, not an ancient Greek general.”

It also gives the cowboy somewhere to put his hand on while riding. Otherwise, you know where he’d put his hand if the pommel wasn’t there.

I use my favorite classical composers and my favorite works for passwords. I figure the average bad guy isn’t going to figure that out very quickly, unless he has a degree in music history,which is unlikely. I got a few other tricks to make it even harder, too.

So like Ka$h Patel, without the googly eyes?

Shatner is a notorious bison-hater. Very well known for that. Even had it written into Kirk’s character. Some of the earliest Star Trek lore.

The cannon sounds better.

Start with existing empty roofs - parking garages, malls, office buildings, schools, apartment complexes, warehouses, industrial buildings, etc. Once we’ve run out of those empty spaces, we can start talking about where to build free-standing ones, but hopefully we won’t need as many.

The improvement isn’t always economic. There are other factors that make any alternative option to anything attractive, like renewability or ease of use.

It’s just that in a Capitalistic world, we often don’t see something as a success unless it is either A) Cheaper, or B) More profitable.
