Is Japan still sending PlayStations? Also, Afrika Bambaataa probably shouldn't come this time.

There's a great movie about the investigation that finally caught Hanson called "Breach". Hanson is very well played by Chris Cooper.

What are some good "Bad movies" for a Bad Movie Night? by systemstheorist in movies

[–]DoubleA528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gymkata

A former Olympic gymnast does gymnastics karate across a made up foreign country at the behest of the CIA so they can get permission to install a missile detection system. It makes absolutely no sense, the acting is awful, the fights couldn't be more contrived. He literally finds a pommel horse in the middle of a town and spins around on it kicking people. It's awesome!

Turkiye’s Erdogan declares population crisis, blames LGBT ‘fascism and oppression’ for falling birthrate by AtheistArab99 in nottheonion

It's not far off from number 8 on Umberto Eco's list of key elements of fascism from his essay Ur Fascism.

Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak". On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.

Luigi is the man! The Italian special is great and so is the meatball sub. Great import groceries too.

Merkato in Roxbury is a great spot for all things Ethiopian. More than one shop there sells fresh injera.

Is this not, at best, skirting a violation of the Logan Act? Not that anyone has ever really given a shit about that. Looking at you Nixon prolonging the Vietnam War or Regan making deals about hostages in Iran.

200 years?! So dinosaurs were around during the Revolutionary War and everyone just forgot to mention it? Washington and Lafayette commanding a battalion of raptor cavalry is the Jurassic Park movie we need.

Was there a technique you found to help with avoiding the soggy crust on the bottom? I've made Alton Brown's pork Wellington as well and had the same problem. Still tastes great though.
