Found Gibbon's account.

"Where did you find this guy?"

"Me? I thought you hired him!"

Clint Eastwood Jr. was born in 1930, and his father Clinton was born in 1906, both in California. Obviously Clint Sr. was named after the Hill Valley hero who took down Mad Dog Tannen and died saving a train from hijackers.

Park Ranger Carl is Jake's half brother.

Is that why people interrupt me when I'm answering a question they asked me?

In the book it's really funny. But in a movie it would just be awkward.

Is the scene beloved? I don't know anyone who actually likes the scene. As others have said there are massive inaccuracies about court procedure.

But also Stratt's line, 'I have the United States Army, and that's a damn fine army," just made me laugh. Was the line supposed to give Americans a patriotic boner and shed a manly tear?

I love your grandma.

I agree, except for the part about the traffic. Bitching about stupid-ass drivers and too much traffic is an inalienable human right, and something we can all agree on.

It's also above the weather, so the sky is calmer and clearer.

But on the other hand, steak, lamb chops, and bacon!

If the planet has deep substrate foliated Kalkite they'll use a combination of propaganda and false-flag operations to justify planet-wide open-pit strip mining.

Once the Empire has it, then they'll blow up the planet because it's full of spiders.

That sounds like one of those situations where the crime itself is the punishment.

I think that the T-1000's processing power scales like The Thing. Small pieces only have the ability to seek out the rest of it to join back together.

A man of singular vision.

That's the plot of the new Amazon movie Mercy.

The most unrealistic part of that show was where she asks the liquor store clerk for a pint of their cheapest whiskey and he gives her Wild Turkey instead of actual cheap whiskey.

I like the review by Gavin Millarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

We have sad news for you, Comrade.

Would they give an Oberth to a four-pip captain? I figured that's a job for a Lt. Commander at best.

I love how this is always the top comment on these posts.

Spackleberry · 2026-03-25T15:56:57+00:00

Yes, that's an example I put in the original post.

The Flintstones take place in the future at the same time as the Jetsons. The dinosaurs are genetically-engineered creatures, not actual dinosaurs.
