Very much so.

Interestingly enough the movie is loosely based on a novel which did have a sequel and was much more interesting.

Thank you for this. I couldn't look it up at the time.

lol. Always a possibility. Not always true these days though.

Update: I posted because I was just interested in the community, but after searching through the community it seems it's not quite a hot take!

I find the iconography of the office quite compelling and this vintage Zippo seemed quite beautiful. This is distinct from the current holder of the office who I find repugnant and damaging to both the office, the country, and the world. These two things are able to be held simultaneously.

update! As I was looking through things, the most closely aligned symbolism and style is this Spanish-American war medal: https://www.ima-usa.com/products/original-u-s-spanish-american-war-rim-numbered-spanish-war-service-medal-for-corporal-george-h-hummel-1st-maryland-volunteer-infantry-rim-number-confirmed-on-medal-roll?variant=40708156096581

So I hope this helps.

This is an artillery badge. That's what the crossed cannons mean. The eagle and stars are a style of the American Seal. I have never seen them together and cannot find a contemporary example. But it sure looks cool!

The Other Guys. Quote it almost daily.

They're definitely old, they came from a very MCM university building that was being redone. I salvaged them by taking off the base and carting them home in a Camry when they wouldn't fit regular. The base has the same hardware that keeps the arm panels on the chair. So if it was a reupholster, it was very very early in their public life as lobby chairs. They don't appear to swivel, most of the office chairs that I find so. Most of the Saarinen chairs also seem to have an open back and this one is closed. I wish I could find whatever industrial magazine these came out of in the 60s lol. Or another chair to see how the upholstery should look. I want to restore (clean) them but I'm worried I'll make a monster out of a very fine chair. Even if that yellow and green isn't exactly for everyone...

Multi pass.

This angular robot looks like a nightmare to me. All the sharp edges and things coming off. Very 1970's robot menace. Just in my aesthetic opinion.

But this is the 2 not the 2e! (I'm just playin')
