"Some" is doing a whole lot of work on behalf of Stephen Miller.

You already had me with Ooogie Boogie! You *already* had me!

This is just a-, a gratuitous, primal display of Bluesky dominance.

He can't compete with Tom Hanks, but it's worth a shot...

Of course, Stellan Skarsgård added depth with no lines whatsoever.

Never seen Enten before. Like the cut of his jib.

Posting a musical is cheating, but Jesus Christ Superstar (1973). Ted Neeley & Carl Anderson are perfect. Was lucky enough to see them both at the Ottawa NAC around 2000. Still had their voices.

By the by, John Legend should be embarrassed by his version.

Highlander (1990), for which Clancy Brown should have won a Grammy for his laughter backstopping Queen's cover of "New York, New York".

Pump Up the Volume had Concrete Blonde's (IMHO superior) cover of Cohen's "Everybody Knows", "Freedom of Speech" by Above the Law, and not least "Kick out the Jams" by Bad Brains & Henry Rollins). Whew.

The easy argument, the economic argument, the political argument, the social argument will always favour a US solution.

What that does not address is the national security argument. Who has eyes yet cannot see?

Don't be a Chamberlain. Be a Churchill.

Another great example is the excellent Stir of Echoes (1999). What does orange juice have to do with the supernatural? We never find out, but poor Kevin Bacon stocks up.

Both ends of the spectrum in the Alien franchise. Alien introduced the open-ended mystery of the "Space Jockey". Prometheus explained it in the worst possible way.

All according to the US conservative-style plan.

Starve municipalities of all funding: healthcare, education, and now speed cams.

Municipalities will be forced to outsource, sell off, or kowtow to the Imperial Premiereship.

I know graphs can be boring, so it's easy to miss that the graph is LOGRITHMIC. It looks like a nice steady lowering of solar prices. No. It's falling off a cliff.

Now compare that to utilities' actual costs. Insane.

Ok - hear me out. You're talking rich people who love their pets enough for custom art. The terrier is soo close. Why not take it juuuust a little further...

Are drones a poor man's MAD doctrine?

There might be some sort of defense developed eventually, but there's a lot of infrastructure out there, and a lot of low-cost attack vectors.

I mean, if I were the Venezuelan Minister of Defense I'd be making plans...

Given the myriad games set in Pripyat and the incredible series Chernobyl (2019), I'd give myself fair-to-middling odds of being able to navigate the city despite never having been irradiated.
