Pretty much all assassins (and attempted assassins) are mentally ill Unless you are in a position to take control (as in military coups), assassinations really don't get you anything other than fame/infamy and if anything raise the reputation of the target in public opinion.

"It's one o' clock!"

You could save a bit of money on that last one — O'Toole did a pretty convincing drunken Errol Flynn in My Favorite Year.

I think a lot of Millennials have never played an actual pinball game. I'm a fan, but I'm GenX, and pinball machines were everywhere in the 1980s and early 1990s. From the late 1990s until the recent renaissance, they were pretty rare due to most of the manufacturers leaving the field for the more lucrative slot…

I like the earlier, similarly themed pinball "Attack from Mars". But they also are hard to find in working condition in public. There's a simulated version in the "Pinball Arcade" game, which is nice but obviously not the same.

Well, things like the whole idea of Mutiny. It's anachronistic. Yes, there were BBSes in the mid 1980s (I was a user), and even some commercial things like Compuserve, but nothing like Mutiny, which is more like early 1990s AOL. Also, the idea of viruses coming from online sources (as per Joe's antivirus scare tactic…

Wait, wasn't there an old woman dying of cancer who liked to pretend to be dead to freak out her family between the furries and McCheese?

I'm kind of annoyed at the show, being old enough to be using computers in the 1980s and annoyed at how inaccurate the series is about the times, but I think the Joe/Gordon thing is central to the show. Joe is basically supposed to be a Steve Jobs type — someone who has little technical knowledge themselves but…

And don't get involved in conflicts in the Netherlands. That didn't end so well for Sir Phil.

Youtubing didn't work out for him and he's now a chauffeur?

"These Are The Days was a Waltons-inspired half-hour drama, about an eccentric family in an early 20th century American small town."

Nailed it - that's where I'm living now.

Chesapeake Shores, Maryland, is almost as lovely as Cedar Cove, land of galley kitchens, where every single home has a water view

Although I really thought the chicken girl and the statue boy from the book were actually more terrifying — not just for the transformations themselves (which were implied to be slow like a disease), but how the parents reacted: "Oh hey, our daughter turned into a chicken. Let's keep her in the yard for the eggs" or…

I kind of liked the movie, but seriously? That's like saying Battle Beyond the Stars was better than Star Wars.

Yeah the banter seemed like it was trying to capture the dynamic between Hank and Gomez in "Breaking Bad", but not quite getting it.

I just saw it. It's decent. But yeah, it is so trying to be Cormac fucking McCarthy. "No Country for Old Men" it ain't — even if Bridges is basically trying to be Tommy Lee Jones and failing.

"Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money." Great line. But yeah, not one that people would actually say.

Because you don't live in colorful inbred yokel territory?
