You and I are the only ones that rank in this order. Goes for me too. Rogue One was the first movie to deliver on the promise of the Empire, which is portrayed as oppressive at the street level, completely ambivalent, and totally unforgiving. All the other movies treat the Empire like cosplay, or LARPers you could…

Thanks for the note. I love that place. The whole state. I would gladly pay into some kind of fund, or do some kind of volunteer work, or otherwise contribute any way I could every time I come. I would gladly acquiesce to tourism restrictions.  

And there is born another generation of insufferable “ironic” film enthusiasts. The kind that are still buying Bill Murray alt-art. The kind that invite you over for a horror movie and insist on showing eager guests a “classic” like Creature From The Black Lagoon.

Yeah what a waste — the characters died and stayed dead. Thank God for that. 

Well, it did break new ground, in that it wasn’t a stinking turkey, unlike the vast majority of these movies. It was the first movie since Episode IV that didn’t put me to sleep in the second act. 

“But Cassian is as dull and unattractive as Wookiee dishwater. How??”

Gonna be hot in Belle Isle.

“tourists visiting Hawai’i give exactly ZERO FUCKS what the Tourism Authority does or does not condone.”

Hawaii has a love/hate relationship with tourists, so just maybe nobody is in a hurry to enact legislation to bring the prices down. They’ll come down on their own, people will come anyway in the meanwhile, it’ll all fix itself. 

I have never owned a 200, but the V6 is a known good engine, and the AWD system can’t be THAT bad, so... what exactly was it? 

Right — the foreman may drive a nice F-150, and some big-site guys may drive big trucks, but Joe Small Contractor (tile setter, electrician, handyman, plumber, etc) will just fill the bed with random 5-gal buckets, tools, and parts. I know a lot of contractors who put very little in their beds. I know a LOT of foreman…

My 17 foot Little Giant ladder fits in a 4-foot-long space. I think this will make a great contractor’s truck. 

The hybrid powertrain is the killer app here. I know many contractors who are very interested in cutting costs.  I'm very happy the hybrid option is the base.  Efficient work trucks are hard to come by. This truck will have a leg up. 

Since when has Jeopardy been:

Anyone who thinks a simple DeLorean makes for “tool” status should eat some mushrooms and think about things for a while.

I find this guy (whenever I come across him, I don’t seek him out) as one of the more interesting centrists.

If I wanted a Rogue I’d buy one. 

It’s so damn easy to sniff out the insufferable these days. 10 seconds after opening their mouth you can tell whether they’re miserable shut-ins or enthusiasts. 

Goldfinger would be an asshole to drink with. He WOULD make you drink more and more.
