There’s also the shot of Grigori tucking the AK-47 - or whatever he’s using at that point as I wasn’t looking closely - upright in his arm as a dead match for Arnold doing the same thing. My firearms instructors always hated movie scenes like that since it made it harder to convince kids to always keep your weapon…
Well, probably more accurate to call it a monologue, but it perfectly fits the ‘At the end of the day, that’s going to be all the voters remember!’ bit. He’s become the procurement officers.
Yeah, once the Wall fell there was a lot more material of all sorts available - I’ll never forget my first time seeing a copy of Russian language Vogue, for instance.
“I’m a different species than you? Then I should be with my species more.”
Great catch.
If you took Russian back then at any level, that specific edition was pretty much the only one available unless you had access to Soviet bookstores or academic libraries.
Great catch. On another book related front, the English-Russian dictionary is accurate enough for that period, though, that it induced an involuntary shudder for the nightmares associated with its usage.
Yep, Robin’s hair was what got me going in the previews since between it being nothing like 1985 and the boys not updating even a little bit it felt off. (Note El’s hair style after she visits the mall.) In contrast, we have Nancy (good) and even better, the Orange Julius splat girls (dead on).
Which is also reinforced by the several references to Phoebe Cates in the rest of the episode. I suspect the Duffer brothers may have gotten an early DVD copy.
Billy finding himself on a slight detour on the way to the Motel 6 in his bitchin’ Camaro was about as obvious as the sun and yet warmly satisfying.
While I’d generally agree with you on the trope being overused, it’s framed far better than you imply here. This ends up being a lot more about Mike having developed into a genuine teenage asshole to Hopper than said policing.
“What has America done for the benefit of mankind? Let our answer be this–America, with the same voice which spoke herself into existence as a nation, proclaimed to mankind the inextinguishable rights of human nature, and the only lawful foundations of government. America, in the assembly of nations, since her…
I may make this tomorrow.
It’s nuclear powered. Any time there’s potential release of nuclear material it’s all hands on deck in a normal presidency, although how Trump’s NATSEC team actually works is another question.
It’s generally considered a pretty high honor to march in an inauguration, and welcome home parades tend to be liked a lot. Small town ones can be nice too, although that tends to be more reservists than active duty.
They haven’t released the ranks of the other half of the casualties, but when you lose 7 full captains and 2 Heroes of Russia (I was slightly off when I posted that on mobile as I combined the two) on a single crew there was something utterly extraordinary going on to get them all together on this cruise.
My NATSEC feeds have been lighting up all day that there’s a possibility the Pence non trip (he actually never left DC, partially because there was a report of a shooter at the airbase he was going to visit) might have something to do with the Russian sub going down in the Black Sea.
VEVO sadly seems to have nuked the upload of this that had better sound quality and that wasn’t cropped, unfortunately, but I still think his 1978 NYE performance with the Oakland Symphony at the Paramount is probably the best ever of this song.
Suicide isn’t suspected.
