I finally realized, years too late, that certain pretty goth girls in high school were interested in me romantically. That realization was far more depressing than anything associated with this movie. Anything.

Speaking of people in the junk business trying to make art…

In government, especially diplomatic circles, certainly. Any trade that thrives on a certain amount of obfuscation.

While that is certainly the tradition, the question then becomes why Cmdr. Crunch hasn't been forcibly retired, having surely been passed over for promotion more than twice in the last half-century.

Jon Peters?

It's not entirely clear in which navy he serves, but I daresay that wouldn't be tolerated in the RN.

Court Martial. His methods are unsound.

A bored bartender once offered me a drink comprised of Bailey's Irish Cream and Froot Loop-flavored vodka. He claimed it tasted like the milk one drinks from the cereal bowl after consuming all the solids.

If only. We'd get jackets made and rumble with those no-good Sharks. Fight with jazz. My nickname would be "Specs", and I'd die at the end of the second act to provide some pathos.

Much to my relief, though I'm sure to Cartoon Network's dismay, there were no children at the screening I attended.

A competition with the Germans, perhaps.

But not at McDonald's.

I've performed similar experiments in my home. I didn't think to film them, as I considered it more of a sign of creeping depression and alcoholism than a chance to further our understanding of decomposition.

Does The Andromeda Strain count? What about Twelve Monkeys?
I say: no they do not.
