We let anyone with a pulse in this country do it. Other nations, you gotta throw down a lot of cash or spend a lot of time behind the wheel just to get in line for a driver’s license.

As I recall usual film speed is 24 frames per second. Animation can usually cover more real estate in the frame, so you may not need as much. I think the Richard Williams book said 18 FPS. Now I’m going to have to look when I get home.

Skip the ice, and I’m in.

The issue with the Chicago site is land use. Our lakefront was a park in name only, and had a lot of landfill, refuse, and railroad filth. It wasn’t until Ward and his deep pockets went to court and waged a number of battles to have the park actually made into a park. The lakefront is managed by the Park District, and…

My grandmother used to do this. Unfortnately, she made coffee strong enough to dissolve a spoon. Imagine being 8 years old and having a birthday cake that’s inedible.

This looks like a good a good guitar practice movie. Watch on the TV while practicing guitar.

I like the lines, but the color makes my eyes crawl out of my head.

Still one of my favorites...

Who says “spill the beans” anymore? Is this 1952?

I grew up in a very rural area. There were no buses that were operated publically. There was a private bus company, Star Bus Lines, that ran a route through the region, but it went belly-up in the 1980's. It was nearly as safe as the MegaBus is today.

But that is Madonna and she can do whatever she wants.

I miss my cold brew. It’s delicious, but sadly, coffee has way too many delitierious effects on my aging body.

Made Mad Max watchable.

Taylor Swift’s always got an armpit on display.

I want thin. I have a long commute, and anything I can do to save weight / bulk in Chicago rail jouneys is a blessing. My little 13" MBP is just the best; the right balance of weight, form, function. These aftermarket upgrades are wayyy too pricey, but they’ll come down.

Nothing is as bad as 2012.

I’m not a rollercoaster guy, but I’d totally do this.

My next door neghbor has a little girl who’s in Girl Scouts. During cookie season, this kid and her mom are CONSTANTLY on the move, humping boxes all around the northern Illinois area. Apparently, cookie sales are required and there are all kinds of sales “activities” that the kids have to participate in to stay in…

Already overhyped. Will probably see the film at some point, but it’s not like existence will end if I miss it.
