I am misty-eyed thinking of how good it will feel, after having brutally had to defer in 2016, to be able to see my daughters see Kamala up there and in the White House.

He’s already into the “why, Mr. Bannon, what do you think should be done to traitors?  Oh, then let that be your fate!” part of the cautionary fable.

I liked it for Skype (before we all became housebound and only able to be in the virtual company of other humans through similar apps), but I can’t say I ever even once used it for anything else, and its main value came when I finally disconnected it and put it in the crawlspace, freeing up valuable TV stand real…

Counterpoint:

The “SPR”/”Interstellar”/”The Martian” trilogy?

I asked that elsewhere upthread too.  Yeah, that’s everywhere now (including games), but I can’t remember it anywhere earlier than this movie.

I’m trying to remember if I’d ever seen the “now you’re deaf/ears are ringing” thing during a battle scene before this movie.

I’d have to guess that they threw that line in for this very reason.

Absolutely, but Armageddon is a lot more fun.

(Obviously, the Deep Impact wave scene is by leaps and bounds the best disaster scene in either movie)

One of the only movies I’ve ever fallen asleep in the theater during.

Yeah, I’m trying to think now if I’ve ever actually gone back and watched it a second time, and I honestly can’t remember.  I think I’ve probably caught the last half again here and there, but I don’t remember sitting down again and watching the opening, because it was so perfectly horrifying the first time.  (Same…

Hell, he’s British, so “Take Me Home” works fine as is.

Also “not the better half.”

We’d all watch the fuck out of that show.

Ha, that’s going to take it from “reasonably easy pass” to “well, 2 out of 27 survived, so on to the final round!”

Ha, guess I totally missed the forest for the trees on that one.  You’re right; if Titanic qualifies then it looks like American Sniper will too.

I also like to think that, despite some problems with my reasoning, Waterworld and Mad Max take place on opposite sides of the same world.

I can’t remember if I ever read the other ones (which is probably a good indicator that I didn’t), so you’re likely right about that.
