  1. I saw it yesterday with my son.  We really enjoyed it.  I usually don't go to crowded movie theaters because I am very easily distracted by other movie goers and it ruins the experience.  It wasn't a problem in this case.

    The only time I even knew there were other people in the theater was when Christopher Walken spoke a line.  There was audible laughter sprinkled throughout the theater.  I thought it was pretty unfortunate really, that one skit on SNL has made his very voice a punchline.  Anyone else notice that?

     

  2. ‘Deez-Nuts’ arrested, charged with battery

    https://www.wfla.com/news/national/man-named-deez-nuts-arrested-charged-with-battery/

    A man in Green Bay with a one-of-a-kind first name was taken into custody after an alleged disturbance on the city’s east side.

    According to a criminal complaint obtained by Local 5, 42-year-old Deez-Nuts Kroll was arrested following an incident involving a gun. On March 5 around 10 p.m., officers were sent to the 900 block of East Walnut Street for a reported disturbance.

    When officers got to the scene, two people were brought to a squad car and placed in the back. Additionally, officers took Kroll into custody and he was reportedly standing outside with no shirt on.

    The complaint says that Kroll appeared to be highly intoxicated, but he did follow officers’ commands. It is always mentioned that authorities identified Kroll by his Wisconsin ID card which said ‘Deez-Nuts Lee Kroll’.

    Such as?

    I'm thinking you go back in time, can stay for as long as you want, but you aren't confined to that time forever. You are present, but your actions don't have an impact on the future. So you can't go back in time and kill Hitler.

    So you're basically a fly on the wall, but for as longs as you want.  You experience the time, but will have zero effect on yours or anyone else's future as a result of being there.  I'll also assume language barriers aren't a thing.

    Watching our forefathers debate the constitution would be cool.  It'd be fun to watch Davinci create some art. Posting up in Utah watching the Dinosaurs do their thing would be pretty epic too.

    In the end though, if it's only one thing, under those guidelines, I'm probably following Jesus around. I want to know the real deal, minus 2000 years of religion.

    I completed this wordle while eating lunch and had a hunch that a bunch of people would punch their screens over this one.

  5. The original creators of it are, not pleased.

    https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/naked-gun-turns-35-leslie-nielsen-david-zucker-pat-proft-1235766023/

    Zucker: Pat, Mike and I wrote a script for Naked Gun 4, and we heard Jon Gonda at Paramount had read the script and laughed all the way through it. But somewhere along the line, they decided not to go with Pat and Mike and me. So that’s when they got Seth MacFarlane, and he has Akiva Schaffer directing Liam Neeson. I was never able to meet with Seth.

    Proft: I’m not happy — and there’s a story with it. But I’m not pleased. It may come out and may be great — and good for that — but I sure as fuck should be writing it. I should have done this one.

    Zucker: About four years ago, Pat and I had one meeting over at Paramount with the then-head of production there. It was a woman who complained about some joke that Pat and I wrote about a police officer having to adjust her Kevlar vest or have a breast reduction or something. It’s just a stupid, mild joke, but that was too much for them. So I can’t even imagine how they’re limiting whoever does Naked Gun 4, if they’re that frightened. We’re not involved, and we’ve repurposed what was going to be Naked Gun 4 — as we called it, Counterintelijence, spelled with one L and a J — and we’re going to go out with that one.

    Proft: We’ve been totally blocked out of it. The unfortunate part of it is that Paramount owns it, so they can do what they fucking want. So that’s it.

    One of my hot takes is that  the freshman level understanding of ideas is more important than the rigorous and advanced thought, because the people who take action usually stop absorbing around the freshman level because that’s the point where they can weaponize the ideas. That’s true from Alcibiades to Stalin.

    All the more reason to tread carefully before handing the young generation an axe.  

    In other words, how to leverage the Dunning Kruger effect.

  7. Well, this happened today.  Two cops and a medic killed responding to a Domestic. Southern suburb of the Twin Cities.

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/18/us/burnsville-minnesota-officers-shooting/index.html

    Two police officers and a firefighter were fatally shot and another officer was injured after responding to a domestic incident early Sunday morning in Burnsville, Minnesota, according to local authorities.

    The incident began around 1:50 a.m. CT, when Burnsville Police were called to a home where a man was reported to be armed and barricaded inside with family members, city officials said in a news release.

    “After arriving, the situation escalated into gunfire with responders,” the city said in the release.

    Bumping this thread, because my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew are moving to Minneapolis from Portland, Oregon. My BIL was just offered a partner track position at a law firm.

    Last summer, my oldest nephew died by suicide. The whole family is optimistic, that this new start will contribute to the healing process.

    My brother-in-law has been a lifelong Minnesota Vikings fan, even though he grew up in Florida and Pennsylvania. My youngest nephew is a sports fiend, and is already pestering his father for season tickets for the NFL, MLB, NBA and hockey teams.

    Plus, it’ll be convenient since my daughter lives in Chicago.

    I’m sure I’ll be spending a lot of time there in the warmer months and I’ll be reading this thread looking for good intel.

    Have they found an area to live in yet?

  9. I'll have to try the cheddar bay mix.  As it is, I keep it really simple.  Roll of spicy jimmy Dean, package of shredded sharp cheddar, and a packed cup of  bisquick.  My biggest piece of advice is that it has to be spicy pork.  I've tried the regular and there simply isn't enough flavor there.
