Yes! I forgot about that!

I’m continually amazed that there weren’t like 5 sequels to ConAir…ConBoat, ConTrain, etc.

it brought such a great sci-fi conceit to the table and explored it honestly, something that's rare in fanboy-centric franchise entertainment. That sincerity I think will be strained by the demands of serialized TV, but I'm hopeful...

you're like chum in the Bluesky ideological shark tank!

That's what always weirds me out about the other side--like can you imagine giving a shit about a politician to the point where you're going to rallies on off-election years, buying commemorative coins--how do all these people have so much free time?

“Back in my day we even had guns at book depositories!”

What a lovely send off you've written. With the BBC Sounds app getting yanked for overseas listeners this summer, I'd lost track of his (hoped for) return from summer break. I find that I recommend the Year Without a Summer episode almost every week.

A government on double secret probation.

The marketplace of crappy ideas.

A History of Violence is doing its own thing for sure, but it does sort have that Shane-esque quality of a man forced into doing the one thing he's vowed to put behind him to save his loved ones, but then in so doing obliterates his own reason for being. You save the frontier by killing it.

Chekhov's Sound Bite.

"Generals covering their asses just like witches at black masses...no, no. Generals coveting their lasses, just like witches at, fuck it, masses it is."
