zdaughter and I like to watch movies together and we recently polished off the first seven Mission: Impossible movies so we could go see the eighth in the theater. Tom Cruise looks a helluva lot better than me but he still looks old. He is older in this movie (62) than Jon Voight was in the first one (58). His character's date of birth is shown at least twice and they don't hide the fact that he's 61, but it's still hard to suspend my disbelief at all the shit this old man does over the course of 170 (!) minutes. And they're a tense 170 minutes! Remarkably, neither of us had to pee during the movie and we both enjoyed it, and we got to do a few don't-tell-Mommy turns on the way to and from the theater in glorious weather.
But that's not the purpose of this post. We sat through something like 26.9 minutes of trailers, one of which really jumped out at me. This is for Teedge (and anyone who, like me, is stunned that KRS-One is involved).
oh my word

ReplyDeleteactual thing said by actual u.s. senator as reported today:
ReplyDelete"Ms. [Joni] Ernst was fielding questions about cuts to Medicaid that were included in the domestic policy bill working its way through Congress, when someone in the audience yelled out that the effect would be that “people are going to die.”
“Well, we all are going to die,” Ms. Ernst responded, drawing jeers from the crowd.
Ms. Ernst appeared taken aback by the negative response.
“For heaven’s sakes, folks,” she said."
i'll let you guess what party ms. ernst represents.
RIP Loretta Switt
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late to this, but it's ridiculously cool and amusing.
