Monday Night Open Thread

Posted by Basil on 14 May 2018, 9:00 pm

Okay, it’s starting to look like I”m sharing a Movies Explained For video every week. That was not my intent. I really enjoyed the attitude Jebediah took explaining classic films such as The Godfather and Psycho to millennials, so I shared those. But, his take on those superhero movies is so dear to my heart, I had to share the one I did last week.

Well, there’s one more superhero movie he did, and I’m going to share it. Language (bleeped) warning again. Oh, and pay attention real close for the first 30 seconds or you’ll miss the best part.

Told ya.

Anyway, now it’s your turn. Monday Night Open Thread means it’s your turn to run the show.

What’s on your mind?

While criticizing the Trump tax cuts, Nancy Pelosi stammered “uh milli-, uh billi-, uh a trillion and a half dollars.”

Looks like Warner Bros. may have finally found a closer for their Looney Tunes reboot.

[Astronauts falling on the Moon, NASA Apollo Mission Landed on the Lunar Surface] (Viewer #153,371)

I’ve seen a lot of moon footage. None of it this.

Also, it made me think about how that fragile little suit was all that stood between those astronauts & death by vacuum.

Personally, I’d be a lot more leery of rolling around on a surface covered with random sharp rocks.
