Phil Hartman has honestly been gone for so long now I’ve forgotten him. But yeah, you are correct.
As for Bill Hader. He’s the best of a bad bunch, and he’s okay, but being one of the better SNL alums is a very very low bar to cross.
And I mean, yeah…I should definitely clarify that I’m not talking about classic SNL (Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, etc…) That generation made great films after their careers at SNL ended.
Adam Sandler
Jennifer Lopez
“Insert ex-Saturday Night Live actor here”
Leonardo DiCaprio (I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’ve believed he was a shit actor forever and there’s a reason it took him so long to get an oscar…and it wasn’t because of “snubbing”…he was just routinely shit up until the Revenant.)
John Travolta
Jennifer Lawrence (Up until recently, she was literally the female DiCaprio. Everything I said about him applied to her. Unlike DiCaprio, she got far far better rather quickly and my issue with her nowadays is mostly her choice of movies just aren’t my jam.)
Tom Cruise
Automation controlled by AI
Elysium; the Matt Damon movie where the rich live on a space station and leave the rest of us to rot.
I’m not saying it’s what’s going on right this moment, but it’s the end-goal of everything that Musk, Bezos, etc… are doing.
Those old beaters contain the best memories. Vehicles today are just kind of soulless. (IMO)
My first vehicles as an adult in the mid to late 90s. Objectively cheap used jalopies that I bought for a few hundred dollars but were loved because they were mine.
My first car was a 1981 Dodge Aries K-Car. The front bumper got ripped off by a guy running with no headlights while I was delivering pizzas and I literally just threw the bumper on the back seat and continued on with my deliveries, then went to my local pick-a-part and took a replacement off a different one and bolted it on myself. You just couldn’t kill it.
I eventually replaced it with an 1984 Sentra that I bought at auction. I called it the “relationship killer” because the passenger door didn’t open from the outside so there was no way to “open the door for your date to get in first”, and half the time it didn’t go into reverse, so since my dates didn’t know how to drive standard transmissions, they were the one that had to push us out of parking spaces. It honked when turning left for some reason.
My point being, when things were wrong with them, they were cheap enough that you could just go to the local pick-a-part and get replacement parts. If it wasn’t starting for some reason, you could stick a screw driver in the carburetor valve to give it more air. You could “own” and “tinker” on those things in ways that doing so in a new car would terrify us.
Every single European country spent everything they had fighting each other in the first world war, and then every single country in Europe went to the United States for financial loans in order to keep fighting.
1914 to 1918 marked the single largest wealth transfer in human history. By the end of the war, America was holding much of Europe’s wealth, which they used to build up their infrastructure and manufacturing base and become, frankly, an economic powerhouse far surpassing what anyone had seen before.
The rest is history.
Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
Arise, black vengeance, from thy hollow hell.
For the same reason that two boring white dudes can star in two different movies in the same year about the White House being taken over by terrorists
Because similar isn’t the same. As long as they can argue that specifics are different enough, that’s all that matters.
By no means do I think she did it better than Joplin. But Pink’s AOL Sessions performance of Me and Bobby McGee has stuck in my head for decades now. (And for what it’s worth, both are better than the original from Kristofferson)
Second choice, and another one that I legitimately think is better than the original, *Tweeter and the Monkey Man" by The Headstones.
Edited: Honourable Mention, because no one ever actually tops The Clash. But Captain Tractor did a version of London Calling that is one of my favourites.
Edited: Okay…one last one. Specifically for the Saskies. Captain Tractor’s version of the Arrogant Worm’s “Last Saskatchewan Pirate”.
For a bit of context, back in the 90s, my then girlfriend and I were decent friends with the band. Enough so that whenever they would come to Saskatoon they’d crash at our place and we’d go hang out backstage at their shows. Weird because the reason we knew them in the first place was because the drummer was my girlfriends ex…but hey…it was the 90s.
Just an all around bar-band all about drinking songs. Something young people don’t do anymore. Was talking to a buddy of mine the other day about how every bar we used to go to in the 90s has been demolished.
I haven’t even met her and I already love her.
Since when is that allowed!? /s
I’m fine with that. My bigger question was simply why am I seeing it in sports news instead of entertainment news all of a sudden? It’s not a sport. it’s a variety show sponsored by the makers of steroids.
I’m not going to say I “love” them now, but I appreciate onions’ use in cooking and flavour profiles now. Whereas when I was younger, anything I ate had to have no onion in it whatsoever.
First thought that came to me as well. Thank You Captain Picard…
The Expanse
Stranger Things
Deep Space Nine
Pharmacy got robbed with a crossbow back when I was managing a Shoppers Drug Mart in the bad part of town back in the day.
To be clear, there really is no such thing as a “Sovereign Citizen” except in their own brain.
They believe that there is some hidden loophole that only “smart” people understand that allows them to reap the benefits of being a part of a society without having to be subject to any of its rules; and that that cheat code is accessed via some combination of paperwork that the government keeps hidden from the public.
Essentially, to them, the social contract (ie. citizens voluntary give up certain rights like the right to speed through red lights, the right to murder, etc… and subject themselves to laws of the state in exchange for that state providing them with roads, infrastructure, stability, prosperity and the right certain inalienable freedoms) is just for suckers who don’t know the correct forms to fill out.
It’s absolute mind-numbing stupidity of the highest order.
