The Tourist Formerly Known as Prince

@TheStingisBack Except Joaquin's name back then was "Leaf Phoenix."

Happy Birthday, Dianne Wiest Parenthood gets better as you age, especially if you have kids. Throw a dart at it, and you’ll hit a great scene. Even with young Joaquin Phoenix and Keanu Reeves in the cast, it feels timeless, and this might be Keanu’s smartest on-screen line ever

@braxtonpope That was an interesting project for them because they produced one album, Heartworms, then did completely different versions of every song and released that as The Worm's Heart.

@GordonGartrell9 nice. i liked that video - a cameo by the legend tony hsieh (rip) one of the best people & trace was great in it. vegas is underutilized for film. gia’s last showgirl was quite good

in the wild

@braxtonpope Exactly!

@GordonGartrell9 from the shins ‘name for you’ video we did in vegas?

@ShyBucketGetter I think that's bogus. Andy McNabb, an SAS vet who wrote Bravo Two-Zero, was the technical director for this scene, and he describes a very similar scene in Iraq where his small squad had to assault a larger force. Just like this scene.

Did you know in HEAT (1995) the iconic shoutout scene was entirely improvised? After finishing their scene, Val Kilmer and Robert DeNiro decided to kill all the cops that had shutdown traffic, unaware director Micheal Mann was still filming.

@MaloraHightower @politicalmath Thank you so much!

@GordonGartrell9 @politicalmath "no way to do that without vaporizing the sampler" in the IR blast from the ship's drives.

You should read the book

@SeanStillmaker @DefiantLs Oh, we just lost Udo Kier a few weeks ago.

@DefiantLs Not so far fetched after all…

Friend: "Hey dude I have a business idea..." The business idea:

@DefiantLs I used to read about rich Eurotrash kids going to Beirut in the 70's and being set up in a sniper nest to shoot whomever. And I've heard that hunting guides in Africa have permission to shoot poachers, and some hunters sign up to hunt them instead of game.

@JoshWalkos Not a very diverse commercial. Are they marketing MAID only to whitey?

Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program has resulted in a staggering and rapidly growing number of deaths since it was legalized in June 2016. As of the end of 2024, a cumulative total of 76,475 Canadians have died through MAID. Watch this sick commercial for it.

@JoshWalkos Have regular suicides decreased?

@aviationarchive Using a real push prop in traffic would be a huge safety issue. You'd have to build a cage around it like modern airboats down in the everglades.

Why weren't we told? In 1947 Italian Luigi Pellarini built the Aerauto — a flying car with wings that folded in 3s. Cruised at 99 mph (373 mi range), drove at 37 mph using pusher prop. Price: $1,056 — $14,300 today. Post-war cash shortages and no reverse gear killed it.😎

@SawyerMerritt @DavidMoss My Model 3 Performance 2021 is HW3. Can it do as well with FSD?

Tesla has released a new video with @DavidMoss, highlighting his recent cross-country trip on FSD (Supervised) with zero disengagements. "Moss’s Model 3 handled every road sign, turn and Supercharger stop, traveling over 2,700 miles in 2 days and 20 hours. Part of his over 12,000-mile streak of FSD (Supervised) usage, David’s cross-country trip demonstrates the reliability, capability and ease of FSD (Supervised)."

@historydefined Find whatever show @johnowenjones is starring in.

You're in London for the day. What are you going to do?

@TheStingisBack For comedic autobiographies read by the authors, I will also throw in Bossypants by Tina Fey (6 hours) and both of David Spade's books. One is audio only.

@GordonGartrell9 I'll add it to the list, and I'll offer you in return, The Friday Afternoon Club by Griffin Dunne. It's fabulous

Three Fugitives (1989) — A Sting Original Martin Short turns 76 today. Somehow, he survived being manhandled by Nick Nolte. Despite its 14% RT rating, I unapologetically love Fugitives. Great chemistry, big laughs, bigger heart and Short is a supremely gifted physical comedian

@TheStingisBack For this movie, there is a scene of Short in drag. He protested to the director that he would look "too beautiful" for a comedy.

@TonyLaneNV I'm seeing too many pedestrian crashes where the pedestrians are not looking at all. They take the signals for granted.

TWO CHILDREN HIT ON THEIR WAY TO SCHOOL 💔 Two girls, just 6 and 15, are in critical condition after being struck by an SUV while walking to school. The driver reportedly took off, leaving chaos behind. A normal morning… turned into something devastating in seconds. What needs to be done to stop hit-and-runs like this? Do you believe more traffic cameras would help to track down these individuals? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@DannyDrinksWine The Spy Who Loved Me? At least he has First Man, the best film of the 21st century.

@DefiantLs That guy got a YooHoo commercial out of this. As in "don't forget to shake your YooHoo" chocolate drink.

Now I feel old.
