It was after I saw the "Flight" movie crash scene that I immediately watched the movie. It was years ago, but I can still taste the disappointment in being tricked into watching yet another depressing movie.
So whatever on that.
That crash scene is still one of the best plane scenes I’ve ever watched. I definitely recommend you watch it.
It’s like "Flight movie crash scene" on YouTube.
I wish they could pay for the right to use that flight scene–minus the drug and alcohol beginning–and have it run to him being dragged off by the medics.
The new story could pick up years later. He’s not an airline pilot anymore. He’s running cargo. That way later he can show off like Tailspin and invert his cargo plane.
He’s older, so that’s gotta be part of things, but I don’t think he’s too old to fly commercially.
I just voted, and it was Democrat across the board. Why?
Because the Republican Party has been infested by apocalypse cultists and wannabe plutocrats. It’s actually very scary in America right now.
XKCD: Homemade Masks
Like, there’s a whole group of people that went out and got infected on purpose. Why?
So they could prove that it’s not a life-altering virus but a hoax?
So they could enact “herd immunity” in real-time?
So they could have antibodies allowing them to party while everyone else shelters in place?
So they could inherit their family’s wealth?
To prove they’re complete sociopaths?
To dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
The fact that COVID-19 became a pandemic is super pathetic.
It never should have happened.
If we’d had a real president and a real, working government COVID-19 would have been a passing news blurb as people lived their everyday lives.
And that’s the point:
The failures of the current administration have resulted in a horrifying loss of life. 157,729 dead in the United States as of today, August 3, 2020 at 5:20 p.m. PST.
To put things in perspective:
United States armed forces casualties —
Spanish-American War: 1,898
War in Afghanistan: 2,216
Iraq War: 4,576
War of 1812: 25,000
Revolutionary War: 25,000
Korean War: 58,209
Vietnam War: 58,209
World War 1: 116,516
COVID-19: 157,729
World War 2: 400,000-418,500
Civil War: 655,000
More people in the United States have died from COVID-19 than died in World War 1.
And some people are still insisting it’s fake. Are still running around without masks, purposely coughing and spitting in peoples’ faces because…?
Here’s some XKCD. Insert some humor into your life; it’s the only way to pull back from the horror that is reality.
I remember watching Digimon. I loved the whole Angemon thing. That first series was the best.
LEN singing “Kids in America” was a great song.
I wasn’t allowed to listen to a lot of music, but that CD was one I got. (I remember reading a lot of songfics and singing the songs, trying to imagine how they should be sung because I’d never heard them. “Hurt” was used in that Xander fic that was like a different background color for every page and I devoured it word by word, it had to be like 200,000+. An unfinished Spander where they totally got together and had a happy ever after because there’s no other option that’s not terrible and sad.)
If you can’t see the above YouTube video, it’s Billie Joe Armstrong covering “Kids In America” for his No Fun Mondays. He’s been covering all kinds of songs, and some of them are really really good.
I’m always so envious of people that can sing. Having a good voice is a great gift in itself.
