    This only works on like mid movies, maybe. You can’t do it with a film like Plan 9 from Outer Space or The Room because the jank is part of the appeal. But maybe an actually good version of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? Sucker Punch, but with a better director?


  • My go-to salmon recipe comes from a “farm-to-table” Japanese cookbook: about 1.5"-2" wide salmon fillets resting on a sheet of foil big enough to wrap them; dollop of butter, salt, sprinkled with sake, and garnished with a green onion sprig (I’ve also used a garlic medallion as substitute and might be better). Wrap them up and broil them on high in the oven for like ten minutes. So good, so simple.





  • Last time I recall flying Spirit (which was many years ago) at the end of the flight, the attendant gave the whole speech about “thank you for flying Spirit Airlines, America’s premiere budget airline” or whatever it is they say.

    From the back of the plane I hear a voice call out “…you charged me for water!”

    I know it’s all based on what’s familiar, but I imagine I’d have a hard time converting to Celsius for a weather report. I’ve lived in tropical climates in the US for over half my life so when people say things like “it’s a hot 30 degrees out there!” it just short-circuits my brain.

    One time I was flying to Atlanta from Richmond and there was some kind of weather issue. But they did not cancel the flight just delayed it… by like eight hours or something. Everyone was cancelling, but the desk told me that I was welcome to wait since the flight was not cancelled. I couldn’t afford a hotel so I did that. I was the only person in the airport. I bought a book and watched everything shut down around me. I sat alone and watched the Zamboni thing come by to clean the floors. Eventually the guy who waves the glowing orange wands on the runway came in and told me that the flight was coming in, but that they might wind up cancelling it. Awhile later a random Frontier (I think it was Frontier at least) came to the desk and started booting up her computers. Apparently there was another guy who waited because he just showed up out of nowhere.

    The attendant told me that the crew was based out of Atlanta and wanted to get back home, so the plane would be heading back and that we were the only two passengers. We were both upgraded to First Class. I could tell that the attendant was tired and hated that she had to stay at work until this flight arrived. So I stood at the gate and asked, stone-faced: “Are we boarding by zone?” She laughed HARD.

    Wound up passing out before I even finished my complimentary cocktail and missed out on the First Class experience. Woke up as we began landing procedures to the other guy surround by attractive flight attendants having a great time.
