I swear I see a face in this planet.

I see it too: Rob Zombie 

George 'Johnny' Johnson, the last surviving Dambuster has passed away at the age of 101. He passed away peacefully in his sleep.

THE MENU: Twelve guests, including a skeptical Anya Taylor-Joy, dine on an island with an ultra-exclusive restaurant run by a stern and eccentric chef (Ralph Fiennes) whose meals are equal parts haute cuisine and performance art; will this be their last meal? A rare, tasty thriller with a savory cast and a light sprinkling of satire. 48/5. 

[December 8, 1989]

December 8, 1989 It snowed three inches overnight, which made my dad late in coming home from his trip Washington DC, because the roads were bad. I think I spent a third of my childhood worrying about him when he was away. My mom was trying hard to teach me to play piano that day, a perennial project of hers, but I resisted because I didn’t have any interest, and the DNA of her own musical talent skipped me entirely. Maybe my brothers would’ve been fine musicians like her, but I sure didn’t have it in me. I knew I was badly disappointing her, and I hated to see a sad look on her beautiful face, so I said sorry and asked if she still loved me and she said, “Of course I still love you, but I’d also still love you if you learned to play the piano.” Couldn’t argue there. I didn’t learn to play piano, didn’t become a nun, seems like I was always letting her down.

It's Jefferson's fault!

I knew the US was responsible for Pearl Harbor!

Boorman actually did a masterful job of salvaging a hugely entertaining bad movie out of what he originally intended to be a profound, philosophical piece. He also made another entertaining bad movie, EXORCIST 2. He's so talented that even when he misfires badly he approaches greatness.

That's quite a talent right there. 

... they're still making Transformers movies?

I most remember her from Cheers but she was always good in everything I saw her in.
