Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

I had my year's dose of McD fries at what is supposedly the most beautiful McDonald's in the world, in the former Cafe Imperial in Porto, Portugal. Also good wings, garlic aioli for the fries, a beer, and a pork sandwich that wasn't a very good version of a bifana.

A sign says "Welcome to Schitt's Creek." It shows a man standing up and a woman in front of him bending over in the creek. An added sign says "Don't worry, it's his sister!"

There is a statue/monument to John Adams in Bilbao, Spain. Saw it last week when I was traveling there. Apparently he said nice things about the Biscayans.
