It’s gatekeeping for people who in the Pacific Northwest to stigmatize those they define as not local enough. Like drinking unsweetened tea in the South. But like a 5year old? read this book it tells you all you need to know about the meaningless things insecure people cling to to feel superior.

Ann Hornaday once described it as Lost in Space of Yes Album Covers. And she was absolutely right. A stunning movie, also stunningly bad. A waste of Jared Harris's considerable talents. I wonder if he ever got the chance at another SciFi production/s

I was 11. I recall my family got up at around 4am to drive to Baltimore and take a bus to Ft McHenry for fireworks timed perfectly to end at the “dawn’s early light” to reveal our flag was still there. Plus I had this cool lunchbox. Pop culture was awash in this stuff.

Would you feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you £20,000 for every dot that stopped - would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money? Or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare?
