Bonus you also get to kick the back of the seat in front of you for the entire flight.

The actor, Sam Neill, was in his mid 40s when Jurassic Park was filmed. So he wasn't quite 50 but still more than a little bit of age gap. Artistically I'd say it worked because I always thought he looked younger in the film (mid to late 30s) and Laura Dern looked older in the film (late 20s early 30s). Which kind of closes that age gap into something less creepy.

When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be uncle Buck. Unfortunately my brother took that position (down to driving a shit car that randomly backfires) and I'm just a normal dude 😕

Me and the other Brave Little Toaster kids ended up a bit weird.

Friendly reminder that Ted Nugent shit his pants and didn't bathe in order to dodge the draft.

Addicting maybe but they literally are not drugs. More akin to gambling addiction then any sort of drug dependency. There's a gigantic difference between the two. Sort of bothers me when people throw them in the same pile as they are so much different when it comes to how to deal with those types of addiction.

To be fair the music was far better than the actual game.

Well it has something to do with election cycles cause Republicans will block this every way they can. So the only way for it to even have a shot is for Democrats to take both the House and Senate with a 2/3 majority to be able to make a constitutional amendments. I sincerely doubt that would happen. After that it would take a very long political slog to ratification. Which again, I don't have high hopes for it to get through the States.

Election cycles are how people get elected, so it has a lot to do with election cycle leaning very heavily towards the Democrats for it to not be DOA. Then it has a long uphill battle to get it ratified by the states. To say that it has a slim chance of going anywhere is really overstating the chances of it happening.

Huh I've been saying this for years. Even commented it a while back on lemmy. hope they can get it through but don't have super high hopes unless the next couple of election cycles lean heavily towards the Democrats.

Yep I kind of figured that'd be the case hence why I haven't watched it. The book really was pretty good but I'm not sure how that nuance could translate to a movie. Also it's been several years since I read the book and I'm sure my takeaway would be a bit different now seeing what he has done politically since then.
