  • Movie Trailers!

    We love movie trailers.  The movies themselves…  Well…  Not so much.  But the trailers are great.  In fact there is a Netflix one where a scientist figures out how to wire people up, to see the afterlife.  It works so well that these people can’t wait to get there.  So, they don’t.  Thus the crux of the movie.  People committing suicide in huge numbers.  And the star of this movie or who appears to be the star of this movie, we only saw the trailer, so we can’t say for sure, but the star is Robert Redford.  And, we think this is absolutely brilliant, as just in case you didn’t know, Robert Redford has gone on to the afterlife.  He’s no longer with us.  Who better to star in this movie?

    Could it be AI?  Maybe.  Could it be the last movie he made?  If so, the timing was perfect.

    In Hollyweird they say they don’t like guns but they can’t seem to make too many movies without guns, lots of guns.  In some movies the hero goes through a whole bunch of guns and shoots a countless number of bad guys, with the bad guys falling like dominoes.  That brings us to the trailer for War Machine.  The star is Alan Ritchson and he is leading what looks like a whole platoon of Army Rangers.  They’re all on some kind of a maneuver, when they run into the War Machine.  We’re pretty sure everyone in that platoon gets shot, blown up or just plain squashed, until it’s just Alan Richardson and the War Machine left, mano on mano.  Or better put, mano on machino.  By this time in a Hollyweird action movie, the guns are usually all gone, so Alan Richardson will find someway to squash or just plain tear apart the War Machine with his bare hands.  We can’t wait to see this one.  

    If anyone has seen War Machine, don’t tell us the ending in the comments section and ruin it for us.

    Of course there are love stories and you don’t need guns in a love story but that brings us to another trailer for another movie, Misdirection.  A couple decide to rob a billionaire’s home.  Unfortunately, the robbery takes longer than Mr. and Mrs. B&E thought it would and the billionaire comes home.  Mr. B&E knocks the billionaire out with his gun.  Then Mr. B&E handcuffs the billionaire.  But when the billionaire comes to, looks at Mrs. B&E he realizes, he knows her.  An ex-lover?  We only saw the trailer but we know it’s love, betrayal and of course, guns.  Like we said you don’t need guns for a love story but a love story with guns, is so much better.

    Note to our readers.  Don’t worry, we will continue with the War in Iran.  We will explain it all, once it’s over.  But it’s far from over.  It might be the beginning of the end.  It is way past the end of the beginning but it’s not the end.*

  • Quiz Time

    A. An old car company from the 20th century.

    C. Something you do on or about April 15th of every year.

    D. None of the above.

    Question 2.

    As April 15th looms on the horizon, we’ve have found out that.

    A. I.R.S. workers pay their taxes on time, just like you and me. Or as one I.R.S. employee said. “We’re no better than anyone else. We have a duty just like all Americans, to pay our taxes.”

    B. They have until Christmas to file their own tax returns.

    C. I.R.S. employees owe 45 million in back taxes. Or as one I.R.S. employee said. “We run the joint. If we don’t pay our taxes what are you going to do about it? Who are you going to call?”

    D. Answers A and B but not C.

    E. Answers A and C but not B.

    Question 3

    A. A movie that is breaking box office records and is better than the original.

    B. A movie about a girl and an apple.

    C. A movie about a girl and some short guys.

    D. A movie that redefines what it means to be a girl, along with, some short guys and an apple.

    E. A and C.

    F. B and C.

    Question 4

    A. This is a serious breech of security because the Houthis now know who bombed them.

    B. This is a serious breech of security because the Houthis now know which type of airplanes, bombed them.

    C. This is not a such serious breech of security as a whole lot of the Houthis went on the get the 72 virgin package, so they never found out who bombed them. The could only guess.

    D. A and B but not C.

    E. B and C but not A.

    F. All of the above.

    This quiz was a little tough as there is more than one correct answer to some of the questions here. We like to do this because it forces the student to focus. Quizzes like life, are not fair.

    Answers. Each correct answer is worth 25 points.

    Question 1. Answer is D. This one was easy but maybe a little tricky, as there is only one D in D.O.G.E. Just like there is no I, in team.

    Question 2. Answer is E, as both A and C are true. This one was a little tough, as the news reported that I.R.S. employees owe 45 million in back taxes but we assume that it wasn’t all of the I.R.S. employees. There are always people in any situation, who do the right thing. Even paying their taxes.

    Question 3. Answer F. This was a little tough, as we didn’t bother to see the movie. But we do know that they kept the apple in this version and there are some short guys. Originally there were Dwarfs in the tale of Snow White but we’re not sure if we can use that term or if you can put actual Dwarfs in a movie nowadays. But we do know that the guys in the new movie are short. We could have or should have a more definitive question but then for that to happen, someone would have had to sit through the whole movie. So, give yourself 10 points for any answer you put down but only F, gets 25 points.

    Question 4. Answer A, B, C, D, E & F. With all the crazy reporting on the matter, you can give yourself 25 points for any answer here. We’re tough task masters but we’re not heartless.

    If you got 100, CONGRTUALTIONS! You’re a winner baby! We used to give out prizes but with the price of eggs nowadays, not to mention gas… We knew you would understand. So now, no prizes but the heartfelt knowledge, that you know what’s going on the world.

    If you got anything less… Well this was a little tough, as there were multiple correct answers and fake news being what it is, trying to figure what’s actually going on in the world, is not so easy. If you were able to complete all the questions, give yourself a pat on the back.
