Part One was pretty good.

Part two is taking some serious detours though.

Seriously, Stilgar said "Trap Door Spiders"?

Marijuana has been legal for a bit now here in California, but I've known people who smoked it for over 50 years now. I don't smoke myself but I have no objections to those who do. Just don't blow the smoke in my face - it's as bad for me as tobacco.

But now that everyone around me (like my neighbors) and the scent is everywhere today, can you all please... PLEASE.. start buying better shit? Can you learn the difference?

When it was illegal the quality mattered more than it seems to now.

@thewebrecluse I can promise you that Tik Tok isn't going anywhere. You have no idea how much money they've invested in infrastructure in the US in the past year. It's up there in Google and Amazon territory.

No one, and I mean NO ONE, walks away from that much money.

(Unless they're a stoner self-proclaimed genius)

So the very first actor whose face you can see is...

Babs Olusanmokun!?!!?!!?!?

I mean Zendaya follows shortly after but that first man with the sniper rifle is Babs Olusanmokun!

<quick look at imbd>

Ah, I get it now. This could be interesting.

I have held off seeing the new Dune Movies until I could watch them both.

I am ready now. I shall begin.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Plus thoughts about the movies.

I was this many days old when I learned that one of my favorite Sumo Wrestlers, Takayasu - a hulking bear of a man - has a beautiful singing voice.

An example at about 4:55 into this video.

There we go. I'm a stinker, ain't I? ^_^

I wonder how many people have tried it though. Hell, I did the first time and laughed at my own stupidity.

I have a thing for self-referential songs. This and "Hook" by Blues Traveler.

Like most people, the first time I heard this song was Jeff Buckley's version but that version led me to Cohen himself, so I am grateful for it.

It's not my favorite Cohen song, but there's no denying the mastery of lyrics.

@stueytheround @northernbassist

Key doesn't matter.

It does baffle the king though.

“This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled. But there are moments when we can… reconcile and embrace the whole mess"

@northernbassist The chord progression for Hallelujah is in the friggin' lyrics!

This is a truly pathetic way for raise campaign funds, and it's insulting as all fuck, but I have to wonder if it will backfire on him?

I mean, what are the odds that many candidates will simply stop saying this name?

@Graci The man has a lot of stupid ideas about the 80's, given that he didn't come along until 1983.

Leave the real thinking to those of us who were there.
