"Primer" was very good, and "Safety Not Guaranteed" was excellent. I saw "THX 1138" and "Dark Star", but don't remember them enough to review (it was 50 years ago!).
Definitely going to check out some of these others. TY!

If he could be put in prison for lying he'd already be there.
He says he'll do a lot of illegal shit - like jailing his political adversaries. Oh, wait - the "Supreme" court said that's OK. NVM.
Thank you for saving him. I'm sure he was mere minutes from being eaten by aliens.
"Blue" is my default dog name recommendation.
Here's a (hypothetical) example of how tariffs work:
Portuguese companies sell cork in the US for 20% less than US cork manufacturers. The US government puts a 25% tariff on Portuguese cork.
Now Americans pay 20% more for cork, because they're buying US cork.
That's it. Portugal doesn't give us monies - they sell less to us, so lose those sales.
US citizens pay more for cork.
Waiting for Trump to visit & give a hearty thumbs-up.
Puh'leeze!

In 1980 I did this on a the most advanced flight simulator in the Navy. I was testing a radar effect (I worked on the Digital Radar Land Mass system), and reset the airplane to 10,000ft at a randomly chosen lat/long. When I took it off pause there was zero radar or visual, then 30 seconds later it crashed.
Took me over an hour to figure out I had reset an A6-E to inside Mt. Rainier. No terrain on the inside, then you fly into the (out) side of a mountain.
Embarrassing, kind of

It's so frustrating, watching the media clamoring for eyeballs at any cost - including reality and truth.

Great, now I'm hungry.
Usually that happens if you die and no-one finds you for a couple days.
Geez 'O Peets, sorry. I didn't mean the humor to get that dark.
She's a sweet girl.
@SuziqLeathers
Maybe they're too busy dealing with dozens of other time-traveler assassins.

She's not giving kisses, she's basting your face. Makes it tastier to munch. /s

The real magic of Xanth is the capacity for bad puns.
Although the adult conspiracy is always entertaining.
We're not hearing anything more about the Trump assassination attempt because the government doesn't know how to explain to us the facts of time travel.

I know how to fix it. All of it. Just ask.
