Watched "Harlan County USA" off of TCM. It was interesting to watch that documentary 40 years after the fact, and how hard they struggled against the mine bosses to win recognition for their union. Their union was pretty much destroyed--wiped out in the entire state of Kentucky, actually--and all those former radical labor activists now vote the straight Republican ticket.

Pardon me. That was a freakin' sweet trailer right there, alright. Now I can change off this absolutely wretchedly ugly game of football.


Haha, every movie ticket website in the world is broken right now. One nerd buddy of mine managed to get 4 tickets to opening night before whatever site he used crashed. He should sell 3 and go alone.

It actually got me to tune into ESPN.

Just the other day, a friend of mine was telling me about the time he went to the midnight premiere of Attack of the Clones. He said that the crowd was downright raucous and completely insufferable.

For example, he said that after the Yoda/Dooku fight end, the crowd was cheering and applauding for another 30 seconds to a minute. He ended up not being able to hear some of the ensuing dialogue because of it. He said that was basically a microcosm of the whole night.

I'm not huge on Star Wars so I wasn't planning on going to the premiere anyway, but hearing that from him pretty much sealed it for me.

When do nerds sleep? That's when I'll go.

Kylo Ren's voice sucks, not enough menace.
