Thinking about Florida today, and remembered this quote:

Ignorance is the absence of knowledge.
Stupidity is the rejection of knowledge.

And Ron DeSants is the antithesis of knowledge.

Couldn’t have said it better.

Jeez, for a minute I thought my brain really had crashed - I found an ad for the preview of Capricorn One the week before it came out on June 2, 1978 (NOT 1977 as the imdb would have it - they put December of 1977 as its release date and say it came out in Japan - well, really? Not a Japanese film and I doubt it was even finished by then). And yes, while they didn't have the title in the almost full page preview ad, they did have the graphic and ad line. And it was at the National. How could I be that off? But then I went back to April, two months before the release and voila - preview at the Village. The same kind of ad but no graphic - just the ad line. So, whew, and glad my memory is still mostly working. Interestingly, both previews were in 70mm.

So the Capricorn preview was at the National? My memory has me seeing it at the Bruin. Is that where it played? If not, that part of my own brain crashed long ago.

I still have no idea why I didn't go to see Parallax. Though it's not impossible that I did. When I watched it years later, a few scenes did seem familiar.

I saw Capricorn's preview at the Village. Then it previewed again right before it opened, this time at the National. And then it played the Bruin.

Finished with my viewing.

I'm trying hard not to eat anything else. I had two tuna sandwiches on bagels, and then a third bagel with cream cheese. So, if you break it down - a sandwich for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and a bagel and cream cheese for dinner.

I'm having a little craving for a McDonald's cheeseburger but I'd have to get dressed and drive over there and I don't think I'm going to do that.

I'm just not.

No way.

Although I could.

Nothing stopping me but me.

To cheese or not to cheese. That is the question.

I'm home.

So, I took my car to the dealer and have a loaner.

George · « **Reply #288 on:** May 23, 2023, 11:36:21 PM »

I'm glad I didn't get the Crosstrek.

George · « **Reply #289 on:** May 23, 2023, 11:36:59 PM »

The screen is the larger screen and is just too damned big and distracting!

George · « **Reply #290 on:** May 23, 2023, 11:37:46 PM »

I've gotten used to the smaller screen in my Impreza, but I still look at it more than I should.

George · « **Reply #291 on:** May 23, 2023, 11:38:14 PM »

So, I'm really glad I didn't get any car with a large screen like this one.

George · « **Reply #292 on:** May 23, 2023, 11:38:54 PM »

Of course, the car drives well, being a 2024 model.

George · « **Reply #293 on:** May 23, 2023, 11:39:53 PM »

But it's black, which did make me have to think about which black car in the parking lot was my loaner. $:-\$
