Re:View - Bill and Ted

 Mike and Jay break down the two "Bill and Ted" movies. So many explained references.

What Is Iodized Salt?

 

Blur - Out of Time

I was absolutely obsessed with this song for a while. I think it was 2009 or 2010 or 2011. I would just play it over and over and would never get tired of hearing it. But I don't think I ever posted it here. It seems appropriate again. 

The semi-weird thing is: I don't much like any other Blur song. For some reason this one just really hits me in a completely singular way.

Half in the Bag - Money Plane?

 I mean... Money Plane?

The Fake Phone Ring in Movies

 And honestly, is there a more important issue right now?

Film and the Moon Landing

We might very well have a theme here, but probably not. Just these two I think.

Approaching the idea of a moon landing hoax from a very unique angle. A knowledgeable filmmaker talks about the practicality of filming a faked moon landing.

This isn't meant to be interpreted as conclusive. I do find it persuasive, however.

Computer Graphics and the Moon Landing

 I found this interesting.

As I understand it, graphics card manufacturer NVidia wanted to show off their new graphics rendering so they simulated, to the finest detail, the conditions of the moon landing in order to determine whether the official photos are suspicious.

Mythbusters did a smaller/cheaper version of this experiment and you can find that here.

Do Hershey's Bars Taste Like Vomit?

Blogspot has overhauled the entire system and I have a feeling the formatting of this post will be vomit. Let's see....

I haven't had any chocolate in 1 or 2 years and I have urges...

Before that I had a strange relationship with this whole issue. I grew up loving Hershey's. Then I encountered people who said it tasted awful and I re-assessed my view. From that moment on, I started liking Hershey's less. Am I a victim of peer pressure or did I fail to question my own axioms until one day "the scales fell from my eyes"? Or is something else at work? Hard to say now.

And if my opinion of Hershey's has fallen, what kind of chocolate(s) do I consider to be superior? I would love to be able to do a chocolate taste test and get down to some facts.
