Worked late last night. Was going through Planet of the Apes premiere pictures taken by the paparazzi last night while on a break and
discovered that I missed out meeting the following people: Molly Ringwald, Bill Paxton, and Aaliyah. Yeah, the girl that died in the plane crash.
A little creepy that I saw a movie with her and now she’s gone. However, if you think about it, anytime you see a movie with people there
is the possibility that they’ll die. I’m sure the entire audience that saw E.T. The Extra Terrestrial with me aren’t still alive. For sure the
audience that I saw Cocoon and Driving Miss Daisy with aren’t all still alive. Course, those people were probably lucky enough
not to have to die in such a terrible way. The book and subsequent movie
Millennium
was about fatal airliner crashes and how people from the future would time travel back to the past, knock out everyone on a doomed flight, take
them off the plane and replace them with ”drone” victims so the NTSB wouldn’t suspect anything weird… like why did everyone vanish without a trace
before the jet crashed? The film stars Kris Kristopherson and was just OK because the plot moved along like a snail on pot (i.e. not
only was it very slow, it meandered). Okay, end of tangent. What did we accomplish? Well, you’ve got one less minute to live now that you’ve
spent it reading this paragraph.
