  1. Takeaways:

     

    1. This movie made $100 million in Mainland China in 6 days. Such is the power (and awesomeness) of Donnie Yen. If you're new to Donnie Yen check out his scene in Hero.

     

    2. Vin Diesel is King of the Douchebags and Zuckerberg is just like all the other douchebag nerds I've met.

     

     

    3. "When did this turn into beautiful world?" and all I could think of was Devo's cathartic (and strangely prescient) masterpiece:

     

    4. June must have been raised Catholic because 'eating-sushi-in-a-cinema' guilt sounds like a classic example of Catholic guilt

     

    5. Does anyone know the clip they played at the end? There's music throughout so I couldn't tell what was happening.

     

    I prefer the Futurama version of Beautiful World:

    If you take a blind stab at "same home town, any connection?", you really couldn't ask for a better result.

     

    For anyone who was paying attention, this episode may have featured the most direct implication of Howard's age yet.

     

    If you want to take it a step further, there's a guy who does a whole website where he tracks down the locations of iconic album covers. He did a Billy Joel post including Streetlife Serenade (he's NYC-based, so I don't know if he's a big fan or it's just convenient--he does Dylan and The Who and The Clash so i'm prepared to let it slide) which has a building in San Pedro.

    Myself and few others folks responded about the Minutemen being from Pedro. I'm not sure if he said he would look at Double Nickels on the Dime specifically, but I did some preliminary street view research myself because I think it's a fun thing. I'd really like to ask her if she knows exactly where the cover photo was taken. It might not look anything like it did in the early 80's (see his post for the cover of Blonde on Blonde if you want to see how much an area can change in 20 or 30 years).
