Not quite my cup of tea—honestly, I think Bowling for Columbine is much better. In my opinion, that film was made for one specific reason: to tank Bush's reelection by highlighting just how disastrous his administration and policies have been, all while throwing some pretty shocking footage from Iraq in front of an American audience that hadn't seen anything like it before...
It’s worth a watch, I guess—but honestly, it’s nothing special.
That isn't your standard courtroom—besides, I have a feeling that fuel tank isn't staying topped off.
The bottom line is they cheated—honestly, I wish they’d apply these kinds of strict standards to everyone instead of just picking on the "smaller" teams.
I see there’s some confusion surrounding that fuel tank—it wasn't actually illegal, but rather that the crew at Barclays "forgot" to empty it out to squeeze every bit of performance out of the car by hitting the minimum weight limit.
So, the issue wasn't the tank itself; it was the fuel they "stashed" inside. Their car ended up being 15 pounds under the minimum weight requirement, which is why they got disqualified.
I heard they were actually going to use Austria at Grand Central Terminal too, but the guys complained so much they just swapped it out for some made-up thing...
I really love how the American Cinematheque in San Francisco handles their business model—you get an annual subscription for $33, and then you have two classic screenings every week, plus they occasionally throw in some bonus free screenings just for subscribers...
And even if it turns out she didn't cross the line—there’s nothing I can do about it, because you just can't go back and strip away goals once they're on the board...

If everyone jumped in at once, we wouldn't have a race car—we'd have a school bus.😬
It’s a double-edged sword—there are certain movies I wouldn't even touch unless I'd already read up on them, checked out some reviews, and so on. Then again, when I dive deep into reading, I inevitably stumble upon things I’d rather avoid—I guess I’m just one of those people who can't resist a good spoiler...😁
We’re seeing the 4-3-3 more often lately—it feels like our standard setup is always 3-5-2, yet someone is constantly itching to switch things up to a European-style 4-4-2. If I recall correctly, Luka Bonačić was the first one over at the Los Angeles Dodgers to complain about trying to act all "European" with a 4-4-2, only to get absolutely shredded on the counterattack.
