Yeah, 'Why didn't he signal his lane change?'. This is obviously not happening in Toronto, where one badly-planned left turn can jam up an entire street for the whole morning, while the Emergency Workers diddle around, taking statements and eventually clearing the bent car. And... it reflects on the TTC driver's record, future raises and promotions, etc.
Some things happened, just between the computers and the humans who dealt with them. A meat-packing plant in my hometown put a few tons of canned ham out to be disposed of, because the meat-expiry date had gone to '00. The fellas who actually worked the fork-lifts spotted this and saved the garbage men the trouble of carrying it away. My Dad came home with a case he'd gotten from his local garage - 24 cans for five dollars. Small disaster = small windfall. Lots of other examples.
I've been making the same observation for fifty years now: The preview, and the movie, shows Bond using a Browning Model 1922 with the silencer, to kill the assassin. Not a Walther. Kind of a tradition with me, I guess.
Might have made a difference if he'd actually played music instead of just noise. Cows like music; they even give more milk when the barn is wired-up. 'Course, those might have been all steers; they only have good taste after the barbecue.
Where in the world was this? I'm amazed at the casual approach everyone takes - even the driver just stands around, then drives away. In Toronto, where I live, the street would immediately fill up with police-cars, ambulances, firetrucks, witnesses, and looky-lous. Traffic would be stopped for at least an hour, the News services would send a truck and roving reporter, and there'd be interviews with everyone from the original guy who phoned it in, to the Police chief, and of course, the owner of the store.
Hmmmm. Minnie must be saying something clearly, in Cat. Before the video was half over, my Pepsi was seated beside me, pulling on my sleeve. And then she led me to the kitchen where her bowl lives.
When we meet Dr. Jones, he's presented as the 'good guy' archaeologist. His 'bad' counterpart is Bellocq, and nobody ever criticizes his work. A movie about him would be lively, I'm sure. Of course, he dies in 'Raiders'.
There's an old Science-Fiction story, by Kornbluth, called "The Marching Morons". The premise is that the future will be filled with dumbskis because today all the people with any sense are not having babies. Look at the birthrates of various countries, (and religions) and think about who's going to be running things in the Real Future.
Not sure I'd want it in my hand - too many nerve endings there. Maybe halfway down my forearm, an area already pretty scarred and tanned, no nerves there!
No, soft-headed politicians are a dime a dozen. Toronto once had 'Take A Bike' racks in the downtown. Paid for by MY tax money. And people took the bikes. Surprise! Police, who were just charmed at the task, found them spread all over Ontario after a few weeks.
