Overall good movie. It’s a bit dry, but it never really drags, so I didn’t realize it was nearly 3 hours long. Acting is strong on all fronts and it’s very cleanly shot. The story feels like a bit of a history book snapshot, in that you know that there’s definitely stuff going on before […]

Pigeons, the roaming pirana of the sky, attack their unaware victims without warning, lifting them into the sky and picking their bones clean before they reach a 50-foot altitude. In large cities, pigeon swarms can get as large as 1000 individual birds and can average 15-30 abductions a day.

The “dunce cap” originally had a practical purpose outside of simply drawing attention to the person designated as the dunce. Dunce-like behavior was believed to have been caused by an overheated mind. The initial solution to this was to stick an ice cream cone (with ice cream) upside down upon the overly warm surface.
Being late for anything more than two times in a row causes a temporal shift in the space-time continuum that results in the abrupt death of some child’s pet gerbil.
