Re: the plane that's been circling overhead, this will be the main concern for some:
Yes, I was breaking into that house, but they had no right to film it from above. I'm the victim here! That scenario might trouble you less than the implications of this line:
Since late April. Is this a sudden uptick, or did they just discover the planes were making the rounds? The article notes that the planes spent some time loitering around the Mall of America, where video surveillance isn't very helpful, give the structure's opacity. They'd be listening for phone calls.
I want to see the plane. I live near the airport, and every time I hear a small motor droning overhead I want to grab the video camera, but that could mean a visit from the Men in Black, setting me straight.
THE PLANES ARE THERE TO KEEP YOU FROM NOTICING THE TRUCKS
MOVIES I hadn't heard about this: Ridley Scott is making another space movie. Years ago that would have been cause for rejoicing, but "Prometheus" left a sour taste. It wasn't that bad, except for the characters and the plot. Now it's a Mars adventure movie with Matt Damon; he's stranded. There was a spate of Mars movies a while back, and they were all lame. "John Carter," which was actually fun, was an enormous bomb. Mars seems cursed.
Related: from Indiewire, critics talk about directors whose later work made them reevaluate their opinions about the earlier work. I'd forgotten that the director of "Singin' in the Rain" also did "Saturn 3." Makes no sense. Why, it's like the director of "West Side Story" doing a Star Trek movie . . . oh, right.
WEB Medium, a site that posts posts, and has no particular topic or style or consistent level of quality, is shaking everything up. Business Insider:
You suspect it means they were losing money doing what they were doing before.
Here's some of BuzzFeed's explanation:
I can't tell you the number of times I finished a long piece after lingering on the site for six minutes, and nearly slapped myself later because I didn't click on the heart-shaped icon or share the content with my friends.
NO Another survey begging for some press. CCO:
Can't find it on their website, but there is a blog about the best places in Minnesota to start a small business. Moorhead is not on the list. Here's what Moorhead has going for it: right across the river from Fargo. Without that, it would be nothing special, and certainly not superior to Winona. Moorhead leveled its downtown for a mall in the 70s, and you can imagine how well that worked out. Winona has an intact downtown with old signs and a movie theater. There's no comparison.
VotD Next summer's Pixar movie.
Interesting title. So the other ones were bad?
