Apparently this is happening?

What's the record for time between part I and part II of a movie franchise?  This is more than thirty years.

The Hustler (Paul Newman) was in 1961 and The Color of Money was in 1986.  For 25 years apart. That's the only long time after sequel I can think of.  (Tom Cruise in Color of Money too.  Heh.)

The Titanic is one of the most famous shipwrecks on the seafloor, but for decades following the 1912 disaster, its debris remained undetected. It took a secret Cold War Navy mission to find two unrelated vessels to finally pinpoint the doomed ship's location.

Now, the history of the Titanic's discovery is the subject of “Titanic: The Untold Story," a new exhibit at the National Geographic Museum in Washington D.C. In 1985, U.S. Navy commander and National Geographic Explorer-at-Large Robert Ballard was commissioned by the Navy to use a submersible to find the wreckage of two nuclear submarines. The USS Thresher and the USS Scorpion both went down in the North Atlantic Ocean during the Cold War, and the U.S. government wanted to know why the ships sank, as well as what impact their nuclear reactors had on the environment.

Heh.  A severed rattlesnake head?  Who knew? ?

 



Newly released video footage of the Mandalay Bay Resort shooting from last October.  1,100 rounds shot.  58 people killed, and 422 with gunshot wounds.  Another 400 wounded in the ensuing chaos of the fleeing crowd. 

It's difficult to fathom how someone could get to the warped mindset of Stephen Paddock, the 61 year old shooter.

We may already be living this päntsdrunk trend




The Scandinavian trend is about to be highlighted in a new book by Finnish writer Miska Rantanen: Päntsdrunk: The Finnish Art of Drinking At Home. Alone. In Your Underwear. BBC III reports on the trend, and the U.K. seems totally on board.


In the book, Miska explains how Finns started drinking in their underwear as a way of coping with the country’s long, dark winters (see above) – when no one could be bothered to wear multiple layers to trek out and meet their friends. So they decided to stay at home—in one layer – and drink in the warmth instead.
