When that movie came out, I was working on the AV model computers at Apple, which shipped with "miserably bad" speech recognition.

These are strange times. Things will be better with more bonding.

I've visited back there, only to discover that what I seen now are short videos from people I've never followed, and posts from Musk, whom I followed back before he went crazy.
Bluesky is packed with usable news content in comparison.

Alien (1979)
I didn't have a TV at the time, so I'd not seen any ads, or have any idea of the movie at all. My big brother suggested we go, so on a steaming hot night in San Diego we went. The theater was over air conditioned, and at the end I was shivering in my seat. Best accidental special effect

Way back when I was a kid, on the last day of yearly ice skating at the arena in my hometown, they invited people to bring records to play instead of the canned music. I brought Tapestry. They played the whole thing, and it was wonderful.

I recall that investigators found a safe loaded with home recorded DVDs.

I speak English, and a tiny bit of Japanese, and even less French, Spanish, and German. Bad Bunny fully speaks two languages, so he totally wins in that.
Oh, and only 40 to 60 million Americans speak enough Spanish to understand his lyrics. That's just 40 to 60 million more than "nobody".

I looked a bit later, and that B1-B was not used in the show, it headed off back east. Spare Plane? Maybe.
No one spoil the game for the crew, okay?

No. You are SO WRONG. That was 12/10.

Great building if you only have like 20 people per day using the bathrooms.

Yeah, the Dragon felt real.

I saw it in a theater in Mountain View, California. When the movie started, it was silent, and we all were thinking this was kinda brilliant. Then the people on the screen started to talk and we realized the audio was off. The theater apologised and restarted the film with the sound.

She looks the same today like she did in Tremors (1990).
She was spectacular in that movie, which I've seen maybe 10 or 12 times.
