I seriously believe that this movie might just save Hollywood or something.

I think I’ve noticed something about old photographs (waaaay back, from the 1980-90’s) of myself and friends with our computers, Atari 2600’s and such things. I think this should also equally apply to any old photo of you, yourself from the age of TRS80’s, Timex Sinclares, Apple II’s and ColecoVisions.

What I have noticed (and it really helps to have a dorky old picture of yourself to refer to here) is that if you let your eyes randomly focus on any other object in the photograph, that single object is worth more today than all of the computer stuff in the shot.

This dude chronicles his reasoning behind quitting the stop-smoking drug Chantix. The first symptoms that he mentions are the “Long, detailed, epic and psychedelic dreams” - replete with Leprechauns, giant B-movie actors, and product spokes-things. Then it gets quite weird.

Okay, now that Bigfoot’s been found, maybe we can shift our focus to peace in the Middle East.

A doctor and his neighbour build a specialized dialysis machine his garage in order to save a little girl’s life.

Ed Mitchell was an Apollo 14 Astronaut who is among the 12 people ever to walk on the moon. He has recently been in the news for saying that all of the “Roswell” and “Hanger 18” stuff is true. Flying saucers, little grey aliens, a 1947 crash in New Mexico – all of it. It all really happened, and the government has been keeping it secret.

Mr. Mitchell also has some things to say about The Quantum Hologram of Nature’s Mind.

Roger Ebert (or, rather someone writing to Mr.Ebert) has more than a little to say about evolution and the breeding practices of m&m’s.

Jack Nicholson, on CBC’s “Marketplace” in 1978, touting the benefits of hydrogen powered cars and an eventual solar/hydrogen powered world.

I want to live in the future that came from that 1978.

America will never truly be free until each one of its citizens owns one of these.
