I only remember a single scene of this film and it’s one that I really don’t think Google could help with.

I’m 99% sure it starred Donald Sutherland as a spy, and from the amount of hair I remember him having and the sepia tone of my memories I think it was probably the 1970s.

In the scene in question, he was creeping up a set of stairs as silently as possible to sneak up on someone, and to do so he made sure his feet were on the edges of each stair tread. I remember because I asked my dad why he was walking funny and he explained that if you step on top of where the stringer is, a stair is less likely to creak.

This is literally all I’ve got. Surely some kind old soul out there will know what movie I’m barely remembering?

The way Quark manipulates Damar to give up information on the Dominion’s progress taking down the minefield is such a chef’s kiss. Chump has no idea he’s being played. “You’ve got your work cut out for you—what’s that going to take, a month?” Brilliant.

Anybody know where I can score some linguiça links for a clam boil? The only place I’ve ever bought it was New Bedford back when my grandparents were alive, but surely I don’t have to schlep all the way down there.

Bonus points if it’s on the Shrewsbury/Rt. 9 side of the city

EDIT: Thanks, everybody! Looks like the consensus is that I would have answered my own question if I didn’t mostly shop at Wegmans 😅

This idea has been kicking around in the back of my head since I watched a documentary on the filming of Master and Commander. In it, they said something along the lines of there being an incredibly specific language of commands on a square rigged ship of the line, and it got me thinking:

A first-person game set in the age of sail. The player is of course the captain. What sets it apart is that the interface is 100% voice recognition: your crew only does what you order it to do, verbally. If there are more traditional mouse/keyboard/controller inputs at all, they would be to move your avatar around on deck—perhaps engage in hand-to-hand combat in boarding scenarios—and anything in the over world level, but the rest is all oral. Bonus points for VR.

You could also theoretically do something similar for Napoleonic-era combat. We’ve seen that the Total War engine can handle the graphics and gameplay, but I’d be the first in line to be on horseback at Austerlitz and having to shout commands to my aide who shouts to the trumpeter to wheel left, etc.

Anyway, I think it would be rad.

Is there a higher quality version of the Serenity blooper where Mal says ‘grab that kid who’s taking a dirt nap with Baby Jesus—we need a hood ornament’? All the ones I can find are supreme potato quality, but I swear it was a lot crisper the first time I saw it (but maybe my quality standards were just lower a million years ago)

Lifelong Trekkie here rewatching DS9 for the umpteenth time and it suddenly hit me: does it seem to anyone else that the vast majority of men in 90s trek—guest stars and extras—are balding aggressively?
