It really is disorienting every time I travel to Vegas the first day I'm there I literally am just memorizing landmarks to get around the hotels up and down the Strip.

The theme song from Taxi is one of the best of all time IMO. Made me really fall in love with that Rhodes Piano as an instrument.

Thank you for flying Tender Air. The only airline where every flight is powered by the very chicken tenders that you, the passengers on this flight, consume. Eat well, travelers. And welcome aboard.

The studio considered the song selections in that movie "too weird" or "too out there" to put out an actual release. Songs like "Beat City" by the Flowerpot Men, The Dream Academy's instrumental cover of The Smiths' "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want", BAD by Big Audio Dynamite, Radio People by Zapp, it was a great list of songs but not considered commercially viable as an official soundtrack.

Carrey ramming that car into the barbershop (while sporting a milk mustache) while that song plays is one of the (many) highlights of the film.

Okay, weird question here but does it ever rain indoors due to this? I'm just wondering how you deal with moisture.

It's interesting you use this example because I personally know someone who was convicted of a felony for assaulting a nursing home resident in their capacity as a caregiver. Evidently an old person got combative, things escalated, and it got physical. It was an open and shut case. That patient's senility cannot be seen as an excuse for what happened. A cop doing this should be subject to the very same justice.
