    Code of Virginia § 46.2-1078:

    “It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle, bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, or moped on the highways in the Commonwealth while using earphones on or in both ears.”

    Me, a Virginian, after watching Baby Driver:

    Fuck that

  • The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    ★★★★★

    The mark of truly great films is that no matter how many times you rewatch them, they still feel fresh and new. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is a prime example of this. Every time I watch it, the Tension in the final standoff is increased, the characters gain more depth, the directing style is more breath taking and so on. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is possibly the greatest Western ever made.
