The locals can express their feelings about the blockage by throwing things at them.

"Thoughts are tools, not truths"

It's so long ago I'm not even sure if they are real anymore... especially if you have since moved away from there and not been back there for a long time.

What we have called “motorcycles” should actually be called “enginecycles”. Also, the engine on enginecycles is a four-cycle engine.

We're cooked.

Edit:

General consensus is the movie took place around 1982. $5 then would be almost $20 now, possibly more.

Would you buy it?

You couldn't fully write the play around them if you wanted to to put it on reliably, but you could probably take some interesting shortcuts. "Oh, the protagonist is supposed to wake up from a nightmare in a nervous sweat? Okay, cut to black while they're in the nightmare scene; moments later, open the lights on another part of the stage where the identical twin actor is fully dressed in pajamas and wakes up in bed."

As long as you juggled this right, you could have a character that teleports and changes costumes instantly. I've never done theatre, but this sounds versatile.

This is probably not an ideal way to be an informed citizen.

Maybe this is a regional thing but I've always called it the US

You just wait till you served your time and finally can go home.

But the flipside of focus is a vast blindness. You can't have one without the other. Which might explain a lot. It's a strong argument for widespread use of drugs like weed and shrooms.

We all know the modern complaint: movie sound sucks now unless you have a high-end sound system. Frantically turning down the volume after turning it up to hear the dialogue only to need to turn it up again can be frustrating. Now, this doesn't solve the underlying problem, but why not have a "Volume A" and "Volume B" you can easily set and toggle between with the simple press of a button?

Know what I mean?

Movie speech is so "elegant", every word is perfectly spoken.

But reality is like: "um... so you know... I... uh..."... the spur of the moment, non-rehearsed, reality.

Maybe movies should add more "inelegance" to make them seem more "realistic".

(Okay, so I'd just stepped out of the shower when I thought this one up.)
