People tend to rag on Kevin Costner. For myself "Dances With Wolves" is the most beautifully shot film I've ever seen.

I have an Android phone and I like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so got this pic that combines the two .

Did you know that in the 1980s movie PREDATOR the titular character was not originally portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall. It was in fact Jean-Claude Van Damme donning a much more insect inspired full body suit before he left the production which then led to the recasting and redesigning of the famous hunter.

Do I really need to?… David Lynch rules.

A snarky allusion to my pre-retirement profession as a researcher/investigator for the State Bar.

Well, it's not because I know a single damned thing about Wilfred Laurier.


Not knowing anything about our own history is a very Canadian thing to do.


And I am a Canadian.



But that's also not the reason.

So you're explaining your avatar via process of elimination. Rule out a few million more reasons and we might be able to figure it out.

I think it's me who is trying to remember the reason through process of elimination.

Apparently Wilfred Laurier was known as The Great Conciliator.


Now that does sound like me.


Maybe I am Wilfred Laurier?!?

Seventh Prime Minister of Canada?????


Nope, definitely not me.

Martin Heidegger writing his last published essay on a stone slab as part of an art exhibition. It's my favorite picture of him.

Whoa.

Antique movie projector.

Antique movie projector, in action.

Well seeing as how this profile is a thing now I made this avatar to signify that only approved first scenes from the third act of your film that make it to the theater are valid here.

Aside from that, everything else is out of my control and in your hands.
