I couldn’t let October completely pass without a little nod to Italian heritage. This visual joke comes courtesy of my cousin Dana. Pretty funny and accurate since there’s an old joke about us…ahem! How do you make an Italian shut up? Sit on their hands! Meanwhile, I’m re-watching the legendary movie on HBO Max because it was one of the few good things to be made when everybody was trying to recreate Star Wars‘ success. Maybe Disney will find a way to make better sequels than Resurrection, Alien “Cubed,” Prometheus and Covenant. Then again, the last three Skywalker-saga movies aren’t as re-watchable so maybe they should sell the Xenomorph franchise to somebody who can make us forget those four duds.
Oh yeah, I just realized another similarity, the Xenomorph’s acidic blood feels like the heartburn I’m not getting in my old age from Italian cooking!
