| Remember that George Carlin passed away in 2008? |
If I hadn't vowed to watch all 217 episodes of 'The X-Files' in 2020 I would have given up watching this shit a few seasons back.
It's only interesting for me as a pop-cultural study of the times and a head-scratcher as to why this show was/is so popular.
I can see why I never bothered watching this show when it was popular in the 90/00s now.

As [Mad?-] Max points out in the comment section below, Bryan Cranston was also in a movie called 'Drive' in 2011, which I found amusing, because in that movie Cranston's character is named Shannon, and I'm working on a post at the moment that features an Australian singer named Shannon Noll, who I met a few years back at one of his gig's in a pub just a short walk from where I used to live back then, and he had a hit song way back called 'Drive':-)
But wait, there's more ...
My father's funeral (he was a cab driver for most of his life) was also held on September 16th, 2016, the year my team the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks won their first ever NRL Grand Final.
Both Shannon and I are mad Sharkie fans, too:-)
I also noticed on Shannon's Wiki page that, "Noll married his long-time girlfriend Rochelle Ogston at St Peter's Church in Cremorne, New South Wales on 2 October 2004"The Sharks won the 2016 NRL Grand Final on the Noll's wedding anniversary on October 2nd:-)
The original Matrix was great!
ReplyDeleteBryan Cranston also starred in 2011 movie, "Drive."
ReplyDeleteGood synchromystic point there Max.
ReplyDeleteI had seen that film years ago on a Blockbuster DVD rental and forgot Bryan was in it.
The only thing I really recall was the graphic head stomping scene where Gosling's character relentlessly stomps a guy's head in.
On a personal note I like how Cranston's character was named Shannon in that movie, as I met a singer named Shannon Noll a few years back after one of his gig's at a pub a short walk from where I lived back then (I didn't have to drive to get there in other words, and could have a few drinks and walk home again:-) where he performed his hit song 'Drive'.
The thing is that I'm working on a future post at the moment featuring Shannon, as well:-)
