Also Me: WHAT KIND OF DOGS DOES TOD WAGGNER HAVE

(For context: according to the novelization of Final Destination, Tod owned two dogs.)

are you like okay?

August 29:

On this date in 1977, Iggy Pop released his second and most successful solo album, Lust For Life. Bowie was again on board, and Hunt & Tony Sales--who would later join Bowie in The Tin Machine--provided the rhythm section. The title track is technically the most popular track, but "Neighborhood Threat" after its inclusion in Alan Moore's Watchmen is the most interesting to me.

On this day in 1995,Acid King dropped their debut album, Zoroaster.

On this date in 2000, George Thorogood & The Destroyers released their compilation album, Anthology.

And,

Didn't the first movie take place in 1999? This is supposed to take place a year later, but based on a copyright date briefly seen when Kimberly's figuring out where to find Clear, and a date shown while they're trying to find Isabella, this appears to take place in 2001. The realist in me says they retconned it, or the writers thought FD1 took place in 2000. The crackpot in me says there are two timelines now (three if you include FD1's original ending).

Whatever force is against Death sure went to bat for Kimberly, huh? Ignoring all of the visions she kept getting, there's this scene that happens after Tim's death. Kimberly's more or less about to give up, but when Burke tells her that he doesn't think she has it in her to quit, the sun visor goes down on its own, letting her see Clear for a split second before she appears in the scene proper. I swear, that force did that just to say, "hey, I got you!"*

*(No relation to the song that [I think] plays in Rory's apartment during his party...unless that was the entity's way of trying to get his attention, considering he sees a sign later on...I think I'm reading too much into this. It's 1:30 in the morning as I'm typing this. I'd better call it here.)

But yeah, a solid movie, like the first. I don't quite think I'd rank FD2 above FD1, but it's pretty close.

At least I don't have writer's block; I've got the exact opposite of that!

Brain: Nah, let's work on this silly, out-of-season one-shot instead.
