Val has left the building.
Val Kilmer, who passed away yesterday at age 65, was one of my first movie crushes, in Willow. He did a brilliant comedic turn in the Abrahams, Zucker, and Zucker classic, Top Secret. Check out his spot-on timing in this scene...
Of course he was in three gun nerd movie classics: Tombstone, The Ghost and the Darkness, and Heat. His story in this Reddit thread about filming the latter is pretty cool.
I'm going to choose to believe that my AR mag body that was used in the big shootout scene in Heat is one of the ones used by Chris Shiherlis.

Tab Clearing...
- Hooters has gone bust.
- OnlyBots: Dudes suspicious that they'd been talking to chatbots are suing OnlyFans.
- $10k a head to attend a "Meet a Mate" pro-natalist conference? Anybody who signed up for that shindig deserves whatever happens, under the principle that it is morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money.

Seriously Uncool
A Maryland man who was in the United States legally was deported to El Salvador and imprisoned there because of an “administrative error,” Trump administration officials said in a court filing on Monday, adding that American courts lacked the jurisdiction to have him released.If only we had a thing called to prevent this sort of fuckup. Maybe we could call it something like, oh, I dunno, "Due Process of Law" or something like that.
The man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, had lived in the United States under protected legal status since October 2019. His wife and 5-year-old child are both U.S. citizens.
PS: Who was POTUS when the man was given protected legal status in 2019? Oh yeah.

If it ain't rainin'...
I think this is my favorite pic I've snapped of Lee Weems so far.
Shot with an Olympus OM-D E-M1X and M. Zuiko Digital 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO.
