The stupidest thing is that he could have quietly blackmailed the Saudis out of $50 billion on Inauguration Day 2017.

Sounds like the start of a Tony Hillerman [author] Joe Leaphorn mystery. Someone finds a body that looks like it's a Native American ritual burial, but it's not...

[see TV show 'Dark Winds']

There's an urban legend in New York City.

One day, a patrol car in the Bronx finds a headless body laying in the street. The victim's hands, feet, and skin was removed. There's a massive response to find the deranged killer. Everything gets called off in a few hours, after the coroner realizes that it's the body of a gorilla.

There was a hot dog factory in the area.

When you see those Veterans' Day parades and a tiny number of WW2 and Korea vets marching...

If you haven't seen it, "Orphan Black" is a BBC show about a group of clones being hunted down by their creators.

One actress played about 20 different roles in the series; and there were a few scenes where all the clones were in the same room together.

Great show and a masterclass in acting.

Modesty Blaise was supposed to be a 'refugee' raised in 'the Middle East.' She could be Kashmiri, Afghan, or Iraqi.

I'd do it with two actresses; a fifty-something Modesty narrating her life story and a younger actress for the early years.

Quentin Tarantino and I [and probably a lot of other folks] came up with the idea of setting the next Bond back in the 1960s.

I remember a kids' book written around 1965. The 12 year old hero travels from his home in Harlem to Penn Station by subway, buys a train ticket to Washington, and goes to the Lincoln Memorial unaccompanied.

By this logic, the movie 'Stand By Me' is kiddie porn.

Mostly.

Think the world would be all sunshine and friendship if the Saudi princes had the US arsenal? Putin? The people at the top didn't get there because they played nice and shared their toys.

Be careful what you wish for.
