Random Factoid #340

Back from Wilderness. Thanks for continuing to visit and comment even without me to moderate! It made me feel good to get that flood of commenting e-mails as soon as I hit service again.

I learned a lot from my trip, and I’ll have more on that at a later date. But one quick thing I learned relating to movies: I really need to brush up on quotables from the low-brow comedies of the 2000s. As my group rattled off quote after quote from “The Benchwarmers” and “Mr. Deeds,” I was left kind of helpless. I was not a fan of those movies and decided not to waste my time memorizing lines from them. My “Knocked Up” and “Role Models” knowledge was practically useless.

And just for kicks, here’s a photo I took from my plane ride to Denver with my new iPhone. See if you can guess the inspiration!

I know that it might not be the “inspiration”, but every time I see a picture like this, I can’t help but think of Up in the Air.

YES! You got it – I looked out the window and saw all the fields and couldn’t help but be reminded of the gorgeous overhead shots from “Up in the Air.”
