Hey, I discovered the Internet Archive
And, it has all of this public domain material, like educational films and movie theater advertisements from the 1950's and 60's.
Mmm, butter...

More strong opinions about trivial things...
*Off The Wall was better than Thriller.
*I don't like Rick Dees.
*I cannot stand the misuse of the apostrophe.
*Sometimes Angel was better than Buffy.
*Although I like the idea of writing with an ol d-fashioned wood pencil, I must admit that I prefer mechanical pencils over wood. Also, 0.5 mm pencil lead is a must.
*Peanut M&Ms are the best.
*If Coca-Cola marketed a less sweet version (not diet, just low sugar), I would buy that product.
*In order of awesomeness, the Star Trek movies may be ranked as follows:
1. Star Trek 2 (Wrath of Khan)
2. Star Trek 8 (First Contact)
3. Star Trek 6 (Undiscovered Country)
4. Star Trek 4 (Let's All Save Some Whales)
5. Star Trek 3 (Spock Goes Through Puberty)
6. Star Trek 7 (Yawn. Oh, We Crashed The Ship. Yawn)
7. Star Trek 1 (Alternative Cure For Insomnia)
8. Star Trek 9 (Insurrection? Did I See That One? Then Why Don't I Remember It?)
9. Star Trek 10 (Lame Lame Lame Lame-Ass, But At Least No Songs Around A Campfire)
10. Star Trek 5 (Oh Ah Must Look Away Eyes Burning)

Strong opinions about subjects that don't really merit strong opinions...
You know, I may have not have an opinion as of yet reducing whether nuclear power is a smart solution for reducing our nation's dependency on petroleum, but I do have some unusually strong opinions about the following extremely trivial subjects. You'll note that many of these have to do with stupid TV shoes from the 70s and 80s. I am not ashamed, although maybe I ought to be:
*The first season of The Facts of Life, the one with a larger group of girls, the one with a roller-skating Tootie,the one with Molly Ringwald, was the best season of the show.
*I love Batman Begins, and I am certain that I will greatly enjoy The Dark Knight as well, but I still have a big, gooey soft spot for Batman Begins. My affection for that movie, flawed and overstuffed though it may be, probably has quite a lot to do with Michelle Pfeiffer.
*Vin Diesel has been in a bunch of terrible movies, but he was also the voice of the Iron Giant, so he gets a pass. I'll not speak ill of him, even if Babylon AD is as awful as it totally looks like it's gonna be.
*I can think of other actors and performers who get a pass. I should make a list of them.
*Star Trek Deep Space 9 is the best version of Star Trek on television (note, I said on TV), but only the 3rd best sci-fi show ever to air on TV.
*I won't say what are the top 2 sci-fi shows ever to be aired, though I will say that Babylon 5 is not one of them. Da-shiang bao-tza shr duh lah doo-tze!
