  Triangle 2009

  ★★★½ Watched by Rob 21 May 2022 1

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  It is the twenty-first century, people; why are motherfuckers still buying boats? I mean, if you're hauling giant ten-ton cargo containers across the face of the Earth, I get that, but otherwise? We've got cars, trains, airplanes, rockets, go-karts, razor scooters, rollerblades and fucking blimps; why are morons buying boats?

  ★★★ Rewatched by Rob 14 Mar 2020 23

  This week, my employer sent me on a business trip to Orlando, Florida: The Happiest Petri Dish on Earth. I am now home and feel fine, with a kind request from my employer to work from home for the next two weeks. Just in case I start to show symptoms, they want to make sure that their employees are safe. Employees other than, you know, me.
