2022 mileage: 4112.1
Yesterday morning Michelle and I were visiting with my daughter Christy, and at one point during the conversation (I don't remember why, or the context), someone looked up the titles of movies with Nicholas Cage and was reading them off their phone, and when the title The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent dame up, Christy laughed and said, "Sounds like an Allen Borton movie!" (Since I have very high self-esteem.) This amused me, and I made a note of the title on my laptop so I could watch it sometime during a ride.
However, I had misunderstood. I thought she was recommending it as a movie she had seen and found good, so I watched it today. But in reality, it turns out that she hadn't seen it at all, and I had two problems with it: (1) Extremely coarse language, and (2) a plot that, although nominally a 'comedy,' was hard to follow and at times made little sense at all. (I think the primary comedic element was a sort of parody approach to many of the action elements in his movies.)
At any rate, I stuck it out, for a virtual ride this afternoon of 23.3 miles in 1:40.
