Instead of Buddha it's Kilgore in that famous scene with the incense plate behind him where the smoke is rising up in the film.

"Smell that? Do you smell that? Sandalwood son, nothing else in the world smells like that!"

Dedicated to 8th who's comment inspired this.

Thank you sir. Like I said, inspired by our brother 8th.

Re link: Man, when do we get a full length movie with this new technology?

Could have one starring Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Rita Hayworth, Bogart, Robert DeNiro, bring 'em all back to life and put 'em in a flick together.

In theory you could do a whole line of Apocalypse Now desktop clutter.

Hundreds of crap arrows (and one real one) push-your-luck game
Willard emerging from a swamp water ornament
Pile of baby arms pick-up-sticks game.
Decapitating buffalo cigar trimmer.

Also a ceiling fan with an extra mode which sounds like a helicopter.

Opening the door to the office and turning on the lights plays that Doors song.

I'm seeing a crossover episode where the original thin Kurz (from Conrad's novel) and the fat Kurz (from the film) try to stare each other down.

//Opening the door to the office ... plays that Doors song//

What song plays when you open the window?
-- pocmloc, Aug 22 2025


"How much is that doggie in the window" to take some of the edge off that incredibly depressing Doors song.

Like if you're opening the window to jump out after the "This is the end" song.

(Considers posting idea for appliances that alternately say depressing and inspiring things, drops idea.)
