Now that Amy Madigan won her well-deserved Oscar for "Weapons," it would be nice to get a restored Blu-ray release of "Nowhere to Hide" for the 40th Anniversary next year. This is an excellent, underrated action-thriller with a good supporting cast that includes Michael Ironside as a Vietnam vet / survivalist. I remember a lot of guys at the time dismissing the film just because it was an action movie with a woman in the lead, but Madigan is a great badass action hero. This is one of several female driven action movies from the 80s and 90s that helped pave the way for the girl boss action flicks of today. It deserves more recognition than it gets. 📼💕

Happy 50th birthday to my Batman collector's glass from the Pepsi Super Series Collection. 🦇💕 We've been through a lot together, my friend. 🍻 I used to have the matching Robin glass too, but my wife accidentally broke it years ago. It was a very dark time in our marriage, but somehow we worked through the loss and stayed together... Bruce and I still miss Dicky every day tho. 💔
