Snowpiercer?
Jan 25, 2021
This post feels a tad more self-indulgent than most. I saw a banner ad for a tv show called SnowPiercer. There might have been sone video to go with it. It looked ridiculous. I looked further. According to Wikipedia the premise is thus: Snowpiercer is set in 2021, seven years after the world becomes a frozen wasteland, and follows the remnants of humanity, who inhabit a perpetually moving train consisting of 1001 carriages that circles the globe 2.

I wrote the following on January 19th, 2016. I feel it has aged well. A journalist suggested writing down what you believe before the inauguration.

It’s one of the better uses of a licensed song for advertising. Fun, clever, and comforting for those who want to fly. [Read More...]
