Comedian Katt Williams purchased part of an old military base in Alabama to make it into a film production site. It happens to be part of Ft. McClellan, which is where I went through basic training in the early 80s.

The Monkees won an Emmy in 1967.

The 2000 movie "Mission to Mars" is set in the year 2020. So the people of the year 2000 thought that people will be on Mars by the year 2020.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

And the people of 1980 thought we’d all have flying cars by the year 2000. And the people of 1960 thought we’d all have robot butlers by the year 1980. And the people of 1940 thought all of our food would be in pill form by the year 1960.
The future is just one fucking let-down after another.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I hope the food was decent because the accommodations look sketchy.
