My brain is in a strange place today

Not feeling good, and my brain is having a field day.

I'm reading my ebook sales newsletters and came across the following description: "...A police officer, a sharpshooter, and a Marine band together to survive in this high-octane series starter..."

So you've got the cop and the sharpshooter driving down the road in a beat-up Trans Am, followed by a bus of Marine musicians performing Sousa....

:-)

This is honestly how my brain initially interpreted that blurb. I really need to re-re-re-watch Police Squad and the Naked Gun movies.

I love those movies and Police Squad! I wish Police Squad was streaming somewhere. I have it on DVD but with various tech changes watching a DVD has become a somewhat Byzantine process that deters me from physical media.

...I do not think that I have particularly high hopes for the Naked Gun remake with Liam Neeson, but I will probably watch it anyway.

One of the problems that I have with the Liam Neeson remake of Naked Gun is that in the originals, the violence was usually accidental - as I remember it.  He succeeded in spit of himself, sort of in a Jacque Clouseau way.  The remake seems to be much more into the violence and to me appears to be lacking the self-deprecating/dead-pan humor.  Perhaps future trailers will sway me.  Neeson does have a good look for the role, I will freely admit.
