Am I the only one who doesn’t like the cover of the upcoming collectible 4K Ultra HD Chernobyl release (coming out December 1st, 2020)?
I find myself unable to connect with it, aesthetically or emotionally. The Munch’s theme seems out of place, and the way it conveys isolation and terrible loneliness clashes with the intimate realism of the series and the closeness we feel to even the most episodic of its characters.
Oh THAT was the thing, how un-Chernobyl like, no wonder I didn’t give it a second look. What does Munch have to do with anything? Also, are we getting new material yes or no??
I’m a pilot, and thus like 85% of my friends are ALSO pilots and one of them is just this delightful older guy that named Bruce. Bruce is a man of simple pleasures, he likes mediocre bbq and to take his vintage J3 Piper Cub out like, every other week just to have the old girl not look so sad in the hangar. We also live about 30NM south of an air base and, according to him, there was a squad of fighter planes out and they wanted some guys to go up in their planes for intercept practice (with pay, obviously) so the guys could get real time practice looking for unfamiliar aircraft.
Bruce, a man who doesn’t need it but wants to say he flew with some fighter jets, takes them up on their offer and takes the old girl up for them. Now, if you’re unfamiliar with a J3, this thing is slow as shit. Like, horrendously slow. And there was a decent headwind that day blowing in off the coast and Bruce gets the brilliant idea that he’s going to do something they can’t. So Bruce turns that old cub into the wind and just flies slow enough that he’s genuinely flying BACKWARDS and the next thing he knows are these three jets screaming past him, wings wobbling something fierce as they’re all about to stall, and the pilots yelling over the radio like “How are you DOING THAT”
He likes to say he owned the air force something awful that day.
