Q1)Super Bowl 59 is held, today: on 9th February, 2025. In which US city?
Q2)It’s being held in which stadium: the Superdome, Smoothie King Center or the Pan American Stadium?
Q3)The ‘59’ in this year’s game is written ‘LIX’. In other words, in what: Roman numerals, Arabic numerals or Mayan numerals?
Q4)At the time of writing? At the time of writing, which rapper is due to headline Superbowl 59’s halftime show: Grandmaster Melle Mel, Dizzy Rascal or Kendrick Lamar?
Q5)Finally … ? Super Bowl 59 is the championship … in which American sport?
† I’ll be honest, Olga, I think that January showing may have been a test screening: something film companies still do, today. (From what I’ve read, Blade Runner two such screenings, some three months ahead of the official release. Which means there’s some seven different versions!)
Yeah … the Triple K …. I’ve just had a look at the Wikipedia entry for David Duke, the Neo-Nazi, former Klansman, who endorsed Trump back in 2015. He backed the Green candidate in 2024: over “Trump’s subservience to the Jewish lobby.” The Greens for denouncing him!
I can still remember seeing 2001: A Space Oddysey at Brentwood Cinema: that had an intermission, as well. That looks odd these days: but I still remember the dinky tubs of ice cream§ …
‡ Oh, it really is local, Debbi! That saves on jet fuel!
If I remember correctly, Debbi, the Triple K’s name is supposed to sound like a gun being cocked¶!
I’d keep hold of that printout, Debbi: I think that Wikipedia page has long since come down. The place is mentioned in the entry on SOE establishments.
§ Brentwood Cinema had a similar sweet stall by the ticket office, Olga. I can guarantee you, by the time it got to the intermission, they’d’ve run out of chocolate-coated raisins. I loved chocolate-coated raisins. (They used to be nicknamed rabbit poo …)
¶ It’s a similar thing, Debbi, with Zang-Tum-Tumb: Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s label. That’s supposed to be the sound of a machine gun being fired! Oh, there’s a ZTT themed earworm …
Q5) American football Lovely. They had different drinks in the bar inside and at the stall, so I used to go to the stall if I fancied a drink at the half time. I'm not much of an ice-cream person, especially at the cinema. (It isn't usual here. Popcorn yes, but not ice-cream, or at the theatre either).
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
