At the cinema!
IPLawGuy, who is usually at the cutting edge of culture, tipped me off to the upcoming film "Cocaine Bear." He called me from Interstate 66 from his unrestored 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, which has has made into a "convertible" by removing the top with a reciprocating saw, so it was a little hard to hear, but apparently this film is about a bear that goes on a murderous rampage after, well, ingesting a LOT of cocaine. It's a true story.
It's the same hackneyed story we've all heard before: Narcotics trafficker jumps out of a plane with a faulty parachute and dies. However, he threw a satchel full of cocaine out of the plane first. and a bear ate it. Then the bear stayed up all night.
I, for one, am tired of bears being portrayed as drug-crazed psychopaths who will just eat an entire suitcase full of cocaine and go on deadly rampages. The truth is that most bears about now are hibernating in a nice den with a lot of snacks and some blankets.
Sure, that makes for a boring movie. But isn't it time for some realism in our films?
