Nicolas Cage would star, of course. Better yet, cast Arnold. You could have him play it as his last stand before retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 That's strange--I had heard Gorbachev was given a fleet of ships after he retired. They even named it in his honor. They called it--Mikhail's Navy. BoloOfEarth and Lawnmower Boy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragitsu Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Good sir, are you implying simple prejudice or perhaps - more broadly - parochialism factored into their decisions to reject those signs in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
