In a word, no. But first:

COMICS Nice little nod to Hopper - and by "nod" I mean "obvious parody" - in Mr. Boffo today:

Brings to mind this: a search for the real location of "Nighthawks." The best recreation of the painting was in "Pennies from Heaven," which also did another Hopper scene in a movie theater. Extraordinary art direction. No one loved the movie, though; it was incredibly depressing, and people really expected Steve Martin to be, you know, funny. If you listen to Martin's old comedy routines, you can understand why he went in another direction. There's a live performance from the peak of his stand-up fame, and it's nothing but catch-phrases tossed out like fish to a stadium of seals. He mentions "King Tut" and the roof comes off the joint. He's a smart guy. He knew he was doing a parody of an insincere performer, and had become a parody of a guy doing a parody of an insincere performer. But I'm babbling now.

ARCHITORTURE From one of those sites that seems to have no reason to exist, a list of the world's "40 Weirdest Buildings." The descriptions are . . . rather rote. "In Lithuania, Kaunas is the second largest city. This amazing and weird building is built in this city." For London City Hall: "This building name is City Hall which is situated in London." Nailed it! This one is called "Anomaly."

Description: "Did you ever see a building which looks like a basket? No, then see this building picture." Oh, come on. A little research, please. That's the Longaberger Company HQ. They make baskets. Saddest part of the wikipedia entry: "Originally, Dave Longaberger wanted all of the Longaberger buildings to be shaped like baskets, but only the headquarters was completed at the time of his death. After his death, further basket-shaped buildings were vetoed by his daughters."

There's also an upside-down White-House-type structure in Tennessee, called Wonderworks. ("Wonderworks are an entertainment place where person can enjoy.") That reminded me of the upside-down White House in the Wisconsin Dells. Didn't make the list.

I dare you to explain #38. Go ahead. (Also, #40 is a duplicate of #11. Doubt they thought anyone would get that far down.)

MOVIES You heard it here first! From a press release that was, of course, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. (Confession: I waited a few days.)

Never heard of any of it. Googled; the books' website comes up, with this description:

A tyrannical enslaving system, you say? Intriguing. As for the "overall series of writing of creative genius" intended to span 10 movies which will be bigger than James Bond, we'll see. The total worldwide gross of the Bond movies is $6.1 billion. Which is a good excuse to post this GIF, trending today on Giphy!

Note: "Lone Star Storyworld Media" is a project of the books' author. Searches for "sacred quest" on Deadline.com and Variety come up with zilch. Well, stay tuned.

Meanwhile, no one's lining up to do a theatrical release of 3D IMAX Russian Dashcam footage. Seems to me it's begging to be made:
