Today I had the true pleasure of visiting the Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, OH. A truly stupendous experience, and in my estimation, a better museum than the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. I spent a full day there, and could easily have planned another full day if I had wanted to really learn about so many of the aircraft on exhibit, but my one day was enough for me. Its free, and bring good walking shoes because you will be covering a lot of ground in these four huge buildings. In the Presidential exhibit there are several planes that served as Air Force One, and you can walk through the planes and see what the accomodations were for our various Presidents. The missile exhibit is amazing, and I for one did not realize just how huge some of these, like the Atlas rocket and the Titan ICBM were. This is a place worth going out of your way to visit.
As to a movie to avoid, don't even consider seeing "The Brutalist" with Adrian Brody. My brother wanted to see this film based upon the many outstanding reveiws that he read about it online, so I went with him. The film is 3 and half hours long and there is a 20 minute Intermission, so you are going to be tortured for 4 full hours. It is just awful, but if you are a fan of porn there are a few scenes that would likely qualify as actual porn and was unnecessary to the plot of the film (not that there is a coherent plot). This film will likely be a contender for "Best Picture" but it is the worst film that I have seen in years. The only saving grace was that my brother paid for the tickets . He ended up hating it as well.
