I am google-y eyed.

You'd be surprised how things can come up depending on your search string. Kinda like when... who was it... Rainbow maybe, was asking about a movie and gave a vague partial plot description... I googled some of the elemets:

black lincoln, chinatown, san francisco

... some others I think.

Google found these in a plot synopsis on a webpage, and the movie turned out to be Jade.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
