I just thought of a great way to work in a Brad Pitt reference into a training module. However, I don't know if I'll get to hold this particular type of training, and it makes me a bit sad.
In addition, I am slightly peeved that in The Life Aquatic the script refers to the language being spoken by the pirate-type Asian-looking guys as "Filipino." There really isn't any language called "Filipino"-- several dialects are spoken in the country itself. The most prominent dialect is Tagalog. However, Tagalog isn't prominent in the areas where insurgents base their operations.
I really should get out more often.
