Posted 3 Mar 2015 Michael J. Fox's middle name is Andrew. When trying to register with the Screen Actor's Guild as Michael Fox he was dismayed to discover that there already was a Michael Fox registered so after briefly considering Andrew or Andy Fox he finally decided on the middle initial J as an homage to actor Michael J. Pollard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 4 Mar 2015 In the 1987 film Robocop Detroit Michigan is depicted as a near Dystopian City steeped in financial ruin. Oddly enough Detroit now finds itself in a very similar situation as the one depicted in the film. Coming soon to Protect and Serve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 8 Mar 2015 The only thing I know about Detroit was that it's airport was really really stupidly built. Instead of having several different gates, they just have one long, massive tunnel with like 78 gates in it for every airplane coming and going. So if you land at gate 68 and you have ten minutes to make it to a departure at gate 2 which is seriously about a mile away, god help you. Not that I personally had to do it, just that I think it's build stupidly. So uh, that's my fascinating fact. Detroit's airport is stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
