I think that this movie is one of the best that Steve Martin ever starred in. Some other great ones were Roxanne, Parenthood, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Father of the Bride. Steve Martin is a wonderfully funny and charming actor and his movies almost always make me smile. I was lucky enough to catch The Jerk on Comedy Central today while I took a break from working on book relocation taking place in our house. I just love how ridiculous the movie is. While the guy tries to kill Navin with the high powered gun Navin is freaking out because he thinks the guy is after the cans, “He hates these cans!” So classic.
The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...
