Hijacker jack review6/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Profoundly unfortunate timing beset Tom Kerridge’s bid to save the pubs of Britain, throughout all three episodes, filmed separately. ![]() Witty and searing, this is (if you can get over the Tarantino stuff) one to clutch to your chest: watch much! Ethan Hawke’s marvellous madness is, in the third episode, redeemed from cries of “white saviour” by the appearance of Frederick Douglass, who calms bible-boy down finally: one white man can’t, no matter the flesh or the will, accumulate the black experience. The Good Lord Bird is, if you haven’t yet had the joy, a fairly rumbly retelling of the story of John Brown, driven by God to free all in slavery. Yes, people should have the right to love who they will. It’s gorgeous in many ways, infuriating in more, chiefly how sunnily slow it is. And perforce a certain teen gender-questioning. It is directed and made by Luca Guadagnino, joyously garlanded for Call Me By Your Name, so will feature, among all else, coming-of-age scenes. Jack Dylan Grazer as Fraser and Alice Braga as Maggie in We Are Who We Are. Fraser would love this life for ever, certainly more than that of an army-brat with parental issues. He wears stupid clothes, bats violently back at his mother for cutting a slice of meat too fat, loves grim music, finds peace on an Italian street in Chioggia when he finally takes out his annoying-bastard hanging earphones and listens to two sewing machines. Into this dichotomy wanders Fraser, son of the new army base commander, Sarah, and her wife, Maggie. Whereas the US military chooses to place everything, cheeses and courgettes and beer, in the same place, globally, like McDonald’s, thereby allowing planned theft of beer. Italian markets: wayward and hot, shambolic, flyblown, eternal. I was also much taken by the setting for new HBO drama We Are Who We Are, an American base in Italy, in which the military “market” serves to delineate the differences between the host country and the guest. The witnesses in this documentary – the forlorn, the rich, the weak, the appealingly mad – do. The mystery has influenced crime fiction and filmic drama, from Twin Peaks (along with the Oregon/Washington setting, DB Cooper was also the name of course of Kyle MacLachlan’s lead agent) to Heat, but that doesn’t make it an American story. I was left with two thoughts: evidence, without any additional motive or context, is not as it says and all Americans want to be, briefly, acknowledged for their life, preferably on screen. The exemplary folk behind this film tracked down a few rational suspects’ relatives, and these good people argued over how their claims to know Cooper’s true identity stood up. DB Cooper was, according to your preference, a crook, or a lunatic, dead, or the last American hero: conspiracy theories now have him as a trans man, an OCD Vietnam veteran and a needy divorcee. It told us, firstly, how much Americans love, just love, conspiracy theories, and are ever willing to beat down those local radio station doors in order to say so. For the product design staff: the stainless bolts are appropriate, just make the threaded-hole parts of bronze instead of aluminum.The Hijacker Who Vanished ultimately told us much more about America than it did about the culprit, one alleged “DB Cooper”, who parachuted into the night over frozen mountainous Oregon and has never been found. You might try anti-seize on the threads, but my experience repairing machinery was that eventually SS bolts in aluminum holes will corrode and lock up. It is not something you can count on adjusting later, definitely not on the water. If you have this product, do your adjusting early in the boat's life, and then leave it alone forever. I was able to break off and replace the locking bolts (with SS nuts this time), but the jack screw & collar are specialty items. That would be fine if I didn't want to adjust the jack plate ever again, but I want to run shallow in grass flats. The problem is that the jack screw and most of the locking bolts are stainless steel going into aluminum threaded holes, which is a recipe for corrosion. It works fine for set-back and for height-tuning a new rig, but it does not function for later jacking, such as for shallow water. ![]() I have an old pro hi-jacker, and it looks like they are still made exactly the same. ![]()
