But First, This is Today’s Enigma

When news reports change, it’s essential to report those changes.

This is one of those moments.

The supposed breaktrough in the mysterious disappearance (well, reappearance) of Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan was the focus of a recent blog post on Jimmy’s Daily Planet. So, when this new revelation concerning the content of the aforementioned blog was revealed TODAY today, I wanted to make sure to update this developing story with the most current and accurate version.

Interestingly, the identification question in this photograph as to whether Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan are two figures among a group of people featured in the now famous picture, isn’t being totally refuted. It really looks like them. Until the Japanese blogger recently pointed out the critically important publishing date, the facial and body recognition seemed like the biggest hurdle in this 80-year mystery.

Instead, another giant hurdle of mystery has been put in its place.

For now, it appears the world has returned to not knowing the official whereabouts of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan after their plane went missing during their attempted flight around the world back in early July of 1937. All that can be done now is to wait for The History Channel’s expanded response to the claim made by the Japanese blogger and to continue to search for clues and answers.

Think about this turn of events:

A blogger potentially provided history-altering insight.

Maybe more people will recognize that there really is something to this whole “blogging” thing after all…

The Evidence Was Sitting Right There

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many words is the photo in the video below worth?

To many, the photograph’s value at the center of the following video is of historic value.

It may be safe to presume that this ground-breaking discovery, and subsequent documentary this weekend, will be an equal substitute to coffee this morning. The jolt that the photo presents in the video above, which is the focus of the newest speculation regarding Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan’s famously mysterious disappearance, could very well be enough to change history and give credence to stories that were, until now, just considered rumors.

While not 100% proof (how often is there ever 100% proof?), anyone with common sense will and should reach the conclusion that Amelia Earhart is sitting on the edge of the dock with her back to the camera in the aforementioned photograph with Fred Noonan nearby in Japanese territory.

Absolutely surreal.

Stay tuned for the full documentary premiering on the History Channel this Sunday at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Doesn’t this incredible revelation concerning Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan seem like the springboard for a future film by either Steven Spielberg, Kathryn Bigelow or Clint Eastwood? This recent photographic discovery and analysis is likely not the end of Amelia Earhart’s harrowing story, but instead just the beginning.

In this case, history isn’t so much repeating itself as providing the world the first reputable replay of a tragically mysterious event.

And that’s priceless.

All Aboard & No One Ignored

The whole “murder thing” aside, the Orient Express looks like the quality of train Sheldon Cooper would enjoy.

Murder on the Orient Express will hit movie theaters this November.

The vibe of this film is a fun, yet sinister murder mystery with as many twists-and-turns as a train is structurally able to endure. And the star-studded cast (Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley, Kenneth Branagh, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench, Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Leslie Odom Jr. and Josh Gad) has the potential to elevate a standard whodunit to a clever and surprising edge of your seat cinematic puzzle.

One guarantee for Murder on the Orient Express:

This film will be a character-driven thrill ride.

So, This is Where the Budweiser Frogs Have Been Hiding…

You’ve heard the expression, “You’re the life of the party.”

Ladies and gentlemen, there’s one thing that will guarantee you will be “the life of the party” this weekend. The only catch is you’ll have to channel the supernatural powers of America’s favorite street magician David Blaine who can unbelievably demonstrate that not all aquariums fit on a table.

Plus the quick hands to catch, well, you’ll see. And Dave Chappelle, Steph Curry and Drake saw what I’m hinting at very, very close-up.

Yeah, I’d hop to the other side of the room too.
