Drop Dead Fred
Starring Phoebe Cates
Release date(s) April 19, 1991 (USA)
Drop Dead Fred is a 1991 American fantasy drama comedy film directed by Ate de Jong, produced by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment and Working Title Films and released and distributed by New Line Cinema. Although touted as a light-hearted children's film, there are notable adult themes and gags, with elements of black comedy, bizarre visual and make up effects, gross out humor, and some profanity.
British comedian Rik Mayall stars as the title character, a happy, anarchic and extremely mischievous imaginary friend of a young girl named Elizabeth (Phoebe Cates) and arch nemesis of her fussy and overbearing mother Polly (Marsha Mason) whom he refers to as the "mega bitch." Drop Dead Fred causes absolute chaos around the home and neighbourhood. Nobody can see Fred except Elizabeth. When Elizabeth grows up and has a mid-life crisis, Fred returns to "cheer her up" in his own unique way, causing more chaos than ever before.
In addition to the studio scenes, on-scene filming took place at many locations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. These include the Gaviidae Common on Nicollet Mall, Lowry Hill and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; Harriet Island, and the Wells Fargo Tower in St. Paul; and Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minnesota; and the Met Center in Bloomington.

I-35W Mississippi River bridge
The I-35W Mississippi River bridge (officially known simply as Bridge 9340) was an eight-lane steel truss arch bridge that carried Interstate 35W across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The bridge was completed in 1967, and its maintenance was performed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The bridge was Minnesota's fifth–busiest, carrying 140,000 vehicles daily.
The bridge catastrophically failed during the evening rush hour on August 1, 2007, collapsing to the river and riverbanks beneath. Thirteen people were killed and 145 were injured.
At 6:05 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, August 1, 2007, with rush hour bridge traffic moving slowly through the limited number of lanes, the central span of the bridge suddenly gave way, followed by the adjoining spans. The structure and deck collapsed into the river and onto the riverbanks below, the south part toppling 81 feet (25 m) eastward in the process. Approximately 100 vehicles were involved, sending their occupants and 18 construction workers up to 115 feet (35 m) down to the river or onto its banks. Northern sections fell into a rail yard, landing on three unoccupied and stationary freight train cars.
Sequential images of the collapse were taken by an outdoor security camera located at the parking lot entrance of the control facility for the Lower Saint Anthony Falls Lock and Dam. The immediate aftermath of the collapse was also captured by a Mn/DOT traffic camera that was facing away from the bridge during the collapse itself.

In April 2009, it was revealed that Universal had acquired the rights to Drop Dead Fred and are working on a remake of the movie, with British comedian Russell Brand playing the title role. The film's producers are Marc E. Platt of Marc Platt Productions, Carlos Davis, Anthony Fingleton and Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films, the company that produced the original film. The remake is planned to be of a darker tone to that of the original movie, and somewhat similar in nature to Beetlejuice. The screenplay is written by Carlos Davis and Anthony Fingleton, the original writers with additional revisions from Dennis McNicholas, one of the writers of Universal's recent Land of the Lost. News of the remake was released to the public by Brand on his Twitter account when he posted the message "Drop Dead Fred — true."

Episode No. Season 4, Episode 20
US airdate March 20, 2009
Galactica and a crew of volunteers undertake one last mission against the Cylons led by John Cavil, while destinies are fulfilled.
Adama orders Kara Thrace to make a blind jump, but Thrace thinks about the music her father played, the music that Hera wrote to her. Recalling the mathematical associations she tried to discern from the music, Thrace realizes the music works as a series of FTL coordinates.
She punches in the coordinates into the navigation computer and jumps the ship.
Saul notes that while vital systems are still online, Galactica's structural members--its back--are broken. The ship will never jump again. Wherever they are, they're stuck.
"Where have you taken us, Kara?" Roslin asks, as the scene changes to an exterior shot to show the battlestar flying over a gray, rocky moon.
But is not just a moon...Galactica has arrived at the moon of Earth...another Earth, this one with the continent of Africa in prominent view.
The coordinates that Thrace enters, 1123 / 6536 / 5321
12980 = 1123 + 6536 + 5321
