I live in New York. Every winter Flin Flon makes its way onto the northern most part of our abc affiliate’s weather map. And I look for it every morning.

We had a cottage out at bakers narrows from 1972-2014 , Grew up there in the summers and fall , Best fishing and place of beauty !

I remember watching this when I was little; I really wanted that submarine.

@rosecruz1344 3 года назад

when I was younger, I thought the submarine looks like a fish

@dorelle 2 года назад

YES!!!!! I couldn't believe this was about Flin Flon, I was certain it was but it somehow felt like that made no sense. So i looked up NFB submarine n sure enough! Oh man when i was a kid back in like 89 i was enamored with that submarine. So glad to have found it again lol

What they don't tell you: Flin (as he's called in the book) left the "glittering land" because it was run by women.

Interesting. In America we have a state, California, which got its name from a fantasy book. Published in 1510, it told of a mythical island called California, and the Spanish explorers thought that they had found it when the arrived at what is now called Baja California.

Wait. Wasn't Gimli MB named after Gimli from Lord of the Rings? @2:47 lies!

@porterism100 8 лет назад

He said a 'science fiction' hero. LOTR is fantasy. Splitting hairs maybe, but I'll give it to them

@Nicolas.Vincent 8 лет назад

porterism100 Considering this was directed in 1978, & Blade Runner didn't come out until '82, I don't really consider anything pre-Blade Runner to be real science fiction. Sure there were "Robits", but Blade Runner set the standard for everything we know as sci-fi today.

@A2J_Tim 3 месяца назад

only if plan on going senile, lol. There is nothing to do up there unless you really love fishing an freezing your ass off. They have mosquito's almost the size of humming birds. Billions of horse flys and sand fly's and if that isnt enough giant pinching beetles called spruce bugs. You can enjoy summer if you want to be constantly lathered in Bug spray and sun screen, your only reprieve from the constant bombardment of biting insects is winter which is very long very cold and very life threatening especially if you run out of fuel on your sled in the wrong place or fire wood in the middle of the night, Never mind the months of icolation where you dont see any one because your car wont start and nobody ventures out on those -50 degree Celsius months. Go visit it in mid july then mid january and you will get a feel of whether you like it or not.
