- Demolition Man is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Marco Brambilla in his directorial debut. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, and Nigel Hawthorne. Stallone is John Spartan, a risk-taking police officer who has a reputation for causing destruction while carrying out his work. After a failed attempt to rescue hostages from evil crime lord Simon Phoenix (Snipes), they are both sentenced to be cryogenically frozen in 1996. Phoenix is thawed for a parole hearing in 2032, but escapes. Society has changed and all violent crime has seemingly been eliminated. Unable to deal with a criminal as dangerous as Phoenix, the authorities awaken Spartan to help capture him again. The story makes allusions to many other works including Aldous Huxley’s 1932 dystopian novel Brave New World and H. G. Wells’s The Sleeper Awakes.
- Cattle Point (wa100.dnr.wa.gov)
Much of the land around Cattle Point, located at the southeastern tip of San Juan Island, is publicly accessible. This is a great place for visitors to get a taste of what the San Juan Islands have to offer. When traveling to Cattle Point across the grassy southern flank of Mount Finlayson, be on the lookout for foxes chasing rabbits back to their burrows. Enjoy views of the Olympic Mountains as you gaze south across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Make a stop at Cattle Point lighthouse and check the skies for bald eagles soaring in search of tasty salmon. Continue down the road or beach to the Cattle Point Interpretive Area to learn more about life on this part of the island. While inspecting the glacially scoured bedrock exposed along the beaches, look for whales and porpoises playing in the currents, and seals napping on Goose Island.
