McDonald's Restaurants by Magnitude of Mountain Backdrop / Rut
by u/Gigitoe
Eating a Big Mac® while gazing at Big Mountains is an experience that millions of Americans can relate to. But little do we ask ourselves, which McDonald's restaurants have the biggest, baddest mountain backdrop?
So I set out to answer this question, using rut, a topographic metric that does particularly well at identifying cities with badass mountain backdrops. (For more info, check out this Mercury News article by John Metcalfe, or my research paper)
Roughly speaking, this is how rut works:
The higher the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.
The more steeply the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.
Here's a tier list that shows the rut of the ruttiest McDonald's restaurant in various cities. The cutoffs are rather arbitrary, so please don't poison me with a Grimace Shake if your city doesn't get the tier you like :)
S tier - rut > 400 m (i'm lovin' it. would visit just for mountain views)
Palm Springs, CA (647 m) | Weed, CA (624 m) | Springville, UT (609 m) | Lone Pine, CA (521 m) | Rancho Cucamonga, CA (503 m) | Kailua Kona, HI (432 m) | Salt Lake City, UT (404 m)
A tier - rut between 200 to 400 m (impressive, but probably wouldn't visit just for mountain views)
Colorado Springs, CO (383 m) | Gatlinburg, TN (273 m) | Tacoma, WA (267 m) | Tucson, AZ (246 m) | Juneau, AK (223 m) | Tucson, AZ (209 m) | Albuquerque, NM (215 m) | Las Vegas, NV (209 m)
B tier - rut between 100 and 200 m (mountains nearby, or distant big mountains, or very distant huge mountains)
Anchorage, AK (192 m) | Seattle, WA (185 m) | Manchester, VT (166 m) | El Paso, TX (160 m) | Los Angeles, CA (153 m) | Portland, OR (144 m) | Denver, CO (126 m) | Boise, ID (106 m)
C tier - rut between 50 and 100 m (big hills nearby, or distant mountains, or very distant big mountains)
Rutland, VT (99 m) | San Diego, CA (84 m) | Asheville, NC (75 m) | Middlesboro, KY (70 m) | Phoenix, AZ (67 m) | Roanoke, VA (46 m)
D tier - rut between 25 and 50 m (hills nearby, or distant big hills, or very distant mountains)
Billings, MT (40 m) | Rapid City, SD (37 m) | Dalton, GA (38 m) | Hot Springs, AR (37 m) | Pittsburgh, PA (33 m) | San Francisco, CA (30 m) | Portsmouth, OH (26 m) | Greenville, SC (26 m) | Huntsville, AL (25 m)
E tier - rut between 10 and 25 m (small hills nearby, or hills in the distance, or very distant big hills)
Syracuse, NY (21 m) | Concord, NH (20 m) | Duluth, MN (20 m) | New Haven, CT (14 m) | Cincinnati, OH (13 m) | Wausau, WI (13 m) | Portland, ME (10 m)
F tier - rut between 0 and 10 m (flatter than a patty)
Nashville, TN (8.5 m) | New York City (4.3 m) | Kansas City (2.8 m) | Miami, FL (1.7 m) | Houston (1.6 m), TX | Chicago, IL (0.6 m)
For more locations, here's a spreadsheet with the rut of every McDonald's on this map.
----------------
Note: a rut of X doesn't mean the surrounding mountains rise a height of X above the restaurant. Instead, a rut of X means that a restaurant's mountain backdrop is as impressive as a restaurant at the base of a vertical cliff of height X. The less steeply the surrounding mountains rise above the restaurant, the lower the rut.
Also note: rut only considers rise above surroundings (relative height differences and angle of elevation). it does not consider absolute elevation, nor the "aesthetics" of a mountain, nor visibility (or lack thereof) due to weather or smog.
Attributions: Gavin Rehkemper (locations), FABDEM (elevation model), Google Earth Engine (calculations), ESRI (basemap), Kai Xu (rut metric and map)
If you like rut, you'll probably like its older brother jut even more. Jut measures how impressive, spectacular, or badass a mountain is—considering both its height above surroundings and steepness. If you want to find the most impressive mountains near you or worldwide, you may find the link above to be useful.
Let us know if you have any questions or comments—I'm happy to address them!

ASK EDDIE returns Thursday, June 22, 7:00 PM PT to our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/filmnoirfoundation/live
FNF prez Eddie Muller responds to film noir fan questions fielded by the Foundation's Director of Communications Anne Hockens In this episode, we discuss LGBTQ+ characters in noir, the best noir cinematographers, “Executive Action”, author John D. MacDonald, circumventing the Hays Code, and more. Plus, we settle a debate regarding the portrayal of women in noir for a viewer. We wind up with a discussion of our fantasy casting for noir brothers and noir sisters. Stay tuned to the end for a special furry guest star.
Want your question answered in a future episode? We solicit questions from our email subscribers in our monthly newsletters. Sign up for free at https://www.filmnoirfoundation.org/signup.html
Everyone who signs up on our email list and contributes $20 or more to the Film Noir Foundation receives the digital version of NOIR CITY Magazine for a year. Donate here: https://www.filmnoirfoundation.org/contribute.html
Can’t join us on Thursday? No problem! A recording will be up on our YouTube channel, @NoirCity, on Friday, April 7: https://www.youtube.com/user/NoirCitySF
Note: Eddie will not be able to answer questions posted during the livestream nor ones left on our social media accounts
This week’s questions:
1. I’d enjoy hearing from both of you about LGBTQ+ characters in Noir.
Marjorie (from the poor part of Connecticut)
2. Are there any Film Noir Foundation restorations in the Flicker Alley pipeline this year?
Michael, Post Falls, Idaho
3. Have you ever considered The Orpheum Theater in Phoenix, Arizona for a NOIR CITY showing? Also, are there any great film noirs from the golden age that are not readily available?
Vince from Arizona
4. In a recent ASK EDDIE, you said that "The 13th Letter” is unavailable for showings because of rights issues, Are there any other noirs that similarly cannot be shown because of rights issues?
Bill Miller, Chicago
5. Who do you consider the best cinematographer of the classic film era?
Harry, West Chester, PA
6. I recently engaged in a debate with someone about the concept of film. I wanted to get your perspective. The other person posits that the femme fatale trope was a sexist derivative of men's postwar angst of women taking their jobs and workplace. I argued that men and women in noir are oftentimes equally culpable, equally shrewd and equally guilty in their indiscretions. What are your thoughts on these arguments?
Andrew, Clayton, North Carolina
7. TCM showed “Not As A Stranger” and I thoroughly enjoyed it. IMDB says that movie is a Film Noir. I can’t see it. What do you think?
Stephen, Allen, Texas
8. I recently saw the Italian neorealist film “Bitter Rice”, which has many film noir characteristics. Can you recommend other neorealist films that might also be regarded as film noir?
Ron
9. It's hard to think of a movie more detested, shunned and now ignored than "Executive Action," a 1973 political drama, directed by David Miller and written by Dalton Trumbo, that blames the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on a right-wing capitalist conspiracy. I'd welcome any comments you have about "Executive Action."
Paul from "Fargo" land
10. I recently watched “Journey into Light” (1951) starring Sterling Hayden and found it surprisingly emotionally moving. Are there any film noir movies that you find especially moving? Also, do you consider this movie a "religious noir"?
Dan
11. One great American crime writer you've never mentioned is John D. Macdonald, the creator of Travis McGee. Macdonald considered Victor Nunez's 1984 adaptation of his novel “A Flash of Green” to be the best film version of his work. What do the two of you think of Macdonald's work? And have either of you ever seen “A Flash of Green”?
Doug, Silver Spring, MD
12. One of the many pleasures of viewing classic films noir is spotting the various ways in which the filmmakers circumvent the Hays Code and express graphic violence, et cetera, despite the limitations forced upon them, with clever filmmaking techniques. Can you think of any other good examples of this sort of Hays Code circumvention, in which a film is able to express graphic content without explicitly showing it?
Sam from Iowa
13. Where is it that you tape introductions for NOIR ALLEY? Are you given a blooper reel each year? Have you ever finished it in one single take. Do you have a favorite hotel you stay at when in L.A. or do you not stay at same place each visit?
Alan, San Anselmo, CA.
14. I came across an excellent book called “San Francisco Noir” which shows real locations from SF movies and proves interesting anecdotes about the locations and the films themselves. At the end of the book is a description of the Danger and Despair Knitting Circle, which sounds like an elite private showing of various noirs. Does this still exist, and do you have stories about this group?
Phil from Boston
15. My question addresses some fantasy casting as well as historic casting. Who would both of you cast as Noir Brothers and Noir Sisters. What would be the best combustible pairs?
William from Lafayette

ROAD HOUSE de Doug Liman: La Ballade de Dalton
Ce remake plus ou moins fidèle du film culte de 1989 recycle certains éléments du scénario original dans un contexte assez différent. Mais les grandes lignes sont là : Dalton, un type ayant la réputation de savoir se servir de ses poings, est recruté pour venir faire le ménage dans un bar routier envahi par la racaille; il développe une relation avec une infirmière du coin; un malveillant homme riche contrôle presque tout dans les environs.
Le Road House de 2024 diffère notamment de son inspiration par le fait que Elwood Dalton (plutôt que James Dalton) est un ancien combattant de UFC déchu, qui mène une existence de vagabond vivant dans sa voiture lorsqu’on le rencontre, et que le bar routier qui l’engage se trouve dans les Keys de Floride plutôt qu’au Missouri.
Là où le bât blesse, c’est que notre protagoniste est incarné par un Jake Gyllenhaal correct, mais loin d’être aussi iconique et badass que Patrick Swayze. De même, le méchant joué par Billy Magnussen n’arrive pas à la cheville du parfaitement détestable Ben Gazzara. Et les créateurs de cette nouvelle version n’ont même pas tenté de remplacer le vieux pote interprété par Sam Elliott! Mentionnons également qu’au lieu du Jeff Healey Band, on doit se contenter d’une succession de groupes anonymes jouant au bar alors que les bouteilles de bière volent de toute part.
Bref, il s’agit indéniablement d’une pâle copie du long-métrage de Rowdy Herrington, qui n’est toutefois pas sans qualités. Malgré trop de longueurs, le remake inclut quand même plusieurs scènes d’action assez percutantes. Et à la mi-parcours, l’introduction du coloré psychopathe Knox, un rôle défendu avec enthousiasme par le véritable champion d’arts martiaux mixtes Conor McGregor, dynamise considérablement le récit. Il y a aussi une trame narrative intéressante impliquant une jeune fille (Hannah Love Lanier) travaillant dans une librairie qui compare la situation dans laquelle se retrouve Dalton à un roman western, ce qui n’est pas sans rappeler une certaine scène de Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
En janvier, le réalisateur Doug Liman a annoncé qu’il boycotterait la première de Road House (2024) à SXSW à cause de la décision d’Amazon MGM de lancer son film directement sur la plateforme Prime Video. Ironiquement, alors qu’il aurait été difficile de recommander d’aller le voir en salle, c’est le genre de vue qui mérite quand même qu’on lui jette un coup d’œil dans le confort de chez soi, sans trop d’attentes.
Road House sera disponible sur Prime Video dès le jeudi 21 mars.

writing patterns meme!
ty to @microcomets for tagging me!! (this is a fun meme)
rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
Neo is in the shower and Khaotung is waiting his turn, lying on Neo’s bed, still naked, scrolling through First’s Instagram. (Feeling the Rain before the Thunder, GMMTV RPF, First/Khaotung)
It's the first week of University and Boston is already tired of these orientation activities for First Years. Most of Boston’s classmates went abroad for school and Boston is waiting his turn. It’s just four years. He just has to make it four years. (the space you desecrate as you pass through, Only Friends, Ray & Boston, Boston & Mew)
When Prem asks him for a hug to refill his energy, Ten can’t help but follow it up with a kiss. Where's Your Home Tonight (Cooking Crush, Ten/Prem)
Shin visits Miw and Neo as often as he can. Which with Bangkok traffic is about once a week, maybe once every other week. It’s not enough. (Sugar on my street, 3 Will Be Free, Miw/Shin/Neo)
Kawi is sure he’s got it this time. (wordless kind of offer, Kawi/Pisaeng)
“I don’t want you growing up soft,” Pa says, the first time he makes Chopper watch his men make an example of someone who stole from them. The finger slices easy at the knuckle and the man doesn’t start screaming until a couple of seconds after it’s done. (king of the castle, Never Let Me Go, Ben/Chopper)
Ray wouldn’t say she passed out. (dig low to get round to it, Only Friends, Ray/Sand f/f)
The hardest part of the soulbond, they say, is the first couple of days after. (Cross the Rivers of My Mind, GMMTV RPF, Off/Gun)
Force is playing a mostly freeform game of soccer with friends after school. Some idiot kicks the ball way out of bounds and Force chases after it, ducking around the big tiered seats that they never let them sit on during assemblies. The ball is beneath them and Force goes for it, grabbing it with both hands. Which is when he sees Book, who’s sitting curled up with his knees tucked up to his chin. He’s shaking a little and the sight stops Force in his tracks. (won't you come around to the spot where we met, GMMTV RPF, Force/Book)
As soon as Off says it, he knows he’s fucked up. (A Secret Kind of Language, GMMTV RPF, Off/Gun/Tay)
I guess the first thing I learned from this is that in my 10 most recent fics there are no pairing repeats which feels very true to me lol.
And then I think scene setting? First line establishes the POV and the scenario and the timeline. the 3wbf fic is post-canon so I set up Shin POV and that they're all already together but separated. I do want to work on developing more grippy or hooky first lines I think in general my prose is not that pretty. A real banger first line. "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit" of a first line. A "There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it." of a first line. A "why is the measure of love loss" type of a deal.

Le chouchou
C'est intéressant de voir que William et Jack, plutôt tolérants, en général, de la bêtise d'Averell et si prompts à le protéger de la vengeance de Joe, sont les plus affectés par la nette préférence de Ma pour le "petit dernier".
Du coup, Ma Dalton est un des rares albums Dalton où leur perte n'a pas été provoquée par Joe ou Averell mais par William et Jack.

Elles ont presque toutes fait succomber l’agent 007 car ce sont des femmes au physique avenant et sont souvent des espionnes ou des victimes rencontrées par James Bond au cours de ses missions. Elles tissent généralement un lien rapide avec l’espion et entretiennent une relation amoureuse presque à chaque fois avec lui. Bien que pour l’instant il n’y a eu que six acteurs ayant le rôle de James Bond, les actrices interprétant les James Bond Girls sont quant à elles plus nombreuses.
Ursula Andress
Dans James Bond 007 contre Dr No en 1962: C’est la première James Bond Girl de l’histoire connue pour sa scène où elle sort de l’eau en maillot de bain. Devant le succès du passage, la scène sera reprise dans « Meurs un autre jour » en 2002.
Daniela Bianchi
Dans Bons baisers de Russie 1963 : Cette actrice blessée au cours du tournage a bien failli perdre son rôle.
Honor Blackman
Dans Goldfinger en 1964.
Claudine Auger
Dans Opération Tonnerre en 1965 : c’est la première française à interpréter le rôle d’une James Bond Girl. Elle a également été Miss France et Miss Monde en 1965.
On ne vit que 2 fois en 1967
Diana Rigg
dans Au service secret de sa majesté : ce James Bond reste l’un des plus célèbres.Jill St John dans Les diamants sont éternels.Jane Seymour dans Vivre et laisser mourir : C’est désormais Roger Moore qui interprétera le rôle de James Bond. Britt Ekland dans L’homme au pistolet d’or.Barbara Bach dans L’espion qui m’aimait.Carole Bouquet dans Rien que pour vos yeux : Cette actrice était l’égérie de Chanel et a obtenu le César de la meilleure actrice. C’est également la deuxième française à interpréter ce rôle. Kim Basinger dans Jamais plus jamaisGrace Jones dans Dangereusement vôtre : elle a été la dernière partenaire de Roger Moore avant qu’il ne quitte le rôle de James Bond. Maryam d’Abo dans Tuer n’est pas jouer : première partenaire du nouveau James Bond Timothy Dalton. Carey Lowell dans Permis de tuer.Famke Janssen dans GoldenEye : célèbre actrice jouant aussi dans X-Men et Taken. Michele Yeoh dans Demain ne meurt jamais : elle est aussi surnommée la « Jackie Chan au féminin ».Sophie Marceau dans Le monde ne suffit pas : actrice française incontournable révélée à l’âge de 14 ans dans le film « La Boum ».Halle Berry dans Meurs un autre jour Eva Green dans Casino Royal.Olga Kurylenko dans Quantum of Solace.Bérénice Marlohe dans Skyfall.Léa Seydoux et Monica Bellucci dans 007 Spectre : dans cet opus, deux femmes essaieront de séduire James Bond.

There was a time when folks on the left were brilliant and learned, and debate required folks on the right to work hard to match wits with them. That was the 60's-early 80's. Now the left resembles the day room in a 19th Century institution for the feeble-minded. So let's deconstruct the latest meanderings from another skull tragically filled with mush. Pay attention liberal kids. School is now in session at Casa Nadal, and your teacher has taken some time to put together this liberating list of facts.
1. In 1803 John Dalton called the smallest particles of matter, "atoms." Though he did this slightly after the U.S. Constitution was written, the writers of that document were classically schooled in Greek and Latin. They knew well what Dalton knew:
It was the Greeks 2,000 years earlier who reasoned that one could only divide matter for a finite number of divisions until one reached that which could no longer be divided. They called these fundamental units of matter, "atomos." ATOMS!
2. Medicine based on the Four Humors (Blood, Phlegm, Black Bile, Yellow Bile). The ancient Greeks believed health resulted from these four fluids being in balance. The view dominated Western medicine until 1628, when the great anatomist and physician, William Harvey, began to change the thinking. He was preceded in the 1500's by the Swiss physician and alchemist, Paracelsus (Theophrastus von Hohenheim), who developed the idea that various combinations of herbs and minerals had therapeutic effects.
In 1729, Irish immigrant, Christopher Marshall, opened one of the first apothecaries (pharmacies) in the colonies, setting up in Philadelphia, PA.
In 1752 The Philadelphia Hospital opened the first hospital pharmacy.
In 1799 Scottish physician, John Ferriar, discovered the heart medicine, digitalis. He applied its use in cases of dropsy (severe congestive heart failure). While blood letting was still a thing in western medicine, it was one of the last vestiges of humoral medicine as the preceding 250 years had begun to revolutionize medical practice with detailed study of anatomy and the emerging field of pharmaceutical science.
3. A well-trained soldier could fire five rounds per minute (not four) from a musket, which had to be muzzle-loaded. It is interesting that the same people who decry semi-automatic weapons in the 21st Century and appeal to the muzzle-loading muskets of the Founders as having been sufficient for them, should then ridicule that same 18th Century technology as symbolic of primitiveness, but I digress...
4. In 1677 Robert Plot is credited with discovering the first dinosauer bone, but thought it belonged to a giant human. It wouldn't be until 1824 that the Oxford geologist, William Buckland, would discover bones from the same creature as Robert Plot, and name it, Megalosaurus (Great Lizard). So, nobody knew at the time of our founding that dinosaurs existed.
What exactly the knowledge of dinosaurs has to do with systems of government seems to be an issue only in liberal minds.
5. Women were NEVER considered property by the Founders, and indeed the status of women was markedly different between unmarried and married women under Common Law. If the meme's author studied their AP US History in High School, they would have known this. So here's a bit from the AP US History study materials:
https://ap.gilderlehrman.org/essay/legal-status-women-1776–1830
6. Only a dimwit would have written this about lightbulbs. Benjamin Franklin was not only a Founding Father of the United States, he was also one of the Founding Fathers in the field of Electrical Science, and was world renowned in his lifetime for it.
He designed an electric battery and coined that very term.
He also coined the terms, "positive charge" and "negative charge."
He did experiments with Leyden Jars, used to store electricity, and discovered that electricity was stored in the material in the jars, and not in the water surrounding those materials. He also discovered that the amount of energy stored depended on the materials the jars were made of.
He discovered that electricity was not generated by rubbing two objects together, but was transferred from one object to the other. He thus contributed the Principle of Conservation of Electrical Charge, and used the terms "charging" and "discharging" to describe the transfer of electrical charge between two bodies.
Based on his kite experiment, Franklin invented the lightning rod.
Had the Founding Fathers been shown a lightbulb they would have grasped almost immediately the principle by which it works, as parlor demonstrations of electricity were around since the early 1700's, and only grew in complexity and wonder because of Franklin's discoveries.
Far from being unenlightened rustics, the Founding Fathers distilled 250 years of Enlightenment Philosophy into these few lines that set off revolutions around the world:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Then, knowing the imperfections of the system they set in place, they built in the machinery for future generations to amend the Constitution.
They lived in the age of modern Medicine's beginnings, Chemistry's beginnings, Physics' beginnings, Pharmaceutical Science's beginnings, Paleontology's beginnings, among others. They revolutionized the world as much as the world's intellectual revolutions shaped them.
The nation they founded would rise up to lead the world in the industrial revolution, and most of the scientific and technological revolution of the latter 20th Century.
If the preamble to the Declaration of Independence is the distillation of 250 years of Enlightenment philosophy into just a few lines, this meme is the distillation of ignorance of the life, times, and contributions of the Founding Fathers, and the 246 subsequent years of the American experience into even fewer words.
