12 monkeys 

A Sci fi movie starring Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt where a guy called James Cole travels from 2035 to 1996, but originally got sent to the wrong year (1990) He wanted to travel back to 1996 to see if the 12 monkeys army are responsible for releasing a virus which killed tens and thousands of people. Unfortunately he was very much mistaken. James Cole found the real source of the virus towards the end of the movie which was some scientist guy. He tried shooting him, but unfortunately he got shot by the security at the airport before he got the chance to shoot him. James Cole had dreams of him being at the airport as a young child and that's the exact airport James Cole got shot at. Because he was teleported to the year his dreams were set at, young James Cole witnessed his adult self getting shot.
12 Monkeys is a good movie and relatively easy to understand. It may be a mindful when you first watch it, but it is really easy to understand once you've watched it a couple of times.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
