A development group turned a defunct multiplex in my area into a pickleball facility recently, so you aren’t far off on the options that are out there. 

To deal with it in an authentic way, though, would be opening up a can of worms that Disney and Pixar would clearly rather avoid.

Speaking from a long time Austin-based customer’s perspective, Alamo was a magical place without peer when we moved here 11 years ago, but since then has been gradually going downhill, accelerated, unfortunately, by COVID and Tim League being forced to sell out to private equity. My expectations are low, but hopefully…

In the Dallas area we just lost all Alamos due to a franchisee company going suddenly bankrupt, and talking about that with locals was when I learned one of our two Angelikas had gone belly-up. (The other shows so much mainstream fare now, it’s not really the same anymore.) So, this region has nigh little in the way…

Not seeing anything about a bear attack. She does have lupus, which can make travel difficult. 

Aside from having some cool revivals and arthouse pictures, the Alamo Drafthouse experience was not my scene. During the movie watching hunched over wait staff running around like they’re Alan Alda in MASH under a helicopter blade, delivering food and drinks to people really took me out of the experience.

So - no bear mauling (I am assuming that was a joke), but I too was curious about this - she apparently decided it was time to step away - voluntarily - and this is why they recast. She also stated in interviews that she gives the new actress her best wishes in the role:

I suspect the How To Train Your Dragon remakes will be a real acid test of the point of doing live action versions of animated ones. Since the majority of the characters in the first one are humans, you can maybe make an argument that is how they should have been done, but my feeling is they are going to lose a hell…

I remember hearing there was going to be a sequel to Toy Story and thinking, “Oh, man, don’t mess with that!”

Well, it is ironic considering they also said in a recent interview that they are going to step away from “personal” stories (that don’t sell tickets) in order to focus on more broad mass appeal stories.

Especially since there are some sequels that many consider better than the original, such as Toy Story 2.

Since, by all rights, Good Morning, Miami should be headed into Season 24, this’ll do as a consolation prize for Feurstein fans.

They’re Cinemax’s stiffest competition for “least valuable streaming service .”

Did you not pay attention to the 2010s? It was wall to wall 80s (referred) nostalgia bullshit.

Streaming service and accompanying pay cable network now owned by Amazon, who bought MGM a few years ago. Formerly known as Epix.

So this episode also made me realize that Daniel (in the present) has mentioned his assistant a couple of times now, just enough to make me think she’s going to be significant.

Meanwhile, David Spade is hanging out with Dana Carvey, doing a popular podcast and cashing those residual checks from his multiple hit sitcoms.

He’s Mirror Universe Patch Adams, they bring him in to see the patients who the hospital has decided should give up on life.

Honestly even his “good” movies that people always hold up from the early career sucked as far as I was ever concerned.  I still can’t get over people telling me Big Daddy is good when he’s like invading people’s houses and robbing them, or when it ends with the whole cast shaming and berating a woman for having…

Giuliani has popped up in at least one Sandler film. What was the one with him proposing in the Yankees stadium? Fifty First Dates or was it Mr Deeds? One of those definitely had Giuliani jumping out of the audience urging Sandler to go kiss the girl.
