We miss the movie going experience so damn much that we jumped at the chance when our local Cinemark offered this as a private screening. $150+ tax and your party of up to 20 trusted masked friends & family have the run of the auditorium. No way were we doing a theatre otherwise - too risky.

Funny you mention the ‘demonizing China’ angle. Here in AZ we’ve been seeing ads for McSally where they’re really pushing this whole thing about Mark Kelly being in the pocket of China. Like, to the point of being comical. My husband and I saw that commercial (yeah, we’re old and watch Jeopardy, which is a breeding…

I think the sequels moving away from DTV is attributed to Toy Story. They had a deal with Pixar, which was still independent at the time, for a certain number of projects. When they put together Toy Story 2 they realized it was much greater in scope than DTV could do justice, so it ended up going theatrical. And then…

That’s the one. Just finished a rewatch of the whole series and they said it was $50k for those few seconds of Liz on her couch, wearing a Slanket, cutting up a block of cheese at 2am. I think they even reference it again in season 6 when joking about the cost of music licensing.

When Roddy McDowall bites it, you know no one is safe in that movie!

I too hoped for novelizations - especially for ‘High Life’ because I need to know what happened to Monte and Willow.

Jasper himself, Jackson Rathbone, made this observation:

Had to laugh at this headline because I’ve never purchased an item from Costco’s site, but did last night. Went to the store, walked around and couldn’t find what I needed (why are 3-pack Contigo bottles not available year-round in AZ?!). Yet, lo’ and behold, on the website, $3 off, free shipping.

This is helpful. We’ve been cringing at spending that much on a new garbage can as well.

The iPads at Walmart all keep coming up at full retail. Don’t know if that means they’re out of stock or pulled the deal price.

Don’t forget about actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf!

Also from Oingo Boingo, “No One Lives Forever.”

We still use the arrow connecting ballots and scanners in Arizona. Clear and easy to understand.

I remember seeing that ‘76 poster everywhere when I was a little kid. I finally decided to watch the movie a few weeks ago after catching the beginning on TMC one Friday night (w/the Streisand cut on Netflix)...and boy, do I regret it. I really expected something fantastic (given how great ‘Evergreen’ is) and I was…

The Great British Sewing Bee is FANTASTIC! I would love to see that come over here (along with Patrick!). I love how there’s no side-eye, cutthroat dramatics. Everyone genuinely wants to help their fellow contestants and you learn so much!

An Iron Eagle reference?! Cheers!

I remember making an LJ avatar of the shaking butts from ‘Pop Goes My Heart’ so clearly no judgement here.

My brother just called me today asking what he could do about a ‘delivered’ Amazon package that never showed up. When he told me it had come via USPS I was immediately worried. What a load of crap!

I humbly submit Alien Jeff Goldblum stepping out of the tanning pod in ‘Earth Girls Are Easy’... *swoons*

I’ve been doing roughly Atkins phase 2/3 since June (induction foods but lots of fruit, because if I don’t have ‘sweet’ I tend to break easily). Because I haven’t been so strict, the weight loss is slow (25-ish pounds), but I’ve dropped my A1C THREE WHOLE POINTS since I started. I dropped one of my diabetic meds, and…
