In a twist from the hoary 90s plot, an evil gentrifying developer will be trying to tear down the mall to replace it with yoga studios and coffee shops and the crew will have to win a contest to raise money to stop him.

It could be an outdoor mall, as long as there are escalators.

I liked Mallrats (the only Smith film I've liked), but I don't think the sequel would be any good. I hope they don't bring back Clare Forlani and Jeremy London. Maybe they've become better actors in the last 20 years but o man, were they both abysmal. Stan Lee was pretty terrible too, making the worst of his two…

He he. "Ball scene."

There is something wrong if you are more disturbed by violence against dogs than violence against humans.

That brings back memories of debugging. Perfect name for the last in the series.

They could be Russian pilots who are "volunteers" and are just fighting on their vacations, without any knowledge of the Russian govt.

The French! The pacifists who will sell weapons to anyone.

I don't know. Maybe we should stop making fun of men for shortness, something they were born with (or, at least, could do little about). It's like skin color.

I've been there, but only as an adult, so it wasn't that impressive. The strip mall that houses may have been nice at one time, but is pretty decrepit now. The food was mediocre. I saw a magic show. There were a bunch of cute girls there dressed up for some formal event. That's the part I remember. The place was…

Yeah, I'm sure there's some moral shoehorned in there at the end of all the gun porn. Got to have it both ways!

It used to be, he didn't have to use an AK, it was a good day. Now it's a good day when the sees the S&P is up half a percent.

I thought I'd heard some story about Penn dating Charlize (??), and she convinced him guns were bad and he melted down his collection of firearms to make a statue of peace of something.

What about La Isla Bonita? That one also shows her ability to morph into different genres.

Calvin "Dogg" Coolidge is about to make some bodies turn cold.

I loved this book and its libertarian stance when I was younger. I tried to reread it recently and didn't finish. It's not a great piece of writing.

Saying that "Childhood's End" is an Asimov novel is just a trick to get me to protest most nerdingly. I'll not fall for it.

This is a great description of that film. The mean people were mean for no good reason. When the villainous characters are so unrealistic, I'm not going to be emotionally invested at all.

His vision is also blurred by the Cataract of the Tiger.

I think if mine ever goes—I've had luck so far—I might find that my head doesn't look good barren. I think I'd be like Marc Andreesen, the formerly-handsome darling of the dot-com era, now pointy-headed. He has renown, a massive fortune, and a beautiful wife, though, so my sympathy is limited.
