Like one of those mega-yachts seized from the Russian oligarchs!

From the looks of it, the next tropical storm could solve the problem easily.

“If shooting starts, China may be a match for the U.S.”

I didn’t care for the fact that Nicholson is already halfway to crazy town before they ever get to the Overlook.

Completely agree about Jack Torrance. It’s a shame because it’s one of King’s most fully realized (and believably tragic) characters. I’ve grown to appreciate the movie for its other great qualities but for years I couldn’t get past Nicholson’s over-the-top performance.

“By law, the state must be ready within 90 days of the charges, and Chaudry argues that more than 100 have already passed. The judge disagreed, ruling that only 71 days passed.”

That was kind of Stephen King’s objection to casting Nicholson in the film.  He didn’t think it was going to be surprising for the audience to see him go crazy.

Depends on if there are pre payment penalties on the loan or not. If not, then there’s almost no interest paid within the first payment cycle.

I don’t know if this may be true in specific circumstances, but it’s never been true on any car loan I’ve had. I’ve paid off multiple car loans early, and I’ve only ever paid the remaining principle.

That reminds me; CD changers. I had a Kenwood deck with integral controls for a 10-disc changer in the trunk, similar to this.

Am I blind, or did nobody mention pop-up headlights?

i’m just talkin’ ‘bout moth!

“Emails, they scare me. It says, ‘CC,’ and there’s a thousand names. Who are these people?”

The lesser half of his movies are still infinitely more watchable than 90% of what’s out there.
