Pro Tip: If you watch it on a browser with an ad blocker, you can watch the on demand stuff without ads though you’ll probably have to hook up a computer to your TV. You can even download their movies if you have the right extension for your browser.

I always find stuff like this and unaired pilots fascinating. It’s interesting to see what worked and what didn’t and if there was any way to fix what didn’t work. 

I’m not really worried about Sony buying Alamo from an anti-trust point of view. They only have 36 theaters so it’s not Sony can wield their might and not show their movies elsewhere or only show Sony movies at their theater. If Disney bought AMC, that would be a bigger anti-trust problem since AMC is a much bigger…

The Watchers only made $7M in its opening weekend so I guess you could say that nobody watches The Watchers. 

Gizmodo and AV Club are now owned by different companies so we’ll see how long they’re still on the Kinja platform. The Takeout was sold to Static Media at the same time as AV Club and they switched to the platform their other sites use about a month or so ago. I believe the other sites that were sold like Deadspin,…

Kotaku lost their comment section a month or so ago. Jalopnik is now the only G/O site that has comments which is crazy to think about. I’m sure the other sites including Jalopnik are on the selling block as well. 

AV Club is still on Kinja even though it was sold a few months ago, but The Takeout changed platforms a few weeks ago and is a shell of what it once was. 

They’re trying this with mosquito populations in Florida. I can’t foresee any problems that this can cause. 

Nintendo really dove head first into the ports, remakes and remasters for the Switch. Its biggest selling game, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, was a ported WiiU game. 

I wonder what Nintendo has for the rest of the year. If I had to guess, we will see the WiiU Wind Waker and Twilight Princess remakes released on the Switch. 

Shame that the Beach Boys documentary isn’t more than a puff piece. Brian Wilson isn’t in the best of health right now so who knows how long he will be around to tell his story. 

Portland is only a two hour drive to Astoria so she should visit the Goon Docks while she’s in town! 

TIL that Cyndi’s version is a cover!

I don’t think second run and drive-in theaters are making a comeback. So many have closed or converted to first run theaters. Multiplexes, digital projection and short windows between when films are released theatrically and in homes have lessened the demand for second run theaters. The closest second run theater by…

So you’re saying that there a lot of movies better than Ezra?

To be fair, I don’t think spicy food is as mainstream in Australia as it is in America. 

I always get her and Morena Baccarin confused. 

My first car was an 88 LeSabre with the 3800!

I’m surprised that an ‘89 Buick still used a carburetor and not fuel injection. I could see an econobox from this model year still using a carb, not a mid range car. 

Now that Starcruiser is closed, I wonder if Disney will try to shoehorn the Halcyon into other Star Wars media. Disney put a lot of effort into the worldbuilding of the Halcyon including its own comic series. They even made it into the place where Han and Leia had their honeymoon.
