They should put Rudd in old man makeup and have him use a cane to make him look like he's aged a lot more than 10 years.

As a former CC employee, I can honestly say that that's how we were trained. Know all the details you can, but ultimately, put the customer in the right product for their budget. Upsell if you can, of course (But if you want to spend a little more, you could get *this* feature on your DVD player…), but the main idea…
Yeah, there were a few departments where the markup was so great that your commissions were incredible. I was about 22 years old at the time and bringing in $30,000 without a college degree (this was 1996). Needless to say I spent most of that money using my employee discount (we got everything at store cost), so…
I worked there for a couple of years in the mid-90s, and, yeah, we pulled that shit all the time to get people to buy the warranty (also known as "Cheese", which the company hated). Not only did the company make pretty much 100% profit on the warranty, but we got paid a hefty commission for it, too. And I worked in…
Former employee here: It really was that easy as long as it was an advertised price. If it wasn't advertised, the service manager would call the other store, verify the price and the model number (that was key), and if it was all legit, you got the refund plus 10% of the difference. The big box stores started…
For me it's the static effect that ruins the reveal in The Ring. She feels like less of a tangible threat when she blips in and out like bad reception. But when Sadako physically comes out of that TV, a solid thing crawling after you, that's some terrifying shit right there.
As someone who grew up wandering around in the woods and spent plenty of nights at summer camp pranking our fellow campers by pounding on the sides of each other's tents in the middle of the night, the movie didn't frighten me at all, either. If anything it was nostalgic for me.
I always thought that was the point - that he had written it, he'd gotten it out of his system, but that he realized it was best to just leave the past in the past.
That or slip something onto his person that would be found on a final pat down that would put him back in hot water. I really didn't think Freddy was going to let his unicorn go.
This was making the internet rounds about six weeks ago:
I absolutely think there's a connection. Good call!
That was a reference to what Trump said about Mrs. Khan, the wife of the man who spoke at the DNC: https://www.washingtonpost….
For me it's not just one piece of pop culture, but an entire genre - Westerns. When I was younger it was all cowboys at the OK Corral. But now that I'm older, I see that Westerns are really all about the ever-shifting moral landscape and the anxiety of not understanding how the world works anymore. The best example…
Bryan Fuller isn't exactly known for "over-the-top machismo-fest" TV, so I doubt it will actually be like that. Dark? Yes. Violent? Yes. But also beautiful and lush and filled with complex characters.
I'd add Akira to the list. You just know they wanted Eleven to make all the soldiers explode when the kids were cornered in the hallway of the school, but Netflix had them dial it back a bit.
It's my own fault, but his resemblance to Schwartz/Ralphio made it really hard for me to take him seriously most of the time. I kept expecting him to poorly sing his lines in a too-high falsetto.
