Good to see a mention of the mostly-forgotten The Paper here. I haven’t seen it in ages, but I remember really enjoying it when it played at the movie theater I worked at 1,000 years ago.   It never streams anywhere, and it just only recently got a bare bones blu-ray release.   

Jim on the Move. By Lalo Schifrin.

Aw, gee whiz!

He forgot about the prequels?

I ran across the Jurassic Park cookbook this weekend and was disappointed there was no recipe for Chilean Sea Bass.

‘With the longstanding box-office legacy Avatar still wields, Cameron has reason to feel believe in the audience enjoyments his films deliver.’

Got a 16-year old and we’ve never done a big road trip with him. Next summer will be busy with getting ready for senior year, college prep, etc, so his mom and I decided it was now or never. Went to South Dakota and Wyoming, Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Devil’s Tower, and had a BLAST. He’s fully into the angsty, I’m too…

I’m going to a Fathom event on Thursday and I hope this doesn’t happen.  It would be a shame if they ruined the original artistic vision of G.I. Joe: The Movie.  

I agree that everyone who saw this should get their money back. But I’m thinking that a simple refund may not be as easy as all that. Tickets are purchased from the theaters, not from Fathom. It seems like the individual theaters could refund the ticket price and then Fathom could return their take of that to the…

Like the back of a Volkswagen?

Fixed that headline for you. Thought it was a recap of all the previous movies, but it also explains so many things from the new one that I imagine a lot of us would like to have discovered for ourselves. I was curious about how they bring the original three back into the story, but now I don’t have to wonder. …

It’s not about the destination, it’s about annoying the crap out of each other in the car for 3000 miles.

My first car was an ‘84 Pontiac Bonneville that my mother bought from the local ABC affiliate where she worked. Ken Hatfield, the head football coach at UA Fayetteville, would come to Little Rock once a week to be on their Razorback recap show and they bought him the car to drive back and forth and to use while he was…

We’re taking a big road trip this summer to see the Badlands and then Devil’s Tower and since we pass right through Rapid City on the way from one to the other, it just seems like we should stop and see Mt. Rushmore on the way.   But it’s the part of the trip I’m least looking forward to.  It’s almost like an…

Sure, we all know about the younglings being killed, but how many of us were expecting to see a depiction of it in a show that’s set years after it happened, much less when it resembles a real-world horrific massacre that only happened 72 hours earlier? I just think a disclaimer would be appropriate.

I’m not watching Obi-Wan until I get home from work this afternoon, but I watched the recap at the beginning, and couldn’t resist watching the first few seconds of the actual episode.

I had been thinking the same thing, but I think it being a federal crime means she won’t be able to do anything about it.  At least I hope so.

Hail Xenu, I’m sold!!

Not really. There had been plenty of Star Wars makeovers of other games, even by that point. Monopoly, Battleship, etc. They just generally changed the iconography and tokens and stuff, but the rules were the same.  I wasn’t expecting this to be any different.  Lesson learned, I guess.    

Sure, but I didn’t know the specific way it happened.
