Until digital projection started to become the standard about 20 years ago, films, as in the actual print of the movie, were rented from the distributors, shown, and then returned after their run was over, usually in good enough condition that the studio could then rerent them to second-run places. Spielberg and Lucas…

Southern Baptist convention. In New Orleans. Where I’m sure all of the delegates to the convention spent their time between sessions studying the Bible.

‘human chain wallet’  destroyed me.  I’m dead now.  Thank you for that.  

He’s showing his leadership capabilities, just like Schwarzenegger challenged him to do all those years ago.  

The newer take on The Stand deserves a place here. So many awful mistakes made. So many changes that were either at best just unnecessary or at worst weakened the story. The one that comes to mind was the Dark Man’s enclave in Vegas. The book’s group of technically adept people who worked hard and were absolutely…

I’ve started typing out a comment in my notes app and copying it so I can quickly paste it here before the page refreshes in the middle of whatever I was trying to say.

I have read a lot of reviews and comments that consider Sally ‘redeemed’ by telling her son the truth and retiring to a quiet life somewhere. But not only did she know the real story about Gene and still let him go to prison, I was struck by the last scene she had with her son. As she was leaving he told her he loved…

I think the gun thing was meant as a pessimistic commentary on the way things are going in this country. Remember, the show made an 8-year time jump a few episodes ago. Who knows what things will look like in 2031? And the fact that the gun department was right through the toy aisle was as dark as joke as this show…

Saw a rumor that there would be a Christopher Reeve cameo. Someone asked why they would drag him into this, and a reply said, ‘It’s not like he would walk in by himself, would he?’

Such a shame.  I would have expected better from a founding member of Menudo. 

Why are they wearing the prison uniform from Andor?  Are they barefoot too?

That looks like something that would be pretty easy to recreate with pieces from Bricklink, especially  if you’ve already got a Yoda minifig.   Not to mention a lot cheaper than any that might show up on eBay. 

The TV show was never going to be about Indy. The rumor was that it would follow the adventures of Abner Ravenwood, possibly with a young Marion in tow. I suppose it could have allowed for an appearance by Jones, either as a young trainee of Abner’s or with Harrison Ford in the intro flashing back to the main story,…

Arkansas is my favorite: kids don’t need parent’s approval to work, but they’d goddamned well better have permission before checking Megan has Two Mommies out from the public library.

Strange. With Tarantino’s movies being so synonymous with violence, it just feels like there would have been sex in some of them too. But briefly thinking back on his movies (I haven’t seen Hateful Eight or Deathproof),  the only one that comes to mind is the brief, almost fully-clothed encounter against the bar…

I can’t hear Arby’s slogan, no matter who delivers it, without it sounding like a bad report from your doctor. “Well, we’ve analyzed your blood sample, and I’m afraid that it shows positive. You have the meats. We’ll start you on an aggressive course of antibiotics immediately, but it’s going to be a long and painful r…

Cool story time: We went to Disney World in November of ‘15. Not long before we went, Disney announced the dates that TFA content would be showing up in the parks and it was less than a week after we were going to be there. It was too late to change our plans, so I was a little disappointed, but still looking forward…

The only way I could eat that much cheese in a day would be to bring some home and eat it late.

I know that in the comics, Everett Ross is not related to Betty and Thunderbolt Ross, but it would be fun if they added him to the family tree somehow and brought Martin Freeman in.
