Saul Zanuck had them for years, then Bob and Harvey Weinstein got him to trade just the LOTR rights in exchange for Miramax finishing "The English Patient." The Weinsteins wanted to work with Jackson again after "Heavenly Creatures" was successful, but then got cold feet at Jackson's expanding budget, told him to cut…

Hey, thanks for reminding me that I had 30 minutes left to pull the trigger on the Summer sale games I'd been going back and forth on!

For the defense, Jackson tried to have costumed actors play a lot of the goblins in Goblin Town, but the actors got too hot and exhausted to film the scene, so they scrapped it and animated the goblins.

The BEST words! TREMENDOUS words!

And remember, this isn't something we can ever take back. When he dies, there will be a State funeral. Every Presidents' Day, Trump is in the mix. There will be a Trump Presidential Library.

Honestly, I think you could pull any person off the street and that person would be a better president. At least some rando would be likely to admit that s/he's overwhelmed by the job and listen to people who know what they are talking about, instead of careening from self-made crisis to self-made crisis.

I think the inference is that the fake cover had been hanging at these properties for going on a decade, so they pre-date his appearance on the cover as a political character.

I think they work it out by never running Hillary Clinton again.

It is, but the cat that Trump wears on his head WAS a Cat Fancy cover girl in the late 90s.

Dantooine, Venator, gonk & astromech!

They're shooting in London, and IIRC, the English crews on the original Star Wars were pretty legendary for dropping the the gear and going home when the whistle blew at the end of the day.

On old-school cable, they show everything 16x9.

I've re-read several vintage King novels in the past year, and one of my big surprises is how frequently casual racism and sexism plays a role in the plotting. It's really eye-opening as to what was considered acceptable to even a liberal guy in the 80s.

But TV has ruined my imagination!

Netflix's recs are almost always, "Hey! Watch this thing that Netflix made!"

She's been in some pretty shitty situations, but nothing in her life had ever sucked more ass than that.

The N-Z movies are what they used to buy Whole Foods.

I so miss the days when I could just assume that responsible adults were doing something boring at the White House that didn't require constant, real-time monitoring.
