The formula was changed for the Monster Cereals from what it was originally, back in the ‘70s.

WTF?? No one’s forcing you to eat all of it immediately. I, for one, resent having to pay the same amount or more for less product than used to be available.

“Shrinkflation”/”Downsizing” has also been affecting our ice cream for a long time. Check the weight content on your larger cartons of ice cream. I dare you to find any half-gallon containers (half-gallon is 64 oz).

IF you ask me, it serves the girl scouts right for successfully demanding that girls also be allowed in the boy scouts! Let the girl scouts eat their own damn cookies!!

An additional reason to be unimpressed with “...Shawshank...”: 1979's significantly better “Escape From Alcatraz” (which clearly served as the model for the former).

I saw “Pretty Woman” (not sure why) & I thought it sucked! Of course, there aren’t a lot of romantic comedies I like, anyway, but I can think of ones a lot better than that one. “Better Off Dead” & “Benny & Joon” come to mind.

It’s not so much a comedy, but a perfect companion piece to “The Chase” (great movie, btw) is Charlie’s dad Martin, starring with Linda Blair in the also-great 1975 TV movie “Sweet Hostage”, with a similar premise (Stockholm Syndrome thing)—

Led Zeppelin was already a blues cover band, wasn’t it? They took blues songs/riffs & copied or corrupted them for most of their music.

Of course, the ultimate test for Daria & Jane was when they both met their match in rich kid/rebel Tom, who first dates Jane, then eventually Daria.

I’ve seen enough of Keanu Reeves in movies to have made up my mind about one thing—he can’t act. He might make a great stuntman, if that was really him in “Speed”, for example, but he should really stick to doing only that. He’s just not believable as anything but a surfer dude (even if it’s an old one).

I’d go for a cross between The Church of The SubGenius & Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.

No way to pick just one, but “One Story Town”, “All The Wrong Reasons”, “The Waiting”, “Breakdown” (Live, with the audience singing & Petty responding “You’re gonna put me out of a job.”) & “The Last D.J.” come to mind.

This movie, which originally was released in 1986, is about Harry Potter, Jr. & his family, who move into an apartment building that is soon subject to takeover by a troll named Torok—
