I don’t much see the point in a machine that automates wiping smudges off your specs. It takes a few seconds, has to be done out and about, and can be done with practically anything.

The food service malt we used to use at the ice cream parlor back when I was a clueless teen wasn't far off Horlick's. If you can find a restaurant supply that stocks dry goods, or find a way into Restaurant Depot you can probably get a 5 gallon bucket of the stuff. 

I think it's the opposite problem. People ate super into mining the trailers and press for hints. Wide scale figuring out the plot ahead of time undermines any surprise or mystery. But that speculation is a shit load of free marketing. So they deliberately put in stuff to drive it, but stuff that *doesn't* factor in.…

Yeah I called out IMDB specifically cause they’re so bad at this stuff.

Richard E Grant is listed as appearing in 3 episodes in several places, including IMDB. So....

I’d actually go a bit further. It was pretty damn good. The original just had this aggressive strangeness and a unique tone that no one was going to pull off twice. The US wasn’t enough it’s own thing, the changes just sort of softened everything.

You’re not. But the “urban legend” is.

He appearance in Loki is timefoolery, it’s not in continuity Sif and it’s just an amusing cameo.

Lucio Fulci’s Zombi series was marketed as a sequel to Night, and occasionally with the “Living Dead” title. As were the American Return of The Living Dead films in the 80's. And assorted zombie B films were at least distributed under related names, especially European films when distributed in the US and vice versa.

Rural canada doesn’t have milkshakes?

“that they skimp on the malted milk powder”

Yeah it’s an odd take.

I re-read it a couple years back. It holds up. And it’s certainly silly, but a very specific sort of comic book silly that just works. 

I believe in the Frog of Thunder

It’s more likely it’s a spin on or inspired by Frog Thor in the comics. The movies have mentioned it, so it’s canon.

If memory serves they cribbed it from computers because it sounded cool. That whole drive order on a shared cable, diver jumpers sort of thing.

“Even King Author Baking recommends 1-3 beans per 6oz.”

Unfortunately you probably couldn't get a ham salad sandwich in there either.

That’s what my sister uses most often for basics. And she’s a crazy balls baker that does a little professional pastry work. She keeps two or three different vanillas around, minimum, for different uses.

You generally need more than “about 10 beans” to make proper vanilla extract. And the price on vanilla has been skyrocketing lately. Looks like grade b beans are going for around $100-200/lb right now.
