Almost all of them had been in stuff already. Feldman was certainly the big name, with Goonies having come out two years earlier.

But a bit more importantly there was already an all out blitz on many of these guys in the your various teen magazines. Sutherland and the Coreys for sure, but also Winters and Patric at a…

“This kind of reminds me of Lost Boys. Call it Lost Boys and we’ll give it the greenlight.”

The movie theaters that did that were specific sorts of theaters. Independent 2nd run theaters, reparatory theaters and drive throughs. What they were doing was renting or buying exhibition prints from distributors (often from second string distributors who themselves picked them up from the bigger guys) after they’d…

Since it’s trying to reboot it to modern times, I just don’t see it as a reboot to the Lost Boys so much as a one in a million vampire stories in modern times with the title cut and pasted on it.

Honestly? Near Dark is the better choice for a remake. I don’t really think it’s any better put together than Lost Boys, and I never much liked either. But it’s a got a hell of a lot more interesting shit going on. It’s far less style over substance. And it’s less known.

It’s well worth watching. It got a terrible, quicky psuedo-sequel that should be avoided though. 

doesn’t really have many stars per se.

The Thing.

They say “reboot” with this. But we tend to mean restarting or resetting a series, often something relatively recent. And this is not a series or something recent, though sometimes late sequels get that label.

That’s kinda common. Celery powder, and celery extract/juice being a plant product have a varied nitrate content. Different plants, different fields, different seasons are gonna have different concentrations. So early on products were often wildly inconsistent, or had to be reformulated.

That’s a very good way to put it. 

So WWII was before 1900?

asked me to rough-out a yard or 4 inches on the ground

People resisted changing to Metric in the 70's (I was there) because people in the United States hate change.

Yeah and most of the rest of globe is metric.

It just makes less and less sense to convert things over for the US market, while there’s a lot of incentive not to just ship US shit abroad.

And forgetting cars for a minute. Ain’t nobody designing semi-conductors in fractions of an inch. There’s just slow pressure taking…

Jeep is own by Fiat. They’re in Europe.

It comes from theorizing about why the US (and initially the UK) didn’t go metric in the 18th century when Europe was doing so. Or adopt it along the way the way many other nations did. Because it really does just work better.

Maybe I should have included that specific context. It’s about what machining work looked…

British teens aren’t into sagging trousers.

They’re into KNIFE CRIME.

And they’re coming for you.

And that’s sort of the use with Fahrenheit. It’s a bigger scale in whole numbers. And there are more steps between frozen water and boiling water. That’s got some utility for shit like cooking.

Um sure? But that’s not how or why it was developed. Also 100 isn’t “fuck it’s hot” everywhere or to everyone one. Humidity and direct sunlight have a big impact on comfort/perception.

And if you were used to Celsius you wouldn’t “have to think” about decimals, or have any trouble attaching temperatures to weather. You…

One of the theories behind why the US failed to go metric multiple times has to to with the idea that before computers, calculators, and wide scale standardization and what have. Machining was a little bit easier working in the halves, quarters and eighths. Since it’s all a baseline of “half the other thing”, which is…
