I feel like the basic problem with “10 most hated christmas candies” is that I don’t think I could have named 10 christmas candies before clicking on this article.  Christmas was always more associated with baked goods (cookies, fruitcake, yule logs, etc.) than candy for me.

Cherry cordials fuckin’ RULE!

I keep thinking about the exclusive shows and how unnecessary they are for any streaming service run by a major network/studio. They already have a draw with their extensive back catalogs, immediate access to first-run broadcast shows, and exclusive rights to streaming premiers of their big movies. They don’t really…

I think the pitch is always that “we pay for this show once, but bring in subscriptions for it for the next 50 years”. It’s a decent pitch if you make good content. I grew up watching Disney films that were like 40+ years old at the time, that my parents still had to pay full price for. Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty, and…

The same way they’d be profitable with ads: You spend less than you’re bringing in.

Ads aren’t required for this, although they expand the amount of money in the pot.

But costs are going to come down soon, once streaming channels start folding and there’s no longer an insane amount of content being produced, driving up…

Yes, a family of humble boutique owners...whose paterfamilias was a high-powered OJ lawyer. Just like common folk, those Kardashians. 

How come no one ever wants to talk about the brutal Kardashian occupation of Bajor? 

If people don’t watch, it will go away. Same with all the other garbage tv (the Bachelor, the Masked Singer, etc.). People are stupid. This is why when given a choice between democracy and fascism, 46% of the country is solidly pro-fascist (although they get mad at the word).

Exactly. How they gonna make gerbils illegal in California, but let all those Kadashians run wild?

No

Hell no. Dear God, no!

Really? They never should have had one in the first place. Vacuous nothings. 

Oh yes, this I remember. One time I was traveling with family, and we had a layover in a city where we relatives, and they just came to the airport and visited with us at the gate until we were ready to board. The only thing you needed the boarding pass for was getting on the actual plane.  And even then, the…

It’s true. Shower curtains are now controlled by an app. There are no rings. They are just hung digitally with the blockchain.

I can remember traveling in the 90s, and taking a souvenir pocket knife in my carry on. Security didn’t think anything of it, and I remember at the time, nobody thought that would be a problem. Now, I’d be whisked away by TSA so fast.

I did see something online awhile back about coming up with what happened after the movie ended, and for this one, someone came up with Del turning out to be a serial killer, that murders Neal and his family, and makes shower curtains out of their skin.

Sort of. But “security” pre 9/11 was even easier than it is with TSA-Pre or Clear today. Basically the metal detectors were like the ones in museums and other public buildings meaning that things like watches, belts, and wallets didn’t trigger anything. You had to have something major like a weapon or something. So…

“Where’s your other hand?”
“Between two pillows...”
“Those aren’t pillows!  But I don’t mind...”

There were still long security lines, metal detectors, and pat downs in 1987 so he would’ve still missed his flight.

All I know is that this is quite possibly one of the most heartwarming shots in all of cinema.
