Yeah I live and grew up in Tampa, and you're never more than about a 10 minute drive from the Deep (meaning racist) South.

Those oldies also sound massive live, compared to their recorded versions; skeptics should really get out and see them once.

There were like 3 copies of "Blue Thunder." As if…

The last time I watched Salvador it was a lot cruder and choppier than I remembered, but it is still my favorite of his. (There was no reason for Terry Gilliam to make Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas when Salvador already existed. Salvador works just fine as a Dr. Gonzo road movie and a 60's hangover movie.)

It's the "Heat" principle: tech-savvy, ultra-competent, super-motivated guys who could make twice as much money with a briefcase, with half as much work, as they do pursuing crime.

IIRC, he didn't stick his index finger in the air for emphasis even once.

Yeah, I did not like the softening of Arnold's character (shooting kneecaps?) either, and the chase scenes just seemed like bigger retreads of the first film's (T3 has a much better one). So is the ending in the factory, where I started looking at my watch, wondering if this time the T-1000 was finished for good.

Sure. How many copies of Art of the Deal would you like?

Even a burger as awful as described could be redeemed (like most things) with a piece of bacon.

Trump will have drones in a month, so do it now. He won't even remember you by then.

My old middle class neighborhood in south Tampa where I grew up is now a rich neighborhood, which means they are bulldozing the ranch houses with the lovely wide yards so they can cram two new ones in; not all are Mcmansiony but there's no where to go but up. The yards disappear. My friend's old colonial brick house…

I have a 90 yr old craftsman bungalow (same, solidly built) and have heard or uttered the exact same motto on literally every project over the past 14 yrs.

RIP. Just watched Night of the Hunter again Friday night. One of the all time classics, and Billy helps ground a very offbeat film.

I always give out the candy bar minis, cuz that's what I wanted as a kid. I have Snickers, Milky Way, Twix, Nestle Crunch, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, and 100 Grand. So far everyone has gone for the Twix and Nestle Crunch.
Good, because I am a 100 Grand fiend.

I am not a connoisseur but Jai Lai is pretty damn good. I believe it is Cigar City's top seller. (disclosure: I am a Tampa native).

I upgraded to a 704 right before dvds hit the market and the salesman tried to talk me out of it.

It is a weird format. Laserdiscs pioneered letterboxing, director's cuts, digital surround sound, and interactive extras - as well as being bulky and expensive and spread across multiple sides/discs, with vinyl like artwork - they are the necessary evolution between VHS and DVD. But at the time, they were the only…

If you are old enough to remember watching VHS tapes (or Betamax) when home video first took off in the late 70's/early 80's, then you will also remember that no one thought that VHS looked "lousy", at least not the 99.9% of the public who thought, "Holy shit! Now I can watch Star Wars at home! and tape…

I think modern TV's factor a lot; NTSC based material (like VHS tapes and laserdiscs) fare a lot better on non-digital CRT screens.

They're not DVD quality picture, but they view the same as when I bought them 20-25 years ago. With killer sound, too.
