I remember those days! Especially a time when we were talking, where she was tagged, when I accidentally identified her as Reg instead of Sam in the film. You jokingly pointed it out and we had a back-and-forth about how embarrassed I'd be if she ever read it! Good times!

Holy shit ASOS released an adaptive clothing line specifically for people with disabilities?!?!!! Magnets instead of buttons, special pockets and holes to hold wearable medical devices that have tubes, and zippers to make them more comfortable for wheelchair users. www.asos.com/women/fashio...

And a great use of "A STAR WARS Story"... which I wish was still a viable form from them.

No doubt. I think I could've chosen a better word than "shlocky." It reminds of a carnival barker/ghost storyteller - "And they found a hook hanging from the door!" You know what I mean? Words fail Andrew today.

That's some good stuff. Love that ending, kinda shlocky and meta at the same time, esp with the v/o.

First time?!? AWESOME! I *love* this movie...wacko as it is! I've joked that the Car was a better actor than most of the cast! Always wanted to make a sequel to it... still working on it. The Car itself is ICONIC! Guillermo de Toro has a replica of it! The closest I came is a toy replica...

The next best like that was another "Cheap Theater" in RI where I'd usually do 2-3 movies when I was there And the walk across the parking lot to... a Chinese buffet restaurant!

He Who Walks Behind the Toy Aisles @randyofaftimes.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Yeah, the place was $3 tickets with it being $1.50 on Tues/Thu. More than once I did 3 movies in a day. And if I didn't hit the Sizzler for the $10? $12? meal and Endless salad bar, the place did have good $1 hot dogs.

A weird fun one was seeing CABIN IN THE WOODS with a friend at a cheap theater for $1.50. Then walking across the parking lot to eat at Sizzler, meets friends there. THEN go back across the parking lot to watch CABIN IN THE WOODS *again* Godz, I miss that shithole of a theater!

EX-actly! It was FORTY YEARS* ago! They have a chance to actually plan for it as an ongoing series! And you can use the book rather than try to jam into a "Disney animated kids' film."

I think we're both envious that it's going to be shown theatrically, in 35MM!, at the New Beverly later this month! Wish I could make it to LA for it.

It was one of these weird nights where I rolled out and saw COYOTE VS. ACME, then drove 15 minutes to ANOTHER theater to see SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA. I wish there were more people there, but at least it wasn't a "private screening" for me.

#NobodyAskedMe The fact that Disney, at the height of YA adaptations, never did anything with The Chronicles of Prydain is astounding. YES, I know THE BLACK CAULDRON is seemingly a curse of their own making. But they bought the rights back TEN YEARS AGO! Boggles my mind...
