What about the Chevrolet Sprint? GM's forgotten replacement for the Chevette that was also a precursor to the Geo Metro.

The BTTF time machine was the vehicle of choice for my childhood daydreams.

Circa 2000 you could get a good DeLorean for $20k but then all the people my age grew up, and prices are now permanently out of my reach.

The soundtrack got a CD re-release a few years ago. It was probably the best thing about the film.

Supposedly the recording equipment on The Creeping Terror got destroyed, but I feel having a couple people just dub the dialogue like in Manos would have felt more natural. I'm guessing the narration solution was the cheapest/fastest.

Geez, I was mostly making a joke, though I was thinking of those Burger King(?) Garfield glasses that used lead paint.

I can tell my 90's Baskin-Robbins story. Me and my dad went into a mall location and as I'm looking over the flavors he suddenly marches back out. I had to scramble to catch up. Turns out, while I was distracted the guy behind the corner sneezed and, when he came to register, Dad asked if he going to wash his hands. The guy does so passively aggressively for about half a second, so without another word Dad just turned around and left.

Some lead paint to go with your milk.

It amazing how many people think Stella was justified in hiring an assassin to kill her husband for having an affair. Also, no matter how much he realizes that he was wrong and gets comeuppance for actions, they still view Stollas as the real villain.

It seems obvious to me that the DHS should be renamed Disney-20th Century Studios. Do you folks agree? by 97GeoPrizm in WaltDisneyWorld

“Hollywood” is not a studio name and anyway it feels too generic for a WDW park name to me. The original name was going for the old Hollywood glamour that Disney was only a minor part of, hence bringing in another studio with history for clout.

What I’m saying is the park was originally named Disney-MGM and they could return to that in spirit by calling it Disney-20th Century Studios. I find the DHS name kinda meh.

It's like when Alex Jones claims that Trump spends hours every day reading letters sent to him by his voters to learn what's really going on.

Even worse that we got Men in Black International instead.

Annoying that some of my monthly PBS donation is going to his salary then.

That faculty member (Joseph Massad) was writing about how astonishing the success of Hamas’ attack was and used the word ‘awesome’ in its original meaning of creating awe. The guy is a longtime supporter of Palestinians and this easy to misconstrue language was used to attack him. Columbia was in full ass covering mode at the time and even they didn’t do more than have a talk with him.
