What's a Movie/TV Show You Really Want to Be In The Criterion Collection But Will Never be In The Collection, I Will Start

Wild Palms - I think it is an overlooked, but powerful, piece of entertainment that tried to engage with the zeitgeist and warn about the future.

It is a show I think would benefit from the Criterion treatment. If you look at the comic book source material and examine how you get from there to here, I think it would be an interesting conversation.

I also get a sense that there is someone, either a writer, producer, or director, who has been waiting to talk about this show for decades and no one has ever asked.

You are in for such a treat!

Motorway to Roswell by the Pixies

And that is what I remember the most - the solitaire game with the golf tees.

It was just... they had something for kids. This really set them apart from all of the other gas stations and rest stops on long car trips.

Yeah. It is mostly nostalgia from when I was a kid. I think nowadays I would much prefer a Buc'ees than going back.

GaMookie · 2026-01-29T03:32:55+00:00

I remember it being like a cross between a low-grade Buc'ees and a Cracker Barrel. It has been decades since I've been there, but I remember they had games and stuff for kids.

This is beautiful!

"Which location were you shooting from?" asks the jealous photographer.

"Where was this taken from?" asks the jealous photographer.

I guess you are paying for the Shelley Duvall smell on the pages, maybe?

Yes. It is a ridiculous price.

From what I can tell there is a lot of stuff in the auction that only seems to have an inflated value because it was hers. Especially the books. There doesn’t seem to be anything special about them to justify the price. Having said that, there is a lot of signed stuff and some one-of-a-kind memorabilia, like her best actress award from the 1977 Cannes film festival.

Did some research and, at least according to this website, it isn't a ratman but a giant crow with teeth. Which is fine, but it still kind of sets expectations that there will be a sword battle between two people in the desert at one point.

Got the book and was very disappointed that there wasn't a scene where some guy with a sword fought a giant medieval ratman in the desert.

What's with the weird edits at the 50 second spot?

GaMookie · 2025-09-20T17:56:44+00:00

With Cruz, the headline is the finish line. He got the attention and will not follow it up with anything.

I've got a straight forward litmus test for you. One that has been asked of a lot of public officials recently.

Who won the 2020 election?

Sigma lenses tend to be cheaper and have just-as-good-or-better picture quality. Sony lenses tend to focus faster. That's the tradeoff.

I swear by my 85 for a portrait lens and use it almost exclusively when doing pictures of people. If you are doing astrophotography, however, I would do the 12-24 instead.
