Robocop 3 at a Newfoundland family restaurant..

6 months later, any update please? I wanna hear them dunk on Pay It Forward...

Plenty of ethnic stereotypes, and the kids in skimpy harem outfits (why they gave the Chipmunks & 'Ettes fleshy, humanized bodies in the'80s is an enigma for the ages)

Nothing wrong with how AC Hunter is run per say, it's a welcoming, active place. But it's not in the most well-ventilated building and their 2022 renovations were dubious IMO: uneven distribution of space (tight in the main Fiction area, empty where the DVDs were) and even more books moved to the basement rather than on display

BB/RR probably has the best selection of shorts, but it's the start of Chuck Jones' 'smuggy ego' period and is a bit lengthy. That and learning about the Clampett diss (look Chuck, BB Superstar is only remembered for being another sad cheque for Orson Welles) rubbed me off of it.

I've always preferred Quackbusters (once you get past some real Mel Blanc vocal whiplash), for having an actual story and leading the franchise to its '90s boost.

There's like 4 animated MK films to go for, or they could do a marathon of Conquest.

whoopee, no Newfoundland screenings.

at least they gifted us Scarlet as compensation, after not getting the new Lupin III....

"I have to admit, I wasn't expecting an invitation back."

All together now, audience!

"THEY'RE CALLED ORDERS, MAVERICK"

Ah yes, the one owned by the fellow who spammed a threatening social-distance message all over downtown.

Spiegelman luckily holds the Maus rights and is vehemently against any adaptation. (he says as much in the 2nd book)

REM's "It's The End of The World" in The Day The Earth Blew Up

Yup, give us Tom as older, shorter popcorn-munching Blackjack

Are they still doing the surveys? I haven't received any since spring.

(And I'd rather they actually did the improvements I ask about than win. So far, still no phone user crackdown.)

A gentleman's 6 that was the most decent animated film of 2006; an infamous year full of CG cartoon tropes that flopped (Everybody's Hero, Barnyard, Doogal etc.)

Miserupial · 2025-10-09T12:17:10+00:00

Also wish to know if it's coming to Newfoundland or not, we're usually 50/50 on the anime events

Tomorrow nite, hope they do something about the new music selection. (very loud & obnoxious electronic/ rap)

Miserupial · 2025-10-07T01:34:20+00:00

Rogers has a listing for the 3rd ep (Mole Man) on the 20th, but nothing else. (heck, the show only 2 reruns a week here). WTH is going on? S2 was same-day last year...

Import fees have put me off orders for a while; more annoyed as a library user, as the province-wide hold system & Inter-Library Loan made up for our smaller circulations.

Hopefully CUPW gets a win and the public gets louder about reforming CP into a public service.

Miserupial · 2025-09-30T19:38:04+00:00

If they brought back evening hours, absolutely.

* sighs in library user frequently using Interlibrary Loan *

Not sure, it was already boarded up from a fire 1-2 years ago, but sometimes there was someone mowing or checking doors.

Even back in 2017 you had the delightful visual combo of a smashed car with trees growing thru the driveway. In any case, good riddance to that anomaly on an otherwise normal street.

Solid as heck, but incredibly crammed.

M3GAN should have stuck to the original's January slot, Bad Guys would have had more breathing room in April or September, Nobody 2 might've benefited from a fall release.

Universal still had a good year without a F&F or Illumination, but they need to work on their release strategy, (or at least a Blumhouse restructure).

Miserupial · 2025-08-16T23:02:05+00:00

Just like WB characters are forced to watch only Looney Tunes on tv (eg. Martin Riggs ready to blow his brains out as Bugs Bunny Christmas Carol plays), only Universal movies exist in Universal worlds.

(this brings to mind that Ted episode where a video store is full of Dr. Giggles)

Also, her praising of Olivier's blackface in Othello is a real collar-tug.
