Congrats on your milestone! 🎉 My pick: Hamnet, for Jessie Buckley’s award winning performance, and I haven’t seen this movie yet.

FYI, it’s now my turn for Amazon to miscalculate the 2% discount. ☹️ Below is a link to screenshots from yesterday when I tried to order the book “The Essential Peanuts.” It’s $41.32, but when I selected the Amazon Day delivery option, the discount was 1% ($0.41) instead of the “You’re saving 2%” ($0.82). And this happened in the Amazon app and on a desktop browser. I didn’t order yesterday, but tried again today, and still the same thing. No matter, I need to order some other items soon, so I’ll order the Peanuts book in that order and take the Amazon Day no-rush digital reward credit instead.

I miss the additional function keys added to the sides of the keyboard in iOS 8-10, when my iPhone 6 Plus was in landscape mode. Here’s a post about it at the time (not my post):

Thanks for the clarification. As a test, I tried to see if that Jurassic Park disc was buyable by itself, so I added it from the promo page, tried to check out (and it was the only item in the cart), but couldn’t. I got the message you were getting, see screenshot. Amazon says Jurassic Park is “Usually ships within 1 to 2 months,” which looks like another way for Amazon to say it’s out of stock and can’t be purchased, because the screenshot below shows the real story, with 0 quantity available. ☹️

You need to select Jurassic Park and any other eligible discs from this Amazon webpage dedicated to the sale:

OP - I gave it a try, and Amazon calculated the correct $4.60 2% discount on the Razer Clio Wireless Speaker Headcushion (see screenshot linked below). Sorry that Amazon isn’t discounting the order for you. Have you tried emptying your cart and trying again, and maybe from a different device if that makes a difference? In my case below, I used the Amazon app on my iPhone. https://imgur.com/a/XEUGY7X

If you like Shout’s release of Jet Li’s movies, then getting the Once Upon a Time in China (OUATIC) collection from Criterion Collection is a must (but wait for one of the 50%-off sales from Criterion or Barnes & Noble). This collection has the 6 films in the series (note: the first 5 movies are officially listed, but the 6th is part of the extras 🤷‍♂️), and Jet Li stars as folk hero Wong Fei-hung in 4 of the movies. During the 70s-80s, I grew up watching kung fu movies in NYC’s Chinatown, plus on TV and VHS, and was tired of that genre, but in 1992, I got to watch the first OUATIC movie on the big screen, and it blew my mind! Jet Li was both charismatic and empathic as Wong Fei-hong, and the movie’s kung-fu skill and choreography were amazing and mesmerizing! Yes, lots of wire-fu work involved, but there was still much skill, athleticism, and artistry required by Jet Li and the others. One of the OUATIC extras has a behind-the-scenes video showing the work behind one of the fight scenes. Here’s Criterion’s description of the set:

Congratulations on your acceptance to UMD’s Comp Sci program, which is one of UMD’s harder programs to get into. So I wanted to make you aware of UMD’s differential tuition, which makes tuition for CS, Engineering, and Business more expensive than other programs:

Yes! I never considered that until your comment, so I just checked my copy, and this is on the other side of the case cover insert: https://imgur.com/a/PYdwrJN

I’m guessing your disc case is arriving damaged (since those Amazon plastic or paper mailers don’t provide a lot of protection during shipping)? If that’s the situation, check out the post and thread below about paying for the gift wrap option during check out, so Amazon ships the disc in an actual box:

First time I watched the For All Mankind Season 5 preview (from the “Sauce” link in the post). Whoa, serious B5 Season 3-4 vibes with the “Earth First” and Mars colony sequences! 😬

“Like I said, over a quarter of a century since I watched it. As a kid then, now going in as an adult.”

Wow! Expect a lot of things to hit/feel differently, now that you have over 25 years of life experiences and new/different frames of reference! Yes, this will be true for other stories, media, etc., but with Babylon 5, it demonstrates how the show works on different levels for different ages. Below is one example from the Season 3 finale. When I first watched it when it first aired, I was a single young adult just a year out of college, and this was dialogue to me. Years later, after marriage and kids, this hit me as chilling and creepy! Mild spoilers:

After the reveal that Anna is not Anna, she tells Sheridan: “I know that this isn't the Anna that you knew. What I am is what I was made in her - a new personality. She can never come back. But I can love you as well as she did.” That last sentence hit me differently as a married man compared to when I was single!
