About that Rudy scene in Borat... - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 24, 07:12 1

I watched a bad movie (can't decide if it was good-bad or just plain bad) last night called Behind You in which the success of an exorcism hinged - 🧛 pfm in a Fr. Damien Karras mask 💀 Oct 24, 07:00 1

Does anybody here know Banjo The Woodpile Cat? Because this Don Bluth short was a big part of my childhood, and I think I might be the only one... -- (link*) - Ender Oct 23, 23:18 [youtube] 3
- I was a HUGE early Don Bluth fan; NIMH, Dragons Lair, Space Ace, but I only vaguely remember Banjo. - JaxSean Oct 23, 23:45 1

My Stubborn Soda Co. Black Cherry Tarragon review - crash davis Oct 23, 21:52 12
- I usually describe tarragon as "licoricey". It might go better with a citrus base. - Reagen Oct 24, 07:16 4
  - How do you make a seltzer at home? For some reason, I can follow along with home brewing of beer, but I don't know how you do a seltzer. -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 08:07 3
    - simplest possible thing. boil sugar water, cool, add yeast, add flavour essence at bottling. -- nm - Reagen Oct 24, 08:11 2
      - The carbonation was throwing me, I didn't consider yeast. Does the yeast affect the flavor at all? -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 08:25 1
        
        a little? There's a vague bread/malt odour. - Reagen Oct 24, 08:56
- Tarragon is a weird thing to mix it with. It explains the last couple sentences of your IM -- nm - flavorize Oct 23, 22:17 1
  - that is why I chose to order it, it sounded so weird and wrong that I thought maybe it would turn out to be all right -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 22:51
- So it doesn't compare well to Barqs Spiced Cherry, I take it -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 23, 22:14 3
  - I have not had that, but I will try it on your recommendation -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 22:56 1
    - Do keep in mind that I like things on the sweet and flavourful side. - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 24, 00:44
  - (Which, to be clear, is my favourite Barqs ... and I'm a big fan of Barqs Root Beer) -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 23, 22:16
- Yikes -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 22:10

- Decent swordplay in the beginning. -- nm - Max Oct 23, 22:59
- You have to stick with it—it gets much better as it goes -- nm - Flavorize 🎃 Oct 23, 22:01
- Oh yes. -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 23, 21:42

Heather Graham just crossed the Wilford Brimley/Cocoon line. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 23, 21:00 10
- At risk of Wolfcastle-ing myself, is the fact that it’s a Wilford/Cocoon line also the joke? -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 06:22
- As we've discussed before when this comes up, Wilford Brimley looked really bad for his early 50s in that movie. - Coffin Todd Oct 24, 02:58
- Another person I don't think of as older than Cocoon Brimley is Paul Rudd -- nm* - crash davis Oct 23, 22:13
- The stem cells are strong in that one. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 23, 21:25
- But she will always be Roller Girl -- nm - eag Oct 23, 21:21
- This will not make David happy. -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 23, 21:10
- explain? -- nm - 👽Scully👽 Oct 23, 21:10 3
  - She is now older than Brimley was at cocoon's release -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 23, 21:10 2
    - Or, she just offended Brimley's Cocoon worldview and he's going to have to destroy her from the grave. - Max Oct 23, 21:12
    - (It's become a "wtf everyone is so old why god why" demarcation) -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 23, 21:11
I like this board. Do more boards like this. -- nm - David Oct 23, 20:55

OK. Now *THAT’S* a movie worth watching. Sacha Baron Cohen redeems himself here mostly because he’s best in small doses. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 23, 20:21 3
- I don't believe you. -- nm - Coffin Todd Oct 23, 20:23 2
  - Would you believe that Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a suit and crew cut is dreamy? -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 23, 20:34 1
    - yes -- nm - Dano Oct 23, 22:11

- I haven’t played in a while. -- nm - spamlet Oct 23, 19:47
LYC. To my huge surprise, I LOVE Paulina Poriskova on IG. Ric disinherited her (and older sons), she was forced to leave NY house because she couldn't - 👽Scully👽 Oct 23, 19:36
And just before 20020 concludes with a touching moment, we get a great callback to 17776. - Tim Oct 23, 19:01
Apple and Netflix in a bidding war for the new Bond film -- (link) - Remlik Oct 23, 18:39 13
- FWIW, the rumor comes from a never-heard-of-it-site called Binged. So, grain of salt. Do streams want to buy “No Time To Die”? Sure. - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 23, 21:32 3
  - A factor to consider here is that Coming 2 America got $125 million to go straight to streaming. No Time to Die cost $250 million. - David Oct 23, 21:37 2
    - And I don't understand why Netflix will pay so much (even the $125m). It isn't like they will get that money back in new subscriptions - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 23, 21:44 1
      - Right, I think it would be more of a flex for Netflix and possibly a goodwill gesture toward subscribers after a tough year. - David Oct 23, 22:12
- Hmm... I suspect something a lot bigger is going on here. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 23, 20:20 2
  - An acquisition? Apple buying Sony?? Tim Apple becoming the new J Jonah Jameson??? -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 23, 20:30 1
    - I was think an imminent Godzilla attack but sure, let's go with your thing. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 23, 20:35
- Hopefully Netflix wins, cause otherwise I won't see it. -- nm - Coffin Todd Oct 23, 20:07
- Boo. I've seen every James Bond film in the theater since Roger Moore got the job. (nm) - howie Oct 23, 19:00 1
  - Yeah. I would be kind of disappointed not seeing it in theater but also I won't go to a theater in a long time -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 23, 19:47
- What would the number need to be? This is at least a 750mil dollar project - Will Hunting Oct 23, 18:43 2
  - I’m strongly of the opinion that MGM needs the money fast so they might take the highest bid even if it doesn’t cover all their costs. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 23, 21:30
  - oh at the very least -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 18:46
Snoop Dogg has an Xbox Series X fridge -- (link) - Bud S. Pumpkins 🎃 Oct 23, 18:38

There is so much less going on with this end of campaign than in 2016. No Wikileaks, no DNC hack... -- (edited) - Qale Oct 23, 17:50 5
- "You wanted more??" -- nm - Wong Oct 23, 19:11
- One thing I’ve noticed is that the NRA is a much smaller player this election cycle, for myriad reasons, of course. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 23, 17:53
- Wait for it....... -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 17:53
- I think you’re probably right, but I sure wouldn’t tempt fate by saying such out loud. -- nm - znoooooooo!!! Oct 23, 17:51 1
  - I’m no Redmond. In fact, I’d say 80% of the time, I don’t think anyone knows I’m here. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 17:53
