I thought taking the kids to a movie they want to see but you probably would find a tough slog goes with the territory. How else do the Despicable Me flicks make that much dough?

My Mom took me to some pretty awful kiddie matinees back in the day. (One movie later turned up on MST3K.) She deserved a medal for that.

And in the category of stuff I actually care about (as opposed to white dudes complaining about being called racist), this tweet is insane even by Trump standards.

Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded…

Nice find! I saw a film can that once held raw footage from The Shining fetch almost $1500 in an online auction last year.

Raw footage? Wasn’t all the negatives burned by Kubrick?

Not the negs. Rushes, or dailies as they’re called intended to be viewed in a screening room to check the progress of the previous days of shooting. The can in the auction was empty.

Why am I paying for bi monthly visits from the exterminator if ants are going to invade my house anyway? I’ll be lucky if anyone returns my call before the 5th.

Maybe you need to find a better exterminator.

I’ve been pretty happy with them up to now. The termite treatment they’ve done is more effective than tenting the house and gassing the hell out of it. (And you don’t have to leave for the duration.) In any case, it has turned out to be a small incursion rather than a large invasion like last year. This house is like swiss cheese to insects that small.
