There's a great book called Movie Brats about the then big up and coming names. Lucas, Spielberg and others get chapters. The most interesting part I found was how many of them didn't know the cost, or the profit of the movie they made. Then Spielberg and Lucas created blockbusters, and it was obvious.

I saw a similar thing during the Wii era. A Don't executive claimed his consoles were selling really well and bet you couldn't find it in shelves. Penny arcade looked and found the PS3 in every store they visited. Some bad been there a while. The Wii couldn't be found at all. The big thing was, I don't think the executive was lying. I think he was being given false numbers. He was suffering the same thing as the directors before the blockbuster.

Streaming doesn't give out real numbers. New movie brats have arrived, and they're just as blindfolded as the previous ones.

The restaurant thing isn't even close to true. Too many Mormons served missions in other countries and started selling food. Then you have literal soda bars like Sodalicious.

A guy I know, who is one of the nicest people in the world, has been posting how much he wants to see Donald Trump drugged and die. This is lefty world view of the event. There is no real stop.

Alp are the old school elves basically, and they steal children. Sometimes they replace the child with one of their own.

They remember only half the story of the woman caught in sin. He told her to sin no more, not it wasn't a sin.

Back in the day if a child did this, we would say they were alpenkindt and burn the bodies. Just saying...

It's going to turn out she isn't as tough or capable as she wanted to be and needs friends like Mario to help save her. It's the same set up as the penguin king.

Mario learns how to do things and becomes capable after several mistakes. Meanwhile Luigi escapes and takes on the ghosts that scared him.

Then ask them what they think of the Joker.

There is a bit of obsession on both sides to hate shows and movies. More on the left side, but I can't help notice it happening on the right as well. Go see the movie, shows, and games you like and be happy.

That's one of the reasons why I post a link list.

Cook was an interesting guy. He explored half of the NorthWest. He also pointed out that the Hawaiian islands were connected because of verneal diseases. He also entered territories the same way Commodore Perry entered Japan to assert dominance.

Liking him while in Hawaii needs to be done quietly BTW.

I miss reading Lord Byron in the graveyard and telling the emo kid to commit suicide.

It's surprising how accurate that is. The polynesians likely followed the melanesian and others trade routes. They had an ability to know where land is that is lost to time for the most part now, but most of the islands were inhabited, and the polynesians invaded many a place.

The blue beatle is a parasite that is trying to conquer earth and gets tricked into saving it. There isn't a lot of room to make comments.

Finding out you're German is basically hearing how evil Nazis are and asking why we haven't killed them all off. Then being told.

That was my experience anyway.

It's like we're magical war fairies that only show up when someone wishes for a world war.

I get the feeling the kids in the tiny homes are foster kids. I've seen stuff like that while growing up, so it wouldn't surprise me. I've seen what I can describe best as Puppy Mills for foster kids and it's one of the reasons why I have a ton of rules about fostering.

Those aren't officially brothels. Though a space themed brothel now catches my mind. Will she wear a space suit?

The editor will deserve an Oscar if it looks decent.

That's good to know. Do you have some links? I would like to add them to the next list.
