So, the only thing stopping you from being Trump is money and notoriety? :0

And for most, a sense of decency and shame.

I miss watching Siskel & Ebert do their thang.

Was it on Saturday's or Sunday's? I remember it was always on the weekend it seemed.

I was at El Pollo Loco once and the cashier was arguing with he shift manager, I guess. She came to the register and asked the 1st customer (I was 2nd) "are these too tight?" and turned around to show the back of her pants.

The guy took one look and said "Damn." She had no reaction.

Interesting to me how serious they took the subject. No hot takes then.

Spoilers in link for the 2 people who haven't seen the film.

Lost to Dances with Wolves (!) for Best Picture.

Mine rotates between nature scenes, changing about every two weeks. I'm not sure if I did this or not. If I cared enough, I'd change it.

Because collecting information on everybody and abusing the shit out of it is only okay when US companies do it

This is actually the closest to the truth. "Abusing the shit out it" includes selling to marketing companies, medical firms, lending institutions, employment agencies and "background check" entities. Even if they don't sell it, they analyze it internally to send SPAM or other marketing.

You have to understand that it was an excuse to go out to the theatre. Maybe throw in dinner before and something else after. Go crazy and invite someone you like to share the experience.

People had the disposable income for that more than they do now plus the prices were cheaper.

Another JAQing off thread.

Agreed. We had to take my dad's car keys at 80. Reflexes and timing were gone and started forgetting where he was going. It's tough on all parties but necessary.

DVD has the money for a personal driver anyway.

Hang in there TC.

Had a co-worker who had to do it every 6 months.

Been working on Crime & Punishment for a while now. Might as well re-start it at this point.

Time to take his keys. Car keys at least.

How does this guy eat? Unless he's hooked up to an IV, he's going to have to swallow. Lord knows what that leads to.

A disappointing number of people probably believe this too.

My slider phone ruled. There was no real proper internet but typing out messages on a mini keyboard was the best.

Buddy had that. I always envied that he could type out texts so easily.

This is a little old, so the numbers may be off but recent studies I've seen show the relationship is still the same. Even with the pandemic.

https://www.jacksonville.com/story/entertainment/local/2011/11/04/dare-ask-why-are-walmart-shoppers-so-different-target-shoppers/15885022007/

[S]ome findings by consumer shopping analyst Scarborough Research:

• Target-exclusive shoppers are more likely to be female, younger and richer. For example, Target-exclusives had an average household income of about $85,000, compared to $57,000 for Walmart-exclusives, according to a 2005 survey.
• Walmart-exclusives are most likely to also be in the checkout lanes at Dollar General, Family Dollar and Big Lots, while Target-exclusives are hitting up Nordstrom, Macy's, Costco and Mervyn's.
• Walmart is big in smaller and Southern markets, while Target performs best in larger urban areas.

I'll say what I used to tell my college roommate, who used to use a room temperature oven to store food overnight: you do you, but let others know if you offer it to anyone.

Not to put too fine a point on this but I think Walmart is targeting an entirely different demographic than Target is.

On a related note, does LA Fitness sell stock? Had no idea they were even outside L.A. County.

Seen this flick a few times before, honestly.

Here's a clip of the last time someone took the wrong side on the Roberta Flack- Lauren Hill Killing Me Softly debate:

It's legit that serious to some people.

KINDERFELD posted...

Roberta Flack did all the hard work for Lauren.

NGL Lauren's version owes a lot to Roberta's. Roberta Flack started with a blank canvas and created a masterpiece.

I go with the Fugees version mostly because of the hip hop beat.

The real smoke is over whether Roberta Flack or the Fugees version is better. You can lose friends over this one.

Going with Fugees.

When I was in the 5th grade I was an extra / background character. In the 6th grade I got promoted to narrator. I just read the script off stage.

Yeah I did narrator roles. Tapped out by 5th grade though.
Meanwhile back at the farm, Sally went to feed the pigs...

At my school they had this big, burly guy from the football team play Moses in a musical once. It seemed so miscast, but nobody knew this dude could sing. I went expecting to LMAO at what I thought would be a tragedy.

Nope. Fucking Luther Vandross shit ensued. NGL, he sung his ass off.

Apparently someone got a tip the guy tore it up in choir at his church every Sunday.

Im really bummed that Abe Vigoda cant be in it

All jokes aside, it was surprising he was still around for the first flick. At least George Clinton is still with us.

Twice in elementary, with maybe 2 lines each time. No idea what I said and I was too young/dumb to be scared.

I feel like Good Burger is similar to Space Jam.
Terrible movie, but no one gives a shit about that and everyone enjoys it anyways.

It's a "feel good" movie too, IMO. Just two HS buddies making it through the summer - at work.

Can't imagine what school Kel's character went to though.

Its a shame that cashiers are being phased out.

How are we supposed to argue with and yell at a kiosk, make it cry?

We used to be a proper country

There's a new AI called ChatKaren GPT that will do the trick. The app's out any day now, I'm told.

kelemvor posted...

Those kiosks are gross. Oh, and half the time they are broken.

I'll have to Google it but someone checked them for bacteria and found actual feces particles all over those touch screens. Yuck.

Can confirm that I read the article too. Basically any public surface has shit on it. Can drive you crazy if you think too much about it.

Edgar or all the way off?

I don't know? I've always thought it was a pretty name. I had a friend named Karen in HS, and she was very sweet, funny, and laid-back. She was one of the only 2 Karen's I've ever met. I don't consider it a super common name, though I guess it's not uncommon. Heather is associated with rich, catty snobs.

Went to HS with a Heather and she fit that to a T. Heard she got busted at a school board or HOA meeting a few years back.

My HS buddy's son is a college sophomore.

Before Karen it was Becky.

Becky was a different type of public nuisance though. Karens were always with us, they just didn't have a name until recently.

Heard Sinbad had some kind of major health issue a while back. I had a teacher like the character he played.

No, I don't know he might be.

I was just kidding. I have no desire to be an actor. Sounds tougher than it looks.

Really? Guess that scandal thing went away.

Hell, I should email him for a part since he's giving out money.

I can understand K&K taking the money for the film. What I can't understand is who's paying it.
