Happy Birthday Mate!

DREDD is the better film. JUDGE DREDD is a fun romp, but in no way comparable to the comics (Dredd never shows his face!!!). Also, Rob Schneider? Really?

Have you had Palmer's chocolate? It's terrible. It makes Nestle and Hershey's look like gourmet candy. It mostly gets sold at the holidays, especially their Easter bunnies. The candy itself is sort of like chocolate-flavored wax. I have to really be jonesing for chocolate to eat much of it.

My thoughts exactly. It's like the folks behind this remake have no sense of what's actually scary.

Nope. I drive a minivan. Because I'm so metal! Actually, I had a co-worker who used to tease me about driving around the schoolyards with bowls full of candy. I told him I was just driving the van until I could afford an ice cream truck to snatch children. Suddenly, I feel the need to remind...

Conrad Veidt was such a fantastic actor. There are scenes in this film where his eyes portray such sadness, and you see it even as he wears his permanent smile. A wonderful movie.

I'm about to watch ARROW from last night. I just got caught up on the last few weeks' worth of THE FLASH and LEGENDS OF TOMORROW. Then I have about five episodes of SUPERGIRL I need to get caught up on. It's hell being in a fandom.

I don't know about Dunkin Donuts, since I haven't been to one in years. But our local bakery sells doughnut holes that are amazing. You can get a dozen at a pretty reasonable price. All covered in cinnamon sugar. Delicious.

Alas, I won't be getting any English chocolate. Last year, our government passed a bill - pushed forward by Hershey's - to ban the import of it. See, apparently, Hershey's was angry because the sale of the imported chocolate was causing them a loss in sales, so instead of, oh, I don't know...

Not a deli, but there is a store about an hour away that specializes in British food. If ever I get down there, I'll have to look.

I know absolutely nothing about this film, but I think I need to watch it.

I am so using that, mate.

I remember discussing Holly with some friends, and how we figured he would have had a career pretty similar to Johnny Cash. He would have had low level fame, only to have a resurgence in the 90s with a producer like Rick Rubin. I couldn't have seen Monroe having as much success later on. As...

I would like to think not. I certainly didn't vote for him. I refuse to vote for sexual predators like Cheeto Jesus.

If it's written by Timothy Zahn, I have probably read and loved it (I know of two I haven't yet read, and will remedy that as soon as possible). Death Star is a really great book, detailing the lives of a motley group who work on the station in different capacities and escape just before its...

What books in the STAR WARS Extended Universe (now Legends) do you have a fondness for? Which ones left you wanting to throw the book at a hobo? Any comics/graphic novels of note?

I've always wanted to try eel, but, alas, being landlocked in the middle of 'Murica, there's no place I can find it. I do love me some salmon, though. All of you living outside of the States don't know. We are bred to love pumpkin. Starting in late August, when Halloween and Christmas...

I just don't know. I haven't been wowed by the pictures I've seen of Bill in costume. But, King himself has seen it, and says fans have nothing to worry about. So I'll give it a chance. I'm just a huge Tim Curry fan, so it'll be a challenge.
