I don't understand this at all.

Same! I googled it for like 2 seconds but gave up.

Id say they focused on the WRONG people. I like the science folks just trying to give Zilla powerup juice. 

This is exactly what I said to Nick!!

But yeah, didn’t care about the weird American family. They were just filler but the scenes with the monsters were more than worth the price of admission for me. I loved the fights!

ANNE PERKINS!

@The NZA and I have been watching Parks and Rec while we eat dinner most nights. I’ve seen it but it’s his first time! I forgot how much I love this show. It’s not always full of belly laughs but it’s just so...pleasant. And Leslie is such an awesome character, I love re-watching her story. He doesn’t know anyone who joins the show in later seasons so I’m excited to see him experience certain characters! 

On my own, I binged Dead to Me and loved it even though the story is like soap opera ludicrous. It’s just awesome to see Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini doing good work again!

I tried watching The Society because the premise was so interesting (and felt Twilight Zone-y) but I gave up after two episodes. I just didn’t care much about the characters. 

I need some good summer binge shows!

I want that Spidey Homecoming set!

1. Pattinson has been using his post-Twilight visibility to really do some interesting things as an actor...

This. Also, so has Kristin Stewart but that's a conversation for another thread!

But yeah, Pattinson's been crushing the indie scene. He even got some Oscar buzz for his role in Good Time. This article sheds some light on his post-Twilight career. Has this been officially confirmed because every headline I'm seeing is different. I'd honestly prefer him to Nicholas Hoult. I'm interested to see what he does with it!

So I'm almost two years late to this game, but I signed up for a free trial of CBS just to watch this series.

 

I'm not loving it. It doesn't feel like Stark Trek. To be honest...it doesn't feel much like anything. It got very serious, very soon and I'm not really feeling the characters. It seems as if they're trying to convince us of too much too soon. That being said, I'm not hating it either. I guess I haven't formed an opinion either way. But, I'll keep watching. At least until the free trial is over.

Gotta love free trials! I did a trial of HBO on Hulu just to catch that MJ doc. Just don't forget to cancel!

so it'll be pricy but worth it, you can go to like a hobby lobby or michaels or wherever and get custom frames. I've been considering it for my Infinity Gauntlet promo poster from '91 because it's a strange size. 

Please never go to Hobby Lobby. 

Team Potbelly. 

@The NZA are we gonna hate-watch this?

This was really great. There was only a stretch in the middle-ish...

...that I was like "okay, how long are we gonna be doing this?" and kinda checked the clock a bit because it dragged. But it picked right back up after that and had such a satisfying ending. I'm so glad I managed to avoid some pretty huge spoilers! 

Happy to see Zilly hasn't slimmed down at all. I can't wait to watch that chubby bastard tear some shit up!

Bottom line: I want to see Lupita in more stuff.

YES. 

Damn. These problems before shooting even begins are never a good sign. But here's hoping the new showrunners are great and they do it justice! I need to go back and finish the series. I was really enjoying it!

This looks absolutely beautiful. But despite having seen the original 25 years ago, I'm not ready to watch Mufasa die again. It's too soon. 

Definitely watching this! I love love LOVE the Addamses and welcome a new version after all this time. Not 100% sold on Charlize's Morticia voice yet but Oscar Isaac's Gomez sounds so much like Raul Julia (esp that laugh!), it makes me sad but also really happy. I LOVE Wednesday's noose braids. So happy to see Lurch and Thing too! I really hope this is awesome!

I'm here for all of it. @The NZA, opening night? It comes out for Halloween!! I'll wear my Wednesday dress!

NZA and I caught this last night. It's a really fun movie, just fun enough to be enjoyable despite glaring, eye-roll inducing, contrived plot points. I think it was helped by a likeable cast- Zachary Levi and Jack Dylan Grazer (who looked so familiar and I'm JUST NOW realizing was in Stephen King's It). They're both really charismatic and easily carry a simple origin story. Was hard to take the villain seriously because he looked like an evil Stanley Tucci, but even still, it was a fun/funny ride and worth seeing in theaters.

But who’s playing Ein?

My jet-lagged brain can't really put a finger on why I didn't like the trailer. It just seemed a little heavy-handed maybe? Not sure, but I still really want to see the movie. Joker is my favorite character of all time and after Leto's take,  I'm ready for something different. Something hopefully much better!

Cool, if I see any "buttons"  you might like as well as pins, I'll let you know.

Please do!

But how do ye differentiate between these and buttons on a shirt?

That’s a good question and I’m trying to think of a time it’s come up but I’ve rarely gotten them confused. I guess we just get it based on the context! 

But yes, I do have a button/badge collection! I never meant to start collecting these but I do pick them up at specialty stores, get them at political events or on my travels! 

These are Nick’s that he has pinned to an Irish flag in our living room:

Some cool pieces there. Do you collect badges as well, or just enamel pins?

Thanks! Do you mean badges like patches that are ironed or sewn on? I have a couple but I don’t collect them! I’m all about the enamel pins!
