      Lando stole the show! You would have sworn he was a young Billy Dee.

      Lots of callbacks. Lando dropped the titles of every L Neil Smith "Lando Calrissian and the ..." book, which was a hoot. Movie was OK, solid C+ which could have been a better TV show.

      I am looking forward to seeing it along with Deadpool 2.

      That'd be pretty neato to see Clerks in a theater! I saw Mallrats there :)

      ^ I don't think a guilt trip was the intention. To me it seemed more like just trying to provide people with an accurate perspective on how the world really is. How you feel about that perspective afterwards is up to you. I did a little trial and error research and discovered that USD $32,400 a year and up is the 1%, and I don't personally know anyone who makes that much.

      There was something about that in one of the Sheriff's dreams in No Country for Old Men. Life is money. Also the father is a double methaphor for father and creator - as parents are creators

  8. How can there be a cumulative update for a feature pack that was just installed yesterday?

      Windows 10 is people; people is Windows 10! yeah most of the feature updates are pointless. Better security is the only feature most people want -- only achievable with Windows 10S or if they come out with a totally new OS from scratch.

      What's a "Windows 10"?

  10. May the 4th be with you.

      At the bank today, a lady said, "May the Force be with you!"...I was wearing a Star Wars shirt.

  11. Infinity War is the most blatant case of false advertising since the film 'The Neverending Story'.

    1. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      I get the joke, but "The Neverending Story" wasn't false advertising; people just misunderstood what it was referring to.

    2. save2600

      save2600

      So the Neverending Story ended?

    3. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      It's called "The Neverending Story" not because the movie lasts forever, but because everyone who sees it becomes part of the story. Remember Atreyu's conversation with the Childlike Empress ...

  13. Waiting on the work computer to stop installing updates. It's stuck at 100% for the last half hour. Stupid Windows 7.

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      time for some percussive maintenance

    2. Master Phruby

      Master Phruby

      It turns out that running disk cleanup and shutting down and restart will make it think there were updates and take forever to install. It took an hour plus a cleaning up screen to get back to login.

  14. My XBox 360 R2-D2 edition will be here tomorrow!

      I highly recommend the Machette order, Ep. 4,5,2,3 & 6.

  16. 8800+ people bought the Jabba Sail Barge. I wonder how many of those will show up on ebay next year.

    1. save2600

      8799 - and all will be listed as "rare". lol

      The rarest ones will be the ones people actually play with...

      Ordered! (Joking)...It includes "fan accessible decks"...So, what, If you're not a fan, you Can't see inside?

    4. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      POINT: A big thing like that, at that price, really should come with a lot more figures, maybe some exclusives.

       

      COUNTERPOINT: anyone willing to spend $500 on a Star Wars toy either has all the needed figures already, or the means to acquire them.

  18. Rad Racer or Pole Position II ?

      ^You're literally using pieces of paper printed with your name, address, and account and routing numbers. If that's not access, I don't know what is.

    3. atarian63

      atarian63

      if you have a dispute with a vendor (which I have on occasion) they just put through what they like, hard to stop so just give no access. neither is a great choice .

      Except Diamond's was unauthorized and had to pay Universal $20k for the rights.

      That's small potatoes compared to the $20-25 million Atari supposedly paid for the rights to make a video game based on the movie.

      It might have been re-recorded around the same time as Pac-Man Fever, some time in the late 90s. Gary Garcia (lead vocalist) passed away in 2011.

      They've been having a sale in the UK for the past couple of weeks. Sadly, no stores are close enough to warrant a trip over there.

      Does seem strange that Toys R Us will no longer be around. I had fun working in the Security Ticket Booth part-time when I was in college some eons ago.
