The remake I'd love to see would be The Neverending Story, and yeah it would have to be two parts. If you read the book, you know it would need that kind of time.

Tubi is phenomenal. You can watch the best of Herzog, Kurosawa and Bong Joon-Ho alongside stuff like Frankenhooker and Monsturd. Make it a Terrifier / Living in Oblivion night.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

We lost something as a culture when all the licensed anime tie-in videogames became gambling phone games instead of jank-ass Psychic Force knockoffs

The "Golgo 13" anime (from 1971) will be released on Blu-ray in Japan.
This series was considered lost until the masters were found two years ago.

Younger man, if he’s heard this before: “Don’t call me son ‘less you put me in the will.”

Dairy Queen, Iowa City, Iowa. Established 1952. The place was destroyed by a tornado in 2006. Using only photos to go on, the owners had the neon sign recreated as close as possible to its vintage appearance.

not the main point but it should be illegal to interview someone more than 3 times for the same position
3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

The last two generations don't understand how huge Bart Simpson was where you could have bootleg Bart for any occasion. I'd have loved to have seen a bootleg Naruto or Goku dressed up for the Afgan War or Florida Spring Break.
