Yeah. There certainly wasn’t too many people you rooted for in the movie. So odd, can I say it wasn’t an enjoyable movie, but I thought it was very good?

I’m a huge Sandler fan and couldn’t even finish the movie. Thought it was horrible and didn’t understand the hype.

Finally got around to checking out Cobra Kai. Burned through S1 in one night. Johnny’s turn on a dime Jekyll & Hyde bit is mildly annoying, but this is the most entertaining show I’ve seen in a while.

Just started this one so no spoilers please.
It finally showed up on Netflix. Have heard a lot of great things about it.

You’re right in the wheelhouse for this one (as are, I suspect, a large number on this board). Gonna love it.

Well, I found out something new about Star Wars...although I like the movies, I am not a fanatic who knows all the trivia.

I have seen every James Bond movie on opening night since Moonraker when my dad took me. For the last 25 years or so I've taken a vacation day on Opening Day. Same thing for the Pink Panther franchise since PP Strikes Again (although there may have been one of those that I saw as a Saturday matinee).

Was I supposed to type something here?
Here's a good trivia question for you: Which noted publishing house did the honors for Frank Herbert's opus?
*Yeah, I know nobody cares. Chilton Publishing, which up to that time had been the go-to source on fixing your old bucket of bolts. From the "'76 Buick Regal" to DUNE was quite a departure for them.

Wait, they were an auto parts provider that then suddenly turned to publishing??

Actually, they were the publishers of car repair guides. Generally a phone-book sized tome that was a complete guide to your car, with exploded diagrams and guides to how it all went together. Very useful stuff.
They're still around: http://chilton.cengage.com/

so if it was a good trivia question why did you answer it and not allow anyone to try to answer?
BrewingFrog

Because I am a certified curmudgeon, and in these sad days of Google there's no benefit to being a repository of trivial facts. And my wine glass is empty...
Damn.
