Although I've seen people talk about that a fair amount, they won't watch a film because actor X is in it. I was simply noticing all his films are of a type I'm not interested in watching. It would seem his tastes and mine are not very compatible...Mr. Tact wrote on Oct 25, 2020, 13:31:Stiller is a side character. Don't skip it because of him.MoreLuckThanSkill wrote on Oct 25, 2020, 13:21:In order to verify my memory I just re-watched the trailer. And yeah... NO. I can absolutely guarantee you I would not enjoy that film. If it helps, back when I was big into bowling I did have the skull bowling ball... In fact, after checking IMDB, I have never seen more than maybe 10 minutes of any film Ben Stiller was in. If he had never existed, that would be fine with me.
Ugh, 1 day ban from Bluesnews for Mr. Tact and jdreyer, or until they've watched Mystery Men.

I was reading this old Alan Moore comic yesterday when I came upon an ad for "Mystery Men," a movie from 1999 I'd never heard of. Holy crap, I recognized nearly every name in the cast:
Janeane Garofalo
William H. Macy
Paul Reubens
Ben Stiller
Wes Studi
Greg Kinnear
Geoffrey Rush
Lena Olin
Eddie Izzard
Tom Waits
Looks like the movie is mediocre, but what an array of talent.

Greentiger wrote on Oct 25, 2020, 03:30:No sense in worrying, because we know it will happen. Politicians have openly reversed their stands on issues when the other party gains power and tries to implement the very thing they were claiming to support. Witness all the GOP members claiming to support protecting people with per-existing medical conditions while simultaneously supporting the lawsuit to rule the ACA unconstitutional, which in fact imposes those protections. And if ruled unconstutional will once again leave those people unprotected. Trump and others claim they will be protected, but offer no ideas how that will be accomplished.jdreyer wrote on Oct 24, 2020, 20:43:I worry about this too. I'm afraid after Trump is ousted (here's hoping) that they will go back to politics as usual. And the problem with that is, not only does no real change occur, but it will only pave the way for another Trump-like politician in the future. From both parties. The country will be the rope in a tug of war that will only erode the country.
Here's the scary thing: The Lincoln Project (anti-Trump Republicans) has been so good with their anti-Trump advertising, that I fear 2024 when they turn that talent against the Dems.

16oz glass bottles.. those were the days. I remember them all the way back to the late 60s. I'd almost swear it tasted better out of glass...
they still sell coke in glass bottles here in socal, and yes they do taste better because they're made from real sugar, not HCFS. they have a lighter sweetness, and it's more watery and drinkable than the HCFS stuff that to me is noticeably thickened because it's made from syrup.
