Major bummer. But hopefully I can find a suitable replacement. If not, I'll soldier on until I find a good deal on another. It's only a matter of time.
As for the other "deals" out there....piss.
Have a good weekend folks!
Whoever is reading this, I'm thankful.
Have a blessed day!
I'm very fortunate, at my age, to still have both my parents living. I'm grateful for that and know it won't be forever. So I'll continue to cherish every holiday I get to spend with them.
Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone!
Thankfully that didn't happen. My home site here in Monroe, picked me up and created a position to keep me. I'm very grateful for their faith and trust in me. I appreciate their support when my division didn't give me any.
I hope this is my home for another 16 years (or more) Overall, I'm thankful to retain a job that supports my family.
Today it's my friends. Rusty, John, Mikey and I have had a group chat since July 4th where we talk about topics from this blog an other stuff. I love it. They're great.
Of course I have many other friends I'm thankful for as well. Bruce and Wes from POTU podcast, my long distance friends and even one or two new ones I've made this year.
All of these people make my life more enjoyable to be in and I'm thankful for each one!
I bought an entire case because I couldn't purchase it individually.
Overall? Not bad. Not the best either. It's ok. Taste just like the candy, as I'd expect with Ghost flavors. After finishing this case however, I probably won't get it again. One, it's too hard to find and Two, I like a few other flavors better.
Either way, glad I've finally marked it off my list.
Have a good weekend folks!
But when Megan made me go get her Subway one night because there was too much food at the house to make something on our own, I stumbled up on this gem.
Mind you, Subway is the poor version of Firehouse, yet the charge the exact same prices. However, the sandwich wasn't bad at all. I actually enjoyed it. Not near as good as the one I tried at Friehouse, but still fine. I would get it again next time I walk into a Subway in 2030.
Good stuff! Excellent!!!
I loved all the toppings. Felt just like Thanksgiving leftovers. I thought the cup of gravy came with it but later discovered it was $1 upcharge. (boo!)
But I think with some gravy to dip it in, it'd taste even more amazing. Either way, this sandwich was certainly worth it and I can highly recommend anyone trying it.
Firehouse has yet to disappoint!
The result? Not bad. You can certainly taste the snickerdoodle. I'd have it once every holiday but I still prefer regular twix.
But, if it's in your area it's worth a try.
The second....hmmmm.
It takes place years later as the kids are older now and the year is 1982. Bill has found a way to come back from the dead through the "spirit" world where his victims were in the first film.
Of course this leads the children to a winter camp by the lake, where they have to discover Bill's early kills before he kills them both....from the spirit realm.
AKA: Hollywood made tons of money on the first movie and demanded a sequel and this was the best the writers could put together.
It's not bad...just pointless. The first film was good. It didn't need a sequel. But the studios demanded it, so they made another.
Again, it wasn't bad just....what else is there to cover here? There's a bit where we find out more about what happened to the children's mother but who cares??
Watch the first one, pretend this one doesn't exist.
The winner is a made man for life. Becomes super rich and gets one wish too.
Sounds interesting? Yes.
Was it good? No... not in the least.
None of the movie made sense. These kids KNEW they were going to die. So why did they sign up for it in the first place? Do you REALLY need the money that bad? Because from the very few flashbacks we see, they don't seem to be piss poor. Just living an average life.
The movie doesn't tell you much about the state of the nation at the time (just that it's "bad") and as the characters die one by one you begin to realize you don't care about a single one of them.
Not much of a back story for these folks and the stupid part about the movie is that they WANTED to help each other out. Like whenever someone was about to drop, everyone would beg them to move forward...but why? Don't you want to win and NOT DIE?!?
And why do they care about these people they just met in the first place?? Honestly, nothing about this movie made any sense.
PASS.
Have a good weekend folks!
Love it. It has everything I love. Sliding doors, navigation, Synced A/C control for front and back. a LOT of cup holders. And none of the things I hate like the automatic switch that kills your engine at stops to "save gas"
It's perfect....and now my kids want to tear it up and make a mess in it. So far, I've been able to avoid it, but if my wife has her way, she WILL a allow them to throw trash, food and spill drinks in it before long.
I'll enjoy a clean car while it last, though I doubt that will be much longer.
The film explores his life and recounts several tales of what a great guy he was. There's not really that big of a "dark side" to him and that's ok. Not every actor needs to have one. In fact, it was refreshing to hear good stories for a change.
If you were a fan of Mr Candy's, this Netflix documentary is for you.
It's a low budget movie about a serial killer, who after murdering someone in town, goes into a diner to low lay for a while. He decides to kill off the waitress but shortly after her death he finds himself walking back into the diner before everything happened....again and again and again.
They play it up throughout the film. He kills different people, everyone, himself...there's even a sequence where he tries killing the chef (who's killed the serial killer several times in the film) but can't seem to get it done (until the end) I even laughed at that scene!
The also had an interesting hook. There's someone in the diner who looks familiar but all the person does is sit and eat, without ever talking to him. It's a layer or mystery that leaves you wondering what is up.
In fact, I was prepared to like this film if they could stick the landing.
But they didn't.
Instead they shat the bed. While I was hoping he was trapped in purgatory or something strange like that (a priest appears in one of his time resets and gets a confession out of him) but instead? He's part of a super secret lab experiment the rehabilitates serial killers and they keep running him through a computer program until he reforms or goes insane.......uh what???
This movie blows. Complete waste of time.
This one comes with an exclusive pack of random cards that go into your game. Nothing to write home about but I appreciate them making a little effort to give you SOMETHING in the box instead of....just a box.
BUT, this one isn't worth the money. All 3 expansions fit but not well. The box is somehow bigger on my shelf and still overflowing like the smaller box was before it.
No change.
And this was supposed to fit everything without a problem?? I can't even get the mat in it. Maybe if I take out the terrible insert, all the bits will fit but overall...this one was a waste of money. Don't even bother getting it if you have the game and all the expansions.
Man. I really wanted to like 4. But there's so much of the story that is extremely campy. The shark roaring (which I actually liked) The mom having some magical connection with the shark (awful) and the horrible editing during character deaths and at the end when the shark dies. In fact, it's so confusing as to what's going on, that this movie may be the worst of the bunch. The worst thing about 3 was its cheesy 3-D effects. The acting and scenes hold up pretty good.
Michael Caine is in this one....but delivers an underwhelming performance. The mom from the original one is back....but she's wondering around the movie the entire time not knowing what she's supposed to do.
Again....why does a shark follow a family to kill it across the ocean?? It wasn't related to the first shark. Why would it care who it eats? Oh, speaking of, there's a "fake" death in the end that cheapens the whole feel of the movie. They wanted to "raise the stakes" at the end but copped out because they didn't want to lose a key character.
Ok, I've decided. This one is the worst.
Have a good weekend folks!
They asked Brody to come back, offering him big bucks to do another sequel and the story goes that Roy Schneider laughed over the fun and hung up in response.
He was a wise man.
This movie isn't that good, though it had a decent performance by Dennis Quaid that wasn't enough to save this film.
I do love how they finally left Aminty for Sea World. That was a good idea. What really sank this film was the early 3-D effects, that leave scenes lingering awkwardly on random objects for the effect. And a lot of it looks like trash when you watch it in 2-D. It takes you out of the movie every time!
On the other hand, Megan actually enjoyed this one. She admits that it's not as good as the previous two but she still enjoyed it.
But is it the worst in the series? Find out tomrrow.
The story goes that Roy Schneider was still under contract by Universal at the time and was forced to make the sequel (which he hated) but you couldn't tell in the film.
Once again, his performance is the highlight of the film. He's excellent. The film does well enough to avoid the same re-hash of the prior film though the formula is the same. This time the Mayor is more cautious. How to prove there's a shark is different and of course the death scene is creative too.
Another well done film, worth the re-watch.
We saw it last year in theaters. We missed it the last time it came out because it was such a busy time and by the time we were available, it was only showing at our theater at 10:40pm every night.
So we ended up watching it at home. Still a good movie. Man, Roy Schneider's performance as Brody is beyond fantastic. In fact, every character is SOLID in this film. Still the best shark movie out there. Worth watching again if you haven't seen in a while.
The sequels? I'll talk about them later.
I had to try it though, since I try every new flavor that comes out but this wasn't much different from ones I've had in the past. I was more excited to see it somewhere, than taste it I think.
Either way, it's another flavor off the list. Wish I could find some of the the other limited flavors but no one in town seems to carry them.
