Don't blame Hulu for making a good decision regarding Great Wall.

The problem I’ve found with Hulu is that they will advertise they have a show when they actually don’t because it’s available on one of their add-on channels. So when you look it up it says it’s there, but when you click it it says you need Starz—which isn’t remotely the same thing. I guess they do it to look like they carry more movies than they do..?

“Excuse me! My eye is up here!” said the female Cyclops with the big juggs

Okay so I finally got to listen to the episode and can easily bring some prison/crime expertise to this thread and what was discussed on the show. In regards to the sentence Byrne received, I'm assuming the term murder is being used generally to describe his crime, which is most likely negligent homicide/involuntary manslaughter which carries a sentence of 6 months to a decade on average. I'm guessing it was like in Con Air where a fight broke out between two parties, in this case Byre and the guy sleeping with his wife, and in the course of the fight the other guy died by accident, like he fell and cracked his head on something. But rather than put that time and effort into explaining why he was behind bars. the writer just went with murder which in turn just creates more questions. As for his drawing setup in his cell, that is a non-plausible thing as depending on the state, most prison cells aren't bigger than a small storage unit, usually 6' x 10'. Some newer facilities are going with a dorm style unit, called pods, which house around 6 inmates, and those are much larger in size. But that doesn't mean one guy can prop his shit up and just take over space, that will get his ass kicked in no time flat. Also, an inmate can make money while in prison from a personal business venture, they just can't make money off of their crime. A recent example was when OJ Simpson wrote his book If I Did It a couple years back that was very controversial, but he was able to write it and make money off of it as he was acquitted in his criminal trial. Tex Watson of the Manson family tried to do a similar thing at my facility a few years back with both a manuscript and I think some paintings, and that shit got shut down quickly because it was directly linked to his crimes, he also received some additional charges if I recall because of the back channel ways that he was trying to do it. So for a guy like Byrne to just be writing a comic book series and having it sold, that's completely fine, I mean at my facility there are a few guys who have self published books or have sent art out for sale, and they're able to as it doesn't pertain to their crimes.

Mamma Mia is currently streaming on Starz. If you don't have Starz, Redbox (which is free) is offering one month of Starz free if you sign up for the app (Plus three disc rentals, although I can't imagine any one wanting to touch physical media at the moment). It's also currently on sale for 4.99 on iTunes, but I think that price will end tomorrow.

Don't worry Cam I noticed that too (well the snake-eyes-turning-into-3s part) and was like "that's dumb".

Basically, this is Memento, but Guy Pearce is John G (Joey Pants). The protagonists of both are amnesiacs who murder people based on manipulated memories of a murdered wife.

I think someone mentioned it in the episode? Or am I... delirious?

The movie Paul wanted this to be exists, albeit in soap opera rather than comic book form. In 1991's Delirious, John Candy plays a soap opera writer who gets in a car accident and (Jacob's Ladder scenario) wakes up in his soap opera. He soon realizes that, as the writer, he has the ability to manipulate events within the soap opera reality. I saw it when I was a kid, so I can't really judge how good of a movie it is, but it came out shortly before Cool World so the idea was right there for the taking.

A real American health issue.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, Sister 2 Sister, Grimes to Musk

It's also on Hulu according to the interwebs but I would not be surprised if they were lying liars who lie, because I've had some major issues with things not being on Hulu lately (looking at you The Great Wall...)

TIL “So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright” is actually about penis size.

I already expressed my disagreement with Amy on this film back in the Canon days, but I'd like to agree with those people who don't think it's "out of nowhere" or requires explanation for Henry to care about his brother or want to make the sauce right. Those are normal things which don't require exposition to establish. Henry's criminal activities are unusual, and that's what the film mostly focused on, only showing this other side of him when that intersected with his criminal life collapsing. I also don't really think of On the Waterfront as being a comparable "mob movie", since the main characters aren't really mobsters.

Amazon also has the first one to buy for $4.99 for HD quality. Vudu has SD, HD and UHD (4k) for $7.99. Amazon has the 2nd in HD for $7.99. Vudu has all three qualities for $14.99. All of them are linked through Movies Anywhere. Buying it in one spot makes it available elsewhere.

I have a nit to pick. Since ABBA is a palindrome, shouldn't the movie's title be a palindrome? (The palindrome for "Mamma Mia" is "Notlob".)

I'm very sorry for the long delay. I was in the hospital again for over a week. I don't want to let this week go by without discussing 7:35 in the Morning. So, what the heck was the "meaning"? As far as I can tell he was holding the cafe-goers hostage, having shown them his suicide vest? But if that was the case why was the one guy the only one who trembled and couldn't deliver his lines?

Maybe Goodfellas was already spoiled for me because of the Goodfeathers segments on Animaniacs.

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, I’m new around here. But I have to talk about the FLOUR FIGHT! The second the film made sure we knew this was flour filling the tunnel with dust I rubbed my hand together in excitement, waiting for the big giant flour explosion that never came! Flour is flammable! We’ve known the dangers of flour dust for 150 years since the first mill explosions and grain elevator explosions and it’s even been used as a film plot (Equalizer 2!). Dust bags with squibs inside are how film makers make practical explosion effects! This fight looked cool, and was probably the high point of the movie. But I’m forever furious for the lack of flour ignition!
