I still don't understand why SEARS is still open? Their competitions went under in most major U.S. cities: Montgomery Ward, Foley's, K-Mart, and yet Sears just keeps chugging along! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0kSdEDZ9p8

As the day Marty McFly traveled in his DeLorean from 1985 to 2015 in “Back to the Future II” draws near, Universal Pictures continues to tease the film’s futuristic setting. The studio released a trailer for “Jaws 19,” a movie that was playing in theaters when Marty arrived in Hill Valley on Oct. 21, 2015. Even in the mid 1980s, the film was clearly making a jab at the amount of sequels popular movies inspire and the trailer continues the joke, showing how much more absurd the franchise became with each installment. The “Jaws” trailer isn’t the only way Universal is celebrating the 30th anniversary of “Back to the Future.” They’ve also released a special 30th annivers…

So now Subway will require their stores to have tape measure on hand to measure the sandwiches. Seriously??? I hope they disinfect and clean the tape measure every time before letting it touch the sandwich. My opinion: Everybody who ever bought a Subway sandwich stood there…

I want one! How much? https://www.inverse.com/article/6991-all-it-takes-to-build-thor-s-mj%C3%B6lnir-in-real-life-is-a-fingerprint-scanner-and-electromagnetism http://toyland.gizmodo.com/guy-builds-an-electromagnetic-thor-mjolnir-hammer-only-1736442960 A clever engineer used science to create a working version of Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, that only he can lift by using electromagnets, an Arduino processor and fingerprint scanners. Arthur C. Clarke once said that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Perhaps that's how Thor's hammer seems to many who've read about it in Marvel Comics or seen it in The Avengers and Thor fi…

We’re going to bet that Mary never makes the following mistakes again. —Never thank a bear for not eating your kayak, or the bear will eat your kayak. —Never pepper spray the bear when your kayak is so close. —Don’t try to reason with a bear. Bears don’t listen to reason. Oh My God. What a whiny woman!! I just wanted the bear to leave the kayak and eat her dumb butt. Don't talk to wild animals like they are a 3 years old. I love all these idiots that act like the world is ending, yet can't put their damn phones down and stop filming. This woman sounds like she wanted her video to go viral the entire time. If sh…

The seafood market clerk tells me each 4-legs cluster is about 3 lbs.+ So someone will pay over $105 to get maybe not even 8 oz of actual meat out of it! It's even more expensive than live Maine lobster or Filet Mignon!!

http://consumerist.com/2015/09/17/olive-garden-pasta-passes-sell-out-in-under-a-second-were-you-able-to-score-one/ There are 2 passes. One for $100 that allows a lone diner to eat as many plates of pasta including free drinks, breadstick, salad or soup as one can devour and make as many trips as they can between October 5th and November. Then there is one for $300 that allows the purchaser to bring up to 3 guests and everyone gets the same benefits as many times as they want to visit until the deal expires in November. Well, in the past prior to last year, every October to November, Olive Garden would had the never ending pasta bowl. It's the same prom…

As far as I'm concerned, George Barris' 1966 Batmobile is the first iconic car ever. Easily recognized from fans around the world over, this is the quintessential car of the Dynamic Duo. In my opinion, not even the latest incarnations of the Batmobile from all the movies released thus far come even close to this classic car. Bought for a measly dollar, yes, $1, what became the Batmobile was built off a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car at a cost of $30 000 and its approximate value in 1966 was $125 000. The Batmobile was auctioned off in January 19, 2013 and was sold for $4.2 M. I managed to snag this particular Elite version of the Batmobile as these are apparently ge…

Not much was left of these so I figured I grab the Hot Wheels Elite Ecto 1A before the Elite Ecto 1. Now I don't know if there will be renewed interest in acquiring these particular models, what with the upcoming Ghostbusters 3, so I figured, what the heck... Since I don't yet have the Ecto 1 (I've since received the Ecto 1 which I will cover in another post to follow), I've nothing to compare this to where the differences are concerned but we all know that a revamped Ghostbuster car was done for the movie sequel. There is the obvious added ghost busting items on the rack. The one concern that Hot Wheels addressed in the Ecto 1A was the addition of the Proto Packs on the…

Hey all, thought I'd like to share with you my other hobby, which I am picking up again but not on a regular basis. I say this because like my lightsaber hobby, this die cast car collecting can get, and is, very expensive. To this end, I'm picky as to what car I collect. Since this will be BTTF's 30th Anniversary, I thought it would be apt for me to finally get that elusive DeLorean time machine I've always wanted ever since I saw it on the small screen... Yup small screen since I, for some reason or other, totally missed BTTF's original theatrical run. After watching numerous video reviews of the DeLorean made by 3 toy companies, I settled for Hot Wheels' Elite 1:18…

R.I.P George Coe Out of all his work, I remember him most notably for his work in the animated series Archer, playing Woodhouse. As well as numerous pop ups in video games, movies and television shows, including The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Legend of Korra, Transformers: Dark of the Moon & Supernatural.

Actor Patrick Macnee, star of The Avengers TV series, has died in California at the age of 93. The Briton, best known for playing John Steed in the 1960s television series, died at home with his family at his bedside. A statement on the actor's website read: "Patrick Macnee was a popular figure in the television industry.

I was 10 years old when I watched this film and after that, I was afraid to take a bath. I still haven't once taken a bath since. Without Jaws we wouldn't have the Summer movie season and probably Star Wars would not have been as popular because Jaws was all about marketing marketing marketing. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-jaws-went-viral-in-the-1970s-2015-06-11/print
