Not sure if you can stream Lost in the UK. Perhaps Tubi. I always tell people (going in blind) to just start with the pilot and see if it interests you ‘cause if the pilot doesn’t leave you wanting to watch more, then it’s probably not worth continuing. It sucked me in and it was awesome to watch it week-to-week and discuss fan theories with people.

They can try but there will never be a show like it again.

Have got the older Shout Blu-ray release of the original Stepfather (not the more recent combo pack). Watched it and the other two parts of the trilogy for the first time last year (Stepfather III was from a television airing). Found the original to be very, very good In an ideal world there would be a deluxe boxset release of the trilogy if the original camera negative can be found for the second and third parts. Another Terry O'Quinn film that I saw for the first time last year (and which was also very good) was Pin.

When I was at secondary school, at first you were either an X-Files or Babylon 5 fan, then either an X-Files or Buffy fan. Millennium was certainly different, and while I still think the last season is my least favourite it's still better than some of the shows I've seen in more recent times (just my opinion).

The first 4 seasons of B5 are pretty good. The show I can’t stand is Farscape. Too many puppets.

Ever since I came back from my trip to Tenerife last month I've had a hankering for more overseas travel despite the insane amount of time spent waiting on lines at airports and flying in planes. I'd never been to Europe before. I was giddy as a kid when our plane hit Portugal. I thought to myself, wow so that's Europe? Looks just like Virginia lol. Dunno, it may seem silly to most people but to me the whole thing was exciting.

Strange day. I was on the throne this morning doing my business and heard a noise. Then I heard it again. I immediately knew it was a squirrel on the freaking roof. I ran outside and the bastard ran along the gutters and jumped down sprinting into the woods.

In the afternoon I saw one climbing up a tree with something in its mouth. I tracked him to a nest high up in a tree where there’s a nest. As long as he stays there, I won’t blow him away.

Meanwhile…I’m at Walmart looking for a thank you card and came across this.



It’s like I’m cursed!

'Enjoy' would be the wrong word to use here, but this ongoing problem you're having with the squirrels "sfmarine" I'm finding one of the nice distractions on here when being tested by negative stuff. I've seen bits of the two Caddyshack films, but I can remember Bill Murray's character, I think, having problems with an animal on the golf course (memory's a bit rusty).

[OceanBlue]

In a way, I'm glad the first quarter of this year has been light to very light with announcements from some boutique labels and the VS Partner labels that I'm interested in (can count on one hand how many Partner label titles I want to get). Regarding the Warner Archive, just film Mystery Street I'm interested in getting from the announcements this week (another Ricardo Montalban-starring film, Border Incident, is on my WAC titles want list).

Quiet period now regarding the regular monthly cycle of boutique label announcements (Radiance next Wednesday), which I'm glad about as it gives you time to take in the announcements we've had recently.

Going back to Ricardo Montalban, it's made me think of Friday nights back in the late-eighties when you had Dynasty on alternate weeks with The Colbys (sometime during the rest of this year I'll resume re-watching Dynasty, then start re-watching The Colbys soon after).

Caddyshack is rumored to be coming out this year in 4K. The animal was a gopher and also a bastard.

The one movie that’s as quoted as or more so than Caddyshack is the even better and even funnier Friday, which came out 15 years later. Too bad The Player’s Club isn’t nearly as popular as these two movies, as I also prefer it to Caddyshack.

My Stepmom was a huge fan of Dynasty. Would watch it and Knot's Landing religiously. My mom was that way with Dallas. Up until the whole Bobby dream thing. She quit after that. Speaking of Ricardo Montalban, he was on an episode of The Golden Palace. He was an owner of a competing hotel who had the hots for Blanche. You know, for an inferior show, The Golden Palace had it's share of FAMOUS guest stars. George burns, Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Dick Patton, and Ned Beaty. It also had an appearance from Bill Engvall playing one of Blanche's sons. The regulars weren't too shabby either. Don Cheadle and Cheech Marin.

Oh man, today is supposed to be a no-spend day and it still could be but I have walked by some food places including Papa John’s and I’m not sure I’m strong enough to not stop

I would have no trouble walking past the majority of chain restaurants that you frequent. I like dining out, but I much prefer to visit local eateries. I almost always find the food to be orders of magnitude better and I like supporting local restaurants.

How dare you insult America!! lol jk but I like the places I frequent. I’m leaving the Allstate office now and I think I can go catch the bus without getting anything but not sure. There is a Fove Guys nearby and it’s been awhile since I’ve eaten there.

German boutique label Plaion Pictures posted on their Facebook page earlier that their Magnum television series Blu-ray boxset has been pushed back to the end of June. Glad about this, partly because I'd rather they sort out any problems they've caught early, and get everything done right.

One of my favourite actors on Dynasty who I wish had stayed on longer was Christopher Cazenove (played Blake's brother Ben).

One of the soap opera drama series I haven't seen is Flamingo Road (the cast included Mark Harmon, along with some actors who would later appear in other Lorimar series (John Beck (Dallas), Howard Duff (Knots Landing) and Morgan Fairchild (Falcon Crest).

Knots Landing is my favourite out of the ones I've seen (they chose not to do the same as Dallas

[Show spoiler](instead carrying on as if the Dallas character had been killed off and it wasn't a dream season).

I do remember seeing some of The Golden Girls on TV here but not The Golden Palace.

A couple of short-lived series I'm hoping get physical media releases (but I think it's unlikely now) are Frank's Place (a series Tim Reid did after he left Simon & Simon) and Jack and Mike (the cast including Shelley Hack (a few years after Charlie's Angels ended).

The Warner Archive released the first four seasons of Head of the Class on DVD, but still no sign of the fifth season three years on.

Yes, I saw that on the Arrow Video Facebook page earlier. I'd rather they get their release done right, instead of there being a problem later on that requires a replacement disc program. The delay means that unless For a Few Dollars More also gets delayed, the gap between the UK release of A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More won't be as much.

I normally could eat at either, but ever since California's $20/hr wage for fast food workers, my wife and I have been more frequently going to local restaurants. I'm not going to pay $17 for one burger combo at Jack or Carl's. We have a local Chicago and New York pizza place here with co-owners from said states that serve some of the best pizza I've ever had, and I've been happily contributing to help keep them in business. When I do go to a chain, it's usually a sit down place like Chili's.

well last night i was on my account peacock saw a notice saying got Premium Plus? We’re simplifying your billing so you’ll see fewer charges per billing cycle. Any offer pricing you have will carry over until the offer expires

We are in the process of simplifying your billing so that you will get fewer charges per billing cycle. Previously, your charges for Peacock Premium and the Plus option may have been on different dates.



Beginning with your next billing date, we will charge you the total price for Premium Plus as one charge each month.



Your new billing date will be the later of your two current billing dates. Please note, any offer pricing you have will carry over until the offer expires, at which point you will be billed the current retail price for Premium Plus.

i remember always in the past even last month when i click on change plans it will have checkmark premium plus 13.99 along with checkmark premium and i always stuck with premium <-that no longer exist

i went into chat basically said true if want to get premium plus don't have to pay 7.99 premium and premium plus 13.99 with taxed at different days

seems now only 2 options 1 7.99 and 13.99<- i been longer for this moment the thing is i didn't know this until i paid premium yesterday and i didn't want them refund wait few days and upgrade to plus

now i was told that i couldn't upgrade plan but i still see options button to upgrade plan so i'm thinking about before time is up on 4th next month if i can upgrade instead cancel and do premium plus 13.99 plus taxes hope can i know my brother was never a fan of me having premium<-him and oldest daughter besides my mom using my account

seems they just started this new thing peacock this month btw anybody used premium plus i think might still get ads time to time despite it saying no ads on some stuff

heck next month i gotta pay for that new amc deal seeing 4 movies at once anyways
