It even makes me enjoy the reset ending of the series more.


That feels like a cheap way of taking a meh movie and attaching beloved IP to it to sell some tickets (see Ghostbusters 2016).

I think it's more of a way of tying an adaptation that by necessity must shuffle up events and elements and the orders thereof to work as a movie while not divorcing it from a source material which is all about underlying connections in storytelling. Doesn't mean it will be a good movie, but it can be an adaptation made in good faith. And really, I just like nerding out on the ramifications of made-up cosmologies.

I don't think the film is intended to portray Roland's attempt but now with the horn (It could just be but now without his hat). I've heard rumors that it doesn't take place on the same beam as the book, so that maybe after the fall of Gilead, Roland ends up on the rat-fish beam instead of the bear-turtle. And if that's true, all bet's are really off in a way.

I'm cool with the concept, just worried it looks kind of generic and blustery. hope I'm wrong, though, definitely gonna see it

Scanning through track results and came a cross a girl named Nicole Tampone. Seems like a tough burden to carry.

Wire to wire win at trivia tonight. A woman on one of the other teams showed up in a hat with a GOP elephant on it. I like the party and all, but I wouldn't wear that outside in DC. Much easier to be provocative in Phillies or Giants gear.

that's one big ship:Image


At 1,200 feet (366 meters) bow-to-stern, the COSCO Development is longer than the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. It can carry 13,000 cargo containers measuring 20 feet (6 meters) long apiece. That's 30 percent more capacity than the last record-breaking ship that sailed into Savannah last summer.

The big ship, flagged out of Hong Kong and owned by China-based COSCO Shipping Lines, is also the largest to pass through the Panama Canal following a major expansion last year. Its arrival on the East Coast shows shippers aren't waiting for the seaports scrambling to deepen their harbors so the larger ships can pass fully loaded at low tide.

The Port of Virginia, where the ship docked earlier this week, is one of only four East Coast ports with the desired 50 feet of depth at low tide. A $973 million deepening of Savannah's shipping channel started in 2015 but won't be finished for about five more years. The Port of Charleston, South Carolina, where the big ship will head next before returning to Hong Kong, plans to start its own dredging this fall.

Tuscany Pizza Market in the Cafe Court at the King of Prussia Mall closed :( . The Kid and I went there pretty much every couple weeks. Great sightseeing too.

TBF, I was never sure if this one was a Friday thread or a Mothers Day thread.

So I'm reading this article and I've not been keeping up regarding traditional funeral home and burial procedures but this just seems a little off here.

http://www.azfamily.com/story/35419845/funeral-home-criticized-for-allegedly-refusing-coffin-for-deceased-veteran

I know you can rent a coffin for a viewing and service but that is for a cremation. However, I never heard of a funeral where they would just throw you in a hole at the cemetery. Isn't there laws like needing a vault and coffin?

Between Philly, Baltimore and the south they have the craziest people running these types of operations. I mean you go into the funeral business cause either you were born into it or just plain love dealing with dead. You never go into the biz for a quick buck, that's just wrong. The dead really can't say all that much and they might come across as an easy target, but there's an unwritten rule that you just don't fuck with the dead. They will find you.
