Are these official release DVDs? If so, that's great, and hopefully the BDM will show up down there as well.
eta Well, it's great even if they're unofficial, but I'd rather have FF making official inroads in other places than not.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
meara lives above a 7-11 convenience store. The mind?
It boggles. A 7-11, for all the un-Americans, is the least romantic franchise-chain establishment on the planet. They specialize in selling chili-dogs (a concoction that makes English and German cooking look Good) and cigarettes.
Emphasis? On the cigarettes.
Meara does not have a life that is prosaic in the way that a 7-11 is prosaic.
I think they call this sensation "cognitive dissonance."

Actually, we have 7-11's in Australia too Gus!
As franchises go, I like 7-11's actually, it's comforting to know there's somewhere you can go to buy milk at 3 in the morning.

You see, Gus? When I get home from my crazy cavorting at 1:30AM (like last night), or 5:30AM (like last Saturday), there's always a store open if I need a slurpee or some caffeine or a doughnut...it's most convenient.

Just went through an intensive immersion-style course in conversational German.
My internal syntax is at war with itself. Internal syntax is with itself warring.

I am working a sad vibe behind the fact that 7-11 is everywhere. 7-Eleven for me is the primary token of dehumanised, franchised human interaction. The clerks are terrified of the customers (in the States), so they put on a "You best not be thinking of fucking with me!" attitude.
The food? Wonderbread and Rice-A-Roni. Coffee in a styro-foam cup, boiled down to its most bitter essence.
Microwave burritos.
Gah.
