I think I've seen those Twinkies around here, Epic. I'll keep an eye out when I go grocery shopping this weekend.
Thanks, Sail!
Good to hear the positive reviews of Star Trek, going to see it tonight.
P.S. Sail, is Ellen M. on Fitbit you?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know what the heck is going on with my local independent theater -- they never had Ghostbusters, and have Bourne on the big screen this week. Star Trek is in a smaller theater. So I guess I'll see The Lobster!

The Lobster, you guys. Anyone else see it? That was some weird shit, and either the perfect or the worst movie to see alone.

I've been debating. Based on my boyfriend's description, I didn't think I'd like it, but I feel I'll regret not seeing it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I was interested, but a friend said she found it deeply unpleasant and upsetting.

I did not find it upsetting, but maybe equally enjoyable and unpleasant? I don't know, I laughed and also gasped with WTF. I would say I liked it, but that's such a milquetoast word to use for such a wild experience!
But I think I only find real-life stuff actually upsetting, for what that's worth.

ION, I don't understand why they would need to make a gender-swapped Splash remake with Channing Tatum, when Ryan Lochte exists? [link]

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I saw a drive-in double feasture of Jason Bourne and Star Trek Beyond Friday night. A group of us sat in lawn chairs in front of the speakers up near the screen, so we had a great view of the mess that was Jason Bourne. At the end of it, my friend's 17 year-old son turned to me and asked "Did you understand any of that?" Now granted the neither he nor I had seen any of the previous Bournes, but when even your target audience is wondering what the hell just happened...
We had gone for Star Trek , and it was okay. Liked the character stuff, and unlike the first two it actually felt like Star Trek. But I kept losing my suspension of disbelief in the action scenes. There was some stunningly bad science and logic holes, even for Trek, and it kept throwing me out of the experience.
