I think I watched it, like, once
It didn't strike me as all that bad, but it didn't seem especially memorable

I keep seeing Mercedes-Benz Sprinters around here lately
It's funny; for a long time I only really saw the Dodge-branded version around here, but I guess since that's been discontinued the businesses that liked it (like Fedex) moved to the original Mercedes ones

DreamWorks has been pretty much desperate for Turbo to be a franchise. They put a TV series, Turbo F.A.S.T., on the slate and sold the broadcast rights to it around the world (it will be on Netflix in the U.S.) before the movie even came out!

Seems straightforward enough, until you realize it's warning of a dead end that won't come for almost 8 more miles.
My only guess is that they didn't want to mislead people into thinking that "Mansfield Road" still continues on to Mansfield as it would have before the lake was built.
my thoughts: the real problem with music downloading, the one that will be hardest to tackle, is that now in a lot of places its socially expected that people know about a shit ton of music. like, far more than anyone except the richest dudes would be able to buy. everyone has 700 artists in their last.fm these days. how do you reconcile the new expectations of music fans' knowledge with giving the artists enough money to continue producing their music?
well what its moving towards is you have everyone using streaming services like spotify to let them discover and sample this huge range of music, and artists make shit all out of it. and then they have to hope that they pick up a real rabid hardcore fanbase who will bbuy CDs, vinyls, go to shows, buy merch etc. just because they love the band. thats where artists will make money i think. in a sense its sad, but it allows bands like Kayo Dot who have a relatively very small following, but one that really loves what they do, to continue recording without labels and stuff..... the tiny bands doing unique relatively niche things can carve out a little niche like that. it's not like its easy though

This is absolutely true. I hadn't really thought of it before, but that is right on the money. Thank you.

I was talking about Smurfs, and how apparently there is a Smurfs 3 in the works, and even with international sales, Smurfs 2 has only done about 50% over it's production budget.

Apparently the Smurfs movies where always set to be a trilogy, so I'm guessing Smurfs 3 was in the works well before anyone knew how well Smurfs 2 would do.

In the long run, being an honor roll student isn't exactly going to help much.
It MAY help get a college scholarship and good grades can mean some of your tuition is payed for by the school, but it's not exactly going to come into play once one is in the working world.
i'm finally listening to the one Olan Mill album i havent heard yet and how the fuck do they keep doing it. every olan mill song is so amazing. it's romantic and gorgeous and wonderful and beautiful and hopeful and it isn't trying to be any of those things. it's no more trying to be them than a rose or a tree tries to be them. it just is. god i love olan mill

2 things:
1) Twain seems mighty comfortable with using the N-word. I know it was a different time but damn.
2) How are you going to take people for ransom if you don't even know what ransom means? :P
Note: My father is not racist in the slightest.
It's not as obvious as the whole poking fun at suburb life thing the movie has going on, but still.
On a tangentially related note, I miss being an honors kid.
Also it's times like these where SparkNotes is especially helpful. I caught some of the humor Twain wrote but definitely not on the level they did.
i finally caved and got spotify unlimited
its bad for artists really but its a good service for £5 a month, all that music......
