Too expensive for how seldom I would use it though.

Lori Goshert @lzgoshert.bsky.social · 19h

Yeah, I know. I hope you'll show it again!

Just finished streaming Them! since I wasn't home to watch it with #Svengoolie . How many Wilhelm screams did you all count? At least four or five, I think...

I really wanted to watch this movie (Them!) with you all. I've never seen it and have been wanting to for a long time, but my daughter was invited to a birthday party so we won't be home. Will have to stream it later (Fandango at home has it). #Svengoolie

Probably Gremlins. I don't remember actually being in the theatre but I know I saw it when it came out (and I don't have many clear memories of early childhood).

"Twenty years ago on an island far, far away, a group of lawyers managed to obtain secret documents, the Epstein Files, containing names from a wretched hive of scum and villainy..."

The trailer looks great! (Although I can't help but notice the timing of Disney dropping this trailer...)

Lori Goshert @lzgoshert.bsky.social · 21d

I'm glad they won.

That's too bad that she feels that way. She did a great job. I'm up soon for a re-watch of Mando Season 3, Skeleton Crew, Andor Season 2, and Rogue One.

I just read. Usually on an e-reader to save space. I always have a long queue of books to get through, and I can get through a satisfying chunk while traveling.

A horror novel for a local book club (From Below by Darcy Coates), but looking forward to my Haymarket order that's on the way!

Ours cut away to a commercial suddenly and skipped over the ending. Will have to look it up online. #Svengoolie

There appear to be some new ones on their YouTube page.

I think the Dropkick Murphys have some.

I'm catching up on some of the Godzilla movies on Tubi before they go away at the end of the month. Right now watching Final Wars, which is kind of ridiculous but fun too. Will take a Godzilla break to catch #Svengoolie .

Lori Goshert @lzgoshert.bsky.social · Jun 22

Good point. I'm mad at all of them right now, but yeah, if the deal was still in place it might have changed things.

Lori Goshert @lzgoshert.bsky.social · Jun 22

To be honest, I'm not confident that she, Biden, or Harris would have done anything differently in this particular scenario. Trump is just more crass about it. The Democratic presidents have done a shitload of bombing themselves. (Comparing Trump to a dove was obviously idiotic, though.)

Agreed. I hoped so hard this wouldn't happen but knew it would. No one wants this except weapons companies. #Svengoolie

Haven't seen this one. Hope my TV's reception holds up! #Svengoolie

I've used it, but didn't like that the desktop version wanted me to update it every other month (and I hate typing on my phone).

Reading it now!

It was also written against perverted men who were being creeps toward her and Ann (and a little blue bird just told everyone who's on the Epstein list, so...)
