Jesus!! you're still alive!


Btw that actor is 83, I'm genuinely surprised he's alive

The "heat index" here in NYC Friday and Saturday will be 110-115 degrees as MP enjoys the Hawaiian islands weather!

Ugh..don't forget to hydrate! It's SO nice here-I dunno if anyone here has been to Hawaii(the Big Island) or any of the other islands(Maui,Oahu, etc.) but if you have you know what I'm talking about.It's gonna be hard to go back home!

It's very expensive to live in Hawaii. Will you visit all 5 islands?

Nope.Just the Big Island(Hawaii)..but I definitely want to come back and go to the others at some point!

what's the food like? Any local dishes that surprise?


Thinking of new exotic dishes reminds me of a
Weird allergy story, I worked at a national park as most young around here do at some point, somehow I ended up working at park restaurant some 8k feet up, very cool. We had a few local cuisine dishes featured thing was we'd have to warn the customers about certain ingredients, pinon nuts local peppers stuff like this, there's a hotel next to the restaurant area where many stay as they visit the park, it became legend among the staff of the rare cases of people dying from allergic reactions to stuff we commonly ate. Sad part is it's true mostly because it takes paramedics so long to get there the ranger station only has so much for emergencies.

Apparently the folks who'd work the winter shift where they'd be snowed in from time to time had some real wild stories of guests freaking out.

There's a local favorite seasoning,Li Hing Mui, which is made out of preserved plums.It's one of those things you'll either love or hate (it's sour and salty and sweet) and it's good on anything!(especially sour gummy candy!)They even use Li Hing instead of salt on margarita glasses!

Sorry didn't finish my thought, there are some islander dishes they put in a pit in the ground or wrap up. Fascinates me as much as these Norwegian dishes that use the acidic nature lemon to cook the fish.

Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway have joined the cast of 'Ocean's Eight'.

The trio, along with Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina aka Nora Lum, have signed up to star alongside previously-announced cast members Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett in the upcoming movie, a spin-off from 'Ocean's Eleven', Deadline reports.

The movie will begin filming in New York in October, although casting on the project - which will be directed by Gary Ross - is not yet complete, with 'Hunger Games' star Elizabeth Banks rumoured to be in the frame for a role.

There is also the possibility of cameo appearances from stars of the 2000s trilogy, which featured the likes of George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon.

Plot details have yet to be announced, but according to reports, the film will revolve around a heist at the Met Gala.-----------(they never learn in Hollywood Another classic film being rebooted and feminized to not exempt the females of the world from successful male oriented films.)

Next week Ben-Hur will bomb. You cannot remake an iconic classic just for the hell of it and the originals are far better made than the modern day versions Hollywood has been attempting to capitalize on. Morgan Freeman does not belong in Ben-Hur either! ........Suicide Squad down 67.3% this weekend too

I saw the trailer for the Ben-Hur remake when I went to see Star Trek Beyond. Mrs Kristatos and I both looked at each other and made comments along the lines of "Who the hell thought this was a good idea?" And yes, we are both fully aware that the 1959 film was a remake of a silent classic. That doesn't in itself justify a further remake.

So very true Kris, remakes can only be justified if you're bringing something new to the story. In 1959 not only were they bringing sound to the table, but also Technicolor and widescreen format! This new one I assume is only going to be adding CGI (yawn).

Showtime CEO David Nevins sees no reason why PURITY would interfere with Craig starring in BOND 25. Here’s what Nevins said at TCA yesterday, according to Deadline. “It depends when they do the next James Bond movie, but I don’t think it precludes him is the answer,” Showtime CEO David Nevins said at TCA on Thursday. “This will largely be completed during the course of 2017, depending how long they’re willing to wait and shoot the next Bond. There might be some breaks somewhere, but [production] will be fairly continuous.” Craig returning to the Bond franchise could only help Showtime’s series, so Nevins' comment is no real surprise. But will Eon wait that long? MGM will; they’ve told their shareholders they don’t expect a new Bond film until 2018 or 2019. And there’s some evidence that suggests waiting for Craig might be the smart play. A new distribution partner has yet to materialize, some six months after producer Michael Wilson’s estimate of "January or February." Suitors are no doubt not going to accept the same deal Sony did (50% of the production costs and 100% of the marketing costs in exchange for 20% of the profits; by most accounts Barbara Broccoli made more on Skyfall than Sony). Sony got a pretty raw deal, and coming up with a Bond 25 that comes in well under Spectre's 250 million dollar budget might help on that front. You can bet that Eon and MGM are fielding offers from just about every studio, but meanwhile the Tom Hiddleston talks seem to have quieted down, and one wonders if there’s a case to be made that Eon and MGM could land a more attractive distribution deal with the returning Craig (whose last two Bond films made a combined 1.98 billion dollars) as bait than with a new, untested face in the dinner jacket.

I don't see bringing Craig back as the smart move here, Craig has burned many a bridge post SP and with the exception of a few sycophantic fanboys, even posters on the "official" sites seem to be getting over him, bringing him back would be money poorly spent, as he would require an astronomical amount (since he stated that would be the only reason he'd come back), while not giving as much a return in ticket draw. By comparison a new face, while not having character recognition would generate much more excitement amidst theater goers.

That story has nothing new except 2017 is booked for Craig and mane 2018, he said production would be continuous, not sure what he means by that. Be he bought a sour dog with Craig and is trying to make lemon-aid.

Good news is that the same scheduling concerns go for turner as well.

Wait a minute if sony paid 100% of advertising is that all the p&a? Or simply advertising ?
Man they got screwed over a couple of times. I think they got 8% of the gross for distribution and the stories about spectre they would only make something like $20 million if it cleared a billion plus, it didn't. Man they got ghostbusters screwed!

Hopefully this will replace it.
