Happy release day to Big Trouble in Little China (1986)🐉
This film is pure concentrated joy. Wild action, killer one-liners, John Carpenter’s perfect vibe, and Kurt Russell absolutely owning every second as Jack Burton.
Any fans?
BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA was released 40 years ago today.
It struggled at the box office after opening just weeks behind ALIENS, but years of home video and cable TV gave it a second life, turning John Carpenter’s action-fantasy into cult classics.
For years, hospitals kept Americans in the dark about the true cost of care. Families made medical decisions without knowing the price—and too often got hit with bills that drained their savings.
That ends now.
Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS is enforcing hospital price transparency with real consequences. @DrOzCMS and I have a simple message for hospitals: Post your actual prices. Come into compliance immediately—or face serious consequences.
I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
@IGN This idiotic business model should be in textbooks:
Take an established IP, remake it for people who were never interested in it, and alienate the fans who made it successful in the first place
There’s some quirk in physics where, if there’s a small hole in a bag of mulch it will leak all over your vehicle.
But if you rip a giant hole in the bag and try to dump it out into your landscaping, almost none will fall out.
People who weren't even alive during the original trilogy posting a page from a fanzine no one ever heard of as some supposedly documented "proof" that The Empire Strikes Back was like The Last Jedi and not well received when it came out.
Probe Droids.
Tauntauns.
The Wampa.
Snowspeeders.
AT-AT's.
The Asteroid Field.
Dagobah.
Yoda.
Boba Fett.
Cloud City.
"Laugh it up, Fuzzball."
"Never tell me the odds."
"I love you. I know."
"No, I am your father."
At the time we didn't understand the full extent of the masterpiece it would truly be recognized as, we simply thought it was the coolest thing ever, and the box office for Return of the Jedi proved that the fanbase had only grown since Empire's release. Stop trying to rewrite history.
Legacy hardware lasts forever because it was from a time before greed dictated a need for planned obsolescence. Stick that in your hat and decode it. 😑 https://t.co/k08BuW09fu

The Fifth Element (1997) feels like Luc Besson was given unlimited money and told to make the strangest blockbuster imagination could produce. Every frame is overloaded with costumes, color, and pure sci-fi energy. Somehow it all comes together perfectly.
🚨WOW!!!

Pac-Man is back.
Salad bar is back.

Booths for families.
