Actually I remember 99% of Batman Forever and I saw it in the theatres as a kid.
I barely remember any of B&R aside from going to see it in theatres.

What a terrible image.
I’m the exact opposite for remembering them. Batman and Robin isn’t memorable for good reasons but I remember it.

I remember basics nothing of Batman and Robin. Didn’t even remember Elle Macpherson (Aussie supermodel) was in it and she was an inspiration
to all males when I was growing up. Only watched it once and that was too much.

I'm melting in this heat, and I'm loving every minute of it because I finally get to use my pool every day.

Does no one have A/C out east? I don’t either (live out west) but I live near water and breeze comes through pretty good to keep the temps down.

I wish I had a pool, but central air is also neat. I am actually a little chilly.

A lot do, I don't. I find that when I'm in a place with AC, I lose that desire to go for a swim because I'm never hot enough to want to cool down.
I might think differently if I lived somewhere that's hot for more than a couple of months per year, but as it is I look forward to those sweltering two months so I can actually enjoy my pool.

Did I miss something?
Did people actually want a Soprano's Prequel movie? Why? That just seems like a stupid idea. Like you are never going to make anything more compelling than Casino, A Bronx Tale, or even Goodfellas. I mean, do those people get that Sopranos is basically a rip off of those movies? You're basically making a prequel of a rip off mobster show, about a movie that has already been done.
All I want is a properly made He-Man movie that doesn't enter the real world, just keep it in Eternia, make it. A simple ask. I'd fund it myself if I could.

I don't understand how anyone lives in BC, for example for where I currently reside now, without central air. It's disgusting here in the Summer, super humid and the awful odors that seem to come out of nowhere at times depending on what is being wafted by which plant, etc.
Also, I don't enjoy sitting on a leather sofa with my ass sweaty.

I hate prequel movies in general. A big part of what makes a movie interesting is *not* knowing the fate of the characters or what happens in the future. With prequels, you already know which main characters will live and which will die. There's no suspense.
"Oh, no! Han Solo is flying through a really, really narrow opening where there's almost zero chance he survives. I don't know if he'll make it! Sooooo intense I can't even watch!"
"Uh, he sort of has to considering he shows up in 7 movies after this one".

I sort of agree, when it was done the way Solo was done.
First, if you are going to do a prequel, it has to be because there's a compelling argument to be made that telling a character's story leading up to what you're seeing is actually worth telling. Han Solo's story had some fun stuff to him, but as a stand alone movie, nah, it just didn't seem worth it and well, the fallout ensued.
But sometimes, a prequel isn't a bad thing. I've actually enjoyed the prequel, but not a prequel Alien movies.

Man...hosting holiday parties....you seem to always drink 10x more than usual. lol
As a Dolph Lundgren mark, I enjoy that one. I actually prefer his Punisher to everything that has come out since, too. heh

I didn't mind him as Punisher, but The Masters of the Universe movie is an abomination.
Lundgren as He-Man was not the problem, but them heading to Earth, what in the blue f***.

Prequels can be interesting if your character has crazy quirks that aren't explained in main films.
But. It's also really lazy and low risk storytelling. Because nothing that bad can happen, it doesn't push a writer to make a great story with actual gravity in the decisions of the character. Usually.

Well I think that probably had to do with budgetary constraints (like how Friday the 13th Pt 8: Jason Takes Manhattan barely has any scenes in NYC and takes place, mostly, on a ship. The original script has scenes at the Brooklyn Bridge among many other landmarks but Paramount didn't put the necessary cash into the project. If you get a chance to see the ideas they had originally for the film, it is interesting and may have actually been pretty good).
Oddly, there was a Dolph-less sequel planned, with 1/5 of the original's budget. Yikes.

Oh, so you were that one person that went to see that movie.
Yikes indeed. I think budgetary wise, you could have filmed that movie in a desert and mostly the indoor scenes of the whole castle and Grey Skull could have been done quite cheaply actually. I just think the money they did pour in and they did put in an ok amount, they put it into the wrong stuff.
They had a 22M budget for that movie. In 1987.
In comparison, Spaceballs had a budget of 22.7m.
They COULD have made a better movie, but took a giant dump to spin some He-Man in Murrica and Skeletor crap.

Granite is really nice. We just installed an outdoor kitchen with granite countertops in a building downtown. The paving stones to the entrance of the building was all granite too.

Thanks! I love the look of granite (who doesn't, really?) not to mention how tough it is. Quartz seems to be pretty similar just with less maintenance/worry. Obviously costs more right now but since I want to pay outright for this reno, it will be several more years of saving so hopefully the price drops then as it gets more popular.
This is going to cost us a lot of money but kitchens have the highest returns on investments when it comes to house renovations and obviously it's something we use every single day.

Kitchens definitely do, mostly because of how much work goes into it and the cost. So the more you put in, the more you get out of it for value.
