    What is your favorite Stephen King film?

    I agree....I actually think Dr. Sleep is better. YMMV

    What is your favorite Stephen King film?

    THANK YOU! Everybody just falls over themselves to praise Kubrik's The Shining, and it's just possibly the most ridiculous crap I've ever seen. Literally never scary, and Jack is clearly crazy from the start.

    What's streaming that's good TV/movies

    I liked Season 1, but ever since "Fishes", the episode that so many people think is the best, I've absolutely detested most of the characters. I loathe that episode and have almost come to actively hate the entire show because of it. Also....it doesn't ******* belong in the comedy category for...

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    From Wikipedia: "In 2022, the Turkish government requested the United Nations and other international organizations to use Türkiye officially in English, to which they agreed. Turkey has remained the common and conventional name in the English language."

    I was convinced it would end up being friendly fire that did it, though.

    Your Biggest "Coincidence"

    Back in the 90s, there was a Des Moines area preacher who did TV commercials...I can't remember his name. One time, a friend of mine and I ran into him at an ice cream shop in WDM or Clive (what was it called? Marble Slab or something?). That's not such an odd coincidence, of course. Fast...

    Disclosure Day

    I thought the writing was the weakest part of this movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself in the theater, which is the point, right? There were some scenes and plot points that were a little dumb, the religion subplot being completely unnecessary, IMO. The last 30 minutes were classic Spielberg...

    Croatia is a good team. They've made deep runs the past two World Cups; third in 2022 and losing to France in the final in 2018.
