My mom bought us an encyclopedia set, and I read it cover to cover. A lot of people didn’t have those though.

That’s too bad. Oh well!

“Axel F” opens as these films do, with Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) getting into undercover trouble in Detroit, this time stopping a robbery at a Red Wings game that leads to a destructive chase through the city in a snowplow

Are they just redoing everything they did in all the other movies, but slightly different?

I feel nice.

In the 80’s you believed anything anyone told you because there was no convenient way to look it up. Oh, you want to verify it? Better take the bus across town to the library, spend 30 minutes finding 4 dinosaur books, and then 3 hours pouring through them to see if they mention when they went extinct.

Then why do they call it a code?

Just get the kitty a scratching post.

Back in the distant 1990’s there wasn’t enough solar energy to run our central heating, so we had to burn our CD collections to stay warm.

That’s way too much effort. Just go with the ol “because I got tired of being on your mom”.

Some days it feels like everyone on this site is in middle school.

Ha! You’re a baby! Hey everyone, come look at this baby!

Kinda… yeah.

That’s fine with me. Bust a move all you want, supernatural dude.

It’s an old meme, sir, but it checks out.

20% used to make you a damned hero. Now they act like you’re short changing them. I’m not tipping someone for running a fuckin cash register. I’ve actually started paying cash again just to avoid this whole emotional trap bullshit.

I’ve seen some that have prefilled tip amounts at 40%? Are you fuckin kidding me? Do you want me to punch you in the face?

Alas, I have not read that book.

I wonder if the movie still holds up. I haven’t seen it in 20 years, but it was the most terrifying movie I had seen up until that point, and for a long time afterwards too.

More accurately things fall into black holes, but we’re just talking about a comic.

Weird. I walked across the Brooklyn bridge last week, and although I just went from the bridge to the subway, and back to Manhattan, it seemed like a very walkable city.
