  1. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    There seems to be no shortage of N95 type masks at this point. For people who seriously want to protect themselves from getting Omicron for as long as possible (although personally, I believe we're all going to end up getting this eventually), that would be the way to go. Even the reusable...
  2. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Similar things have happened with some of the numbers in Ontario. Recently, the province's Chief medical officer admitted as many as half of reported COVID hospitalizations (one of the main justifications for our current lockdown and school closures) numbers are incidental... meaning the patient...
  3. Ghostbusters General

    That's fair, although just keep in mind some of the additional, never-before-seen, content that's coming in this new set. They also include the original theatrical stereo audio for both GB1&2. SPECIAL FEATURES DISC 1 – GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) NEW: Rare 114-minute Preview Cut of the Film (in...
  4. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    It's going to be awfully difficult for Quebec to enforce limits on gatherings in people's private home, so I suspect the majority of people just aren't going to listen at this point. I'm not even going to bother pondering whether that's the right or wrong thing to do at this point. I'm as sick...
  5. Star Trek: Discovery

    So during McDonald Canada's recent Monopoly promotion I "won" 3 free months of Paramount+ in Canada. Just a warning to fellow Canadians... don't waste your time. Baffling as it is, Star Trek isn't even on there. NO Star Trek... not old, nor new. The whole goddamn franchise which was...
  6. Ghostbusters General

    That Ultimate Edition boxset is up on Amazon Canada for $99.99, around $78 USD. Compared to the $140 USD or so it's going for from most US retailers, that's not bad. Normally I don't like double dipping on titles within the same format, and I've already purchased Ghostbusters 1 & 2 on 4K... but...
  7. Sonic The Hedgehog

    Having only finally sat down to watch the first one during this holiday break and being shocked how much I enjoyed it, I'm really looking forward to this one.
  8. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Bailing out uncompetitive French corporations like Bombardier isn't cheap. Especially when they so often take the bailout money and line management's pockets instead of using it to strengthen their company. Wish we'd kept Avro Canada around instead of those damnable parasites.
  9. The COVID Vaccination Thread

    But this time without much in the way of government support. Gonna be a great winter for the unemployed with children to feed, with record-high food prices. At least our beloved government representatives are still getting their full salaries and platinum-plated pensions, though, despite year...
  10. Ghostbusters General

    From the sounds of it, this Haslab stuff can easily sell for double the price on the secondary market once it's been released. I picked up 2 Neutrona wands and 2 packs. Either I'll have a second complete pack to sell and make the money I spent on both back, or (financies depending) I'll have one...
  11. Spider-Man: No Way Home

    Loved it. I don't think I've had as much fun in a theatre since Infinity War/Endgame. What an incredible ride. Can't wait to see it again.
  12. Ghostbusters General

    Just got back from seeing it. My first theatrical experience since The Rise of Skywalker back in the pre-COVID days. I really enjoyed it. As much as I enjoyed seeing the original guys suited up again, I like that it didn't try to upstage Phoebe as the heart of this film. All the kids in this...
  13. Spider-Man: No Way Home

    I'll see it; but then I'd have gone to see it no matter what. As much as I like multiverse stuff, I hope it doesn't go too crazy with it as it may kind of confuse general audiences. Along with what we've seen, if we get Maguire and Garfield cameos (and hopefully Bruce Campbell, though I'm not...
  14. Star Trek General Discussion

    I'm really not interested in morality lessons from someone whose repeatedly proven himself to be an unsympathetic sack of s*$% when it comes to actual people, but will gladly defend the rights of billion dollar corporations. As long as your posts get a rise out of someone, isn't that right? Fat...
  15. Star Trek General Discussion

    I own all three seasons of Discovery as well as the first seasons of Picard and Lower Decks on blu-ray, all bought on release week when the prices are highest. Altogether they probably cost around $160, enough for 15 months of access to CBS All Access, Paramount+, or whatever it's called these...
  16. Star Trek General Discussion

    And then $10 for this service, and another $12 for that one. And just $10 more each for these other two. Before you know it you're back up to the price of a regular cable subscription. Except these days, food costs 15% more and renting a bachelor in a slum is $2500/month. No thanks. I'm...
  17. Prey (Predator 5) - streaming on Hulu

    I agree that it wasn't until that last abomination that the Predator series finally managed to churn out a genuine turd of a film... other franchises of that era (Alien, Terminator, Robocop, etc) all managed that feat quite a bit sooner. Predator 2 might not be a "classic" in the way the...
  18. Ranting about quebec: newspark edition!

    I've never cared for Air Canada, considering their abysmal customer service and poor pricing, but after that speech debacle I have a new respect for their CEO. Personally, I no longer give one goddamn about French or preserving French Canadian "culture", whatever that's supposed to be (other...
  19. Ghostbusters General

    It's about time there was a reasonably-priced, good-quality replica available. I'm definitely hopping on board this.
  20. Ghostbusters General

    I can't take a review that seething with hatred seriously. I'll see the film and judge it myself. That reviewer clearly has a bug up his ass about something. However, anyone going into this expecting the original film's style of humor is destined to be disappointed. They're two completely...
