They re-released the film to theaters as an event. It's a sing-a-long and viewers are encouraged to dress up as characters. Kind of like Rocky Horror. Some theaters are providing coconuts for guests to participate. It's coming to my area and I will be all over this. Anyone out there know more or...

I would've posted this in Games but this transcends games and is becoming a cultural phenomenon. I've never played pokemon and am not about to start now so that will be a No for me, but at least it's getting people out and walking and trespassing. It's all in fun and it is boosting local...

It's like a disaster movie waiting to happen. The waters for the olympic sailing venue are being described as basically a "toilet" with all the raw sewage and a recently discovered super bug. No thanks, skipper. I'll wait for the next go around in 4 years...

WTF is happening in Britain, it's the same bat shit crazy paranoid bullshit that Trump is spouting off.

Quite arguably the second-greatest player ever to lace up the skates. Inventor of the Gordie Howe hat-trick....a goal, an assist and a fight. We'll miss you, Mr. Hockey. R.I.P. Gordie..... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/11/sports/hockey/gordie-howe-dies-detroit-red-wings.html?_r=0

With Euro 2016 starting I thought I would start this thread for anyone that was interested who wanted to post any comments throughout the tournament, any predictions on games or who they think might win the tournament. As much as I would want England to win I just think that France having home...

Klinsmann needs to bench Dempsey and Zardes. If Dempsey is still playing in the next WC, we stand no chance. The best defense against Zardes is to let him touch the ball. He has no touch or technique at all. Let the young players get some experience against quality competition...

Obama gave a speech at the Hiroshima memorial while in Japan for the summit. In doing to he became the first sitting US President ever to visit the site. Long, but still a great speech. Not an apology by any means, but a hell of a lot more than the 70 years worth of presidents that came before...

Kanye West’s Twitter rant on Wednesday rubbed porn star Lisa Ann the wrong way — so she joined forces with the rapper’s ex Amber Rose. The 43-year-old adult film star threatened to compile naked pictures she said the “Gold Digger” singer sent her — but later said she didn’t plan to make them...

He was 94. So long, Fish. We hardly knew ye.
