I need to get these unopened 1999 Wizard packs priced one of these days. Or at least some protective cases. Doubt they'd sell for the exorbitant prices I see on eBay, though.

I'm holding two 1999 Pokémon trading card packs made by Wizards. ISBN is 1-57530-784-7. Pictured in both is Venusaur.
The back of said packs. ISBN is 1-57530-784-7.

It's funny how they immediately remade this movie because they thought the first one wasn't good enough. Turns out both were bad (although the original is slightly less so). And Justin Baldoni was in the first movie, and then his wife became the lead in the remake.

The Forgotten Ones (2008) TMDB score 51% When a devastating boat crash shipwrecks a group of friends in the jungles of an uncharted island, they are savagely picked off one-by-one by a cannibalistic enemy that evolution forgot. #movies #moviesky #badmovies

Texas isn't a red state. It's a state held hostage by gerrymandering and voter suppression. Hell, earlier this week they announced they're shutting down half the voting centers in Tarrant County (that's Fort Worth, 2.2 million people) and kicked everyone out of the hearing who wanted to comment.

This is a sentimental essay about politics, which I know isn't the fashion, and yet the editors at @newrepublic.com let me write something personal about the Lone Star State. Link in the replies.

I ended up cutting this movie from a list I'm writing, but it wasn't an easy choice. This 2000s indie slasher went from so-so to "oh?" because of its wild twist ending. I *still* think about it all these years later.

Frayed (2007): the poster shows a crying woman with her hand over her face as a scary clown comes behind her.
