I don't think so.

Deuteronomy 23:19 ESV - “You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest." Luke 6:34-35 ESV - "And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil." Leviticus 25:35-38 ESV - “If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God." There are, I think, a few more admonishments about loans and money lending. That said, I'm not sure fighting a wrong with another wrong is a good idea...

Bet it shows up as a Mystery House on Escape to the Country...

Its a super-love letter to The Munsters; ostensibly a "how-did-they-get-together" prequel showing how Herman met Lilly, married and left Transylvania to move to mocking bird lane. Lots of references to the show (the Wolfman and Gillman are relative's who appear in the show; Herman's driving outfit from THE MUNSTER'S GO HOME amid other more obscure one) plus the nods the Universal and Hammer Frankenstein and Dracula films). But the pacing on the trailer is really whack, like it wasn't edited right (or, as I mentioned, was edited to attain a faux 1987 direct-to-video feel.

Until Mononoke, most of Miyazaki's work didn't get released in the US. Pre-Ghibli Castle of Cagliostro had a very small 1980 release but until it had a bigger 90s release was probably better known to US audiences due its use in the Cliff Hanger laserdisc game, and Nausicaä had a hugely edited release that cut 22 minutes out of it and was released as Warriors of the Wind in 1985 (and is the reason Miyazaki is adamant about no cuts) Ghibli's Totoro was released in 1988 for airplane viewing on US-Japan trips and I think Grave of the Fireflies also got a very small festival release that year. Both got a second distribution through VHS releases in 1993 (Troma distributed Totoro theatrically but I can't remember if Totoro played locally or not - I didn't see it if it did). My understanding is that post-Mononoke, the direct-to-home releases of Kiki's Delivery Service (and to a lesser extent, Castle in the Sky) did really well for Disney and led to their continuing with translating the Ghibli back catalogue (but not for theatrical release). Lassiter championing Spirited Away probably save the deal, ultimately, and the awards nominations didn't hurt as they could be used to promote the home releases which, AFAIK, did decent. I'm not surprised to hear Weinstein scuttled Mononoke's release schedule, I had to hunt a showing down, traveling to an intown art theater* to see it on an exclusive week engagement. That week and that theater was the only place locally it ever played. Compare that to Akira which was released in the US in 1989 and was shown in some of the bigger chain theaters locally, albeit for an equally limited time frame (but I think Akira lasted more than a week). *the original definition of "art theater" theater, and not a porn theater using the 'art theater' name, to be clear

It reminds me of the trailers they did for late 80s direct to VHS movies, which in itself is really weird.

This is what I read - "The Black Swordsman" "The Brand" "The Guardians of Desire (pt 1-6)" "The Golden Age (pt 1) Which is the first big volume of the dark horse English language volumes.

Sorry, but works got me heavily tied up, so I'm not able to do a longer post. When I have free time, I haven't been up to screen shots and all that. Episode XXVII: "The Evil Overlord! Salamander" aka "Aku no Teiō! Saramandā" Episode XXVIII: "Cobra's Angry Revenge" aka "Kobura Ikari no Hōfuku e" Episode XXIX: "The Man From The Arctic And Their Fiery Blood" aka "Kyokuhoku no Otoko Atsuki Chi Yo" Other than the bit with Bud which was so predictable even HE should have seen it coming, a fun trio of episodes to set up the final showdown in the last two. Also got through BERSERK through the first story of The Golden Age (so the first 9 chapters, I think). It'll probably be a bit before I get to the next part.

Its a quote from a character in one of the Jo-Jo's Bizarre Adventures, hence its use on the anime thread.

Georgia Guidestones demolished after planted explosive device damages it. Apparently there's a nutwing part of the local Republican party that has been advocating for the destruction of the Guidestones as being evil, satanic internationalism created by a "Luciferian cabal'.

Cleaning out the storage area at work today, found a box of carbon paper for a typewriter. No sign of the typewriter itself...yet.

I thought the information might be of interest. Similarly, I thought the story of the name change /rip-off accusation aspect of two similar shows, The Returned and Resurrection was also worth noting and mentioned it back at the time: So if nothing else, I'm consistent.

It can make me more interested to know that something began life as something other than something that came in the wake of something else. Or at least less likely to dismiss it as 'just another clone'. Clearly your mileage varies. EDIT: In other news NBC picks up MAGNUM PI for 2 more seasons of 10 episodes each, with options for more seasons

I thought it worth pointing out. The adaption may/may not be good, but I enjoyed the comic.

The comic PAPER GIRLS started a year before Stranger Things.
