I often wonder about the level of lunacy that you have to have to even go to that home, let alone do something that requires the owners to put up a fence like that.

Lots of people go to the Back to the Future house. Cringey.

Yeah... I know the house from A Christmas Story made it into a museum or hotel or something? Like they invited people to come. Even then, I don't get it, but it makes it a little better as they're inviting people to come and check it out. For the BB house... no one asked you to come there. They didn't advertise it as the house. gtfo...

I visited the Full House house in SF a few weeks ago. There was a sign out front that said something along the lines of "This is a private residence. Please be respectful."

That picture was from a friend, driving through ABQ yesterday. He was a little embarrassed about taking a picture of it after seeing the results of years of "fans" doing the same.

Yeah, I don't know why it's weird. I enjoy seeing houses/locations used in my favorite movies in person. It's part of history.I visited the Full House house in SF a few weeks ago. There was a sign out front that said something along the lines of "This is a private residence. Please be respectful."
I don't knock on their door and ask for a tour, but taking photos from the street is fine, imo.

We took a photo from the street and were on our way. All in all, we were there maybe 5 minutes. Still felt weird considering it's just somebody's home. But don't purchase a famous house if you don't want people taking pictures of it.Yeah, I don't know why it's weird. I enjoy seeing houses/locations used in my favorite movies in person.

That doesn't excuse idiots trespassing and throwing pizzas on your roof, though.

I think the difference is the BTTF house and the BB house are just normal, run-of-the-mill mid to low-income housing. They're not exceptional, and that was kind of the point of choosing them. The prison from Shawshank, on the other hand, is worth seeking out.

We are enjoying the new He-man cartoon after 4 episodes. Good mix of nostalgia while keeping it fresh.

I'm not a He-Man guy but I've been following the show since I like Kevin Smith (or used to like? I don't know. It's weird with him). And holy **** fans are pissed at that dude. Look at the RT scores for the series. 95% critics score. 36% audience score. That's insane. And I know why the massive negative brigade happened and all I can do is laugh at how stupid fans are. We've seen it over and over again lately. Nobody hates a franchise more than that franchise's fans.We are enjoying the new He-man cartoon after 4 episodes.

Haha, I didn't realize this. They probably don't like that Tela and evil Lynn actually have a good story. I think they completely nailed it on the head. I'm an old head that really loves what they are doing, my kids never have seen the old cartoon and love it too.I'm not a He-Man guy but I've been following the show since I like Kevin Smith (or used to like?

Re TV houses
The Brady Bunch house was bought by HGTV and renovated by various show hosts so that the inside matched filming sets as much as possible. (Which was a challenge, cos the real house was a single story.) It's still owned by HGTV, and they have an armed guard that stands watch from a car in the driveway 24 hrs a day. (At least they did when I last drove by, which I think was in the Before Times.)

Just finished S03 of Manifest. Really enjoyed the show, but after that finale, I can't believe this is how it all ends. I was hopeful that Netflix would pick it up to give it the one season it needs to wrap up the story, but they passed. I guess there's still hope for a TV movie or something, but I think it's a long shot.

In other news:
Bruce Campbell, star of the classic horror franchise, is joining the fourth season of the Peacock comedy. Campbell will guest star as John Griffin, father of Glenn Howerton’s Jack Griffin in the series. An absent father to Jack most of his life, he recently had a spiritual awakening with hopes to reconnect with his adult son.

I'm surprised another season of AP Bio is coming. The Peacock exclusive season 3 felt tired and directionless. The story reached its logically conclusion in season 2, perhaps because they knew NBC wasn't renewing it for the network. Peacock saved it.In other news:

Billions returns September 5th, with the final episodes of season five. It's also been renewed for another season, with Corey Stoll returning.
In other Showtime news, the Ray Donovan movie is filming in Boston with a 2022 release. Pretty solid show, imo.

I’ve actually seen some articles over the past week or so that both NBC and Netflix are now in talks to bring it back for one(?) more season. It helps that NBC scrapped a Law & Order spinoff that was set to air in the fall, and the cancellation of Good Girls. So now they have an open slot(s) for Manifest.Just finished S03 of Manifest.

I’ve read similar articles, so I’m keeping the faith. I think the show really does deserve one final season, given where we are today. I thought season 3 was their best one yet.I’ve actually seen some articles over the past week or so that both NBC and Netflix are now in talks to bring it back for one(?) more season.
