Retail stores use hard security tags on clothes, purses, and some other supposedly "expensive" items to prevent the items from being stolen. That is all well and good - except for the ones Walmart and Target put around DVD box sets that cut indentations in the boxes - but what happens when you take the item home and notice that the store employee forgot to remove the tag?

After giving them second, third, and fourth chances, I am no longer going to give them anymore chances and have decided to stop visiting any Subway restaurants. Read on to find out why...
Burger King Gripes
By Paul Rudoff on Nov. 30, 2022 at 5:00 PM in Public Service Articles
When you are a low-income family, you tend to eat at fast food restaurants because your budget doesn't allow you to regularly dine at healthier eating establishments. (Burger King and McDonald's use to offer salads, but both took them off their menus during the pandemic.) That the Burger King restaurant here in Valley Stream, New York is centrally located to all of the places where I normally run errands to, makes it a convenient place to get a cheap, quick bite. Lately, Burger King has been doing things that are giving me the desire to go out of my way to eat elsewhere. Read on to find out more...

Over The Hedge (2006) DVD Gallery Images
By Paul Rudoff on Oct. 27, 2022 at 11:30 PM in Home Video, Animation
When I "upgrade" to a later DVD or Blu-ray release, I'll usually check to make sure that everything from the old DVD is on the new DVD/Blu-ray. Most of the time it is, but what usually falls victim to the "porting over" process are still image extras. This is especially true if the old DVD was released in the late 1990s, when studios would include Production Notes and Cast & Crew Biographies/Filmographies as extras. This text is, almost always, sourced from the movie's original press kit materials, and I feel it's worth preserving. So, before I get rid of that old DVD, I'll screencap all of the stills.
