Popcorn Songs

Well, since popcorn songs have gone away in real life, and since I'm no longer impressed with LJ or Blogger, I've been looking for a new blogging home. Wordpress won and you can find me there,

I'm freecycling some DVDs and if anyone is interested look here.

Word comes from Comic Con that

• Futurama will be 4 DVD movies aired as 4 episodes each
  


• Sarah Silverman continues to be funnier at roasts and on panels than on TV
  


• I should start watching Veronica Mars
  


• Battlestar Galatica still sucks

So, this summer movie season doesn't seem to suck as badly as the past few. I've seen Transformers and loved it, even if it wasn't *exactly* Transformers. I had an excellent conversation with Ken last night about the movie story and why the original story was better in almost every case. After hammering out the fine points of Transformers, we went to see Fantastic Four meets the Silver Surfer or whatever. Now, I'm a fan of the first FF movie--which puts me in the minority, I gather--but I found this one disappointing. Who would have expected the FF movie would be about some army general? Seriously... cut out that character and you might have a movie about the Fantastic Four.

Anyone else notice more and more focus on the military in big budget action movies?

Next to see is the new Die Hard and Captivity (wtf did that movie come from?!)

This is terrible news for the popcorn mix!

The WaPo reports today that Assemblywoman Sally Lieber (D) has introduced a bill to ban diacetyl use by 2010. The chemical is an artificial butter flavoring most commonly used in microwave popcorn. Numerous study have found links between the chemical used by flavor workers and a rare disease called bronchiolitis obliterans. For those of you who aren’t 2000 yr old Romans, that means that the bronchioles and some of the smaller bronchi are obliterated by masses made up of fiberous tissue.

...flavoring manufacturers have paid out more than $100 million due to health lawsuits...

...OSHA has known it’s a problem since 1999...

...The coating on the inside of the packages give off PFCs that break down into PFOA when ingested.
