Well, this was a quick update!
I said last time...
Eskimo Pies will probably change by 2030 at this speed.
Hahah! Nope! They already changed!
Should have done my homework.
They snuck it under the radar.
Fucking Trump dominated the news all winter.
Eskimo pies are now...
Edy's Pie.
Aunt Jemina, Uncle Ben, and Eskimo Pies down, Cream Of Wheat and Mrs. Buttersworth to go.
Cream Of Wheat just has to take the chef off, Buttersworth has to be a ground-up re-branding and re-packaging.
It's the goddamned bottle fer chrissakes.
That one will be interesting.

I don't really have a horse in this race because I don't think most people would know about the racist origins of this stuff if it weren't dug up by people, but at the same time I really had ZERO idea Mrs. Butterworth was supposed to be black, let alone that it was based off of Butterfly McQueen from "Gone With The Wind." Uh, well, so much for her I guess.
Also, Eskimo Pies are f***ing boring, one of the most generic junk foods there is.
Had they disappeared entirely I probably wouldn't care. Most generic junk food after f***ing Twinkies.
I watched the 1991 film "Rubin & Ed" where Crispin Glover plays the guy he played on his infamous Letterman appearance in 1987 for a whole movie and it's this ridiculous quirky indie low budget crap where Glover and a motivational salesman guy go out into the desert to bury a cat but the Glover character is an OCD-ridden nervous loner manchild douche who can't figure out where to bury him. It has steam for about 30 minutes, then bye bye.
Not recommended. Of course, probably about 50 people have even seen the film in the last 20 years, so there's that.
I just finally saw "Ghost World".
Ehh...it's just two solid hours of Thora Birch being a bitch.
Like Daria with no redeeming morality plus extra bitch sauce.
And that has a high fucking tomato score too.
Toss that on the overrated pile
"Ghost World" is...mmmm...some people are really moved by it. It's all in the title--it's a girl trying to use smarm and irony to block out the worthlessness of her reality. At the end when she gets on that bus it honestly is kind of sad--where is she going to go? I haven't really rewatched the film but I know there's a reasonable argument in favor of it.
I mean, it's not one of my favorite movies but at least it's better than f***ing "Juno" which I really did hate. Yeah sure "I didn't even LOOK at the baby I just gave birth to" yeah sure. Hated that fucking movie.
I did however rewatch "Zodiac" and Twin Peaks season 3 this last week to wash any bad tastes out of my mouth left over from "Battlefield Earth," so that's good.
Maybe it just moved me in the wrong way.
All I could think of was "poor Steve Buscemi, that little tart broke his heart. His poor creepy little heart".
