Fry’s was the Bass Pro Shops of the electronic world. I’m not sure if I can go on without the ability to buy obscure cables in a hyper themed warehouse on a whim. pic.twitter.com/SncODlhVNa
Fry’s Electronics, beloved electronics stores dotting SoCal and the West Coast are finally all gone/closed as of last night 2/24/21. Fry's died a slow painful death as stores grew empty, but remained opened with no new products inside as it's owners waited to sell the land.
If you grew up in the LA area, you probably visited them over the years as part of the most fun, so LA, places to check out. What other massive electronic store had themes like Burbank's beloved B-Movies? Horror and sci-fi movies from the 1950's came alive with giant ants, flying saucers and an evil octopus in the computer section. What about Woodland Hills' iconic Alice in Wonderland themed store? Whose going to missing going down the rabbit hole every time you entered it?
This sucks.
Check out one of the threads online showcasing the stores below.
Man that does suck #Frys is closing shop. It was a great store, other then the weird last few years with empty shelves. I grew up going to the one in Woodland Hills with the Alice in Wonderland theme. A wonderland of tech. Great memories! pic.twitter.com/gRQ7VfYOqu

In
between his cult hit debut ACCIÓN MUTANTE and proudly depraved PERDITA
DURANGO, writer/director Álex de la Iglesia delivered the international
smash that remains one of the best horror comedies of our time: When a
rogue priest (Álex Angulo of PAN’S LABYRINTH) discovers the exact date
The Antichrist will be born, he’ll enlist a Death Metal record store
clerk (Santiago Segura of KILLER BARBYS) and a cheesy TV psychic
(Armando De Razza) for an urban spree of “gore, sacrilege and twisted
humor” (San Francisco Examiner) to prevent the Apocalypse by summoning
Satan himself. Terele Pávez (800 BULLETS) co-stars in this “classic of
modern Spanish cinema” (Screen Anarchy) – winner of 6 Goya Awards
including Best Director – now restored in 4k from the original negative.
Our
newest installment of LApel Pins, curated once again by Midnight Dogs,

I don't even play Fortnite but Epic Games seems to really know what they are doing.
G-d damn, I love these good looking docs. My Darling Supermarket directed by Ms. Tali Yankelevich has us peering in on different employees in a super market in São Paulo, Brazil. And it's just delightful to look at. We connect with a few of the employees, learning a little bit more about them and possibly get lost in their own specific thoughts and lives. One of course, holds a high interest as we have an otaku in the bunch and the captured conversation on comparing Goku to Jesus was hilarious. The movie is as deep as the dip into the employees we briefly get to know.
As soon as you see the supermarket being built, you may ponder, "What I'm I about to see." You might go, "This is weird." You're going to see a an all too brief look at different employees working at supermarket that could well just be next to you. It's bright, it's colorful, when the director wants it to be. Everything is shot to make it almost like an ad to come and visit the place. We see the process of how things are done, put away, but we don't ever really get sense of the supermarket being an extra character. I don't believe anyone even names it in the film. The supermarket is where we stay throughout the whole film, but it almost seems like just a nice backdrop to anywhere for these characters. And, it's a bit more brighter than it's American counter-part with more colors and brighter shopping carts. Red and blue carts anyone?
What person will be your favorite character? Rodrigo in the bakery? Who discusses the Heisenberg principle and quantum physics who doesn't seem to know the girl he works with kind of likes him.
The little lady in a dark room, behind a desk, monitoring all the cameras in the store? She looks like a perv almost spying on everyone. Calling over faceless staff via a walk-talkie if it looks like a customer stole something.
Maybe the man at checkout? Who might flirt with a customer and get their number. Or may have had a really bad breakdown at some point.
Or are you ready for Ivan? This character doesn't come off as an otaku (fan of Japanese culture) at first, he seems like an average guy. However, when he asks another employee of why not trying to emulate Goku from Dragon Ball and be more like him; a hero if you will. And how Goku could be considered to be praised more like G-d. His friend rebuffs him saying Goku is just looking for a better fight. And it the debate goes on. Even if not a fan of anime, it is funny as Hell to see an anime debate where one person could care less. For those who do know Dragon Ball Super and what the Hell they are talking about-such as myself-it's even funnier. Ivan gets knocked in his place with his friend not giving him an inch on the matter. And it will put a smile on your face.
So, that's the thing the characters are all real. There real people and were just getting a small portion of their lives. We go through some tougher topics than just anime like love, death and anxieties they and us share , but you really feel these people. All while looking at a lovely little market.
The only complaint, if any, was the lack of connection between the people we meet. Possibly any connection to the place itself. The women watching the store on monitors and the man at checkout never interact. There's no sitcom-like togetherness in the store. They all work at the supermarket, but it's like they're in there own little worlds. It's just a place, made to look nice for this film, but it doesn't even seem to be part of the identities of the characters, except the lady who likes to watch everyone. Perhaps, that's just how it is or that how the directed wanted it.
It just flowed though, beautifully cut. We go in and out of different people's lives, getting a few inner thoughts, a few ideas with a lovely backdrop of this supermarket and then you might spot that strange cosplayer in the store.
Synopsis: Steeped in ancient Jewish lore and demonology, THE VIGIL is supernatural
horror film set over the course of a single evening in Brooklyn's
Hasidic Borough Park neighborhood. Low on funds and having recently left
his insular religious community, Yakov reluctantly accepts an offer
from his former rabbi and confidante to take on the responsibility of an
overnight "shomer," fulfilling the Jewish practice of watching over the
body of a deceased community member. Shortly after arriving at the
recently departed's dilapidated house to sit the vigil, Yakov begins to
realize that something is very, very wrong.
