The Corner Penthouse

I've written about many repack mystery boxes/blind bags already, including several of Neca's themed blind bags. I recently found in my local Target a bunch of new themed blind bags from Neca. I bought each of them so that I could give you all an idea as to what you'll find in them. Read on to find out what's inside the SCI-FI AND HORROR BLIND BAG...

It's been many years since I've done a proper Shot on Site article on The Corner Penthouse. This one is going to be really short, as I'm only going to focus on one single location from the 1990 movie Fear starring Ally Sheedy. Not to be confused with the 1996 movie Fear starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg.

On September 22, 2019, Disney re-released all 10 Star Wars films (The Rise of Skywalker wasn't out at the time) in new packaging featuring artwork that looks like a vertical smartphone against a HUGE black background with silver trim. Many times over the past year, I saw these releases in Target and Best Buy, but was never interested in them as I think that artwork looks really ugly - and from a design standpoint, all of that blackness is a a waste of space. Well, I received the Solo: A Star Wars Story Black-Cover "Multi-Screen Edition" Blu-ray for my birthday a few months ago, which was my first in-hand exposure to these releases. Well, let me tell you why you should AVOID THEM!

For the past three and a half months, I have had my health and safety put at risk due to New York Community Bank (henceforth referred to as NYCB) mishandling their response to COVID-19. I have been a NYCB account holder for over 20 years, going back to 1999 when I frequented the "Roslyn Savings Bank" East Rockaway in-store branch (in the now-defunct Pathmark supermarket). Since December 2012, I've been going to the "Roslyn Savings Bank" stand-alone branch located at 75 N. Central Avenue in Valley Stream, New York. Since I do not have a car, I walk the 0.8 miles from my home to the bank, which is a 15 minute journey. Of the plethora of banks in central Valley Stream, NYCB/Roslyn just so happens to be the furthest away from my home. Considering that there are other, closer, banking options, and that NYCB does not care about the health and safety of their customers, I have chosen to end my 21-year banking relationship with NYCB. Let me explain why...

I've written about many repack mystery boxes/blind bags already, including Neca's previous $6.99 Superhero Blind Bag. Today, for the first time since April, I was able to easily enter my local Target store. I just happened to walk by at a time when there weren't people lined up outside the building in the Summer heat. As mentioned in my July 9, 2020 Shopping Report, I found one of these $9.99 blind bags, which may have been floating around the store for the past six to twelve months. I finally took it home, so read on to find out what was inside...

Even though I have not had a good history with LG Electronics products, I bought the LG UBK80 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc player for $99.99 (normal price is $199.99) from Best Buy on Black Friday 2019. I was upgrading from the LG BP125 Blu-ray Disc player (purchased on December 10, 2012 from Walmart for $48.00), which was the only LG product that I never had an issue with. Based upon my positive experience with the BP125, I thought that LG, at least, made good disc players. Boy, was I wrong...
