OITNB is technically not so great IMO, however, I'm really enjoying it and so is Mrs. Gnome. It's faulty, but still very entertaining. Thumbs up for the women's prison!

When I read that I almost gagged on my tongue trying not to laugh in the middle of a meeting. In hindsight, I vaguely remember watching a subbed film also called "The Host" IIRC but please oh please tell me you're referring to the Tweeny bopper film that the 56yo woman I work with almost cried over it being so terribad...
I actually feel your pain on this one or at least felt it. We went to the theater to see it and it annoyed the crap out of me on many levels... Then bored at work on a 13hr shift, I stumbled across the promo website and it actually much better clarified all the holes and I've actually kind of liked it (the first one anyway) ever since. As a test, a friend of mine wanted to go see it and I had his gf read the website and him not and same result for him versus her really enjoying it. Go figure. My memory is fuzzy, but the website explained the orbits being altered due to planetary position and the binary stars altering position ever so slightly due to compound gravitational pull. Then after orbiting so many revolutions it would alter them just enough to result in the almost perfectly parallel orbits making a long term eclipse. I'm sure I'm conveying it poorly but it was made just plausible enough to let it go.
We've had one near our house that has seemed doomed for literally years and it still keeps on ticking in spite of being right down the block from a good 9 Redbox units in relative close proximity to each other. Turns out, they apparently expanded the entire shopping center and the guy who runs it does it for fun and the rent from the plaza would easily support it even if they closed their doors tomorrow and left the lights on. Still though, the guy charges the old $5 for 6 day rental period which I guess maybe if I'm ever going on a trip or I get tired of lines may seem appealing. Whether it'll ever close at this point I honestly no longer know. Sidenote, he also apparently liquidated a bunch of displays to free up a storage unit and made over $315,000 bucks from them so I suppose if you've been there long enough there could very well be some lucrative options.
