Re: Hostess Declares Bankruptcy, Sells Off Assets
The funny thing is that there are already so many generic versions of the Twinkie out there that it will be interesting to see which takes dominance to fill the void. I've already seen Little Debbie overstocked on shelves. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/185jgtd19e5y1jpg/original.jpg Also, since Hos...

Hostess Declares Bankruptcy, Sells Off Assets
I'm sure most, if not all, of you have heard the news of Hostess (makers of such popular snack cakes as Twinkies, Ho-Hos and Sno Balls) declaring bankruptcy. All 33 factories were shut down, forcing nearly 19,000 people to be sent home and laid-odd. The recipes for their snack cakes are now being so...

Re: "The Evil Dead" Films
I watched the original The Evil Dead last night for the first time. It really is a straight horror-survival film with very little humor. The Evil Dead II also took quite a bit from it, so it's easy to see how the remake is essentially re-adapting both.
