Doh! Nothing of sorts here. But I'll be arranging a Star Wars weekend this Saturday with my GF. Usually once a year we marathon Star Wars and another we marathon LOTR/The Hobbit.
Rigorously the Extended Editions.

If I suggested this to my wife, she'd be my ex-wife...

She suggested the Star Wars marathon  . after I bought her 3 SW Funko Pops at the local Gamestop, where she wanted to enter.
And we first met in a library... we're definetely a geeky couple! Also there is a shelf dedicated to various Star Wars, Star Trek and Doctor Who collectibles, plus one dedicated to LOTR/The Hobbit and Harry Potter... and another one, hers only, to Jane Austen. There is how our money go...

A few years ago, they released a DVD set with digitally re-mastered editions of all TOS. It was a wonderful trip down Memory Lane. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That would be a nice gift for my GF. She's an avid fan of TOS - in fact she likes Star Trek so much more than me!

Released, then re-released, then released again on Blu-ray, then the 50th Anniversary package, then they'll eventually be re-released again at 4K...
I bought the very first ones they put out (2 episodes per DVD * 40 DVDs) and skipped every re-release they've made since. I've only recently placed an order on Amazon for the Blu-rays.

I just recently purchased the few Star Trek movies not in my collection. I have TOS, all 10 movies, plus the two reboots. I'm currently working on TNG. Not sure if I want the rest though. DS9 and Voyager were OK, but Enterprise just left me feeling blah.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

It was outstanding. I started watching these on Friday night and continued through yesterday. I think I drove my wife nuts. So many good episodes that it's hard to pick favorites.

So, the new coffee peculator finished producing it boiling swill. Yet, my cup runneth over!
Before this, they had a Keurig setup. That is an interesting psychological study.
The coffee is severely overpriced. The little Keurig cups (by the billions)are an environmental horror story. On a good day, the coffee produced it substandard mediocrity. Yet, it's madly popular.
There's no redeeming characteristic, except, of course, the delusion that the aficionados have that they're sipping real coffee.
What price convenience!
So, with the repeated breakdowns of the K-Cup conraption - the swill, literally perked by the gallon, has won out. Frighteningly, it taste more like coffee.*
Indeed, my cup runneth over! (Ouch - that's elephanting hot!)
* I will make mud-coffee or use a personal cup-at-a-time often enough to prevent my total moral and physical collapse.

My main coffee source at home is a 6-cup Moka. It has a high yield of coffee and wastes less powder than an espresso machine.
I bought a Nespresso machine, with the k-cups, because sometimes I empty the moka, forget to make another batch and wake up the day after without coffee - you do not want me to drive without coffee. Since my usual time from bed to car is 15 minutes and my alarm clock is regulated for this I do not have the time to prepare a moka if it's empty so a k-cup is THE solution, in 40 seconds I avoid the risk of collisions with other vehicles.
But the k-cups are insanely costly and the quality is usually average at most.

The hot water dispensing mode may be used to create some mud-coffee (very very finely ground coffee thrown in cup, then add water, stir, and wait until it settles). It's extremely resource efficient, taste like what it is: freshly brewed, an helps avoid the agonizing decision of whether the taste of Kcup coffee is any less painful than a vehicular incident.

The ones made by Nespresso are usually fairly good - the ones by Lavazza are even better but I have only the Nespresso machine. For the one time in a month that I use it is good enough.
I still have to try the mud-coffee though, but I lack the very very finely ground coffee. The moka grains are fine but still too coarse methinks...

Look for "Espresso" ground, or for really, really fine "Turkish".

"Espresso" ground can be fairly coarse, Lavazza usually are fine but they cannot be too fine or the cafetiere risks overpressure (been there, done that).

I use locally roasted beans [posts pasim] and them be good!

That certainly could be good - I do assume you're referring to coffee beans, or perhaps red kidney beans. Garbanzo are popular in some parts of EU, too, I'm sure.

No, I don't follow...
Are you saying that you are or aren't an alkaloidolic?

I freely admit that, one way or another, those Colombian alkaloids get to all of us.
And it can be a good thing.
