All that is required to maintain membership is permanent residence in Southern California (so much for "foreign") and a mere four published articles per year, often in obscure publications that aren't freely disclosed.

(0 children) Fun fact, Flame Throwers have no federal regulations in regards to civilians use and ownership, and 40 out of the 50 states have no laws regarding them either. Most states that do regulate them also only count unlawful possession of one as a misdemeanor too! http://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/2s78s5/sigourney_weaver_tests_out_the_flamethrower_prior/
TIL that Robert Zemeckis wanted the trailer for Cast Away to spoil the entire plot because "we know from studying the marketing of movies, people really want to know exactly every thing that they are going to see before they go see the movie.

I suppose when you're big enough to sell the movie on the title alone, you can afford to have more mystery as to the plot. I bet they could only have one more trailer for the new Star Wars movie along with a few TV spots and everyone who is physically able will be there opening weekend. Then there's movies like Chappie, which had a pretty interesting teaser and then a full trailer that showed the whole movie, and how the director hasn't really branched out much from his typical formula. http://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/2s7464/til_that_robert_zemeckis_wanted_the_trailer_for/

Unfortunately she moves into a haunted house where the ghosts are decidedly more terrifying than the Maitlands. So she uses the handbook to go to the afterlife and get them to back off, and when they won't help, she calls Beetlejuice to fix it. Or it could be like The Frighteners. Lydia Deetz is a paranormal investigator with connections to the afterlife. Eventually she comes across something big and bad that she can't handle on her own so she brings in her own big guns with Beetlejuice. http://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/2s5t7l/beetlejuice_sequel_to_be_set_in_present_day_and/
