I had a strange and wondrous dream several days ago. Time has blurred the memory and imagery of the dream, though, so my forthcoming recollection isn’t going to sound as awesome or as eerie as the dream truly was.

It began as one of my irritating “back to high school” dreams, but it evolved into a dream about me being a patient in a hospital. The chief physician — who looked exactly like Bob Gunton — wanted me discharged from the hospital. IIRC, I was actually being paid to be there, and Dr. Gunton didn’t like that. Plus he was involved in some illicit business dealings, and didn’t want me around to uncover them. There was another doctor there, a nice guy who kinda looked like Brian McNamara. He wanted me to stick around and tried devising ways to prolong my stay. In the end though, Dr. Gunton got what he wanted, and I was discharged. I stuck around, though, and tried to keep out of Dr. Gunton’s sight as I searched the hospital for clues. IIRC, I eventually found out that he was in league with evil Lovecraftian entities.

At one point in the dream, while I was wandering about the corridors, Audrey Horne from Twin Peaks manifested out of thin air before me. She had come from the past, 'cause she was still young. She bore fresh burn scars, so I reckon she came from some point in time shortly following the second season finale, after she was caught in that bank explosion. Just as suddenly as she appeared, she vanished. Later, the present-day Audrey showed up. I, Dr. McNamara, and she discussed the event; she had no recollection of ever having experienced such a time warp in her past.

Red itself being “bad” is just a terrible idea though.

Exactly.

Ideally, lightsaber colours would be

A. chosen to represent the character’s persona

B. chosen to mesh with the character’s overall aesthetic

But nope. Red = bad & everything else = good for stupid EU reasons.

Lightsabers are deadly weapons used for maiming and killing people (and sometimes slicing up Tauntauns). The idea that Jedi are concerned with how their color matches their personality makes me giggle.

Jedi: “Hi, as you can see from my purple lightsaber, I am a Sagittarius from the volcanic world of Kadavo.”

Evildoer: (being sliced in half) “Cool.”

It wouldn’t be a conscious choice. Or would it?

I did forgot to list a third option:

C. Some people just gotta go with their favourite colour.

BTW welcome back to the forums. 😃

It’s good to be back. 😃

So God created Ape in His image rather than Man. Isn’t that spoiling the movie for newcomers?

• I sort everything in alphabetical order, excepting sequels/spinoffs.
• Sequels/spinoffs are sorted in release order.
• Films & TV shows are sorted together.
• BDs, DVDs, & VHSs are sorted separately.
• I store all my discs in DVD wallets (or whatever the hell they’re called), which I keep on a shelf beside the videotapes.

In the last month I read:

• The first twelve issues of Xenozoic Tales
• Amazing Fantasy #15 & the first 42 issues of The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 1
• Various issues from assorted early Valiant titles

Star Wars: The Original Marvel Years vol. 2
What a wonderful era of Star Wars this was. Back when there was only the original film and writers and artists were free to run around the galaxy however they pleased.

Eh, I dunno. I tried reading those comics a while back and they were just really lame. I reckon the Dark Horse comics absolutely blew these old Marvel comics out of the water, and the new line of Marvel comics are also way better. Those old comics don’t feel like Star Wars and just aren’t my thing.

This.

That.

I checked out a copy of Phantasm from my local library today. When the date to return it arrives, I think I’ll just keep the DVD and report it as lost. Hopefully the library won’t charge me an arm and a leg for it.

I suppose there’s a silver lining to living in an area coyotes frequent: most of my cats simply disappear.

Yeah, Welcome Back DE, that was a long time. And glad to see the new avatar.

It felt like the right time to show to a more positive face. As much as I hate modern copyright laws, I love Man’s infinite, diverse ways of understanding the Divine more.

Any changes on the pizza or job front?

Quoth the Testa, “Nope.”

Didn’t know the Christopher Reeve remake was on DVD. Is it any good?

Last time I watched it was a number of years ago. It’s nothing great — a pretty by-the-numbers late '90s TV movie — but I do respect it more than other modern remakes.

I created an account a number of days ago. Here’s my profile for all interested: https://letterboxd.com/duragizer/

I’d like to compliment myself on not being as crabby and confrontational toward all you lame fucks lately as I had been getting in kind of a funk lately because of how lame you all are.

Possessed is such a rascal.

Dahmage is the best person to eat with pizza.

Is it wrong to think that Darth Vader and the Emperor would make a cute couple?

They’re both fugly, so yes.

I am curious to hear your thoughts on Spidey Homecoming DE, if you care to share.

Tom Holland was good. Michael Keaton was good if I pretended he wasn’t the Vulture. Everything else about the movie — the casting, the characterization, Iron Man’s omnipresence in the plot, the high-tech spider-suit — was so far off base of the source material that it pissed me right off.

At this point, it’s safe to say that aside from the Daredevil & Punisher series’, I’m completely done with the MCU. Aside from the first Captain America movie, I haven’t really liked any of the films anyway.

I approve of your rating system.

I can’t support a system that makes it impossible to score a perfect 10, even though I dunno if I’d give any film a perfect score.

My scale runs 0-9. 0 Sober Barnies = 1 on an average 1-10 scale.

Seeing the X-Files go on like this makes me sad. I love the early seasons.

Whereas J. Michael Straczynski took time and care crafting Babylon 5, making sure he had the series’ story planned out years in advance, making significant changes only when real-world issues got in the way, Chris Carter has no vision, no goal, makes shit up as he goes along, and changes his mind on a whim.

Chris Carter is the Anti-Straczynski.

I went this route when I first began rewriting the PT back in 2008. However, my rewrite then was essentially going to be the Lucas PT with the superficial details changed to bring it in-line with the OT & some of the older EU; I wasn’t starting from scratch.
