then lots of users started to treat this thread like it was created yesterday.
I did not! It’s been seven years since the last update, and if Frink was lazy that makes seventeen years, so it’s long due for an update.
I vote ye.
I’m sick and I’m tired of being broke and being useless and being alone. I want things to change – I want to move out, I want to get a job, I want to meet a lovely, vivacious, spiritual lady who will complete me – but there’s no one in my life to help me and I don’t know how to help myself. I feel trapped, isolated, and empty.
I’m feeling this a lot lately. Though I am not in the exact same situation, life has felt incredibly empty lately, and I’m stuck on a path I can’t get off, with no opportunities to better myself.
The most music I have of anyone is Ennio Morricone.
The dirt lends it character.
It looks like a cheap ripoff to the opening of Da Vinci’s Demons.
Regular classes are full of dummies, it’s kind of shocking. I don’t think you’d enjoy high school either way. I took a mix of APs and regulars and got nothing out of it.
I don’t like most of the clothing I see. What the heck is going on.
Robots was the first movie I ever saw in theaters.
Today’s “make Ray feel old” post.
Yeah, you’re not the only one…
I like the theatrical…
Very sorry to hear this! Wishing you the best!
One more is Mystery Men. I enjoyed it. Dunno why I sold the DVD. Gonna buy the Blu-ray disc eventually. Decent comic book to movie adaptation.
This is one I forgot about whenever I read the thread title, but I enjoyed this one very much.
I know I’m a monster, but while I liked '09 and STID, Beyond was very meh to me.
You take that back.
Jesus.
Facebook sucks.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
Found out about an event screening and just couldn’t miss the opportunity to see this on the big screen.
Was it worth it?
Silly Question, was Silly.
I’ve been disappointed by these things in the past. The theater uses their low-res, preshow projector for the feature, and many times I’m all alone. At that point, the Blu-ray is a better alternative. I’d go to be surrounded by people who love it just as much as I do, and to get a true theater experience.
Plus I wasn’t sure what suspiciouscoffee thought of Wrath of Khan.

Was it worth it? Director’s cut or theatrical?
The problem is that film used as a verb is quite efficient, compared to capture with a digital movie camera or even shoot in digital 4K.
And no one has coined a similar term that conveys the technology involved. We could steal a phrase from A Clockwork Orange and say we’re viddying it? 😉
Record?
I recall kids using Atari or Ataris for video games in general. I’m sure Nintendo superseded that at some point.
And game cartridges were called “tapes”, haha.
My pet peeve is how people use film to describe shooting something with a digital device.
It may be unsurprising to learn I also find this grating.
I blame that on a teacher back in college who fumed if you said you were filming when you were actually shooting on videotape. He was secure in his belief video could never replace film and mocked early attempts at shooting movies in High Definition video.
I don’t blame him, looking back on those early digital movies is not a pleasant experience. And I wouldn’t be on this forum if I didn’t have some love for film.
People should stop saying “I bought the VHS”. It’s a tape, or a video, or a VHS tape, it’s not “a VHS”. Likewise, it is a VCR, not a “VHS player”. This seems to be a new trend.
Regarding this subject, I don’t think it’s a “new trend”. I grew up using VHS tapes a lot in the early 2000s with parents who would have used tapes in the format’s prime, and when I was little people called them whatever they felt like. Everyone said “a VHS” and “VHS player” at one time or another.
That is incredibly strange.
I think it’s a non-issue.
Most people do. That’s why they use the wrong terms. I’ll just need to accept it.
Mostly, I’m just annoyed the terminology has changed long after the format died, and everyone seems to think the new way of saying things was the way it was always said. It just sounds wrong.
People should stop saying “I bought the VHS”.
People are still buying the VHS?
I don’t know, but I read people putting it like that when reminiscing on their exposure to a longtime favorite movie, and other similar situations. My local library just got rid of all their VHS tapes in the past few months.
Probably is a new trend we like to drop unnecessary words from sentences.
Just like I dropped “it” from the beginning of that first sentence.
Also people say I bought the Blu-ray. That’s about the same right?
You would say, “I bought it on VHS”, or “I bought the VHS tape”. Saying “I bought the VHS” just sounds silly, considering I never heard anyone say it like that when people actually used the format. I know I’m losing this war, anyway.
