KillerQueen

BOTH Bill and Ted movies are on NETFLIX… AWWWW YISSSSSS! Keanu… O.O

Wow, you guys are a godsend, I have enough to keep me distracted for quite a bit.

I love finding new-old films.

The Roadgames one, anything like The Hitcher? Im talking the old one with Rutger Hauer. WHAT A MOVIE!

I swear, I was born in the wrong era… I mean I was born in the 80s, but didn’t really get to experience it you know. 90s… BLUGGGGHHH

Sometimes it sure does

Just looked up a synopsis for Empire of the Sun, I’m definitely going to look for this one.

War films really interest me.

Thank you

The Lost Boys, a great one. Although all the sequels… Not so much

Also, The Beastmaster WAS awesome

You guys seem to know just what I’m looking for, it’s friggin’ great.

Hmm, it’s like choosing between Apocalypse Now and Apocalypse Now Redux?

Holy shit, so many awesome suggestions.

I’ve seen most of what has been suggested, however, Time Bandits seem to be one that I haven’t seen but should. I’m definitely going to add the ones I can to my netflix list and see if I can find the rest online somewhere to stream. I’m pretty cheap, haha.

@Neglify, I actually own most of the films you listed here or have watched them more than a few times. I have both the Sleepaway Camp series and Nightmare on Elm Street boxed sets. I really love horror films. Return of the living Dead… Horror but not. Stand By Me, I even read this novella. Jeez, so many good ones.

I think I’m going to attempt Blade Runner first since it popped up first on my Netflix queue.

Thanks again for all the great suggestions!

Thanks for the suggestions so far, it’s funny one of you mention Platoon, I watched that last night. GREAT film, one of my favorites actually. ALSO, I saw Escape from L.A. on Netflix and am assuming Escape from New York is the first in the series? Would I need to watch Escape from New York to understand Escape from L.A. or are they non-related?

Dek Rollins, you had some very good suggestions also, I might have to search for First Blood again and the original Predator. Can’t say I’ve seen Wrath of Khan, though I’m a huge Star Trek series fan.

I googled Canadian Bacon, though its a 90’s film, it has John Candy in it so I might check it out

The Key, however, seems kinda’ romance-y or murder mystery with romance in there. I might save that one for another time

My Dinner with Andre seems pretty familiar, I’m going to look at that as well.

Thanks again

It can be any genre EXCEPT romance anything.

I really like war films and films like Fletch… I loved Fletch. So good.
Anything Chevy Chase, John Candy, and Kurt Russell

OH ALSO, I really liked blackadder series - so if anyone could also recommend a series similar to that, that’d be great.

Anyways, I’ll appreciate any suggestions

Thanks in advance

I’ve got plenty to bitch about but it probably won’t do me a bit of a good –

I hate the fact that what’s bothering me is nothing I can control and at the same time mostly my fault. I know it’s stupid and I’ve heard more than a few people tell me to “forget about it and move on”.

I’d like to tell this folks to fuck right off because I’m not one of those people who can switch my feelings on and off like a fucking light switch. Also, if I could even MANAGE to do this, I’m pretty sure the good would go a long with the bad. Make sense?

I’d also like to take a moment and bitch at myself for having more than a few reminders of this bullshit hanging around me 24/7 and it’s nothing I can really get rid of.

Okay, I think that’s about it.

@Mike O, I read your post, most recent post, I’m not sure if you’ve posted more on this thread but the post I did read, I felt like this needed to be said.

I can’t tell you how much I can relate to how you are feeling. I see a lot of myself in your words and although it probably doesn’t help all that much, know that you are NOT alone in feeling this way. I’m going through a somewhat similar situation and I can’t tell you how much I’m sick of feeling this way and that I feel like what I’m going through can’t even remotely compare to pretty much any other person’s problems.

I see that you are very much worried about your friend because they are going through a really tough time. Dealing with a suicide is one of the most difficult things one can go through because often we feel as if we could of done something. All you can do for your friend is to be there if they need someone to listen and assure them that everything will eventually be okay.

As for you, I want to tell you a few things – You know, you say that you constantly check these threads that upset you and you can’t seem to help it. I struggle with something similar and I know… I know it’s REALLY fucking hard to not give in and you feel compelled to do this. Maybe try this, look at it as “hey it’s been X amount of hours since I’ve looked, I really don’t need to go there” or set it in your mind that you’ll look when you get up and/or before you go to bed. Something like that, to try and control yourself so you don’t get as affected.

I know, for me personally, I tell myself “You’re not going to do this until bed time” and although I’ve only made that once, I did make it. And the result was still the same. You’re exactly right about it being an obsessive compulsion and it can be managed. Once the obsession is acted upon, I bet for a while you feel some sort of relief from your anxiety but then the pattern starts to repeat itself. That’s how it is for me, anyway.

You mention that you distract yourself with video games, hey me too. I’ve been trying to get back to that myself. Gaming is great to escape reality and mostly harmless. If you ever need someone to game with, I’ll give it a go.

Mainly, I know you’ve heard it a million times and so have I, but I really do think time will likely help with your situation. That, and a commitment to want take control of your emotions. I’m really sorry that you’re going through this and I hope that you find peace.

Hang in there.

Sorry to hear that. 😦

As promised, I’ll say a prayer or two for you.

Thank you kindly for taking the time to do that.

I don’t know how to really word this, but I guess I’m asking for a prayer request or just a positive/calm thought. Today has been really rough for me, I don’t think I can talk about why, but I would appreciate anything resembling peace at the moment. I guess you could say my soul is very tormented at the moment and although time is supposed to be on my side, it feels like it’s the enemy. It’s supposed to get better a little each day, yet it feels like everyday is worse than the previous.

I don’t know, it’s incredibly stupid what’s going on with me, and it shouldn’t affect me as much as it does, but holy hell, today was f**king horrible.

Well, if any of you want to play Division. Just include your gamer tag and maybe we can play sometime.

I also have BF4, although I’m not very good, I just mainly play for the fun of it.

I’ve played Portal and Team Fortress 2, but none of the Star Wars or X-Com games.

I typically choose co-op or MMO type games, FPS games tend to be my favorite though. I suppose I could start playing MGS: Phantom Pain again. Although, I’m so anal about doing everything stealthy, I sometimes restart the missions if I’m discovered.

So, I saw some of the gaming threads but, since I’m one of those people who only game on PC, I thought I would ask - Are any of you PC gamers and what have you been playing recently?

I don’t own consoles because I’ve always been about PCs, in general. I actually built the one I’m on now for gaming specifically. Just upgraded the graphics card recently for The Division and Black Desert Online.

Anyways -

I’ve been playing Tom Clancy’s The Division lately, when I do play anything.
I’m also waiting for Dark Souls 3, although, I’m not sure if I’ll be getting it since well I lost my co-op player so-to-speak.

So, this pretty much sums up my week.

Big Trouble in Little China - I watched it last night trying to lighten my mood.

I know if I would of been myself I would of loved the hell out of it.

@Post Praetorian,

It’s an extremely difficult time for me, however, I feel like it would sound silly to all of you and it’s why I didn’t actually mention it. It’s hard to talk about because it as you know, when you talk about something difficult, that forces you to actively think about it. It’s something I can barely handle as it is, so thinking about it just makes it too real. Being a person with a psychology background, I know that the worst thing you can do is avoid the hard feelings, but, right now, I can only handle it at certain times. This, that I’m dealing with, has essentially happened to me before, almost two years ago actually. I guess it’s harder this time because I was convinced it would never happen again or maybe I just convinced myself. Who knows? All I know is that I need to keep myself busy, so I don’t think about it.

Thank you though, for taking the time to actually ask. That’s very nice of you.

Gaming, I’ve always been a PC gamer and just before this thing happened, I threw myself into Tom Clancy’s The Division. Great game, I actually would love to find some other people to play, it’s just a matter of me making the effort to play again. Like I said, I love gaming, it’s just a bit difficult right now because everything is reopened and associations were made, triggers, basically. Now I know I sound like a neurotic crazy lady. -_-
I also have Black Desert Online, which I can’t bring myself to play.
I WAS waiting for Dark Souls 3, I kind of still want to play it when it comes out, but it’ll just be too hard, too many memories attached to that series to play it right now.

I’ve seen episodes of Mystery Science Theatre when ScyFy was still SciFi and airing them occasionally on Saturday mornings. Although, I’vbe always preferred stuff like The Twilight Zone and Stargate when it comes to science fiction. I’ve tried Doctor Who, I know there’s a huge fan base, and I watched a lot of the newer series, it just didn’t do much for me.

I find that watching horror helps when I’m feeling the way I am and when I mean horror, I mean horror. I get it in my mind that no matter how bad I’m feeling, well, atleast I’m not in that situation. Its a numbing thing I think. I’m talking The Shining, Pet Sematary, Misery, The Lost Boys — Although The Lost Boys isn’t really “horror” neither along with Misery. Those films have a certain distraction for me still, I don’t know why.

I’ve always had a thing for muscle cars, not sure why. My knowledge of the mechanics doesn’t go too far, so I couldn’t tell you much about that. The look of them does it for me, I don’t like the newer looking “sports” cars.

Killer Queen is a song by Queen, check it out. It’s one of my favorites and boy do I have some favorites.
Steve Miller Band
Queen
Boston
The Eagles
Lynyrd Skynyrd

Just to name a few, I normally listen to classic rock on the way to school (I’m graduating this May. Trying to be excited about it, but I guess it’s the furtherest thing in my mind right now. It’s a huge accomplishment, it still doesn’t change the fact that I feel like shit… Heh) and they play a lot of different bands, all classic rock, absolutely nothing else and it’s why I love the station so much.

Ha, Axel Rose, that’s very unfortunate, I must admit I don’t really care for Guns N Roses. His voice… Not so much for me. I don’t know why. The same with Rush… Please don’t stone me, I just really don’t like Rush. While I can appreciate the musical aspect, his voice kills it for me.

As for what I look like, a more accurate image of me would be a short geeky chick. No bandanas, I assure you. Just a regular gal.

I guess that’s all for now.

@Everyone else, thanks again for the warm welcome. Again, I didn’t really think I’d get many replies.

I can’t tell you the best album because I own none of them, a little before my time actually, but when I do listen to music, it’s always classic rock. Taking a bit of a break from tunes, because tunes and emotions don’t mix.

Some of my favorites though in no particular order:

Queen
Steve Miller Band
Boston
Styx
The Eagles… Oh my God, I love the Eagles
Lynyrd Skynyrd

Not even the tip of the iceberg, but these are who I listen to the most.
I play acoustic guitar sometimes and I find that classic rock was the era of GREAT guitaring. I don’t know what happened after the 80s.

First off, I’m already insane. It’s a given, so this could be perfect for me.

Second, thanks for all the replies already, didn’t expect that.

Hey everyone,

I guess I should introduce myself somewhat, at least, but first I’ll tell you why I’m here. I’m not really a fan of Star Wars all the much, so try not to hold that against me. The reason I am here is because I’m going through a rather rough time and need a distraction. I’m not one to really reach out for help or to others, but my friend here convinced me to do so.

Now with all that being said, I guess I should say a little about myself. I’m a huge fan of old cheesy horror films, I love video games, I’m an avid gamer, usually anyway. I have a fascination with old muscle cars, particularly mustangs. Mustangs are my favorite, hell, I drive a mustang, so I may be bias.

I’m not sure as to what else you guys would want to know.

Oh yeah… Classic rock is my thing.
Killer Queen is one of my favorite songs, hence, the username.
