This will always be my Ninja Turtles show.
I grew up with that but remember absolutely nothing about it.
Grew up?
Correction: grew from age two to age seven. A lot can happen in five years.
The rest.
^Awesome dream.
Not half as awesome as most of your trippy dreams.
This was a trippy dream I had:
First, some subtext and backstory. I apologise for how complicated this is.
There is a kid at my school who is in year 7, and as such, doesn’t play an actual instrument, just a recorder. He always blows into it really hard at lunches to make the sharp high squealing noise, just to annoy everyone. I don’t know his name but he was in this dream.
Also present was this acquaintance of mine who also happens to be a transsexual (although hasn’t done anything physical to herself, just thinks of herself as a man).
Lastly, about a week ago, I was riding my bike to school. Around the corner from my school is this congested intersection, making it practically impossible to ride on the road there. So, like I usually do, I rode on the footpath around there. As I turned the corner, there was an old man walking in my path, though several feet away, so there was no way he could have been hit by my bike. But alas, he shouts out angrily “Look at this fuckwit on the footpath!” despite several younger kids being in his vicinity. I didn’t do anything, I just rode off.
So all this stuff actually happened, all these people just factor into the dream.
In the dream, me, the transgender girl, the recorder kid and a few other kids were for some reason sitting on computer chairs (the spinny kind on wheels) on the middle of a road near my place. For some reason, I was trying to impress the trans girl (who in real life I garner no attraction for), so I made some quippy joke about my hair colour, and the kids around me somehow couldn’t see my hair from where I was sitting, so Recorder Kid jumped off his chair and tried to come and take a look. I started scooting off on my chair, for some reason super fast, and Recorder Kid was chasing me. Eventually he caught up to me and exclaimed that my hair was dark blonde, not red as I had stated, and ran off to tell his friends. Then I heard the sound of a car from behind me and realised Recorder Kid was trying to run me over, so I started scooting off again, but he rammed me from behind and I jumped off the chair and onto the car, climbing around to his window, and then I started beating on him really ferociously, at one point biting down hard on his ear. Then, out of nowhere, the old man who called me a fuckwit in real life comes up to me, and says angrily that Recorder Kid is only seven years old (despite clearly being 12 or something), and even weirder, that he is his son. Old Man then gets a large log and starts chasing me with it, threatening to kill me. Luckily I am able to outrun him and get to my house (which is a short distance from this street we were on). I ran inside, where my mother and brother were sitting down, and I say that the old man is trying to kill me. I look outside and am glad that he has stopped pursuing me, but then see the car pull up the driveway and the old man get out with an oversized double barrel shotgun. My heart starts pounding, and I run to the phone, knowing that the police will never get to me in time, when the front door is blasted off it’s hinges and I am shot.
I woke up after that, adrenaline coursing through me, my heart still pounding, me head and chest hurting.
It was pretty weird.
Might’ve been strikinger 5 years ago.
It was the first thing I thought of when I saw what you looked like.
Why’d you watch the whole thing then?
Because it was family movie night and I wasn’t allowed to leave the lounge room.
It’s not really that striking.
It struck me.

Now I know that you bare a striking resemblance to this dude from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie.
Ghostbusters (2016)
It sucked. A lot.
3/10
I hate having to wear glasses. Actually, I hate having myopia in general but the constant pushing up of the glasses is annoying as all hell.
Oh yeah, I saw this a couple days ago. Great stuff.
JEDIT: The trailer that is, not the film.
ENEMY MINE (1985)
Finally was able to get a hold of a copy of this on blu-ray. Absolutely wonderful film! Everything came together just right for it. Outstanding writing, directing and performances from everyone involved. The transfer on this blu-ray is fantastic, sharp clear picture and good color. All of the effects by ILM still hold up very well. It’s such a shame that this film was never appreciated in its time and is mostly forgotten today. If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend it!
Oh yeah, my father showed me that in 2014 or 15. It was damn cheesy, but I enjoyed it for what it was. I liked the art direction.
Yes, I’ve become quite a fan of PornHub over the past few years…
Back to the Future Part II (1989)
To be honest, I prefer watching this movie to the first one, even though it isn’t as tightly plotted or consistent as that one.
8/10
Sometimes I’ll get really annoyed at Spuffy’s posts but then realise that everyone else probably feels the same way about what I post.
I adore the Star Wars comic series that started in 1998 and continued in Star Wars: Republic. I especially enjoy the comics based around the Clone Wars.
Down under. Only bad thing about it is how hard it is to get decent shipping prices.
Jyn was ridiculously boring, and Felicity Jones’ performance was bland as hell. That’s coming from somebody who liked the movie.
Watched the first episode of Iron Fist. I enjoyed.
I’ve been thinking about picking up any old EU book. What are people’s favorites beyond the obvious (Thrawn trilogy, Han Solo adventures)?
Not sure if you mean old as in from the 90s or old as in all of the original Legends stuff, but Outbound Flight by Timothy Zahn is my favourite at the moment.
Seventh Son (2014)
Despite a good performance and witty lines from Jeff Bridges, the whole thing fell flat and was just kind of lame.
4/10
And it was probably tomato. Tomato soup is gross and if I had to eat it I’d cry too.
Of course! That’s it! Mystery solved.
I watched some weird video today called “Blank Soup Room” where a man eats soup and sobs, before two men dressed in weird masks come in and start nodding and patting him on the back, and chuckling softly. They then retreat to the back of the room, before one rushes the man and the video ends. Fake or not, it somehow creeped me out. Dunno, what do you guys think?
I couldn’t even sit through it once. It’s not funny and it’s not exciting and it’s two hours long. I’d probably rather watch all three prequels in a row than the Holiday Special once.
Absolutely
Definitely.
I know that a lot of fans who talk about the prequels as though they’re the worst films ever tend to watch them from time to time. I actually don’t think the prequels are among the worst films ever, but I don’t enjoy them at all and I plan on never watching them ever again. If any of you are here, what exactly is the appeal of revisiting and somewhat frequently rewatching films that you can’t stand?
I don’t mind them.
