I am not sure if it is good or not, but I recall seeing Arena a bunch on tv. I cannot remember the plot, but for some reason some guy needs to box a bunch of aliens like some sort of intergalactic punch-out.

I haven't thought of that movie in at least 30 years, drat. Boy Paul Satterfield was not a very convincing action star.

I want a movie set in the crossfire universe I remember once watching the preview channel and seeing Crossfire coming up on cspan and getting more excited than I’d ever been in my life.

If we're gonna have to continue to see Star Wars everywhere I want them to at least make it interesting. Like Empire vs Predator. Have a movie where a squad of storm troopers is sent to figure out what happened at a remote outpost they lost contact with and they're all horrifically murdered.

As for 80's movies Tootsie is on Showtime right now and combined with Mr. Mom my views on gender roles were definitely set in a very peculiar way. I would've also included Three's Company but that was a 70's show.

We just re-watched LotR like three weeks ago in a few bits and pieces. It definitely shows it’s age in a lot of parts, and I have to remind myself that Frodo being an insufferable dick is because of the ring and also that he’s like 18 years old and just doesn’t act as strongly as everyone else in my opinion, but c’mon that poo poo’s classic. Still going to re-watch it every year. Leave it alone. Prime already tried and ate poo poo.

The studios remaking LOTR or Ghostbusters or whatever else you cling to from your younger years doesn’t take away that original thing. WB isn’t going to gather the original films up and light them on fire in the middle of the lot. Ignore the new dumb poo poo and move on with life. I think that’s probably a big part of it actually; people will complain about reboots and remakes and then still go see whatever dreck they pumped out on opening weekend, and the cycle continues

Same as far as it's been a while and I can't completely recall, but I think the gist is hobbit years are different and he was portrayed as teenager/young adult. And then obviously becomes a youngish hobbit who has been through some poo poo fairly quickly.

Sorry, I meant Elijah Wood himself is 18 or 19 or something when they started shooting, and I feel like his acting is a little hammy and meh sometimes because of his young age E: Frodo is an insufferable dick because of the ring and that’s part of the story, Elijah Wood has somewhat corny acting because he’s a tiny baby back then is what I’m getting at T-Square fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Mar 2, 2023 |

Nothing I care too much about, but there's some stuff you can't find anywhere to stream if you did care. HBO is moving things like Westworld to free streaming services such as Tubi, because they’ll get those sweet sweet ad dollars instead of whatever pittance people we’re giving them from their HBO bundled with Hulu or whatever. The only stuff that isn’t seeing the light of day is things like Batgirl which was shelved without ever being released. Even so, the studios know that there’s money to be made with stuff like that. Disney has been “opening the Disney vault” for years to great effect. Of course if your tastes are significantly more niche than you’re going to have trouble finding what you want on a streaming service, but I also think you’re probably less likely to see your niche interest rebooted/remade.

HBO moving things off their service is about paying royalties too. If they keep it on their service and someone watches it, now they have to pay some money out. If they ditch a bunch of things, then they don't have that liability. Most streaming services will probably move to that kind of model where they figure out exactly how much stuff they need to keep on to retain people, while limiting how much in royalties they need to pay out.T-Square posted:Sorry, I meant Elijah Wood himself is 18 or 19 or something when they started shooting, and I feel like his acting is a little hammy and meh sometimes because of his young age Yea, Elijah is 42 now, so he was 19 or so when they started filming.

In Fellowship, there's a line something like "But no one knows where the ring is, do they? Do they, Gandalf?" and he puts the emphasis in all the wrong places. Edit: He put the wrong emPHASis on the wrong syllABLE.  Reminds me of Kim Cattrall doing the same in Star Trek VI, when she emphasizes "only" when saying "thrusters only while in spacedock."

Was the whole thing we were told as kids about breakfast being the most important meal of the day just more propaganda from Big Grains? Breakfast is bullshit, it's only the most important meal of the day if you want to be a big ol' fat rear end.

A light breakfast, typically like a banana and/or granola bar, is pretty much the only thing I can eat that doesn't make me super full to the point where I skip or take a late lunch. Going out to eat breakfast usually makes it so I go the next 10-12 hours without needing to eat. I do crave a good chicken fried steak every now and then though.

I’ve found what works for me in terms of weight loss is to just drink coffee and be hungry until lunch time, but I suppose the most important thing is to limit yourself to two reasonably sized meals for the day regardless of timing. When I take that third meal and any snacking out, it makes <2000 daily calories pretty doable.

To be honest, my breakfast most days is a granola bar and water. I don't have time to make a real breakfast except on the weekends. One of my favorite meals is a big ol breakfast skillet though.
