Yeah, but you can't pull a Die Hard and get the drop on your cousins while pretending to surrender with a giant super soaker.

true but I was 13 when die hard came out and I don't think I saw it in the theater, so I was playing with those guns in a pre-die-hard world

we'd quote dirty harry though, "do you feel lucky, punk"

I was really unimpressed with it to be honest. I get what it was trying to do but I didn't like it at least compared to other Ghibli films. But Dave is fantastic as the Parakeet King for sure.

my first knock down, drag out squirt gun fight was at a luncheon my parents attended for some neighborhood thing. I did not have a squirtgun (my mom didn't want me to have any kind of toy gun because she knew I'd be insufferable with it) and my mom managed to find some piece of poo poo hand held one. The kind that had the plastic plug and you just kinda like held the gun in a bucket of water. Anyway all the kids had supersoaker 50s and 100s and I just got worked. I had a great time, but apparently all the parents were watching the fight out the window and other dads were pointing out how I was just getting Willem Dafoe In Platoon'd every time.

I thought it was pretty good aside from not having much to do with Godzilla. Like he comes up in convo and you see him a couple times but it’s more just people existing in a world where he (and other bigass monsters) exist

I had those Robotix toys, and more G.I. Joes than Transformers because they were cheaper. That said, my child brain was :aaaaa: when I got a Jetfire one Christmas.

I saw Ran last night instead of watching Monday Night Football and :drat: that movie is amazing on the big screen. That Akira Kurosawa guy has a promising future in filmmaking, I tells ya. :v:

rip indeed, he was great

Rewatched Air Bud Golden Receiver (pretty sure it’s a rewatch, think I saw it when it came out in 1998 when I was 7 or 8) and, drat, what a movie. Successfully predicted a lotta football things though: the HC is an Italian-American stereotype who almost always has some form of Italian sub in his hand; the OC is the HC’s nepotism young son (he’s like literally 6) hire, but also an offensive wunderkind though they only call like two plays the entire movie; it’s about how much dog is within a player.

It’s got extremely late 90s vibes in its editing and cinematography and what you’d expect from a family sports comedy of that era. And its main theme is really about divorce (actually his mom was widowed when dad the test pilot went up in a ball of cool, sympathetic fire, but it’s actually divorce) like how that era’s media had to touch upon divorce, alcoholism, and a bit of gay panic.

Was filmed in Vancouver and set in vague PNW, so it has some pretty locations, but also feels like it was funded by the ncfw? The HC wears a Seahawks hat the entire time which feels weird for a coach of a different football team idk. We’re also treated to a last scene cameo of Joey Galloway and Warren Moon’s random season with the Seahawks vs the 49ers. And Tim Conway and Dick Martin appear as incompetent announcers for some reason. O the kid does wear a raiders tank at some point so maybe it’s just west teams in general

There’s also a subplot where two Russian circus animalnappers have their sights on the golden receiver, nab him and lock him up with their other circus animals, but then the dog and a chimp escape and drive a truck and operate a hook and pour fish guts all over the Russians and porcupine one Russian’s rear end and it’s really something and really inspiring

Would recommend to watch with friend(s) and/or partner(s) looking for a dumb/entertaining movie while imbibing and/or smoking

We're gonna go camping tomorrow night. Yeah, winter camping, and the forecast is partly cloudy, but we're gonna try and see the peak geminids. And get away from the mother in law for a night, lol. She's sweet but it's been a month now and it's starting to wear a bit thin. And probably 3-4 more weeks before her condo is done.

Oh yeah, MIL update. Grand total of money recovered, between the state controller, uncashed checks that are somehow still cashable, and calls in to companies to get other checks re-issued: something close to $30k. Her condo renovation is gonna be about $70k so close to half of it paid for from money she literally lost. And there's still a couple more things to chase down.

I still have my star wars hoth set in its very battered original box (with the UPC code cut off), which I think is only missing one part. Darth vader of course lost his light saber as they all did. My little brother snapped off one of hoth han solo's feet.



the one pictured here is missing the two lid things that go on the grey thing on the back. You could also put a guy up on the ice and hit the button and he'd fall over. Thrilling!

e. oh here's the box


it is lying viciously about the contents, you got han solo but none of the other figures.

I've got that Hoth set at my mom's house and also the Tattooine Sandcrawler set, and the Bespin Droid Factory. My grandma always had the best toys in her basement (My dad's and my uncle's stuff from the 40's and 50's) so I always was happy to save my toys for my little nephews and then my sister's kids to play with. Tons of Robotix, Lego, Stomper trucks, He-Man, GI Joe, Hot Wheels and Tyco racing sets also.
