selec posted:seriously who the gently caress signed off on a dark “nothing is real/paradise is a trap” two parter I watched that again a while back and noticed the Prisoner references I missed as a kid, like Shipwreck living at Number Six, Village Lane. But it is disturbing in a way you might not expect, with Shipwreck breaking down and thinking he's going insane. And then there's the ending where he finds out his wife and daughter aren't real, and when he walks out of the house Lady Jaye says "Was there something important in there?" and he says "No, just a dream."

I was basically only allowed to watch the news but I was allowed to watch any and all of the news, so that video of that guy being executed by pistol in Vietnam hosed me up as a child. It was on some frontline documentary or something. And videos of famines. Also my parents thought Unsolved Mysteries counted as the news enough for me to watch, so I was extremely terrified of the ever present very real threat of alien abduction.

My parents somehow allowed me to watch The Terminator when I was 6. Lifelong nightmares right there about red eyed dudes looking to kill you.

I was forced to watch It when I was 6 and I couldn't sleep for days afterward, I was allowed to tap out like halfway through and go outside. We had a big clothesline out there though and I kept thinking of the scene where Pennywise shows up from behind one. Stood there for like an hour with my bb gun aimed at it just in case lol

do we have a “help me find this piece of media I swear existed” thread on the forum? I am obsessed with locating a headache medicine commercial from the 80s or 90s that used either the original or a cover of “Release Me” by Englebert Humperdinck, which was IIRC a series of slow mo shots of close ups of faces looking pained, and I can never find any evidence it existed beyond my memories of it

i say swears online posted:anyone heard of The Regime on hbo? it just started this month and is supposed to be a "geopolitical satire" about "the danger of reelecting donald trump" and is "dangerously funny" It's none of those things except maybe "geopolitical satire", if said satire is mostly just sort of a generic eastern european state principally defined by a series of confusing accent choices and its love of beetroot. It's got like, 20% Terry Gilliam energy thanks to its two leads, but it needs several times more, and possibly actual Terry Gilliam behind the camera. It just feels kind of limp, like old lettuce. Oh, and the opening credits are easily some of the worst HBO have ever produced. Open Source Idiom has issued a correction as of 17:51 on Mar 29, 2024 |

Cael posted:My dad once told me when we were out "when I die, I want you to spread my ashes at Pat O'Brien's on Bourbon Street" and I laughed at him and he replied completely straight-faced "No, I'm serious". So I've got to come up with a strategy for dumping a bunch of ashes around a big fountain in the middle of a crowded bar at some point. have u ever seen the shawshank redemption it may hold the answer you seek for your morbid riddle

When I was visiting my folks last week I had to watch a dramatization of Orville Redenbacher reverse engineering the microwave bag. wait a minute are you saying orville redenbacher didnt invent the microwave bag who did he steal it from

Love how referential and adult some older kids shows could be in that kind of way. I will not make any deals with you. I’ve resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. My life is my own.
