Off Topic Discussion / Re: Bipolar
Last post by zombie no.one - August 26, 2026, 02:16:00 PMI created a blog shortly after I joined this place... designed a banner and other stuff for it, and then made zero posts ever! it stayed up till a couple of years ago but now seems to have been deleted (not by me).
Never occurred to me to write about giving up smoking and drinking... not sure I'd have much new insight to offer... there's a Bill Hicks sketch where he talks about the guy who wrote a book about jogging: "I mean, what exactly do you write about jogging? Left foot, right foot.... go home shower!"... I'd feel a bit like that!
I do remember entire days would go by where all I could think about was either wanting a cigarette, or just thinking about the fact I was giving up. saw how much it dominated my life.
apparently a bunch of tobacco execs once testified under oath that nicotine was not addictive. so you're battling an entire industry that wants you hooked... or at least DID. smoking now seems socially and culturally taboo here. it's all vapes now (same difference?)

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 26, 2026, 01:24:12 PMMaybe The Hills Have Eyes? The original Wes Craven one. Especially if you have one of those Roku remote deals where you watch the movie but then get lost in Never never land and have to go on youtube to do the research on what the story is based on. Apparently a True story that happened in Scotland a long time ago. It is impossible to just watch The Hills Have Eyes. Once you hear that it "might" have been based on something you start going down that morbid nightmare road. Sawney Bean. EWWW!!

Off Topic Discussion / Re: So long Erich von Däniken
Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 26, 2026, 01:10:30 PMThe problem with all of these theories is that there is still hardly any proof. Yeah there was Noah's flood. But ok. Beyond you saying that there are flood myths all over the world what is it that you are trying to actually say? And I can't even get into Giorgio Tsoukalos anymore. I used to. He has gotten boring or even second hat and no his crazy hair is not enough to spur any extra interest.
I think there actually was a Noah's flood. Beyond what it says in the bible, I don't have a clue. As far as Atlantis, I am still on the fence about that. If anything people like Von Däniken were a hit job against that..I mean if there is any actual truth to it, I think most of his work has been counter productive to finding out that truth. I mean Göbekli Tepe and places like that weren't discovered by him. And now the Turkish military guards these places. You seriously wonder why that is.
I always joke like with Erich von Däniken that he spiritually passed the baton off to Giorgio Tsoukalos. I mean they are both from Europe I think.

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 26, 2026, 12:37:38 PMQuote from: HappyGilmore on August 26, 2026, 09:46:19 AMI'm finally working again so I'm hoping to earn enough money to get my insurance back because right now I just can't afford them without insurance.
Let us know how that all goes. Because a lot of us are in the same boat. It would be cool if you could make a blog or something and do like a month to month thing. I have a blog but barely anyone looks at it. And I think me being Bipolar has something to do with that. Because you get into some kind of high where you get into a certain mood or feel and start posting and putting up chunks and chunks of material. And then something like a Dead zone happens. And you neglect it for like a year or more. And you look at your activity and it is kind of pumping and doing good for those moments when you are productive. But then when you stop it is like those people are wondering, Ok..What the heck happened to that guy. Nothing.
They are like "I liked what he/she was saying!" Yeah I mean it sucks. I got a bunch of likes and things too, but then when you hit that low and stop posting then you don't get any likes anymore. Of course it is because you aren't posting anything. The actor Joe Pantoliano has Bipolar. He has talked about it. No offense to him or people who like him, but I don't really get any inspiration from him talking about his Bipolar. I mean there are a lot of things that inspire me or get me feeling good and positive — like to get through it. But unfortunately you can't really convey some of those things like in a blog. It is basically just things that you keep to yourself. Actually checking in possibly to like a mental health clinic for a short stay isn't actually a horrible idea. They do things like activities and stuff and sometimes yoga.

Press Releases and Film News / Re: RIP Tim Curry?
Last post by sprite75 - August 26, 2026, 11:36:41 AMHis manager confirmed his passing.
Rest in peace, Tim Curry.
QuoteTim Curry, the charismatic star of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, has reportedly died at the age of 80.
His manager confirmed his death to The New York Times.
TMZ was first to report that the actor died late Tuesday at his Los Angeles home. A cause of death was not immediately given, though the actor had suffered from significant health problems since a major stroke in 2012 left him unable to walk.
Born Timothy James Curry in Cheshire, England, in 1946, Curry was the younger child of Patricia, a school secretary, and James, a Methodist chaplain for the Royal Navy. He had an older sister, Judith – a concert pianist, who died in 2001.
Rest in peace, Tim Curry.

R.I.P. I saw him interviewed in a documentary recently and he looked frail and almost unrecognizable. Cause of death has not yet been released.

Last post by HappyGilmore - August 26, 2026, 10:53:53 AMSeems legit. TMZ is reporting it, and while I'm not a fan of them, they're fairly accurate in reporting on this stuff.
Plus I'm seeing legit news places like The Hollywood Reporter and New York Post reporting it.

Press Releases and Film News / RIP Tim Curry?
Last post by Alex - August 26, 2026, 10:50:32 AMOk, not 100% sure on this because their was a hoax about his death a couple of days ago and it might be that the major news outlets have just picked up on it, but I am hearing from a lot of sources that the iconic actor from TRHPS, Clue and so many other things has died.
If it is true this is sad news.
