Off Topic Discussion / Re: Gloomy Question For Vetera...

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 19, 2026, 07:44:23 PM

Lately I've found that my mind has been very focused on the future and those who will live in it.

We dwell in an unstable world. I know most times in history can have that said of them but it seems things are more terrifyingly tense than they've been in a very long time, with international alliances and outlooks shifting, nuclear proliferation, true hatred rising across the globe, the rattling of sabers and the rhetoric of coming conflict... For anyone who feels like making a reply to so bleak a question, how likely do you think it is that in about the next ten years our nation will face the equivalent of another world war? If war arises, where will it begin, or be fought, who will be involved, and what will the outcome be?

If no one here feels like going after this topic, which I know is out of place, believe me, I don't blame you. But as I said, the future and the likelihood of catastrophic war has lately been in my thoughts.

Really what this is is basically a silent movie and we are segwaying to a new Teddy. Taking a crap. I am one of those weirdos who believe that morality is still something. Not memorizing how many baseball players are able to speak perfect english, which is a "miracle" based on where they are from — this is the Hawaiian islands in the pliocene and we are waiting for Pat Robertson to get his love Dove head on and get us ready for the new armageddon.
Where I am from. Elongated Skull land apparently. A-Louie, Louie, no, no, no, no. That is a good song by the way, the conclusion is the Queen of the Gorgons is making a comeback. Sergeant Richard Swain fight me! And prove to me that virtual urban warfare is some sort of hasbendish deal, like listening to Jessie Jane Duff talk about brain tumors in veterans. Because you know this Derek dude would be all over it. He can tell you how elongated skulls solved the problem of brain tumors and

Bad Movies / Re: movies that namecheck anot...

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 19, 2026, 07:35:47 PM

some of these seem to be crossovers between a character being namechecked, and that character's had a movie named after them therefore it's a 'movie' namecheck... not sure how to deal with that aspect tbh.

Can't think off the top of my head but I'd be surprised if neither SHAUN OF THE DEAD nor HOT FUZZ mentioned a movie (or two)

Shaun of the Dead I remember some scene where they were throwing dinner plates like weapons at the zombies and sort of like chinese stars to actually kill the zombies. I thought it was kind of a homage to Oddjob from James Bond. I can't think of any name checking off hand with the zombie movies. Shaun of the Dead might be one of the better ones. I hope one day people can ween me back into liking zombie movies again.

Good Movies / Re: Childhood nightmare fuel p...

Last post by chainsaw midget - August 19, 2026, 07:08:55 PM

I know lots of people bag on BOGGY but it seems like quintessential nightmare fuel for children of the 70s and 80s. Incomprehensibly rated "G" (thus the scariest G-rated movie of all time), it played on TV for years during daylight hours, exposing countless kids to the "arm through the window" scene.    I am sure we are not alone in feeling traumatized at tender ages.

If anything what we need MORE of these days is movies that traumatize kids at young ages!

Good Movies / Re: Recent theatrical viewings

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY: Spider-Man fights a bad guy while dealing with unruly arachnid DNA, mooning over his amnesiac girlfriend, hosting cameos from other IPs, and gliding over plot holes. Entertaining enough exploitation of the usual Marvel formula, although adults might feel guilty about not spending time on something more substantial.

I feel no guilt. 

I enjoyed it.

Never found out what happened to that tape after I delivered it 😳

Don't rule out the idea that Nic Cage might have it.

Apparently he'd been in bad shape for a while now, and just kept getting worse so it's no huge surprise. 

Still, I loved him in the Phantasm series.

Judging from the movie poster ... I think he's the dinosaur.

BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS CATCH A FIRE 

I actually listened to selections from that this weekend (not the entire album front to back, though I have heard it before). I just learned I'll be visiting Jamaica this coming November.

You can do future set sci-fi if you want, I was just pointing out we don't have to go past 2026. 2010 is the future passed. Let's call it
