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

Ben Affleck is okay in PHANTOMS; Liev Schreiber is legit capital-G Great in PHANTOMS.

It could be though.

Man, if Soylent Green is something that is continuously name checked in a movie, that might be something to take more than a casual note of. And perhaps name checked in a Bad movie is more relevant than a good one.

I looked on this fandom thing about Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz and it doesn't really say much. Oh yeah Elton John name checks (sorta) Wizard of Oz, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." If you want to talk about genius it is that song. Is there any movie that name checks The Carlton? That Alfonso Ribeiro trademark dance from Fresh Prince? I could have sworn that there was. I feel like I am in some kind of false world delusion right now. Not quite that this is a pointless world but almost like Dante's Inferno. And so yeah, I was slightly off with Shaun of the Dead. They throw records at the zombies. Not dinner plates. My guess is that those records were either made at Area 51 or they were lacquered with the same stuff that Donald Trump puts in his hair. Does Ghostbusters II count when that mean obnoxious kid stands in the face of Dan Akroyd and says he wants to hear He-man. Because "you guys are full of crap." He-man aka Masters of the Universe?

I came close to offing myself quite a bit. They didn't work. Thankfully I would say. It's quite a moment when you're at that point and you know you messed up.

damn, sorry to hear

a very close friend has had bipolar for years, and has to take lithium.

not sure how it manifests in different people, but he has had several 'episodes' over the years where he just loses it completely. at any other time he's the nicest most calm guy you could hope to meet

Yeah, it's dependent on a few factors. There's bipolar 1 & 2. I'm bipolar 2, which is more on the "depressive" side of it, with some mania, but my mania is not as severe... But the depression lasts longer than #1.

In mine, I've A few comorbid issues with it: insomnia, anxiety and PTSD, with addictive personality. I go days at a time with zero sleep, and spend several days drinking at a time. So we're trying to settle it. They're worried about the amount...

I was underwhelmed by Imperial Bedrooms but Lunar Park was absolutely dreadful - worst thing he's written. I'm sure I will get suckered into The Shards eventually...

I wonder why people think that there is so much money in weapons manufacturing. Maybe it's because movies always have armament manufacturers as being the biggest and most powerful ones in the world. The truth is the percentage of budgets spend on military matters is generally a tiny percentage (2 to 5% of most national budgets). The world's largest arms company makes about 65 billion US dollars in sales per year, compared to 500 billion in sales for a company like Amazon.
