    The Chatty Pointless Thread

    The Matrix is good, I think, when viewed as a product of its time. It was groundbreaking in so many ways and perhaps influential in even more. By today's standards, it may not be the absolute strongest movie, but by 1999 standards? There was nothing like it. I saw it as a kid, so my view of...

    Queen Studios InArt 1/12 DC Figures

    The scale is a bit of a bummer, but I'm undecided on if it's thaaat much of a dealbreaker for me, since this is a line I'd really only be dipping into theoretically anyway. I just want a well done Origins suit; as nice as the original DC Direct figure was, it left a lot to be desired even then.

    Last Movie Watched

    Little Shop is one of my favorite musicals. I even played Mr. Mushnik in high school. I've always been something of a crotchety old man, I suppose. As much as I like the ambiguously happy ending to the movie, it's the Director's Cut for me all the way. I went to a screening of it pre-pandemic...

    Last Movie Watched

    I'll second the love for Weird. As a big fan of Al, I was a bit hesitant going in, but I had a great time. Not quite as absurd as something like Naked Gun, from what I remember, but as long as you accept that it's a parody of musician's biopics, then you'll have a good time. Daniel Radcliffe...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Huh. Hellboy would be cool. I only have some of the movie figures, but I wouldn't turn down a comic Hellboy with McF articulation and such. Grundy is certainly welcome, but I don't know if I need him in a 2 pack. I'd really rather he just release him single-carded. Knowing Todd, he'll probably...

    Jakks Pacific Simpsons

    Ah, hell, that family pack is how they coerce me into getting more of the 5 inch figures, isn't it? Much as I'd love to keep collecting the smaller figures, the thinner characters are just impossible to stand. But the whole family and their accessories for $20 is a pretty darn good deal.

    Can your services be hired to strike the fear of God into a young child or teen? Either to get them to behave better or just for fun? Asking for a friend. Also, you better post some pics if/when you do drag. And tell us what amazing drag name you come up with.

    The Pet Thread

    Agreed on avoiding pet insurance. I looked into it last year for my little kitty when he had to have some teeth removed, and everything I saw and discussed made me feel sick. I ended up just doing one of those payment installment plan things that they have specifically for vet visits; bit of a...

    Not to drudge up the kid talk, but my boyfriend and I went to visit his best friend in Maine this past weekend for her daughter's 3rd birthday, and man that kiddo is cute. So funny and smart, and, as weird as it is to say, so easy to get along with. Some kids are little devils, but she was so...

    Star Wars Movie and Streaming Series Discussion

    Exciting news! I don't honestly know if I've ever seen the originals as they were released. If I have, it's been a while. Though I'm sure that they'll at least touch up the picture a bit to make it clearer, and some nerds will complain that it's too clear to be the version they saw back then. 😅

    I've never really bought into it, but I certainly won't now. Throwing a huge hissy fit because we're sharing our password with Grandma, but then spending over a billy to acquire another company? Get outta here.

    General Marvel Legends

    My boyfriend and I are looking to move in together over the next year or so, and that's been my biggest thought. 😅 We don't even have that many big box stores here, so a place with more would be lovely, but I'd miss our smaller independent comic/secondhand shops and such. We both keep saying...

    Gaaah, I had to get him for that price. Forgot I got a free year of Target Circle Plus from some promo they were having, so shipping was free on him too. Couldn't pass him up for that price. Can always change my mind between now and then, but nice to lock in that price

    You Ever Get Tired of This?

    Money-wise, it's so up and down for me. Some months I look at what I spent and it makes me feel ashamed at my lack of control, others I look and am proud of myself for "somehow reining it in", when it reality, it's just that very few- if any- things I wanted released during that time. So much of...

    Star Wars Black Series

    I'll admit Krennic seemed a little redundant. I think if there had been more time between the updated face printing, he may have sold better. I think I'd just gotten my updated Krennic when they announced the Andor one, so there was really no need. I'd argue that SM-33 was wanted, though. I...

    Last Game You Played

    I can totally admit its flaws, but it was just one of those cases of hitting me at exactly the right time in my life- I loved dinosaurs, I hadn't played many Zelda games so I had nothing to really compare it to, it had a great soundtrack, it was cheesy but still had just enough charm, and had...

    Unless Netflix changes their stance on physical media reeeaaallly fast, I don't know if it's something I'd welcome. They seem to be allergic to releasing their shows and movies on physical media; every now and then we'll get something, but it feels like somebody had to pull teeth and...

    What are you listening to?

    *puts on nerd glasses* UM, ackshully....... That was great! Pretty much all things that I've thought about at one point or another. Star Wars really is one of those franchises that doesn't always hold up to much scrutiny once real world logic is applied, or it can be explained away by a simple...

    Him not having the rifle doesn't bother me thaaaat much; I can just give him the rifle from the old one if need be. Though I'm sure it means he won't have the hole on the back to peg it in either, which is a bummer since this one has softgoods. But yeah, him being a Target exclusive is...

    Now I need to know which episodes you watched, because I'd say that makes a difference too. The show- and Mask of the Phantasm- are all phenomenal, but like any show, there's definitely stronger episodes than others. But I guess we're all allowed one or two wrong opinions.... ;)

    I would kill for a live-action Phantasm, and I can easily see ScarJo in that role. A Reeves-helmed Mask of the Phantasm? Oooh, baby, come to papa!

    Last Game You Played

    As someone who hates or strongly dislikes a lot of the kinds of games that are popular- first-person shooters, vehicle-based games, turn-based games, strategy, etc., I feel you on that. I have my niche and I mostly stay there. Most "gamers" would probably hate me and my taste. For instance, the...

    The more that I look at it, the more I don't know why I'm trying to convince myself I'm not gonna get it. I'm totally gonna get it.

    Looks like they're redoing season 1 Mando on a newer body. Don't know how necessary it is, per se, but might be nice to have. I'll wait to see it in-hand before preordering, methinks.

    That's a good theory. I don't know how sold I am on Hush being the villain for the next movie. Not that I'd necessarily be against it, I just think that the logic most people are using regarding the "easter egg" in part 1 is a little reaching. That said, depending on how he's used, I wouldn't...
