Come to Texas and meet scorpions. They’re just like cockroaches, but armed.

Didn’t the initial “Tripping the Rift” short, “Love and Darph”, precede this?

I don’t disagree, but one of the things that I thought was amazing about W&G was that we had read three books talking about how Susan Delgado was dead, and yet still through the whole book I found myself desperately hoping it wouldn’t happen. I’m always impressed when a storyteller can keep tension in a story you…

I’ve loved The Stand since I first read it shortly after it came out.

I thought Sean Penn would have made a great Randall Flagg...

Man, I couldn’t even keep up with the DC stuff when it was just Arrow and Flash.

Ugh. “Pipe-weed” was not pot despite the movies’ coy attempts to imply so.

I have a memory of one of the very earliest trailers showing the scene from fellowship that’s kind of a hero shot of all the characters walking past the camera - shortly after they’ve left Rivendell. I remember seeing it in the theater and just about weeping.

Worth noting that not all of these are necessarily kid-friendly - my fiance recommended we watch Amelie when you then-12-year-old was taking French. Let’s just say she’d forgotten some of the more awkward parts.

Love that song, but this would have been mine:

100% the exact same thought.

Years ago I read an article about when it’s time to stop following a show - basically, when you find yourself saying “I don’t care what happens to these characters”. I hit that with Walking Dead many seasons ago (I could go farther and say I actually wanted all the main characters to just die in a fire).

TGP is one of…

I saw Darby O’Gill when I was seven or eight and the banshee scenes scared the ever-loving crap out of me.

The second Halloween we ever took my son trick-or-treating, we got back to the house and told him we were going to watch a Halloween movie that he had never seen, and that he could have a couple pieces of candy. He grabbed a lollipop just as we started Nightmare Before Christmas, and then he sat there unmoving with…

There’s something about the little, “so there” nod he does after he takes his glasses off that just breaks me.

Oh dip. That one’s great too.

Oh my god, how could you not call out “THE REASON IS FRIENDS!”?

My 2019 resolution was to do 10,000 pushups in the year. It’s not particularly ambitious, average of just under 30 a day, but it was more about sticking with it. I just checked off my 7500th pushup this morning - just have to do 25 a day for the rest of the year to complete it.

Same here. I think it was pretty explicit - it seemed incredibly clear to me what they were saying. I don’t know how someone could watch the movie and NOT come away with that interpretation.

My boys loved scary movies when they were younger (think 12 and 7) so we rented this one night; I’d read the book so figured it would be a fun romp. That ending resulted in projectile weeping and trauma from both boys. Was NOT prepared for that.

Also - what the heck do I have to do to get out of the greys? I’ve been participating in conversations on this thing for years and years.
