  1. Re: A Thread for Random Videos One of the best Abbott & Costello routines of all time! Thanks for sharing it. Ah, Statler and Waldorf. How I missed their subtle wit.
  2. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Just watched Ghost of Frankenstein the other night on Svengoolie. They've also done Son of Frankenstein lately, which is my favorite Universal Frankenstein movie. Karloff, Lugosi in his best role, Atwill, and Rathbone all together? Amazing work!
  3. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Another old classic: Arsenic and Old Lace That has got to be one of the most hilarious movies I've ever seen.
  4. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I just watched Paranormal Events 3 together with my sister. She rented it "for me", then when she 'watched' it she spent half her time looking away from the screen. It was okay, but it seemed too over-the-top when I compared it to the first two movies, and there seemed to be no real explanation for where the VCR tapes it was recorded on came from. They appear in a bit from the second movie, and then they vanish before anyone looks at them. What the heck? I also saw an old favorite, the B&W Gunga Din, and mean to soon watch The Man Who Would Be King with Sean Connery.
  5. Re: "Neat" Pictures You'll have some great scenery, right up to the point where the lava hits your house.
  6. Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore So that's the Vader Burger. I wonder what the Jar Jar Binks special would look like?
  7. Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I might as well ask this here: a White Castle just opened up near my house, and I'm curious about their menu. I seem to recall some folks here as having talked about the chain. Is their food any good or not?
  8. Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic HERO Please do so! I know I'd love to see them.
  9. Re: Tigra (Marvel Universe) Didn't she go to hell herself at one point or another?
  10. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Yeah, that's a rather good question too. Thanks for letting me know that the show got better with later seasons. The local library has seasons 1-4*, and I may watch the later ones. * -- Not to mention the entire run of Dark Shadows, including the original series, the reunion show, the TV movie, and the 90's series. It takes up a whole shelf. One of our librarians must be one heck of a Barnabas Collins fan.
  11. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Some people I know of are impressed that they bypassed the usual Aesop and punishment about lying by showing Rarity's friends being supportive of her efforts to make some business contacts. They're of the opinion that it was a bold move for s kid's cartoon.
  12. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I've been watching a DVD collection of the first season of Stargate SG-1. I freely admit, I chose it from the library because I'd read the Stargate:Equestria fanfic and found it well done. But the show... yeesh. Y'know, my standards for SF aren't all that high. I enjoy space opera by Poul Anderson and Andre Norton. Heck, I like Star Wars. But the "science" on this show is basically nonexistent save for a few occasions (they did have Colonel O'Neill know what a black hole's accretion disk was, which was a nice touch of continuity, given that he was once in training for NASA -- but then he can't explain what a black hole is to Teal'c). And they seem to make some glaring errors in how the team acts, given that these guys are supposed to be (mostly) military. Like allowing members of the team to wander off by themselves when they're in alien and hostile territory, or taking an elderly civilian along on a mission to a dangerous environment staged by a top-secret project she shouldn't even have been told about, or staging a rescue mission for Teal'c's son and wife and then leaving them behind in their enemy's home territory after they rescue them. It just... something seems wrong when a man with no real military experience can look at their actions and ask, "Is this really what they would be doing under these circumstances?"
  13. Re: A Thread for Random Videos Why do I get the idea that I should be high if I watch this? Worst of all, I can remember an episode where the villain's sidekick (an anthro rabbit in a badly-done fursuit) takes over, so the villain outwits him by -- are you ready? -- dressing up in an even worse rabbit fursuit, a female outfit no less, and "seducing" him in a truly horrible segment. All this in a show aimed at kids.
  14. Re: "Neat" Pictures I had a copy of this when I was a boy. I got it at Dinosaur Land in Virginia when the family was driving back from a trip to St. Augustine in Florida. Man but I loved coloring that book. It's been over 25 years. Thank you so, so much for posting that link.
  15. Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I suppose the bacon roses are okay, but who in the heck would drink bacon soda?
  16. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Out of curiosity, how did you like it?
  17. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Just the other night on TCM I watched several classic horror films, including the immortal Night of the Demon and Vincent Price in House of Wax. I'd forgotten how creepy he could be when he worked at it. And of course, that laugh of his.
  18. Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic HERO Sorry I meant to reply and clarify before: I was referring less to events in your story proper with my question and engaging more in a general "what would happen?" line of thought. I apologize for the confusion. And again, your story thus far looks good to me.
  19. Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic HERO Yeesh, what were they doing in the real world? Hmm, now there's a good odd question. Would someone from another dimension (or whatever Equestria is) get offended if they heard someone talking about their world as though it were somehow less 'real' than their own?
  20. Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic HERO It looks like an okay fanfic to me, though some people may carp over having a TFed human in Equestria. And am I wrong, or did the guy in your story get punked by humanized versions of Trixie, Snips, and Snails?
