Never felt like this until I kissed ya
How did I exist until I kissed ya
Never had you on my mind
Now you're there all the time
Never knew what I missed 'til I kissed ya
Uh-huh I kissed ya, oh yeah
Things have really changed since I kissed ya, uh-huh
My life's not the same now that I kissed ya, oh yeah

Mmm, you got a way about ya
Now I can't live without ya
Never knew what I missed 'til I kissed ya
Uh-huh, I kissed ya, oh yeah

You don't realize what you do to me
And I didn't realize what a kiss could be

Mmm, you got a way about ya
Now I can't live without ya
Never knew what I missed 'til I kissed ya
Uh-huh, I kissed ya, oh yeah

You don't realize what you do to me
And I didn't realize what a kiss could be

Mmm, you got a way about ya
Now I can't live without ya
Never knew what I missed 'til I kissed ya
Uh-huh, I kissed ya, oh yeah

I kissed ya, uh-huh
I kissed ya, oh yeah
I kissed ya...

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is
Gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so, that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is
Gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so, that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

Dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm-a gonna cry-y
Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye

There goes my baby with-a someone new
She sure looks happy, I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm-a gonna cry-y
Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye

I'm-a through with romance, I'm a-through with love
I'm through with a-countin' the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My lovin' baby is through with me

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm-a gonna cry-y
Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye

Bye bye my love goodbye
Bye bye my love goodbye

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

We've both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, what are we gonna tell your Mama
What are we gonna tell your Pa ?
What are we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la! "

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, I told your Mama that you'd be in by ten
Well, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
We gotta go home

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

The movie wasn't so hot
It didn't have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked
Our reputation is shot

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, what are we gonna tell your Ma-ma
What are we gonna tell your Pa ?
What are we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la !"

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long
 
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
(Oh, so good)
Wasn't he fine?
(Oh, so fine)
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine?
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me
More security
(He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well
 
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back, I could have played it differently
(Looking back, I could have played it some other way)
Learned about the man before I fell
(I was just a little careless, maybe)
But I was ever so much younger then
(I was so much younger then)
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good.)
Wasn't he fine?
(Oh, so fine.)
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?
 
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
(Isn't it madness?)
He won't be mine?
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me
More security
(He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well
(It took time to understand him)
I know him so well

I can (and have) go on at length about movies and TV shows I’ve despised, but while there are plenty of books I’ve started and put down in the middle (or before) or will simply never read again. (This is a big thing for me, because I’ll re-read something I enjoyed the same way I’ll re-watch an old movie.)  I can’t think of any that generated the same type of loathing.
   I mean I think Twinklight, and 50 Shades of Mommy Porn are stupid and The Hunger Lames was dull, but I have no venom to spew for them.  Maybe it’s because I know how hard it is to get the right words in a row for even as meager an effort as something like this is, that I’ve got respect for anybody who completed any writing at all, let alone had the balls to Fitz-Carraldo the boat over the mountain and actually get published.  (Thank you to Dennis Miller for that analogy)

Heh.  At a prior job, I had two coworkers - we'll call them Lisa and Brenda.  They used to be best friends, but had a falling out.  It should be noted that Lisa had a drinking problem and Brenda was a bit of a ditz. 
 
So one time I start telling a version of this joke to a different coworker, but with Brenda calling Lisa for help with the jigsaw puzzle.  I told this within earshot of Lisa, just loud enough for her to overhear it.  From the look on her face, she spent most of the time I was telling the joke apparently trying *desperately* to remember this happening.  It wasn't until I got to the end that she realized it was a joke.  
 
I'm a bad person.

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter
Girls as sharp as her are something rare
But it's sad, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine

She wants to return those things I bought her
Tell her she can keep them just the same
Things have changed, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine

Walkin' about
Even in a crowd, well
You'll pick her out
Makes a bloke feel so proud

If she finds that I've been 'round to see you ('round to see you)
Tell her that I'm well and feelin' fine (feelin' fine, ooh)
Don't let on, don't say she's broke my heart
I'd go down on my knees but it's no good to pine

So learn to calm down.

President Putin and his driver were on their way to Kyiv in a car when all of a sudden they hit a pig near a farmhouse, killing it instantly.

Putin told his driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain to the owners what had happened. About one hour later Putin sees his driver staggering back to the car with a bottle of Horilka (Ukrainian vodka) in one hand, and a cigar in the other.

"What happened to you?" asked Putin.

"Well, the farmer gave me the Horilka, his wife gave me a box of cigars, and his daughters gave me their favors."

"My God, what did you tell them?" asks Putin.

The driver replies, "I'm president Putin’s driver, and I just killed the pig."

Hearing the tale of the Glassie made me long for the days spent on the Far Venture.
   She was part of a Star Wars campaign I was Co-GM for.  She was a YT-1300 and I was her Engineer.  (A Dwaarf from the Gaigax system) Over the course of time we hade some “special modifications” done for her.  The most noticeable were the landing skids and thruster installed on the roof...Those went in after the third time we crash landed upside down. But my favorite was the torpedo tube installed at the rear of the ship. We called it the “Take that with ya”, since we saved it for ships locking a tractor beam on us as we hauled a$$ out of yet another bad situation.  Normal torpedo speeds times the velocity added by the beam made it too quick for anybody to react to.
   For roleplay I included a list of protocols that automatically went into effect during a “red alert” situation.  All lighting and life support was cut by 1/3 to save power.  All airtight doors closed but did not lock in case of hull breach. And I stated that drawing extra power to the engines, weapons and shields caused the motion dampeners to go a little out of synch so the inside of the ship rocked like standing up on a moving bus. (Safe enough to walk, if you keep one hand on a grip of some kind but a little chancy if you’re doing repairs or emergency surgery)
    No matter what we went up against, she always pulled us through....The Far Venture!  May The Force always be with her!

All this is true but this is the thread for Western Hero, not western reality.  I don’t recall seeing in the Fantasy Hero section discussions about the alternatives for toilet paper, or that everybody’s breath stunk.
  This should be the place for debating how much of an advantage “Never runs out of bullets” should be.

We shall agree to REALLY, REALLY disagree.

I always believed that those two movies were horribly misunderstood.
Hudson Hawk was incredibly mis-advertised.  The studio bought what they thought was going to be another Die-Hard.   What they got from producer Bruce Willis was a modern version of a Bob Hope/Bing Crosby “Road” picture. Silly plot, lots of gags and musical numbers. The whole schmere.
    So they just advertised it as another Die-Hard anyway and the public who were expecting chocolate cake but got tutti-frutti ice cream instead were upset.  They didn’t understand what was going on and trashed the film.
   
  WWW on the other hand.... I have said that the only thing wrong with that movie was the entire script.  Casting...Good. Set Design....Great.  Music...All right.  The idea of upping the Steampunk quotient...Fantastic.  Even the giant mechanical spiders...Acceptable.
 Both stars in drag, Ted Levine’s Southern General that made you long for his reserved dignified portrayal of Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs,  Mr Branagh’s awful accent and scenery chewing and sequences like escaping from the buzz saw shurikens of doom...........What brand of crack were you people smoking?
   The shooting script should have been used to smack the writers, producers and directors into unconsciousness and after they were released from enforced drug rehab they could take another shot at the whole thing.

I am reminded of a comic I saw decades back in Playboy.
 
Teenage human boy is standing in a pretty middle-class looking living room setting.  He is talking with a centaur whose human parts are obviously of middle age (balding, pudgy, glasses).  The caption says, "What you have to understand, Son, is that back around the time you were born, your mother and I were doing a lot of drugs."

The only way to watch 2001 is with the remote in hand and your thumb firmly on the FF button.  Every time the classical music starts hit that button like it owes you money.  This brings the running time to 30-45 minutes.  After that the whole thing is just bad Star Trek.....The Original Series.    Kirk would have whooped HAL the same way he beat Landru and the M-5 computers before him.🖖

I like 2001. It makes you think. There is a lot going on. And I am pretty sure I saw it after I had seen the first Star Trek movie and Star Wars so it was not my first exposure to Sci fi. I'd recommend seeing things like the Trek movies, Star Wars and some of the 50s Sci Fi before 2001.
 
I do apologise for bringing up bad memories for some people i.e. roaring sharks but film is something I love and am more than happy to warn people off something that is tripe.
I would say that Tjack is right about Hudson Hawk and Wild Wild West. When I saw the latter I had never seen the series (British TV did not get everything broadcast in the US and repeat on other channels) but my opinion of it dropped further when I did see the series.
Most of the films we are discussing have good production values unlike a lot of straight to video fodder where swearing is substituted for dialogue. And then you have poor CGI and poor acting. I will give some big budget films a pass because of how poor some direct to video stuff can be.
 
And if you want an idea of potential films to avoid look at the Golden Raspberry winners. In 1987 Leonard Part 6 beat out Jaws the Revenge and Ishtar for Best picture. And another one which people tend to forget, Tough Guys Don't Dance. I saw this at the cinema because Isabella Rossellini was in it. But it is Ryan O'Neal who is awful in it which I believe is why it was nominated for Worst Picture. 
 
Some times the critics are right when they tear a film to shreds.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the Conan novels and Westerns and all that stuff. I was just trying to say that those genres shouldn’t be judged by real world standards of behavior.   And Conan’s (or whatever Hero) kissing a resisting princess (or whatever woman) until she melts In his arms and falls for him is a trope responsible for a lot of crappy learned behavior by men for a long time.  “Your lips say no, but your heart says yes!”  “No dips#it, NO MEANS NO!”
