Ye, I've always meant to, and always meant to see more JC movies in general.

I've only seen Escape From New York and Big Trouble In Little China. I took Big Trouble because that movie's just a perfect dumb-fun movie... but I've also only seen Escape once and if I watched it again I feel like that one could overtake it.

I just finished a two-year weekly watch of Babylon 5 (someone else was rewatching it so I jumped on board because I missed that one back in the day). Shit was pretty good in some ways, and definitely shows its age in others, and you could see how DS9 lifted some of its concept from it (even down to the highly entertaining antagonistic frenemy/bromance thing with Londo and G'Kar, though very different from Odo and Quark). DS9 was ahead of its time, B5 was of its time. DS9 wove in social issues to go with the political, B5 mostly kept it political. DS9 seemed to have a larger plan but seemed scattershot in how they got there, B5 was intricately planned and executed to the point where even extenuating backstage circumstances and cast changeover that changed the storyline felt like it was planned that way. The episodes where all those plot threads finally unraveled were pretty awesome. I think it could've been better if cut down from 22 episodes to 15ish but it's also the '90s so it's harder to hold that against it. Season 5 of B5 felt like a big waste of time though, I guess J. Michael Strackjasfkjasfasfjkaski had planned it to be 5 season but they didn't know if they were getting the 5th, so they wrapped up the major storylines in the 4th, got the 5th later and then kind of just set up a bunch of new adversaries and future storylines that we never got to see play out. And unlike DS9 where the characters maintained or increased their likeability over time, a decent amount of the main cast had become unlikeable through their actions (half the time it felt like if you weren't in the room with them knowing they had good intentions, you would look at just their actions and think they were the villains). A lot of B5 really reminded me of how Mass Effect's universe was set up. There's way too many coincidences for it to not have heavily influenced it. It's a 3.75/5 series, maybe a 4 discounting the 5th season.

I'm kind split on Sword/Shield tbh. I have Pokemon from as far as back the GBA games on my 3DS versions (got'em all except for a handful of Event Legendaries and I'm still working on Sun/Moon) but this is the first time that I didn't want to move them over to keep the collection going, especially because they charge for the Pokemon Bank and Online now. Also watching the Sun/Moon anime has actually done more for me connecting with the region and the new Pokemon than rushing through a 40 hour game like I normally do has Might wait on Sword/Shield for the anime to get going a bit and get into it a bit more. (Team Scorbunny even if it's Fire/Fighting)

No Country For Old Men by default because I haven't seen any others, though I thought it was a let-down by the end, they were going The Good, The Bad and The Ugly but swerved away from it. Sound was awesome though, I judge how serious someone is taking their movie/cartoon/anime/whatever by how much effort they put into sound and especially footsteps, that's a top-tier footstep-sound movie.

Makes it way easier to find shit

Any other choice would be the wrong one

Brutal draw. Just like Spider Man 2, I'd probably take Spider Man over most other movies on the list

Supergirl S4E16 "The House of L" God damn, this season

Yeah

Death Proof is acks my fav (tho haven't seen Jackie Brown or the last three movies, I have a sneaking suspicion I'll love The Hateful Eight to death when I get around to seeing it). Kurt Russell + all the car stunts + wildly entertaining twist at the end. Pulp Fiction was way overhyped by the time I saw it, Reservoir Dogs was p. good. Kill Bill 1 didn't hold up on a rewatch and Kill Bill 2 was disappointing on first watch so even though I'm a fan of both I do hold that against them.

Dark Knight, I've only seen his Batman movies

I'm currently playing Wind Waker HD on Hero Mode. I have 4 games left on my Xbox 360/Wii U backlog (Twilight Princess HD, Xenoblade Chronicles X and The Witcher 2) and I want to finish those up so I can just play Switch/3DS/Sony going forward

It's apparently 80% done, so there's more to actually read or watch right now than there's likely to be remaining in the series.

Something has to change Undeniable dilemma

Episode 877 - Looks like an arc ending

Se7en easily (though I guess because of Kevin Spacey it'll be harder to suspend disbelief on that one on a rewatch) Only other movies I've seen was Alien 3, which I remember feeling meh about but it's been a long long time since I've seen it so I don't know if that opinion would hold up, and Fight Club, which I stopped watching halfway through because I couldn't take the cringe-college-kid-wisdom of it seriously.

I just started using it like last weekend so I can barely fill out a list right now

Saving Private Ryan because that's the only movie on the list that I'm 100% sure I've seen from beginning to end.

I don't really watch a lot. I used to go on binges of Russell Peters through youtube every once in awhile because he's kind of mastered racial-humour-for-everyone and cultural-differences, but I haven't done that in years so who knows if he's still funny or if his brand of humour is even considered acceptable anymore. Bill Cosby, Himself has kind of joined Chris Benoit's pro wrestling career in the "This is one of the best, but it's hard to disassociate the art from the artist now" part of my mind. Unlike Benoit I'm probably not gonna watch it too many times over again. Maybe if he dies at some point I might watch it sometime afterwards (assuming it's still even easily available on youtube or whatnot) Speaking of Stewart Lee, the only reason I know who he is because Pro wrestler Zack Sabre Jr named one of his finishing moves "Orienteering with Napalm Death" after this bit. Probably the second best finishing move name in wrestling after his other finishing move "Hurrah! Another Year, surely this one will be better than the last; the inexorable march of progress will lead us all to happiness."

I think it's a sequel to that.

I give TMNT props for sticking a lot closer to the OG storyline, and also TMNT was my original and major 1980s/early '90s cartoon obsession. I probably would take Spider-Man 2 over most other of these other movies. Blade 2 vs Iron Man was toughhhhhh. Took Iron Man because I expected less out of it and it overdelivered (seriously, go back to before the MCU was popular, if you could pick any comic book superhero to launch a multi-billion dollar movie franchise with, would he have ever crossed your mind?), whereas Blade 2 was a great sequel to something that already set a really good standard (if it's Blade 1 vs Iron Man, now we have problems...)

1990 or 2014 TMNT?

I think half of the problem is that the original showrunner foresaw it as an anthology series where each season had a different crew in a different era. Most of these characters were never meant to be anything more than vehicles to move the plot. Part of what I don't like about Season 2 is that it undid a decent amount of the events of Season 1 primarily because "Oh shit, we weren't expecting to use these characters anymore and now we have to figure out how to reroute them back into the plot." Apparently we're getting another new showrunner for next season too, so who knows if any of this is even going to last

I just keep a .txt list on my PC desktop of anime I'm planning to watch or rewatch, and folder with named screenshots for anything I don't keep just on the off-chance I want to see it again but forget the name/don't want to dig through previous season lists to find it.
