Movies That You like But Never Gets Mentioned

[(Anonymous)]

Is there a movie that you like a lot, but mostly people are probably unaware of or have forgotten about when it had been big on its release date?

Lone Star State of Mind. It is an absolutely hilarious movie that possibly only my family has seen.

Purgatory (1999). I found it on a VHS tape that was thrown out from the recently closed Blockbusters and I always think about it.
It's a Western-fantasy movie about cowboys who end up in purgatory waiting to go to heaven or hell depending on how they act in the purgatory town they're living in.

Flight of Dragons. It is so hard to locate a copy of it though.

I don't think it ever got a legit streaming release. I love that campy fantasy movie though.

Event Horizon only gets mentioned occasionally when we have people listing favorite horror movies. It is so, so good.

So I Married an Axe Murderer. I'm not the biggest romcom fan and it's definitely on the odder side of humor, but i still think about several moments from that movie.

Real Genius. That's my desert island movie.

Pacific Rim. It's still easily recognized in fandom, which adds to the whiplash of mentioning it to someone who isn't in fandom.

Welcome to the Space Show. It's a ridiculous, fun sci-fi anime adventure about a bunch of kids and a talking dog alien thwarting evil plans and exploring the galaxy while they do it. It's never brought up when talking about anime movies, but the animation is gorgeous, the scenery inventive, and it's just plain fun - it believes in itself so hard you can't help but love it.

The Gnomemobile

[(Anonymous)]

It is a weird older Disney movie that I loved as a kid. That and Darby O'Gill and the Little People, but that one was more a love/hate because it had scenes that terrified me as a kid. But a very young and dashing Sean Connery!

Re: Movies That You like But Never Gets Mentioned

It was never big, but Zathura is my underrated fave. It has everything: realistic kid characters, tropey space adventures, a good story, and proof Kristen Stewart can act.

Stage Beauty, an adaptation of the play Compleat Female Stage Beauty, a fictionalized account of Charles II banning men from playing women onstage, and how that affected one of the last men to play Shakespearian women on the Restoration stage, and his dresser, who yearns to act onstage.

I Am Dragon, an adaptation of I think a Russian fantasy novel about a dragon shapeshifter and one of the women sacrificed to him. Wish I could find the book (I think the literal translation of the title is The Ritual?) in English.

Penelope, a fantasy romcom which stars Christina Ricci as a rich girl whose parents shut her away because she was born cursed with a pig snout.

Young Sherlock Holmes - Take Sherlock Holmes and Watson, make them teens, set it in an English boarding school (during Victorian times), add a splash of Goonies adventurousness, thrown in a good dollop of Indiana Jones action, and last, but not least, drop in an ancient Egyptian cult, then put it in a blender, and the game is afoot!

Chris Columbus, who wrote the screenplay, totally borrowed some of the aesthetic for his Harry Potter movies.

The Most Disappointing Gift You Have Ever Received

Inspired by the last secret.

Starbucks gift cards get straight tossed.

Life.

I didn't ask for it. It sucks. Yet somehow I'm stuck with it and can't give it up. It is like being given an addiction you never asked for. Oxygen addiction.

My Mom got me a couple of boxes of store-brand cereal for Christmas one year after making me get presents for my Dad and siblings on her behalf, because she didn't know what to get them and left me with the fun task of figuring out four sets of presents to get everyone.
Honestly the context behind the gift is what made it disappointing.

I have had my share of "I'm sorry, do you even know me??" gifts but this year I got three bottles of whiskey moments before telling my parents I'm trying to get sober. And lottery tickets. Nothing says I don't love you like lottery tickets.

When I was about 10, my aunt gave all the kids in the family animal slippers. Every single kid got dogs, except me. I got pigs.

One year, I did Secret Santa at work and put the title of the book I wanted. My Secret Santa got me a totally different book (one of those Barnes and Noble classics, when the one I wanted was a paperback romcom) and a gift card with seven dollars and twenty cents on it.

What are some bad habits people may have that make you get irrationally angry or super judgemental?

For me, it's littering, ESPECIALLY at the neighborhood playgrounds or parks.

I also seriously judge parents who smoke cigarettes around small children, doubly so if they're doing it in a car with small children.

Reading Challenges and/or Goals

[(Anonymous)]

Happy New Year! Do you like to make yearly goals or do a reading challenge or reading bingo etc?

Museums

[philstar22]

What was the last museum you enjoyed? Or what is a museum you'd like to see?


Turns out there is a museum here in Oklahoma nearby that looks cool. Specifically a Museum of Skeletons. We're going to check it out tomorrow. Looks fun.
