Unfortunately nobodies listening or this place would be much better off...I don't disagree with you, but I suppose in this case your probably better off taking it up with local governments and hippie organizations out to save trees for pretty much eradicating the old fashioned style...unless you've been getting a newspaper since 1949 Idk where you would even look to have one delivered lol.

Even I'm too modern to have a paper thrown on my doorstep, old as I might be.
You wont like my answer.

Soooo be honest.. who else just turned up their speakers to hear it better and still not understand a word being said? :ROFLMAO:
Prime acting. When the firefighters came in I thought they had monitors on their heads :ROFLMAO: I can see how it could have been scary tho.
I didn't bother, I knew it wouldn't be english...the alien transformation wasn't that bad, the rest was horrible I agree.

And they weren't firefighters, they were terminator's.

They lit it on fire...with those extremely futuristic laser weapons :ROFLMAO:

Don't be under any illusions, this movie is bad in many ways. But there was no other, and therefore thanks to the authors for this. It must be understood that the movies were mostly about how the communist party helps to build and live, sci-fi and fantasy was an extremely rare phenomenon, and when the whole world had the opportunity to watch the first Terminator, the most epic battle of robot against space pirates (yay!) looked like this:
And the Snake Valley came out some four years later.

Well, once that wall collapsed, and a new and completely unseen revelation awaited us. In principle, a cult of nostalgia for the 80s all over the world has moved to the 90s here. Since the mid-90s, world news and trends have caught up with us, and from then on, everything happened at about the same time. It was a very strange, but very interesting childhood.
There were also very funny moments, once I was lucky enough to watch Ewoks The Battle For Endor somewhere, I missed the very beginning, and I didn't know the title, but then for about ten years I was sure that Star Wars had sequels after Return of the Jedi. And let's be honest, it's still better than the Disney trilogy.

Ewoks The Battle For Endor
Ironically I was never a fan of Star Wars as a movie, in my day the Star Wars fanatics were the geeks TO the geeks (although I liked it much more than Star Trek any day), it was the fucking video games that dragged me in....The Force Unleashed 1+2 will always hold my love for Star Wars, going on a killing spree with Darth, and I mean who doesn't want to go around ripping enemies apart with their mind on top of dual wielded (green--yes they must be green) light sabers?

Its like being a Super-Rogue without dealing with the whiny bitchy townsfolk wanting something every ten minutes :LOL:

I did like one of the movies, I'll dig out the DVD later for the title.
And let's be honest, it's still better than the Disney trilogy.
I am proud to say I don't even know which disney trilogy you speak of (unless the movie I have is part of it)...if your talking about the cartoons, i don't even consider them part of the same universe, I give the games more credit lmao.

Speaking of games, thanks for X-Morph vic

He wasn't looking for someone to play co-op, as I figured, senile sclerosis was basically him being forgetful :LOL:

Which reminds me I need to go mark a key myself before I forget too :ROFLMAO:

This once again, shows the difference of the times in our locations, even though I doubt we're very far apart as far as age goes.

Star Wars was its own legend when I was a child here, I had a cousin who was studying to be a brain surgeon at least 8-10yrs older than myself and he had a shelf full of Star Wars models I was unaware what they even were except for Star Wars.

I've never hated on the insanity of the fan-base like alot of people my age (although I mighta punched a wookie :ROFLMAO: - I would have punched barnie or goofy as well)...I find it my own ignorance to have judged it before giving it a fair run...but going back to watch them now would be like going back to watch the never ending story or the clips you posted, it just wouldn't do them justice.

The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker.

If you do not pay attention to the absolutely failed Resistance, then all other cartoons are quite successful projects, IMO. As canon ones, as non-canon. Of course, the best among them is The Freemaker Adventures.
it was the fucking video games that dragged me in
Two words: Dark. Forces. Considering the fact that the ideas from this game still drag into the latest canon, it is difficult to overestimate the quality of that game. And so I was lucky enough to start my acquaintance with the Star Wars gaming universe with it.

I learned about Star Trek much later, I think, when it began to be shown on TV in the end of the 90s maybe even a bit later. And it was already The Next Generation. It was easier with Star Wars, sometime in the first half of the nineties, immediately after the collapse of the soviets, a funny business began to appear in our country - some people rented cinemas or cafes, installed a color TV and VCR and sold several dozen tickets. And they played something there on pirated video cassettes. I went to almost everything I had enough pocket money for, and one time I was lucky enough to go to a Star Wars. It was the Empire, so I didn't know the beginning, but my god, what an unprecedented feast for the eyes this battle on Hoth was. Then it stuck in my heart for a long time, and when the Internet appeared, I buried in it for a long time.

I think I underestimated your love for Star wars, even though I knew you did indeed love it.

I just looked at the wiki trying to find which movie I have, which is impossible...its easier to dig through the buried 700+ burnt DVDs from redbox :ROFLMAO:

Yes, I'm more of a 🏴‍☠️ with movies lol.

Its about an overly skilled jedi who goes dark or gets rejected from them because he lacks compassion.

You may know off the top of your head.

You have to understand I'm a fucked up mix of Games to Movies, I played and loved RE the first one, lost my love with the control scheme for the second one and now own the entire film collection (again, ripped off)...I ended up with Monster Hunter Rise because of accidentally snagging the movie and not realizing it was based on the game in a moment of density just because she's smoking hot and a good actor (jovovich must be a gamer :LOL:), turned out loving the film and then activated the game when I bought that Capcom bundle to do a GA here waaay back now. Another AAA title I started just burning a hole in my library now that I think about it, good game too from what I played 🤦‍♂️

I've watched Tales Of movies long after beating the games, I'm still trying to collect all the Persona and Final Fantasy as well as that series DVDs to the day, I have all the Assassins Creed short videos and movies burnt to DVD, etc etc.

I'm ADHD to the max...and it shows :ROFLMAO:
Dark. Forces
This I have...I'll have to pay it more attention, you know, after I get to playing KoTor :LOL:

I'm fucking horrible, idk how people even find the time at our age...everyday for me right now feels like a struggle to the next, of course i also just went off on my own again after having a roommate for ages, so being broke as shit I guess thats to be expected.

Its not that I don't have any intention of following through with all these things...its that i just can't ever seem to find the time--or I'm here lol.

I can respect that entirely...I think we all buried ourselves in something when the internet became the place to go.

For me, it was programming. I spent almost every waking hour of everyday buried in my code for well over 5 years, sitting on AOL with a group of like-minded people.

The closest I've ever come to hanging out anywhere online since I left that crew...well, that would be here.

I can imagine the magic of finding all these things some of us saw as common and opening a whole new world of love for you, truly.

In a sense I feel you were lucky to have it as hard as you did, because when you found something you truly loved, you couldn't just binge on it and lose the fire overnight.

I doubt you saw it in the same light...but you may have been lucky to have lived it the way you did.

Well, sorry to say i gotta try and catch a nap...its been interesting I gotta say, but I got another day of madness ahead of me today.

Hopefully the last for a little bit, been trying to just get routine things done (with no vehicle obviously) has been a mad mans mission lol.

I'm about to be sitting without boxers and food if it keeps up :ROFLMAO:

Catch you all on the flip side.

Sounds like the beginning of a very long list :unsure:
I mean, stamp collectors would get bored if they have just 50 or 100 stamps to collect so it's the same for me - the longer the list - the more fun! Just added a simple but self-explanatory "FFS" to my list.
Klątwa Doliny Węży = Curse of Snakes Valley
This is a joint Polish-Soviet sci-fi film, some kind of cheap imitation of Indiana. It should be noted that at that time USSR almost didn't shoot science fiction, and they didn't show foreign films, so it was quite a rare phenomenon, and there was an epic scene of the transformation of a person into an alien, which for a small child, which I was then, was fucking scary. Now it's epically funny, but we haven't seen anything else.
I'm surprised. I love films as much as games so I know quite a few classics. What about Tarkovsky and his Solaris and Stalker? Planeta Bur, Giperboloid inzhenera Garina, Mechte navstrechu, Ponedelnik nachinaetsya v subbotu...?

Even though I didn't have much luck sleeping, I think I'll leave you two lovebirds alone for this run :ROFLMAO:

This is way out of character for me...my idea of a classic movie was the first Matrix :LOL:

And Matrix is a classic. But people tend to forget the oldies. I could even start with Aelita from 1924, but that would be a little bit too much... :ROFLMAO:
