    Thoughts on The Fall Guy (2024)

    This was fun. Not an all-time great, but still, a good and stylish way to kill two hours. :pinkiesmile:

    Thoughts on Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

    The last time I watched this movie, I was around eight years old, having rented it from Food City. I'm glad to have watched it again, and on the big screen to boot.

    Found this image courtesy of Reddit. It was too good not to share. :pinkiehappy:

    Speaking a little more seriously though, it's interesting to look at this and compare/contrast the two characters' designs and the respective art styles of their shows.

    I Am Back

    Hey everyone. I'm sorry for being so quiet these past few days, but Internet connections were pretty crappy at both the hotel and at the convention, so I figured I'd just save the big response for when I finally got home and unpacked.

    My First Convention

    I'd been meaning to put this up earlier, but well, better late than never.

    Tomorrow and through Sunday, I'll be out of town - my dad and I are going to a convention over in Beckley. Dad's going to be vending a table there to try and sell some books.

Happy Christmas, Everybody · 2:03am Dec 25th, 2021

Just wanted to say that, and let some of my watchers know that I'm still alive.

This has been a busy month for me, but I must admit, it's nice to know that the 25th is almost here. :pinkiesmile:

And as a little mark of celebrating, here - have one of the Christmas specials I used to watch as a kid. :twilightsmile:

"A Garfield Christmas" was on a VHS tape my parents recorded off of a Christmas marathon on CBS when my sister and I were kids. On that old tape were also airings of Frosty the Snowman, and the iconic Chuck Jones version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" The Garfield special was the last one on the recording, but it always made for a nice finish in my opinion. For a character who's so known for his laziness and cynicism, the fat orange cat honestly has a very nice display of heart in this particular holiday special. At least in my opinion anyway :scootangel:

Enjoy the cartoon, anybody who chooses to watch it. And Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, to everyone, alright? :twilightsmile:

Eeee. Merry Christmas, silly! :twilightsmile:

That one is a favorite of mine as well, along with "A Muppet Family Christmas". Both, thankfully, are online if you know where to look.

Now if only I could track down that old VHS copy I have of "The Muppets' Christmas Carol"...

Merry Christmas, Four. :twilightsmile:

Nice. :yay:

Yeah, I hear that. We had to get rid of our VHS tapes a while back, and there are definitely quite a few that I really miss. I managed to luck out back in 2019 and find Muppet Christmas Carol on DVD (and a version that had "The Love We Found" as well!) but all the same, there's still something kinda special about those old tapes.

You lucky soul! I can only hope that the song is on the version available on Disney+ as assorted websites claim, the movie is so much better with it.

5620415
Tell me about it. I was stunned at the time.
And I can only hope so as well. Really, I don't get what some people had against the song in the first place. :rainbowderp: Proof, I suppose, that taste is well and truly subjective.

From what I understand, the executives wanted it cut from the theatrical version because they felt the little kiddies would be bored.

5620433
Sounds like an executive decision, all right. :pinkiecrazy:

Merry Christmas, my guy.

Thanks, Shadow. You as well, yeah? :pinkiesmile:
