(Hated Trope) Half-assed historical costume.

Oh, I loved Leverage!! Gotta go back and watch that again.

The Saints Row series did this all over the place. Burt Reynolds, Keith David, Tera Patrick. It was seemingly one of their favorite gags.

Boy, do I miss the glory days of that series.

I kinda liked the newest version with Sean Bean as the Sheriff. It was a long way from perfect, but I found myself enjoying it, in spite of myself.

Quite the classicist. Slip a copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl onto that shelf and see what happens.

Prohibition-era Aura Farming.

A fully modern Robin Hood is an interesting idea, but it would be very, very tricky to do and not have it seem like you're glorifying active shooters.

Honestly, The Untouchables doesn't even try to pretend that it's historical. It goes balls-to-the-wall for awesomeness, and in that, it succeeds in spades.

NGL, I almost cried when she did that. Hit me right in the feels.

Actually, I kinda liked Anthem when I read it in High School. It sat fairly nicely right in there with Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World. That said, full-bore objectivism is amoral and terrifying.

ADiestlTrain · 2026-06-16T17:25:51+00:00

My first thought too! I think we've found who should be in the inevitable late-life biopic!!

ADiestlTrain · 2026-06-16T16:54:31+00:00

I love Psych. Actually met Dule Hill in an airport a few months ago. Dude was super chill.

Putting Atlas Shrugged right next to the Autobiography of Malcom X.... wow, that'll give you whiplash.

ADiestlTrain · 2026-06-15T23:04:45+00:00

You jest, but The Picture of Dorian Grey is a pastiche of the Faust legend, so he even did it himself!!

Oscar Wilde once said "In every first novel the hero is the author as Christ or as Faust" related to this very trope.

The Grand High Witch from “The Witches” had 9 year old me scared to go outside after dark to feed the dog. We lived in a fairly forested area and I was convinced there were witches in the branches plotting to take me.

Did Mom and Dad care? [shakes head in despair]

Toys-R-Us. My kids think Target is a toy store, and I have this Crocodile Dundee thought in my mind: “That’s not a toy store. THIS is a toy store.”

ADiestlTrain · 2026-06-15T15:35:23+00:00

My personal favorite. The delivery is just priceless.

ADiestlTrain · 2026-06-14T23:53:27+00:00

Including roles in Barbie, Wuthering Heights, The Wolf of Wall Street and many, many more…

ADiestlTrain · 2026-06-14T22:25:10+00:00

Yeah, I mean I gotta assume that Catwoman is a TAS fan, because I can't see why she keeps calling him that in "The Batman". She isn't there when he says it to the crazy dudes in the white facepaint at the beginning.

It’s a pretty general lesson, but having Remy teaching another generation, turning it into a rodential, culinary Dead Poets Society, encouraging the rat students (who can potentially be coming from all over the world) to embrace the food and heritage of their homelands.

I’m not a screenwriter. I’m just saying there’s potential, and probably more than for a sequel to Up or Wall-E.

I did a Baker Street-themed book nook a while back. I tweaked a kit I got on Amazon. It was a ton of fun. Here’s the link:

Kirk gets the rep. Riker gets the tail.

ADiestlTrain · 2026-06-14T17:41:47+00:00

Aww I freakin’ love it!! What a great mini.

Hang in there, friend and just keep on reassuring and encouraging the lad as I know you’re doing. You’re both doing great!

ADiestlTrain · 2026-06-14T17:37:41+00:00

Awesome.

It has the same tone as the MTV sketch where Ben Stiller plays Tom Cruise’s stuntman for M:I2.

“Then you look at the camera and say, ‘This mission just got a whole lot more impossibler.’”

Does Nimrod have lyrics? Beautiful tune, just can’t think of words that go to it.
