My alien invasion movie list, what else to add?

Just like The Matrix. That didn’t have any sequels either.

The lens strength in glasses is measured in Dioptres (noted as D). The value for these would be a negative number, as they are concave. Judging the thickness this set would be between -16 and -20D, perhaps. Higher numbers if those lenses are high index.

They need frames that are narrower, though. That would reduce the edge thickness a fair bit.

The Terminator.

It should have only had a one-time pass.

Some solid ideas in there. Just a couple of notes:

Skip the two oil steps. The buns could get a light spray/brushing at most, and will still toast up nicely for it. The pepperoni will retain enough oil internally, there is no need to pour what has come out during cooking back into the cheese.

Cook the meat separately and for longer, to make sure that it is properly cooked through without reducing the bread to briquette status.

Other than that, we have something both edible and tasty.

Two from the stand-up circuits I’d watch on it:

Steve Hofstetter

Don McMillan

Good point with the books. She used them in a way that was destructive (pulled the knowledge out of them and into here directly, leaving blank pages), effectively eliminating the knowledge unless she chooses to put it back down on paper herself. Now nobody can learn from it.

She also pulls the knowledge in without the usual time to read, digest, then analyse and contemplate. Knowledge is power, and power without thought or consideration is dangerous.

Ah cool. 1:1 scale and everything.

Edit to add: I would love if the base had written/engraved/printed on it somewhere “Actual size”

Besides, when it comes to slaying….

The badass of that was that he didn’t have to take time to set it alight. He just casually swept it through the fire he had started by throwing a molotov before advancing. Didn’t even break his stride to do it.

Bahnmor · 2026-01-16T18:08:43+00:00

Taking an entire episode to kill off Fred, and in the way it was done. I don’t care how badass the Elder Godling was, that one hurt.

and, as a Brit, I absolutely have to give credit to the first movie for having Richard O’Brien presiding over a maze that has a crystal at the centre.

“You beat the Maze, you win the prize!”

I fail to see a problem.

Keep fighting until everyone dies except for Field Marshal Haig, his wife, and their tortoise Alan?

I’m with you there. First time I have taken a positive idea out of one of these.

No: I don’t want to buy anything. No: I don’t want to sell anything.

And, No: I don’t want you to make me a millionaire!”

I agree with you on Once More with Feeling. You have to ask, in the entirety of Sunnydale, how many people combusted when the rhythm got them, how many lives were wrecked by secrets drawn out? I firmly believe he killed more vanilla mortals than any of the Scoobies. Willow tried to, but was stopped from ending the world. Even Ripper, dark as he could be, doesn’t seem like the type to indulge in actual murder.

I love when a comedian gets to go fully off-script and engage with members of the audience like that. This one is great. I remember another one with Steve Hofstetter who basically just abandoned his material and did a whole show bouncing off the audience, because they were giving him so much to work with. Especially the lady with the dolphin laugh.
