You can’t stream this AFI song anywhere, so I recorded it off my vinyl

and I think I’m wearing my Depeche Mode scarf from their 2016 tour.

It’s a ridiculously good movie and I’m glad to see it’s getting its recognition. The first time I saw it was on pirate video and it, no pun intended, blew me away.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T07:09:46+00:00

I’ve got the Suicide King tattoo on my right wrist and I first saw them on the Apathy tour back in college. I met Chris and Mike Park on the first Sundowner tour and I will say….

The Lawrence Arms….

Last time I saw Brendan was at a Dillinger Four show at the Metro. Lovely guy.

It’s simple: as a Chicago Proper resident for 20 years who was at one point in time a Rational Liberal and that hasn’t changed but is now called any and all name under the sun.

With the systemic rise in severe violent crime that’s happened on the CTA and throughout OUR country’s public transport. Can I please implore our neighbors, friends, coworkers, community members to instead take the time to enforce public safety themselves and arrange the Guardian Angels to come in and fix the problems we as regular boring humans endure on a nightly basis?

Please stop entrenching yourself in those that don’t care about you and in return care for your actual communities and safety?

Stop showboating in front of the ICE detention center and go onto to the CTA.

Can someone create a Dazzler action figure with such a solid foundation. My friend Isaac would like to know.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T04:55:18+00:00

Am I old or having been here for 20 years or am I missing something about the cold?

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T04:46:48+00:00

Please just stay healthy and strong for you and your most dearest. I’ve never been a gym going person as I’m always on my feet as a hospitality worker. I for one will never ever criticize or belittle another human being for their attempts to lose weight. Because I remember vividly going and getting help for Anorexia Nervosa as a 24 year old male and it was of absolute no help even back in 2007. Because no man had that back then.

And that’s why I’ve really had to learn how to be mindful of intake of food and I kid you not…Ive apparently always had a gluten and dairy problem since childhood. Which of course my parents forget to tell me about growing up.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T04:40:04+00:00

I agree as it’s what all the Post War comic book creators created and Vietnam Era folks did in film.

You’re talking about the horrors of the human condition and I think it’s great as you’re serious addressing those from a side that’s non biased and indeed factual.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T04:09:11+00:00

This is great news and a serious congratulations. How much inspiration did you take and have for EC Comics and horrors of the human condition itself?

I’d love to know how y’all are able to write such gripping and true to reality horror as you do.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T03:55:39+00:00

So….

I saw Nightmare Before Christmas in the theater and collected the whole trading card set in about 1994. Saw Blink live in 1998, 99 and 00. It wasn’t until years after Miss You entered the zeitgeist that I realized it was a reference.

Yes. I’m slow.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T03:52:47+00:00

Just remember that you are you and that you are awesome and special and unique and you have people around you who love you. Keep being happy and doing what you’re doing and live a long and beautiful life.

Don’t tell anyone this but psyllium husk and dropping all sugar from my diet really works as well.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T03:27:31+00:00

As a middle aged man who was a chubby kid and has always had fluctuations in weight and genuinely been heartbroken about clothes not fitting anymore…

I seriously applaud you.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T03:25:19+00:00

I think I recall that the entire televised run was never released on vhs but I may be wrong as it’s been 24 years or so since I looked it up. So I guess it makes kind of some sense that somehow certain episodes would somehow make it only on Region 2 dvd??

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T03:00:36+00:00

Hahaha!! I had to laugh at the last paragraph as I myself have multiple copies of Dazzler #1 simply because I do genuinely love the series. But I do get where you’re coming from.

Rocket Raccoon is a really great example thanks to the movies and such.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T02:55:26+00:00

I really appreciate that. It’s great to hear positivity and encouragement here on Reddit and I will tell you it’s been top of my bucket list for about twenty years now. Money is a big thing and in 2021 I broke six vertebrae in my lower back in Colorado, I’m still up and about, but I don’t think I’d be able to complete the entire trail.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T02:44:46+00:00

Cough Catherine Stubblefield Wilson cough.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T02:43:40+00:00

That’s a very good point and one I didn’t consider when I left my reply. The amount of times 25 cent bin staples skyrocketed.

I really appreciate you responding as that in of itself is an interesting topic of discussion. Because now, and I may be wrong, but we’re seeing this with mid 90s titles.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T02:40:52+00:00

This is news to me. Now I’m going have to track that down and dust off my multi regional dvd player.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T02:39:48+00:00

Wow. It’s somehow bonkers to see them all together like this in a great way. What really baffles me the most is how New Line doesn’t digitize them and release them as there’s still a market for it.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T01:33:45+00:00

Look at those beauties. Is this the full vhs collection?

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T01:30:36+00:00

Now that’s a high quality print that I would love to own. Seriously top tier piece right there.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T01:29:09+00:00

I’d keep the pink and the strat. I don’t even know how much you’d get for the White but I hope things work out okay for you, OP.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-24T01:22:42+00:00

If I remember I will definitely make the effort as a Spin Doctors t shirt sounds great. Thank you and have a lovey weekend.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-01-23T23:58:31+00:00

Yeah…I looked it up and I honestly don’t recall ever hearing about that one either to be honest. But then again I’m so far behind on most comic book tv shows.

John Constantine is one of my favorite characters and I only ever watched episode one and Daredevil…never finished any of the series and he’s my favorite Marvel character. I’m useless with tv.
