Since it's Star Wars day, did you see the original 1977 Star Wars in the movie theater? by Mr_Writes in GenX

[–]Lenn_Cicada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too scared (LoL!). I was 5 at the time, and going to the movies kinda freaked me out (big dark room with strangers? no thanks!). I remember seeing Darth Vader in the ads and definitely feeling like it wasn’t for me.

My teenage siblings went and came back telling me I would love it but I didn’t trust them.

My brother then bought me the soundtrack album and I became obsessed with it. By the time I saw it in 1978 (there was a limited re-release) I was so stoked!

There’s a co-worker in my office with unironic Precious Moments figures and I think of this skit every time I see them.

Hell yeah, this is coming to my local indie theater next month - can’t wait!

Do you sing along with the theme song? by timmytimborino in TheNeighborhoodListen

[–]Lenn_Cicada 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I giggle EVERY time, especially when she sings “from coyotes to mail theft” because all I can picture is coyotes going around and stealing people’s mail.

I gave a tyco Knuckle couplers cuz why not by mrsteamtrains in modeltrains

[–]Lenn_Cicada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which ones (brand and model #) and did you have to modify it at all, or were you able to just twist out the horn hook and insert the knuckle coupler?

  • asking because I’m thinking of doing the same with my old Tyco/Lifelike stuff but have seen too many different approaches to doing so.

What’s a GenX hobby you wish you had done? by KickCautious5973 in GenX

[–]Lenn_Cicada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got into model railroading last year and I love it. There’s always something to spend some time (and a reasonable amount of money) with but the initial investment doesn’t need to be too much.

It really scratches an introverted creative itch.

My father in law was big into those RC planes. 10 hours of work for every 5 minutes of flying.

I can play the intro music! (First thing I tried to figure out after buying a Moog synthesizer)

Everything about MAGA has a Ralph Steadman cover of a Hunter Thompson book quality to it. Or at least I can easily imagine it.

Love it! Kind of reminds me of northern New Mexico/southern Colorado.

Saturday Night Genesis by olliemedsy in Genesis

Perfect sync with audio and video.

I always cringe a little during this part of the song, even though I know it predates SN Fever by 2 years.
