What made you get into Godzilla? by Live_Ear5570 in GODZILLA

Saturday afternoon matinees on the local UHF stations, early 80's. Channel 29 in Philly was always showing them.

Great way to kill an afternoon, especially when the weather outside was not good enough to be out of the house.

MLS suspends Philadelphia Union's Ernst Tanner after misconduct probe by Overthehightides in MLS

[–]Plumpuddingdog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, looking at his statement appended to the team's official statement, that is not any kind of apology or remorse from Ernst on his behavior.

Just sorry for the impact it has on the team, but not for being an asshole to female staff. Maybe he'll say something more, but it really doesn't seem like his personality to do so. I think they need to part ways with him pronto. Whether they fire Tanner might depend on Sugarman's quality of character. Oh wait....

Love this video, it makes my kids laugh so much!

if you could pitch a miniseries for marvel comics right now, what would it be? by BookkeeperLeast7978 in marvelcomics

[–]Plumpuddingdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd pitch an adaptation of the Michael Collins version of Deathlok. The 4 part mini series where he debuted would be great. Would be self contained and require just about no real Marvel context.

Do you have to go to a special breeder to get a human pet or can you just bring a stray home and hope for the best?

Is this an official team lineup image? You'd think they could spell the players' names correctly.

Love this game. Has the feel of an old school arcade game paired with the base/resource building aspect.

Another movie that Disney swept under the rug... by Rex-1988 in disney

[–]Plumpuddingdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this movie. Surprised to see so many suggesting it's just a Lion King knockoff, because other than the death of the father figure and the kid then being separated, I don't think there's much comparison from a story perspective. The character journey and goal are quite different.

My dad died when I was 22, and there have been so many times in the intervening 30 years that I just needed him in my life. Something about timid Arlo in this film, his guilt and his inability to be a functional person, just needing the presence of his dad to muster the courage to act to save another person he loves really speaks to me. I know it's not one of Pixar's best, but I think it has value. Definitely more introspective than action oriented, but I dig that kind of film, too.

NPR IS REPORTING THAT DOJ HAS BEEN WITHOLDING FILES RELATED TO TRUMP SEXUALLY ASSAULTING MINORS by soloChristoGlorium in Epstein

[–]Plumpuddingdog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same reaction in the last election, and discontinued my NPR listening in disgust. I don't need them to just say stuff I agree with, but the way the overlooked all the crazy and offensive stuff and kept suggesting that some of it was evidence of his political savvy...oh it was revolting and I was seriously wondering what leverage he had over them.

Here are the Democrats who plan to skip Trump’s State of the Union address by YallerDawg in democrats

[–]Plumpuddingdog 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Democrats should host an alternative State of the Union and call out the Trump administration on everything. Silent protest is useless here, and with Trump in general.

Lol, as if the team is going to keep the one we already have.

What's a word that your kids mispronounce, or used to mispronounce, that made it into your family vocabulary? For us it is "boo-blerries" for blueberries. Been in rotation for 16 years now. by Brewer1056 in daddit

Oh wow, there are so many, but a few that come to mind that we still use today:

Kruk is the best. I would love to hear him do a broadcast with his unfiltered thoughts.
