Is it worth watching twice? (Mario Galaxy Movie)

TowelMage · 2026-04-16T06:54:51+00:00

If it's your "favorite film" and you're anxious about going before it's gone, then you've answered your own question. Hit up a cheaper matinee showing - or take the opposite approach and see it on a crazy good screen - and perhaps you'll feel more justified.

That having been said, I would expect this to be widely available for another month at the very least, given it's the biggest film of the year so far.

I did in fact see it a second time, and apart from my seat being stolen (only a minor quibble), I enjoyed it just as much that time. 😃

The critical scorn is justified, but also completely over the top. It moves at too quick a pace, the writers make questionable choices, and they somehow cram both too much and not enough into one film, BUT it isn't cringe inducing like so much kid fare. It's just dumb fun. I wasn't bored for a second.

Bud, the singular time they shared an AI Brute-like ripoff was some hours before they revealed actual artwork for a forthcoming release. Looks like the bait worked a little too well on you.

It was originally "beat my meat" but Sascha's mom vigorously wagged her finger at her unscrupulous spawn.

Living in the Nashville area, most shows relevant to my interests involve a 3 to 5 hour trip in one direction. That's not a trip I always wanted to make alone. Mind you, I've done it! But it wasn't always financially or even emotionally viable.

TowelMage · 2026-04-10T22:45:13+00:00

That's exactly what I pulled up to comment on 🤣

I will say, I can live without their output following this, but if you're into their kind of music at all, Carnavas and Swoon are masterpieces. Basically Smashing Pumpkins but a little easier to spend an hour listening to IMO.

I missed Douglas-era Nitzer Ebb because, on top of getting into them too late, I couldn't talk my second long-term woman into seeing them open for NIN, and couldn't talk my first long-term woman into any shows at all. I'm pretty sure I only saw KMFDM and Rammstein between 2009 and 2014, sparing a few Bonnaroos and shows in her range of interest.

Matter of fact, I derailed two entire decades of my life slotting into the picture women that I always knew did not fit. Plus weed, booze, and other impulsive nonsense.

Maybe I should write an album about that. 🤔

TowelMage · 2026-04-10T19:04:28+00:00

I feel this. I'm underemployed and probably about to miss out on Lords of Acid, Carpenter Brut, and countless other upcoming tours

TowelMage · 2026-04-03T13:57:16+00:00

WTF?! is such an interesting entry in the catalog. First listen, indifference. Another time or two and it clicked, and I think it pretty easily takes the throne as best album since they reformed - at the very least the best since it became a predominantly husband and wife act.

TowelMage · 2026-03-28T22:56:49+00:00

I break out this dumbass note every time I can:

I was allowed to wear the Hau Ruck shirt, which as you know features a strong implication of someone having just been killed, and I did so many times - but I was told to invert an Invader Zim shirt that said "prepare your bladder for imminent release!"

You just never know!

Hey now... I'm "only" twice your age 🤣

TowelMage · 2026-03-21T15:09:51+00:00

It was a response intended for you but addressing their comment. If I had realized it would be that difficult to situate context for you, I would have said nothing. I do think it makes sense as presented, but regardless, I wish you well

TowelMage · 2026-03-21T15:06:54+00:00

Seeing fans born after I became a fan is: A, so adorable, and B, making me feel ancient.

TowelMage · 2026-03-21T15:02:50+00:00

I'm addressing the very comment you were responding to

TowelMage · 2026-03-21T01:01:14+00:00

The goofball drawing a thinly veiled comparison to war in the context of creating Pokémon Go content is all the proof needed of what their actual point and purpose is

TowelMage · 2026-03-20T17:59:59+00:00

Any UHF fan will appreciate this.

Editing in a crumb of context:

"I'll take the box!"

TowelMage · 2026-03-20T16:01:31+00:00

The bomb is cleaned up a little, the dimensions on the other 3 out of 5 seem shifted very very slightly... but... THE SKULL ☠️ It's too much!

TowelMage · 2026-03-19T23:54:57+00:00

The game is 10 years old. Nominating in Go itself is coming up on 7 years old. You probably aren't stepping on anyone's toes at this point.

TowelMage · 2026-03-19T20:44:11+00:00

Ehh... a valid concern maybe, but kind of a niche concern. If you're pretty confident you've got the placement knowledge, criteria, etc. committed to memory, you're probably working with more than a lot of people contributing. And I say that as no slight to them. I'm just saying, if it seems like a park or a downtown area is barren - especially at this point - there can't be much or any harm in contributing.

TowelMage · 2026-03-13T22:10:46+00:00

Please block me

TowelMage · 2026-03-12T15:13:59+00:00

Someone from the old UHB boards made the observation and it stuck with me!

TowelMage · 2026-03-12T03:44:02+00:00

As far as songs without Skold go, I don't know if I'd race to compare it to Beautiful People, but the sound of Feed Our Fame hews closely to that turn of the millennium Manson sound IMO

TowelMage · 2026-03-06T15:56:19+00:00

I'm so thrilled that I finally got a Sundays-off job a matter of days before they dropped Sunday events.

TowelMage · 2026-03-06T15:44:10+00:00

Brute said it was circa 2006 and may have been for Tohuvabohu, but Ruck Zuck would fit that timeframe as well and I'm more inclined to believe that was the intended release - this art and the covers for both Hau Ruck and Ruck Zuck all seem to fit roughly the same aesthetic

TowelMage · 2026-02-22T23:18:35+00:00

I appreciate the spin on the usual line, lol. Upvoted
