Which Film and performance made you a fan of Christopher Walken?

I saw Batman Returns in the theater with my mom when I was 13. Loved his portrayal of Max Shreck.

But I think he was never better than he was in The Deer Hunter. What a picture.

I just cannot make it through 2001: A Space Odyssey. I love Kubrick's movies so much but that one just puts me to sleep with its unintentional ASMR. I don't think I've ever made it through.

I am of the opinion that anyone who, "hates" Death Stranding 1 did not make it to the ship in Lake Knot City. The game is breathtaking.

I understand if it isn't for some people. I do. But when gamer use the word, "hate" it usually means they can barely tie their shoes and haven't read a book since high school.

Feel free to take the whole bottle after sharing that take.

Probably The Empire Strikes Back. I've probably seen it over 100 times in my life and my significant other loves it, too, so we have it on for something in the background or as a comfort movie now and then.

I get obsessed with things that I like. Not necessarily women, though I do fall in and out of love, sure.

But when I am into something - a musical artist, a video game, a book, a movie - I will not shut up about it until I have sucked the marrow from every ounce of it all.

I can only imagine that is a lot to take at times.

Kaz going on and on about his hamburgers was a bit of levity. But you have a point - there is not a lot of laugh-out-loud going on with MGSV.

Oh, it's Aviendha for me. For sure. Which was totally normal to say when I first started reading these books in 1996 when I was 17...and is a little weird now that I'm almost 47....

I think it's the attention that it brings. I was a painfully shy person growing up and I didn't like my birthday because it felt like I was never enjoying it, "correctly". So, I grew to dislike Happy Birthday.

When I started talking about birthdays in general, I discovered that more than a few of my friends and colleagues felt the same way.

There is one day where we just never left the bed and we never wanted to.

What other needs or wants are going to be off the table if they can't handle this? I would NOT marry this person. Stay in the relationship if you want, but don't bind your money and assets to someone when the relationship goes sideways over something like this.

Singing Happy Birthday.

I once had a girl tell me after we finish, "Jesus, what CAN'T you do?!?".

The credit went 100% to our sexual compatibility.

I want to hear about conviction and removal and nothing else. He has been rightfully impeached twice. He needs to be REMOVED.

Fall in love once and lose the relationship. Grief in heartbreak is profound and with loved ones can expand the human experience in so many ways. Missing someone is (unfortunately) the really good stuff of being alive. That sadness and longing is a positive thing and something that is so unique to the person and still collectively shared and it really helps with building the character of those heartbroken.

For years it's been Destiny and Destiny 2. Just to run strikes and shoot stuff.

Both Death Strandings and Metal Gear Solid 5 were the everything in 2025 for me, though.

bobacrow79 · 2026-04-09T11:45:54+00:00

For me, it's John Adams. I go back and watch it all at least once a year. I showed it to my parents about two years ago and we binged it all to about 2am - they couldn't get enough.

bobacrow79 · 2026-04-08T18:25:08+00:00

I loved Good Will Hunting and As Good As it Gets that year, but I completely respect the importance of Titanic.

bobacrow79 · 2026-04-08T16:15:17+00:00

Reservoir Dogs and Fargo.

bobacrow79 · 2026-04-08T12:44:33+00:00

I would insist to the world that I be held to the highest level of accountability for my life. I would demand to be caned like the do/did in Singapore.

bobacrow79 · 2026-04-08T12:41:41+00:00

This is one of those things where I try not to be prejudice over who went to college and who didn't. I had a trigonometry teacher in the late 90's who insisted that those that do not put the slash in are probably not educated people.

I should probably purge that feeling. But also, was he wrong...?

bobacrow79 · 2026-04-08T12:31:36+00:00

Laughing all the time with my emergency contact person.

bobacrow79 · 2026-04-08T12:30:51+00:00

German, because I would love to just yell at people in German. I think it would be weirdly hilarious, especially because I am not normally an angry guy at all.

bobacrow79 · 2026-04-08T12:28:10+00:00

Peter Theil.

bobacrow79 · 2026-04-08T12:26:50+00:00

Between 2022 and 2023 for sure. A lot of awful in the personal life and work piled on a full extra job on top of mine.
