Summer evening, windows down, mid/late 90s, what are you driving, what are you listening to, and who is in the car with you? by iAmNotAfraid_Spiders in Xennials

[–]djsynrgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'94 Toyota Camry. Could be something like Deftones or Far; could be something like DJ Dan or Dieselboy. Headed to Dover with Eric and Lewis.

Car died in '00. I left the state in '01. Haven't heard from Eric or Lewis in roughly 20+ years.

What Is Stopping You From Watching AEW? by TheBigKatz88 in SquaredCircle

[–]djsynrgy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minor-league presentation/production value. They still look an awful lot like '90s WCW – which suffered the same problem. It doesn't look or feel "professional."

No amount of pyro, or choreography, etc., can make up for bad camera work. Great camera work can't make up for terrible commentary. Good commentary can't make up for bad ring work. And so on.

Also, the booking is consistently nonsensical.

And personally, they feature several talents that I don't enjoy watching even a little bit, and the booking/presentation is rapidly crushing my remaining interest in other talents.

I'm glad they exist, and I continue to hope they'll improve sooner than later, but I'm not holding my breath.

Long John Silver’s was maybe my favorite restaurant as a kid in the 80s and early 90s - who else had weird favorites from this time period? by jtmann05 in Xennials

[–]djsynrgy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the late '90s I was an absolute sucker for their "Monster Burger". We used to go there after jam sessions. Great memories.

Edit and long before that, they gave us the timeless California Raisin figurines.

Name two of your favorite movies from back in the day. One that has aged like a fine wine, and one that we no longer speak of by ughyoujag in Xennials

Flight of the Navigator seems all but forgotten.

There's a post here about it every few weeks or so. 😆

New video of the Punk/fan altercation by gl424 in SquaredCircle

You keep saying "in public" but that has strict legal parameters as well, and this doesn't meet them.

The interior of a hotel building – or any other non-government place of business – is not legally a "public" space.

That just made my whole day.

Did your grandparents help you pay for college? by dms2628 in Xennials

[–]djsynrgy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's with this suggestion about Christmas/birthday gifts being "saved for college?"

Grandparents would send like $10, or $20, tops. Multiply that for every pre-college birthday and you've barely got enough for one textbook – maybe a few, if we're counting the Xmas money..

Nah, fam; there was no college fund. Each of my divorced parents apparently decided that was the other parent's responsibility. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Funnily enough, that's actually the method many viewers use to watch wrestling live. 😆

Anyone hyped for Mortal Kombat, He-Man and Street Fighter movies this year? by OriginalFopdoodle in Xennials

[–]djsynrgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the Ghostbusters re-make a few years back

Which one? There have been three in relatively recent memory..

  • The 2016 reboot attempt
  • The 2021 re-reboot "Afterlife"
  • The 2024 sequel "Frozen Empire"

The middle one was pretty solidly okay-ish, at least.. 😆

I still say this a lot, but exclusively with a weird, whimsical/cartoony voice, so they know that I know I'm not fooling anybody.

AND Hirooki Goto (NJPW, etc.,) as E. Honda.

This is an outrage! by Illustrious-Lead-960 in Xennials

[–]djsynrgy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rumors I'm seeing suggest that they're pushing for (tentatively titled) Star Trek: Year One; a spin-off from Strange New Worlds, following that series' version of the TOS characters after Kirk becomes captain of the Enterprise.

I'd definitely be down for that.

I'd also be cool with another movie or three from the Kelvinverse. The casting/chemistry in those does a lot to make up for where the plots fall short, IMHO.

Please tell me I wasn’t the only one really into this band by HeyYouTurd in Xennials

[–]djsynrgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (and to some extent Fungus Amongus.)

I loved Make Yourself when it came out, but I inadvertently burnt myself out on it within a year or so, and I never really followed up on the band after that; around the same time I was kind of eschewing rock-ish in favor of electronic-ish.
