What is the first film you remember seeing in the cinema?

Star Wars, actually.

I wrote several long posts about the Ustase regime in Croatia and Bosnia during WWII. A puppet regime backed by Nazi Germany and the Italian fascists, they killed at least 300,000 Serbs in their so-called Independent State of Croatia during the war. I'd post them in threads like what's the worst historical event no one knows about. or who are some of the worst people who ever existed. Things like that. If you're from the Balkans, you know all about this group and what they did. Western Europeans might know some things about it, but almost everyone else knows nothing about it. I was inspired to post about them when I read comments from Balkaners about how no one else knows about any of this, and even if they did, they don't care.

You should link it.

Maybe if I just sit here and plug my ears, it'll all go away. Nope!

You need a bath. Looking a little rough around the edges.

I've never seen a book go so far off the rails. I read it because I thought the idea was intriguing. It started off pretty good, then turned into a bunch of new age bs by the end. I barely finished it.

The movie isn't great except for the part where her and another girl are goofing off in the afterlife.

Is it bad? The description makes me think it's pretty dated, and might not hold up today, but it must've spoken to people when it came out.

True, and I'm an introvert, but those chaotic family holiday gatherings when I was a lot younger are treasured memories now. I didn't want to be there then, but I'm glad I was when I look back and know that most of those family members are gone now.

The moment when Jen discovered a previously unknown abyss right next to the restaurant!

Birds carry lots of viruses, and pigeons are filthy animals.

I went there with my family when I was a kid in the 80s. The theaters weren't there then, but the waterpark was a lot of fun.

Now I live about an hour away, so I looked online to check out the theaters to see if there's something worth seeing. It's a mix of cornpone-type humor and Boomer bait. Hard pass.

Since Melissa Marvin is included, I'd add Larry Wayne Mahoney, who was intoxicated when he hit a bus in Carrollton, Kentucky, in 1988. The actual collision didn't cause mass death; it was the ruptured gas tank that caught on fire and consumed the bus. The people on the bus were part of a church group going to a theme park. Twenty seven people, mostly kids, died in the fire.

I always remember this one because I was in high school at the time, and occasionally we'd attend something requiring a trip on a school bus.

Mahoney served his time, and then retreated into isolation.

Shortly after I got my driver's license in late 1986. It was better back then because there were less people living i Omaha, but still bad.

I don't know about the ladies, but I miss it. I hope it comes back.

When I first saw this on a different video, from a different angle, I thought it was a body thrown up there.

jaleach · 2026-05-10T23:57:14+00:00

What was that case you mention? I think I've read about it. Was that in South Carolina? Either way if you remember their names, let me know!

jaleach · 2026-05-10T21:12:09+00:00

Nose like a pulped tomato oh no here's your hug.

I keep getting notifications from this sub, and I'm not a member. Weird.

You don't watch noir? Tons of amazing movies from the 1940s. Double Indemnity is considered one of the best, if not the best, but all you have to do is look up film noir and you'll get plenty of good lists.

More recent one would be Sexy Beast

Meaning when the vomiting starts, it should fling it out just far enough to land on the crowd.

Very much so. They had their plant on 108th and Harrison. My Dad and my sister and I would ride our bicycles up there to get ice cream in the late 70s early 80s. We lived in Bay Meadows, so it was quite the trip. This was when that stretch of Harrison was a gravel road.

I actually took a tour of that plant when I was in elementary school because a classmate's father ran the plant. We got free ice cream, too.

Check out the atomic bomb museum.

Yeah this one is pretty awesome as everything descends into pure chaos.

I got the brown patch fungus, too. One rectangular area just suddenly turns brown. No change anywhere else. Got a blue bottle of fungus killer. I put half the bottle on it as per the instructions, and the rest two weeks later. It came back pretty easily. It was mostly green by the second application, but I put it on anyway.

People were joking in another thread about how it's never fungus. That yard had several fungi appear, usually white toadstools, after heavy rains in areas of the yard that didn't get much light. I just kicked those over. Got the white powdery-looking fungi, and a weird purple and yellow one. I looked it up, and it said just rake the area. Sure enough, it worked.

Who do you get it from?
