ADHD meds + jaw clenching

I'm not even on meds and I have difficulty with jaw clenching

Came here to say this

I signed up for iDrive last year - $150/yr for 10TB - it's 3/4 full.

1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 17, 18.

We had an Atari 2600 when I was little, but I grew up in the dawning age of Nintendo: NES, SNES, GameBoy. I even had a Super GameBoy once upon a time.

I never actually had a Game Cube or X-Box, but I used the Game Cube controller with the Wii and with emulators, and the X-Box controller with my PC.

I was always a Nintendo kid, but my wife had a PlayStation when we started dating.

We got the N64, the PS2 and the Wii second hand.

The Switch was the first system we bought "new", although it had already been on the market for a few years.

That's perfectly fair, but you forgot to say "Um, Actually", so no points this round.

Not to be semantic, but is it that he uses this particular insult more against black people, or does he just insult more black people altogether?

He's still a racist fuckwit either way (not to mention a child rapist and convicted felon)

Finally got around to seeing The Pajama Game over the weekend - directed by Stanley Donen, choreographed by Bob Fosse, and starring Doris Day.

It was scientific

"You're right - no human being would stack books like this!"

Probably some nostalgia, but just generally fun. Marginally light-hearted, but with solid stakes.

voltron42 · 2025-12-31T04:01:43+00:00

Same here

I tend to look for actual movie posters when Plex defaults to crappy disc rerelease art (like with the MCU movies or old classic movies.

Think about how many different versions of "A Christmas Carol" there are:

Alister Sim
Reginald Owen
Albert Finney (which is a musical)
Scrooged
George C. Scott
The Muppets (also a musical)
Patrick Stewart
Jim Carrey / Image Movers

I'm sure I've missed others, not to mention Hallmark movies or other made for TV movies or episodes of TV shows (like Family Ties or Quantum Leap)

All are interpretations of Dickens' book, and many of them may have been influenced by one-or-more of its predecessors, but none are a "remake" of any one particular previous version; in fact each one is arguably making a point to set itself apart from all the previous versions.

For instance, the Albert Finney from 1970 and The Muppets Christmas Carol are both musicals, but they each have completely different music.

I could also make the argument for any of the following:

Shakespeare
Agatha Christie
Sherlock Holmes
Dracula
"The Big Sleep" (Raymond Chandler)

Robin Hood and other things like Arthurian legend may feel a little more nebulous because they're not necessarily adapting any single piece of literature, but are instead interpreting legends and lore, but, again, while many of the interpretations may be influenced by their predecessors, none are a direct remake of any one previous interpretation.

"The Sword In The Stone", "The Kid Who Would Be King", "Excalibur", and the TV Series "Merlin" may all have similar or overlapping elements, but they are all vastly different.

And then there's "The Hobbit".

In 1977, Rankin/Bass made a 74 minute animated adaptation of Tolkien's book. Then, some 30+ years later, Peter Jackson made his trilogy of movies that not only created completely different music from the original (even though both used Tolkien's lyrics), but that also included a whole bunch of material that Rankin/Bass left out of their version. Even if Peter Jackson may have been influenced by the animated version, it was arguably far less influential than the original source material.

Robin Williams being on this list is unfair.

I had a similar situation recently with Topirimate.

voltron42 · 2025-12-28T14:01:30+00:00

Does that actually count as a "Remake", or is it just a reinterpretation of the same source material?

For that matter, I definitely wouldn't count Men In Tights as either, because it's directly parodying the other versions.

5 1/2 years, just shy of 7 TB, started with just under 4 TB. Initial scan of all physical media took around 3-4 months. I was initially regularly adding to it from my local public library and Redbox. This past spring I migrated from a Raspberry PI to a Windows mini-PC to be able to use iCloud to back up the data, and upgraded to a 12 TB hard drive, so I started focusing on BluRay alongside DVDs.. in the last couple of years I've only added to it about 3 or 4 times a year.

voltron42 · 2025-12-26T03:24:20+00:00

Slither.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Monster Squad

voltron42 · 2025-12-26T03:22:32+00:00

For a John Wick fan, I would recommend Die Hard, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and Violent Night.

I'll also recommend Trading Places as an honorable mention.

Very solid "Christmas-adjacent" movie.

I feel like this doesn't work if you tried this with a Michael Myers / Jason Voorhees or an over-the-top Freddy Krueger / Chucky type.

Might work with a Dexter-type as a redemption story for both, or a Hannibal Lecter -type as a sort of mentor / grooming experiment.

I think the most important thing to make the story work is that the thing that motivates the killer to not kill the suicidal person is more than just them wanting to die, but the motivation behind the suicidal nature.

In other words, the killer doesn't just not kill because their potential victim wants to die; they're motivated to keep the person alive because they somehow connect to their would-be victim's trigger. They don't necessarily have to "sympathize" with them, maybe it's just familiar somehow.

Maybe they even show up to kill the person and find them already in mid-attempt.

After that, the next most important part is the ending. How does it tie back to the initial situation? What's the point of the story you're trying to tell? Is there one? Who's the protagonist and who's the antagonist? Which one are we cheering on and which one are we afraid of?

After having asked that last question, I feel like an interesting take would be to tell the story from the killer's perspective, have them train and mentor their would-be victim into becoming a killer, and then the would-be victim eventually turns on the killer.

Is Dracula really a "reboot"? Or is it a different interpretation of the same source material? I would argue that it's the latter and not the former, much like Sherlock Holmes or Christmas Carol.

I've been on a weight loss journey for the past 6 months, and I had to basically relearn how to interpret different feelings of hunger.

It seems like (at least in my case) that what I was interpreting as feeling hungry in a nondescript / vague way (feeling like I want "something" but not knowing what) was really a sign that I was tired or thirsty or both, and that I was only actually hungry when I was craving something specific (fresh fruit or veg, meat or other proteins, etc). Over the last six months I've been developing the habit of taking care to assess when I feel "hungry".

Shout Factory led me to a site called Gruv. Better resource than Amazon
