Episode 154 - Highlander II: The Quickening LIVE!
tomspanks replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
Did anybody Google "quickening" to see if it was a real word? The first link was to describe a pregnancy term: quickening is the moment in pregnancy when the pregnant woman starts to feel or perceive fetal movements in the uterus. -
Austin HDTGM Show -- Additional Tickets Going on Sale

Is it Ramen Tatsu-Ya? -
Yeah, they had to use different machines. Elton's machine was set up higher to accommodate the extra height from his stilt boots.

It cracks me up that you had a tab open for "How do I paste." Also, did you ever answer the question about your day job?

He smells the metal. ????

I thought that was Jack Nicholson being Jack Nicholson.

Noooo.....Elton John is The Bally Table King. He hands over the pinball crown to Tommy, who is the Pinball Wizard. Duh.

Maybe you heard it in your childhood, but don't remember?

You have to block out all external stimuli - and play pinball - to become "aware"? I don't fucking know. I guess it's not any sillier than some of the other religions.

Northeast checking in. I know this song and only this song.

I was just reading this. In the stage version, Mr. Walker kills Frank.

She's here Like a few people mentioned, it also took me a while to decide on a musical. I thought about picking a Rodgers & Hammerstein or Disney musical, but Hedwig and Hairspray were such gems, I felt I had to throw in a HDTGM-worthy one. I've watched Tommy once before, probably 10+ years ago, and I totally forgot how awful this movie is, which is a shame because this movie should've been great, with music by The Who and an A-list cast. Maybe they shouldn't have cast Roger Daltry as Tommy. How old is Tommy supposed to be anyway? In the movie, he went from 5 years old to 30 years old and it was jarring. Ann-Margret was only 3 years older than Roger Daltry and it totally showed. The baked beans scene grossed me out so much. I couldn't help thinking about how foul the smell must have been. Poor Ann-Margret. Perhaps even more WTF than the Uncle Ernie scene is what Pete Townsend had to say about it.

Not a song, but...The Jaws theme.

Musical Mondays Off-Week 2 (Tomspanks' Choice)
tomspanks replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
For the longest time, I thought Sing Street was a Green Day movie. Tell me that the kid on the movie poster doesn't look like Billie Joe. -
Also #TeamDonatello here. I liked that he was a ninja who was also into science-y things.

Musical Mondays Off-Week 2 (Tomspanks' Choice)
tomspanks replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
On one hand, I feel bad about forcing this on you good people. On the other hand, I can't wait to read your thoughts on this crazy movie. -
I thought the Bert in Cam Bert was pronounced Burt. Is this wrong? Fantastic Beasts was pretty good. I'm just thankful I didn't get spoiled, unlike La La Land, which I'll be watching tomorrow, but my own mother spoiled the ending on Christmas. Oh, the ending and the meet-cute. Am I still going to like this?

Technically, doesn't that mean sweat until you can sweat more? That makes no sense though. -

Not sure if this counts as a brag, but I've always wondered about this. In The Who's "Pinball Wizard": He's a pinball wizard There has to be a twist A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist Do you really need a supple wrist to be good at pinball? Why only one wrist? Wouldn't you want supple fingers instead? A pinball wizard's got such supple metacarpophalangeal joints. -

Signed up and following people who I think are here. Jesus, I didn't realize so many movies are released in a given year. I got to page 5 of 2015 and quit.
