Man, I am not really a romance movie fan. So I think the best I could pick would be The Princess Bride, because it's got adventure and amusing characters to help compliment the romance. Romantic song... that is sooo much harder ugh! Just... get me one of the Time Life Ultimate Love Song collections and I'll probably be singing along to everything.

Yeah, okay, my roommate got excited when I mentioned seeing LEGO Batman, so that was our theater movie for the month. It's of course goofy, but clever. There's at least one obscure movie reference in it that everyone here should appreciate. I laughed harder than I probably should have. xXx:RoXC was playing in the theater next to it, so I gave it a wave. Also discovered one of my coworkers works at that theater too. Huh.

xander Xander xander: Return of Xander Cage Tbh I would love to, but I don't have the finances, so theater-goings are few and far between. But I will happily await to hear how everyone else's viewing experiences goes! Bring me back some popcorn!

If I go to the theater for a movie, it's gonna be for LEGO Batman, not xXx. Sorry. I'll just enjoy listening to the next episode. Good luck to everyone who ventures out for that one. But yeah, on the school semester thing, my school even one-upped that, where it wasn't just half-year electives. EVERYTHING was half a year. They decided to do "block scheduling" leaving us with only 4 long classes per day for half a year and then switching to 4 completely different classes the last semester. This fucked me up pretty good, but I'll spare the rant. It definitely makes sense if Mitchell is joining in for a new semester. Now the actual passage of time within the movie still confuses me.

Ok wow wtf. That is not cool. I didn't recognize those pieces, but seeing those comparisons makes me angry. That is not how you use references. Like being inspired and imitating a style I can understand, but obvious copies like that which you're trying to SELL is pretty taboo. There is no excuse for that and it makes me wonder what other pieces in that gallery are copies. I thought the textures might've been pre-painting too, I've done that as well, but when I stared at them longer, the textures seemed to affect the intensity of the colors consistently across various areas of different colors, which makes me think that another image of a texture was added digitally afterwards. In one of his paintings, the texture has an almost brick pattern to it, which would be pretty hard to achieve unless it was painted on bricks. I thought maybe it could be a rubbing, but that still feels off...

I think I've been staring at this guy's artwork for like an hour now and it is driving me CRAZY, mostly because I can't put my finger on what mediums he's using!! It looks like some of them have had textures added post completion of the original artwork, which is interesting... And yeah, a number of them definitely have a sort of Van Gogh feel to them, especially in color choices. But I think the most frustrating for me is that some of the images have such poor resolution, they look absolutely horrible. The pixelation makes me want to cry. Sorry, not movie related just... I got stuck on this. Please send help.

Okaaay late agaaaain but we finally watched the movie last night and I just finished the podcast while working on some art and I come here to find TWELVE PAGES OF COMMENTS??! It's gonna take me a while to read through!! I will say I initially embarrassed myself at the beginning of the movie because I was ABOUT to make fun of Mitchell for having a Golden Retriever named SLASH, but then I remembered when my family got a Golden Retriever puppy when I was little and I named him FLASH. Kinda like "Hahaha, what a stupid nam- oh..." I feel like I had a specific point I was going to bring up, but it's escaping me right now. I'll see if I can recall after I get to read through all the comments.

I'm finally catching up!! I listened to the minisode today! I listened all the way through to the ad for Gilbert Gottfried's podcast, which is mostly because even though his voice is so irritating I just... can't... stop... listening... I'm excited for this Airborne movie! Definitely gotta look it up for Friday! There's just so many 90s movies that are awful but just SO 90s you can't help but enjoy them.

Finally watched The Quickening and listened to the podcast. Haven't read through this thread yet, but wow. How did you all survive this movie?

Okay, I went off to take a nap, what the fuck happened?

Hahaha, seen the second video before. The Sorry one was new to me. I quite enjoyed it. It wasn't until I moved to Texas that I noticed my mom says sorry like "sorey".

Wow, I didn't notice that I had gotten one newsletter mail telling me to sign up AGAIN for another newsletter system. This has been the most confusing newsletter ever lol Thanks for filing things into weird folders instead of my inbox, gmail. I still have not watched Highlander II, which is why I've been absent. Between work and my roommate getting really sick it's just been one of those weeks. Need to catch up soon...

Ughhh I've been wanting to watch this again, but I don't have a copy to watch ffffff

I was kind of wondering about that myself. They're very specific!

AHHH!! I got my tickets in the mail today!! I am so excited!! ...it's only January... (and how nice, they included a paper with parking info)

The $2.91 price is explained on this post: http://forum.earwolf.com/topic/42205-paywall-special-announcement/page__view__findpost__p__237808

I was gonna type out a long post, but I'm just going to agree with everything Paul said. Plus it's his podcast and I'm sure he has his own vision for how he wants to present it. I will say HDTGM is the first podcast I have ever listened to with any sort of regularity and I will continue to follow it, but I certainly wouldn't be nearly as invested if there hadn't been the library of old episodes for me to go through. I appreciate that Paul worked out this solution for us.

New Mailing List setup!

Finally got to listen to the announcement, and I just wanted to add that this sounds like a decent compromise and good incentive to get people to subscribe if they want to. Thank you, Paul, for working so hard for us. Man, we were at Quiznos the other day and I saw their sign for their points system and it reminded me of the show lol. I wish I could sign up, but we only go a couple times a year, because the one that used to be down the street closed down. We miss it.

So a Texas city that's not Austin doesn't count? I didn't realize there was a catch to that input field, so I went with San Antonio pff. I signed up days ago after seeing it on Facebook, but have yet to get any emails.

On twitter it says they emailed ppl on the list who said they were in Austin or Texas, but I never got an email either. I checked my spam folder too. Something is buggy maybe? Not that I can go, but if there's a technical issue with the mailing list, I hope it can be worked out.

No, it was Daruma Ramen. Their dinner hours are probably an issue now that I look.

Random question, but isn't there a pinball arcade in Austin too? I've only been once during a convention, so I'm not that familiar with what's there.

Roommate and I are up for something. We're probably gonna make it a day trip. There's a really good ramen shop we went to once when we were downtown. Debating on trying to get to IKEA in Round Rock too lol
