True story.

 

[Lain]

So like, I always knew "Matilda" was originally written by British author Roald Dahl but it was only as I lay awake last night that the implications really hit me. Thus when I got up this morning I Google'd it and true enough the original story actually took place in Buckinghamshire.

Reading that I nope'd so hard I got whiplash. The Matilda movie was my first owned VHS tape and it practically defined my childhood so the idea that the Wormwood family aren't Americans led by Danny DeVito simply does not compute in my brain.

My father "nope'd" as well.

He expressed his dislike over "movies based on comics" like Captain America, Iron Man and so on.

And then I revealed to him that one of his favorite movie, Road To Perdition is actually based on a comic.

He "Nope''d" hard that it started out with a bit of denial.
He even asked: "you mean to say it was based on a novel...?"

I said: "No, it was a comic."

After a few seconds of awkward silence, he says "I WAS CHEATED" out loud.

(I mentioned this before in another thread)

Does he know the Godfather was based on a novel? just curious.

I don't know if he's into Godfather but I don't think he's against movies based on novels.

So he's against comic book films or just superheroes?

Comic book films =w=
He seems a bit "nope'd" when I told him Road To Perdition was originally a comic (or graphic novel).
So it didn't matter if it was superheroes or not.

The gag at the end of the trailer was pretty fun. However I'm still lukewarm on the Eternals. Maybe another trailer will change my mind. It would've been cool if the Eternals popped up post Infinity War but before Endgame. It could've been a fun way to explore the post-Snap world.

I come from Buckinghamshire and there's a Roald Dahl museum in Great Missenden, not too far from the town I used to live in. No idea what town is 8 miles from Aylesbury, but seeing as Missenden is a teeny village, it won't be that one.

That said, the American version was brilliant. Danny DeVito was a brilliant choice

Me: Okay! Time to play SMT Nocturne HD Remaster!

Me a few hours later: Time to look up a guide so I can play SMT Nocturne HD Remaster. Persona did very little to prepare me for this game. At least the Shadows/Demons are the same. Also seeing DMC2 Dante just put a smile on my face.

Dammit! I'm ill. Probably ate something that was not too good

Anyways, I've been thinking a lot about an old project, thanks to this writing course where the "coach" read a passage, discussed about the synopsis with me in private, and encouraged me to finish it and send it to a certain place. Now that project is screaming its name in my head. Not a bad thing tho. I've been practically writing only short stories for the past two years because "boohoo I'm not good enough to write a whole novel"...
This one is not gonna be a novel though... (Which fixes all my problems with it if it's accepted to that "one certain place")

I'm digging the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies. Maybe the O'Connell family could've been the modern-day Albert and Costello? Just stumbling upon the Universal Monsters...like the Coulson for the Monster Squad.

Being able to hug another human being, after over a year of it being banned unless they live or bubble with you, is both amazing and slightly weird.

What do you think of this film, with me as the chap with the glasses and black jacket?

Why am I defending Kraven's solo film?

I found myself creating a superhero sitcom about a teleporter named Transit. Part Time superhero, part time delivery man.....

Which makes me wanna rewatch this film...

I was in high school when this came out.....

Now I feel old.....

Looks like the weather for the seaside is going to be nice and sunny next week. Not too hot, not too cold - really looking forward to the first family holiday in 3 years

Zack Snyder Considered Having Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Batman Appear In Man of Steel

Director Zack Snyder revealed that he considered placing Man of Steel in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight universe with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Batman.

I'm curious how this would've gone.

Health issues.

Still feeling occasionally unwell and nauseous.

Migraine starts to hit back and it's really hard to find the balance with it, because I'm already on risky medication for it, but the constant pain poses risks as well so it's pretty disturbing to choose between two risks.
(Lucky to not have any of those heavy pills for mental issues anymore... so it's "only" sumatriptane and heavy doses of paracetamol now)

My hip is twisting a bit off location, which is normal I've heard, but not nice.

Aaand I tried to get back to locksport, but after picking one padlock my wrist said No. It's also like I don't feel the pins like I used to feel them. I have troubles counting them while I pick.

I guess I have to make some hard choices in life. My dearest hobbies are writing, guitar playing, video games and locksport (besides of running, but that's not an issue for my wrist lol). I will definitely be sad if I have to quit picking, but where things get really difficult is if I have to choose between guitar and video games.

Writing is not anything worth question. Now that I've got my novel voice back, that I'm making some progress and just inches away from reaching some dreams, making my way to levels I never thought I'd be capable of, there's a damn lot of things I'm ready to sacrifice before writing. Also, if I were to lose my both hands, there's still a way to write, so I've heard from a man who is unable to use a keyboard.

Just that sacrificing anything isn't something that I'd be happy to do.
