The movies that made me.......... #2 - AKIRA
Posted 2 years agoPicture it. A hot July summer night in 1988. Instead of going out to the lake to try to hook a girlfriend on the beach (or a sex partner as the prostitutes loved to troll out there at Marblehead and near East 55th pier), a friend of mine calls me up and tells me about this new animation show theyre doing out at Case Western Reserve and wanted to know if I would be interested. I said, sure, too hot out that night anyway. I asked what was playing this time (they used to do short cartoons and innovative CGI and CAD graphics) and he said he didn’t know, they were gonna surprise us.
My interest being piqued, we decided to check it out. So we get to the auditorium on campus and the announcer walks out on stage first and welcomes us and that we’re about to say something amazing straight from Japan. (I mean, straight from it, because someone must have been able to get a copy or something of the reel and internationally ship it overnight.)
So the announcer says, “And now…Akira.”
Lights fade. A hush falls over all of us……………………..
And OMFG!
It was beautiful. It was like my love for anime had just increased from 10 to 11.
327 glorious color pallettes, the likes that had never been seen before on film.
The animation so smooth and flawless it felt like we were watching a real-time movie.
The dystopian, post-apoc setting, the characters, the unbelievable attention to details…
this had gone light years above anything id been watching since the early 70s, with Battle of the Planets, Kimba the White Lion, or Speed Racer (which im sorry to say makes me think hes having an orgasm every time he turns the wheel. Id kill to watch a subtitled Speed Racer sometime. I bet its MUCH better)
Light years, like I said. Anime to me was never the same after this. And yeah I know there were some awesome anime films before this one, like Harmageddon, Grave of Fireflies, and a few early hits from the amazing Ghibli, etc. etc.
But THIS…. This was ground-breaking to me. For a time I had kinda given up on anime and felt it was really never going to get the attention it deserved and I sure as hell wasn’t intrigued by much of what I had seen to this point.
But…….my eyes were opened. And my heart swelled with love for anime once again. I had seen the GREATEST anime movie of all time. When we left the auditorium and drove home, we couldn’t stop talking about it, every scene, every detail… from the thunderous motorcycle chases to the climactic ending of Akira becoming his final form….. that ewwy, gooey…. Fleshy….. ugh, hard to describe it. :D
When I got home, I called my friends and the minute the English version came out, you KNOW we were right back in the theater and watching it again.
Akira didn’t just open my eyes again to anime – but to animation itself.
The very next year “The Little Mermaid” hit theaters and since I had applied for Cal Arts the year before (a lot of the animators were CalArts students, you know) I felt I should watch it just to be supportive, even though I didn’t get in.
And like before I was mesmerized. :D But had it not been for “Akira”……. I really don’t think I would have had such a love for animation that I do today. “Akira” stroked my anime love but it also gave me a fresh look at animation in general. For its NOT really just an anime gem, its true animation at its finest.
My love for animation was reborn and I thank god I was around that hot July night to experience probably one of the greatest moments in animation history. :D

The movies that made me.......... #1 - WARGAMES
Posted 2 years agothese arent in any order or anything, its just a list of the movies i watched growing up and that influenced me to take the paths i did... i cant fault ANY of the films on this list, whether theyre good or bad, because i LOVED them, theyre the movies i can watch over and over again and never get tired of, and they hold special places in my heart and mind and soul because of what they meant to me......and how i became the person i ended up as. :D
altho thats not accurate... no one is ever the person they become for good until they die.... so..... these are the movies that made me what i am currently. :D
"WARGAMES" - 1983
I admit I fractured quite a law or two as a lad. :D I was at that age, in my mid and late teens where I didn’t give a shit about anything but having fun – and if that meant breaking into computer systems, phreaking phone lines, eavesdropping on voice recorders and pagers, or cracking Commodore 64 games, I was into them. I LOVED being a hacker. “hacker” was a whole different word in those days… nowadays its more of a nefarious thing but back in the late 70s and 80s?
Man we were GODS. :D
And then “WarGames” came out……………………
And it was like looking into a fucking mirror. I was David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) 100%. I had a war dialer, I perused computer mags for the latest games then found ways to hack them, played video games for hours, and though I managed to break into school files, I never did change my grade. :D (why should I? I was fucking-A-student, dawg!)
My late father did one incredibly nice thing for me, he bought the VHS of it for me, (I was sick at the time it went to theaters and it didn’t stick around long) and I SANK into that VHS… I LOVED it, I loved the movie, the concept, the idea a high school kid could break into NORAD and start a nuclear war…..
I LOVED ALL OF IT.
Even today, someone mentions “Shall we play a game?” and all I can hear is that mechanical Joshua voice on the WOPR (Warfare operations play and response) system.
The very NEXT year…. I signed up for computer programming and operations courses at Lorain County Community College and I never looked back…….
I cant imagine just how MANY hackers praised Wargames, and id like to think maybe a good amount of them took the path I eventually did, to learn, to create, to understand computers and languages and hone our skills for the greater good. :D
Wargames…. One of the many movies that made me. ♥♥♥

Feel free to quote me............ :D
Posted 2 years agoMaybe time is so unforgiving, relentless, and ruthless because mankind decided to make it so damned measurable.
The BEST...and WORST hentai I ever saw............
Posted 2 years agoCould we get the bad stuff outta the way first? Sure, why not.
"Blue Seagull"
Okay so........yeah, I tried to follow this but it got convoluted somewhat because it didnt understand its plot. :D its a 1994 movie about some tomb raider-type guy searching for a sword that the Mafia has now? I think? And he wants to get it back. I guess this didnt have to be so bad if the plot had been better. But the worst thing about this movie was the translation. This was a Korean movie so you obviously had someone translating this from Korean... to Japanese... and then subbed to English and.... OMFG it was a laugh riot. (visualize if you will the classic "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" and put that into hentai). I suppose for an MST3K hosting night, this is PERFECT.... but its not just the subbed slosh, its the animation. I know animators work so hard 24/7 to make great anime ...and then there's this trainwreck. At many points during the film, the animation switches from hand-drawn to machine-drawn - and this is 1994 so...yeah, it was REALLY badly made. I kept wondering to myself, as one particular scene of a woman driving a car down a street, did no one on staff know how to draw a fucking CAR.... ?
Blue Seagull is available on most anime sites like 9Anime and Zoro. (no, I'm not giving you a link. I'm too ashamed.) :D
"Araiya-san! Ore to Aitsu ga Onnayu de!?"
By far, no question, probably one of the funniest hentai ever, with a sparkling plot, really nice animation, some romance, and a little tsundre (abusive girl) thrown in for measure. :D
Tsukima (and i apologize for spelling mistakes) is a member of a high school volleyball team (hopefully senior year or i am VERY perverted and being tracked by the Feds as we speak) one of his rivals is a luscious redhead named Yuzuki, who loves taunting him every so often. But he dishes out what he gets back so its a love-hate relationship. The plot is, Tsukima's grandfather runs a bathhouse and needs some extra help after an injury to his back. He enlists Tsukima to fill in as a bath attendant... except he has zero training for it. When he arrives for his new job, wearing a towel around his head, hes stunned to see the WHOLE women's volleyball team has arrived - including Yuzuki. Tsukima sees an opportunity to get back at his rival so he massages her then deviates a bit to get a LOT more frisky with her...............
And.... it would end there except one of the other girls blabs out that Yuzuki secretly loves Tsukima with all her heart and soul... and suddenly the hentai takes a twist as Tsukima and Yuzuki suddenly have a bunch of innocent timely flings that capitulate that love - without capitulating that love, so to speak. :D
Anyway, it is a HOOT. There are a bunch of subplots involved and i think there's just a slight kink in the translation but overall I just love this anime to death. Its so sweet and romantic and silly and hysterical - sadly it only got the one season and i wish to hell the boys would consider a season 2 as the ending leaves so much open... you dont WANT it to end and thats what a good hentai should do, leave you wanting more. The manga is available online which AFAIK is still alive and well.
Again, no link here... pure adult fun only. :D Google it.

Rest in peace, Gordon Lightfoot..............
Posted 2 years agoNot just a singer and an entertainer but if you ever went to one of his 4-5 hour concerts, you were in for a treat...he didnt just sing, he'd sit down and rap with the audience and tell stories and they blew us away..........
among my faves of his: "If You Could Read My Mind", "Sundown" and his ultra-ballad "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".... (i remember the sinking and it made headlines for days here in Ohio....
"Does any one know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?"
Rest in peace, Gordon Lightfoot, you will always have a place here.
It's been good, so damned good, to know ya. 🙏🌊

So, yeah....COCAINE BEAR............ @@....
Posted 2 years agoCan I just say....dammit, I LIKED it? :D
I cant stress enough how much of an UN-fan i am of animal exploitation films because hardly any of them end well for the animals. But....dammit....
Heres the story: a nincompoop drug entrepreneur in the 1980s fell to his death when the chute didnt open after he tried to leave a plane... this much of the story is TRUE.... i actually remember Dan Rather reporting it on the Evening News and all the while trying to keep a straight face. the man was found with a great big stash of cocaine too... street value in the millions... anyway...
Enter director Elizabeth Banks.... yep, the Hunger Games bitch, Wildstyle from "The Lego Movie", yeah THAT lady. :D and she poses the question: what if a bear got a hold of that stash of cocaine and went wild on the general populace..........................
as laughingly stupid and mind-melting as the plot is..... dammit.....
it works!
the movie revolves around this group of the craziest people, a no-nonsense detective, a large, gun-toting lady deputy, a spoiled brat of a teenager and her friend, a bunch of hilarious and absolutely stupid henchmen working for a derelict and evil drug dealer... the entire cast needs to seriously be given credit, they were GOOD... (and sadly Ray Liotta's last film) they gave us JUST the right amount of 1980s feelings, dialogue and sass... and so much humor, enough to make me LOL at times....
and the bear? HELL of a job with the CGI... i mean, REALLY well done.... i dunno if there was ever truly a bear used in this film, but youd never be able to tell with the amount of SFX they did...
Story moves kinda slow but i understood why as they were fleshing out all the characters and the plot points.... and everyone was playing it straight... think a "Sharknado"-ish sort of vibe.... but the shark is a cocaine-loving bear. :D
Anyway............. can i just say, it was worth seeing.....?
I'm so going to Hell......
7/10 :D

A true, hard lesson of the 'net.....................
Posted 2 years agoSo 
lei-lani watch a lot of Jeopardy. Ken Jennings will never be an Alex Trebek, but the kid's got some class to him. Anyway, we're watching the show a few weeks ago. (Some fool on Youtube manages to get "pre-show" tapes and i dunno how he does it...but if i ever walk into a bar and Jeopardy is on the TV, Im gonna make a LOT of money on bets)
So yeah, we're watching this one guy... with a Hitler haircut... i mean, there was just no other way to describe it, if he had the crazy mustache he could pass for a lookalike, thats how wild that hair was... and we knew it was a combover but we didnt care, because we were making wisecracks and comments every time he answered a question... and we were having fun mocking the hell out of him..................................
Well....... apparently a lot of people were. And not privately in their own homes, they were doing it on Facebook and Twitter and making this poor man feel awful... so bad, in fact, he ghosted himself off Twitter... thats how bad he felt.
and im sitting here telling Lani, "holy SHIT... well, we were mocking him too, he looked just like Hitler" and Lani sighs and says, "yes but we kept it to ourselves............................."
and this little light suddenly came on in my head and i thought....we would NEVER do something like that, never poke fun at someone out on the world stage so everyone could see it.... never Tweet out what we were thinking like that and hurt someone's feelings... and we'd wonder why the FUCK.... are people doing that in public?
and i get it, people are doing it to feel important and famous, maybe hopefully their post or Tweet gains attention and a follower or three, I get it.............................................
i guess i have a real hard time understanding why...its damned hard enough to be a real person these days and i dont understand for the life of me why the fuck your "virtual" you is so fucking important.....
Fuck the 'net.

Wacky Crimes #1 - More strange history :D
Posted 2 years agoIn 2017, 21 year old Michael Zaydel, from Redford Township, Michigan, broke his DUI and assault probation and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Rather then turn himself in to authorities however, he instead placed the following message on the Redford Township's Facebook page:
"If you're (yes, he spelled it "you're") next post gets 1000 shares, I'll turn myself in, along with a dozen doughnuts! And that's a promise!"
The Redford Police, not willing to back down from a challenge, then posted the screenshot of his promise on their page with the following caption. "Doughnuts! He promised us doughnuts! You know how much we love doughnuts!"
In less than 6 hours, the post went viral and was shared a lot more than a thousand and...true to his word, Michael appeared the next day at the police station - with a bag of fresh doughnuts.
He still got 39 days in jail...but Im willing to bet they werent all that bad days. :D

Posted 2 years agoWhat a blast from the past I stumbled upon today accidentally on youtube.
This is actually the cartoon that got me started thinking i could do quite lot of amazing things in life when i was older. I had a lot of things i wanted to be, like a doctor, a veterinarian, even a circus performer or singer.
i never really got to be any of those things but the great thing about shows like this was that if you wanted to be any of those things, it "Could Be You". ♥♥♥

The Greatest Business Twit............in the world. :D
Posted 2 years agoMark Zuckerberg has proven to the world just how bad a businessman he truly is, and why he had to steal someone else's idea to be a billionaire. Because he can;t do it by himself.
Here's the deal. We need to spend a lot of time humiliating this moron for doing the most incredible bonehead maneuver in business history, and reminding him this is why he had to steal ideas. Because he's dumb as a stump.
Why, you ask?
Because they change Facebook to Meta, completely upending their business model to rename itself, while insisting the "metaverse" was the "Next Big Thing", and that we'd all WANT to wear these crazy googly glasses for hours on end...
And now.... here comes Artificial Intelligence and suddenly its all "fuck you, metaverse!" :D
And it overtook the metaverse industry in SIX MONTHS...............
Mark gambled and lost on what he felt was a sure thing.
So....will Meta go back to Facebook or will Mark spend billions trying to jump onto the A.I. train thats already left the station?
What a great TWIT. :D

The Biggest Douche in the Universe...is back in Cleveland...
Posted 2 years ago"Psychic" John Edward is coming to my city May 12th.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_B.....n_the_Universe
To recap, lets explain how he "crosses over" to the spirit world, shall we?
First off, the audience isnt fully set, there's at least 5-6 plants in every performance. Secondly, a lot of this is just blind stupid chance. Let me prove it to you.
You have a beloved pet on your mind a lot, the name isnt clear to me, but I keep seeing the letter "B". And he misses you very much.
The most popular pet names in 2023 start with B, D, and L. Chances are great, you had a pet at some point of your life that began with the letter B. I actually did, Babbette the poodle, when i was a very little kid. :D So there you go, thats basically John Edwards. Pure entertainment and not to be taken seriously, yet fleeces people millions of dollars to watch him work.
He truly is..... the biggest Douche in the Universe. :D

Why I still LOVE Lucy... :D
Posted 2 years agoThis happened.
in 1938, as "Gone With the Wind" was doing tryouts for actors, David O. Selznick, the director, stopped by his office to see a young, fiery redhead looking to audition for the lead role, Scarlett O'Hara. David took one look at her and laughed. She was soaked to the skin because it had been raining, and she looked like something the cat had drug in because all her make-up and mascara had run off. David tolerated her reading a few lines, curtly dismissed her and showed her the door, and never spoke to her again.
Well.... Lucille Ball never forgot that moment. In 1957, when Selznick had retired, she and husband Desi Arnes BOUGHT the old studio from under Selznick and took over the very same office she had once been dismissed from. :D
Of course, we all now have DesiLu Productions to thank for some of the biggest sensations in Hollywood history, including "The Untouchables", "The Twilight Zone" ,"Mission Impossible" and of course "Star Trek". And until parting ways in 1968, Desilu was the LARGEST independent TV production company .......... in the world. :D

Got a speeding ticket? MORE Strange History!
Posted 2 years agoBe grateful if you dont live in FINLAND and let me tell you why.
You see, in Finland your fines for driving violations arent exactly set in stone. In fact, theyre not even measured by a certain dollar amount at all. (or the markka, as its called). No, authorities in Finland actually open up your financial records and find out how much your income is - then they fine you a PERCENTAGE of that.
Take the unfortunate case of a man named Anssi Vanjoki. if the name rings a bell, he was one of the directors of Nokia in 1999. Mr. Vanjoki, younger and more at heart, was taking his Harley Davidson out for a joyride in Helsinki, Finland, and was caught speeding by authorities. In the subsequent booking process, he was ordered to pay a fine equal to 14 days of his income...
Total of the fine?
11.8 million British pounds - Or approximately $14,656,768 :D
But surprisingly, people are accepting it even today in Finland, and Switzerland and other countries. Maybe its NOT such a bad idea to punish people based on their income. The only problem with that is here in America we'd have a bunch of toothless inbred yokums speeding along the highways in their trucks ad nauseum. =P
Yeah, sometimes the system doesnt work. :D

Saw a tornado tonight!
Posted 2 years agoWell not HERE...but it was on live cam on Youtube, it was gorgeous, all white and ropey, very much like the "finger of God" everyone talks about.
I feel for anyone around Iowa or Illinois tonight, you guys got hammered. =(
But I saw the whole thing live on camera via one of those storm chasers, Chris, I think his name was.
Those with a passion for storms like me, just hop on Youtube to RyanHallyall's Youtube channel...when theres outbreaks, he's got a band of chasers on the ground and he monitors the situation. Does a great service for the citizens, i gotta say.

WORST. GOLF SCORE. EVER. :D MORE Strange History!
Posted 2 years agoThe Boston Globe was the unfortunate source for this story of a poor soul named M.H. Meehan, who was trying to qualify for the Shawnee Invitational Tournament in 1912, just outside of Albany, New York. On the 16th hole, a par 3, 130-yarder, she sliced her tee shot and it sailed into the majestic Binniekill River not too far away. Golf balls in these days could float on water, and Ms. Meehan was bound and determined not to take a penalty. So...her husband and she commandeered a fishing boat and rowed out and eventually down the river. While the husband kept the boat steady, Ms. Meehan tried numerous times to swing at the little bugger, to no avail. By the time she managed to hit the ball again, they were nearly a MILE downriver and away from the course. On her next hit of the ball when it landed back on dry land, it sailed into a nearby forest and lodged between several rocks. Undaunted, she continued swinging and hitting that golf ball until it was back onto the Shawnee golf course and she finally managed to get the ball back on the 16th green.
She finally sank the putt - on stroke 166. :D
God bless the persistent.

10 Commandments... :D
Posted 2 years agoEvery year since, what, the 1970s or so, right? Its been a Palm Sunday tradition on ABC, showing Cecille B. Demille's masterpiece "The Ten commandments" featuring Charlton "If I only had a rifle" Heston and a cast of literally thousands.
Its got a lot of great scenes, one of my favorites has to be after the Passover, and all the Israelites are told they can leave and you see this HUGE caravan of men, women and children of all ages, riding horses, or plopping a bunch of belongings on oxen and ass, filling up carts and carriages with boxes and barrels, a lot of people singing and rejoicing and shouting and laughing as they all start out of Egypt AND NO ONE REMEBERS TO BRING A FUCKING MAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...so Trump got indicted huh?
Posted 2 years agoAPRIL FOOLS! :D
Well no, not really, he actually did get indicted.
What does this mean? Well if you listen to news at all, we dont know the extent of the allegations so its a little too early to judge the outcome but heres what will happen however: Trump will be either arrested or will turn himself in voluntarily. He will be treated like any other arrest and will have to fill out some paperwork. I imagine he'll be bailed out immediately until the trial so he can merrily whip up his crazy-ass followers to continue getting money out of them (because, yeah, theyre that stupid.)
What I am seeing though is ....a whole lotta nothing from the MAGA side of things. Sure folks are vehemently protesting and threatening on every social platform on the internet but..................... not seeing much else. Nothing to indicate someones fool enough to take a gun and start killing in Trump's name. I think theres supposed to be some kind of protest in New York City Monday but.... i doubt thats gonna turn violent at all. NYPD is on standby. If it DID turn violent, if people start losing lives out there, its gonna do more harm than good. We were lucky not too many people died in the January 6th insurrection attempt. if it had been a bloodbath, lets face facts here, gang, Trump would have been hauled off to federal prison by now.
It concerns me though that the "grand ole party" is supporting someone STILL...for breaking the law. And not just once. This first indictment is 34 counts. And its not just Stormy, I guarantee that.
Then we have the grand jury in Georgia, where Trump has a very good chance of facing more charges, like extortion, bribery, financial fraud. The whole "Stop the Steal" campaign will likely be proven completely fraudulent as well, and then there's Trump Org's fraud, E. Carroll's rape trial that can move forward, the multiple counts of fraud while in office...........
And still the GOP sides with him..........?
thats CRAZY. I dont care how many voters a person has, you DONT support lawlessness in this country. Or we no longer have a country.
That's it.
