I do like the Burton aesthetic, but Forever is still my favorite Batman movie.
- Ray of Light (according to Madonna, very quick)
- Ray of Hope (always trying to cheer you up)
- Raid-a-Ray (travel in groups)
- Beta Ray (never fully maturate, but live full lives)
- Gamma Ray (found in the waters near Chernobyl)
- Johnny Ray (who wants to know?)
- Ray Parker Jr. (Knows who to call)
- Ray Park (When threatened, detaches their lower halves and flee to safety)
Richard Nixon always looked like he was born with extra face.
That's what it means to specialize.
You can detect a forklift before most other people can.
My son makes eye contact with me, smiles, touches his diaper, and says "Ota!" (His word for 'Uh oh!')
The trouble with Tribbles.
"Wait, wasn't there just five of them am Moment ago?"
I grew up seeing all those Flash games on Newgrounds. Some were good, most were baaaaad!
Medical professionals and guidebooks from the present day, not from 74 years ago. At the very least, stay away from my kid.
What started as a throwaway comment had to become a legitimate PSA.
Doing that is causing more harm than good. The logic that lead to recommending such action is derived from the institutionalized and abusive corporal discipline of the time. 'I beat my kid all the time, this can't possibly be bad for them. They can take it.'
It's like a cartoon where someone is being held upside-down by their ankles and shaken. Also, commentary of the time.
If you honestly believe in 2024 what is pictured is helping, do not help.
I made a joke post about watching all of Star Trek again and some people asked me about my viewing order,so I decided to make a more formal post about it.
(Save this post, I will be updating it as time goes on)
Let me explain sum up; I ascribe to the idea of three distinct timelines. One involving all of the original set of series and movies, one for the alternate timeline movies ,and one for the current set of series. This isn't a post to argue about what order is more accurate, this is just my collection of lists for others to enjoy if they so desire. I have my rationales for organizing everything this way.

(I'm really distracted by important things right now, so I will have to add the others later. I also already know that there are a number of errors with the first list, I will update it in the future. Until then, enjoy.)
Star Trek: Continues can be watched for free on YouTube & here.

Update: I've made a formal post in !startrek containing my personal viewing order:

My favorite part was how her hair was in a beautiful and much more complicated knot in the premier episode, then it was a mangled mess after Voyager was thrown to the Delta Quadrant, but they make a show of her fixing it into the simpler knot with her bare hands while walking the corridors from one disaster to another.
Janeway commands, and her hair obeys.

I'm having trouble finding a movie I caught the ending of on cable TV once upon a time, and never saw again. Does anyone here recognize it?
Modern (~1990s) soldiers (the heroes) are pinned down. They rig explosives for some reason and use the radio to remote detonate them. Something goes wrong, and one of the soldiers takes a walkie talkie and walks towards the explosives, without any cover, to use it to force them to go off. He has to get very close to them. He gets shot repeatedly, and just before being fatally wounded, he yells "Blow!" And the explosives go off.
Additional information:
- On US cable in the mid to late 1990s
- Modern war film, with then-current tech (Desert Storm-era)
- Soldiers are outside in rocky/deserted terrain during the daytime in above the described scene
- walkie-talkie is a military-grade CB brick
- Soldier is a short, young guy who I've seen in a few other movies typecast as a low-ranking soldier or officer of some kind
This just popped up on YouTube, and I thought everyone here would like to see it. It's meaningful to me because I had no idea that Frakes was personally engaged in the fight against pancreatic cancer (because of his late brother). The highlights are:
- Science Fiction is not Frakes' "genre"
- How Frakes' wife (Genie Francis) almost got attacked by a lion when she was a child
- The Riker Maneuver (Frakes is still a little embarrassed)
- Why Riker played the trombone
- How Daniel Frakes died
- PanCAN's Purple Stride Walk (It happened on April 27th. Sorry, this video is a week old. They do have weblinks at the end of the video if you're interested in helping)
...and so are artificial fruit flavors.

This wasn't an issue when the episode was released in 1989.
