10 MOVIES I THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

 {9/10} Dude, this is a must see - but do it with friends and have drinks in hand. Sit there and make fun of it the entire time. That being said, visually this is a hell of a good movie.

Nosferatu (1922)

 {10/10} This is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a silent move though - so some might not like that. It was the first real vampire movie and stands up to anything made today. If you can, get the version with the heavy metal score - it's just better that way.

Children of the Corn (1984)

 {8/10} This movie scared me when I first saw it at the drive-in. Now there is no way it's doing to do that, but it stands up after all these years as a tense movie that I just loved the feel of. Not to mention it sparked sayings that are part of the culture now LOL. This movie is referenced in a great deal of movies and TV shows.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

 {7/10} OK, I know what you are saying and that you are rolling your eyes. The acting in this as most of the Star Trek Movies is a bit flat, with the exception of Khan. The part is played by a master of his craft and I have to wonder why he never got more rolls.

 The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015)

 {10/10} This movie moved me deep inside. It's not an action film, in fact I don't think most men will like this one. That being said, I loved it. It was beautiful and moving and romantic and sad all at the same time.

 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2555736/


Easy Rider (1969)

 {9/10} Well this is part of history I think. I mean what other movie had the impact of this one? Not that many. It is a true look at a lost generation, the likes of we will never see again. Also there is a deep look at how society treats those it does not agree with. The story line stands up to today's culture as well.

 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064276/


Apocalypse Now (1979) [redux version from 2001 is the best to watch]

 {10/10} As I said the Redux version is the best as it literally changes the feel of the movie and makes the ending more understandable. This movie is a work of art and a one of a kind. The way it was shot and the acting are close to the best you will ever see. It all comes together to make a masterpiece of a film.

 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078788/


THX 1138 (1971)

 {10/10} Again, most people won't get this film at all. It is a look at how it was thought society will eventually end up and a desire to break free from the limits of society. If you look at how medicated we have become and how we are slowly moving toward the absolute control of everything we do and say, this movie makes a lot of sense in the end.

 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066434/


A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) [Trigger warning]

 {8/10} This is Film Noir at it's best. The dark an moody setting of the film and the over done acting hits you over the head with the point of this movie. I have to say, some of you will have a hard time watching this one. The scene in question is implied and you don't actually see what happens but you are left 100% sure of what happens. The love/hate relationship is also something to behold.

 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044081/


Life of Pi (2012)

 {9/10} Well, I just loved this movie and the fact that the story is more important than the reality of the situation is the entire point. Visually it's a great movie and the acting was spot on. The CGI was also amazing. I love 2 people in a room stories and this is one of the best of them.

    I've heard of all but one of these, but I've only seen Children of the Corn and Nosferatu lol. I think a gem of a film is the 1948 version of Hamlet with Laurence Olivier. I went through a period when I was a teenager that I would watch it every night.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
