The rising cost of action figures.
Look at this shit: https://news.toyark.com/2022/12/01/demo ... any-489701
145 bucks. For one 6 inch toy. I would just love a badass looking knight for my collection. But not at 145.

The rising cost of pet food, too. A 12-pack of Pedigree canned dog food cost about $11 a year ago, now it's about $16. A 40-pack of Friskies canned cat food was $20, now it's $28. That shit adds up fast, especially since it's an essential item you have to buy often. This inflation is killing me. I was happily dropping twenty, fifty, occasionally a hundred bucks a check on figures or Blu-rays or other luxury stuff a few months ago, and now I can't afford anything extra. I buy a Blu-ray, I don't have lunch money. Assuming I had the damn lunch money to begin with.

Been arguing on twitter about why "Snow Monster vs Ice Shark" isn't a "kaiju movie" and is closer to Scy-Fy channel schlock, but casuals who think this genre is only awesome because there's two hours of buildings crashing will never see my point. So thanks KaijuNewsOutlet , I guess since news tends to be slow in this fandom you've gotta attach that label to anything giant and obscure.

There's your first mistake!
I can see how that would be frustrating. Some of the Syfy schlock, with like maybe max 4 minutes of giant monsters on screen, should really be kept far away from the genre.

I feel the more people starve for kaiju content, and label everything under the shlocky syfy sun "Kaiju movies", the more we're just inadvertently coming back around full circle to the old painful american stereotype of the genre. Soon we'll be seeing "My favorite kaiju film has to be Octoshark vs Snaketopus, I know it's a little underground but..."

I understand that mindset in a post-GFW-word to G14, but now that we have Pacific Rim, the Monsterverse, new Toho Godzilla productions, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and a plethora of western giant monster films (Rampage), the mockbusters being so desperately clung too is a tad ridiculous._JNavs_ wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 7:56 pm I feel the more people starve for kaiju content, and label everything under the shlocky syfy sun "Kaiju movies", the more we're just inadvertently coming back around full circle to the old painful american stereotype of the genre.

I personally really enjoy stupid shitty mockbusters, Sharktopus being a personal favorite, but the association with kaiju films is very bizarre to me. If anything, they have more in common with Vs movies, like FreddyvJason and AlienvPredator (not that they are anywhere near the quality of those two)

Yeah, it's crazy man. I wish people would stop, breathe, and consider what's in front of them.

Trying to explain myself when my brain and line of thought refuses to cooperate. I come off bumbling and I hate it.

This. Trying to talk to people at work is like this for me. I open my mouth and I feel like I'm in a car with no brakes careening down a hill. Words come tumbling out and rarely sound as intelligent or organized as I would like. I'll be kicking myself after the conversation is over, thinking of a dozen more coherent things I could have said.SUPERTOHOREMIX wrote: ↑Thu Dec 22, 2022 6:50 am Trying to explain myself when my brain and line of thought refuses to cooperate.

The phrase, "Appreciate what you have". I have more than enough personal experience to say that that can only go so far.

Spending like fifteen minutes looking into background and context for a movie ( Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance, in this case), getting all ready to watch it... and then finding out that my HBO Max subscription is on hold and I'm too broke to pay it for another week...

The continued existence of Saturday Night Live. It's not funny. It never was funny. It's had funny people in its cast but it's not fucking funny. And people still talk about it like it's actually relevant.
