Fantasy Buddy Reads discussion

I'm positive now that I've never seen it, but maybe I ought to lol.

It's one of my favorite movies from when I was a teenager. I must have watched it an easy hundred times, we'll that and Top Gun and the Iron Eagle series with Lou Gossette Jr. (I think).

It's Memphis Belle by the way. Someone else can throw up a new clue now!

There's fighting on the left
And marching on the right
Don't look up in the sky
You're gonna die of fright

Australian gods of rock.

That I've failed to get tix for multiple times due to ticket bots :(

That sucks big time! Sorry to hear that.

Yeah and the one time a lighting storm was happening while they were playing thunderstruck.. they didn't even stop playing I guess it was pretty epic.

Have you seen them?

Unfortunately no :( I was supposed to go to the concert in Austria two years ago but life happened.

Well boo for both of us!

Rock 'n' Roll Damnation hit us hard.

I probably need to rewatch that. I didn't realize some of the names from one of your hints were in it but that did correspond with what I looked up.

I saw AC/DC a few times in the 80's. One more memorable than the others. A group tried to jump a friend and I before the show. I was 17 and had had a lot of gin. This guy grabs me by the back of the hair and says give me your money and your tickets mother fucker this is mace. Being somewhere between really buzzed and drunk I went to push him and he started spraying. Out of pure luck I closed my eyes before he started to spray. I repositioned my feet and decked him and he went down.

I ran out of where we were into the light and realized my friend wasn't with me. So I started to run back in and he came running out. He ended up sweeping the legs out from the guy who tried to grab him.

The bad part is it's mid august and still 90+ degrees out. Inside the Providence Civic Center it's way hotter with all the bodies. Now throw in being half drunk and having a face full of mace. We go down to our seats and everything factored in I couldn't breathe and started choking. I proceeded to toss my cookies all of the chair in front of me and we got out of there. The opening band this Japanese band of no-renown EZO was awful anyway. I got to the bathroom and took cold paper towels and proceeded to dab mace off of my face and my buddy grabbed me a bunch of water. After swilling two liters of water and getting a lot of the mace off I felt a lot better.

So we go back to the seats and of course the ones in front of us are still vomit ridden. We, of course, acted indignant like everybody else. This poor bastards who was twice as wasted as I was proceeds to fall of his chair again and again rolling in it. If you cut your thumb off I'll help you get a tourniquet on and never blink. If you step in dog shit or puke you're on your own. The smell almost made me ralph a few more times.

TMI? :)

EDIT: I almost forgot. After I hit the dude I had blood all over my hand but no cuts. I hit him flush in the nose. :)

Sounds like you were on a highway to hell :)

That is precisely why I avoid going in public. You never know when you'll get mace face or wind up with vomit seats.

A whole new meaning to have a drink on me.

I highly recommend avoiding both. I probably could have put this in my never ending shame thread. :)

You know, I've worked in ER/ICU for 10 years now, and not once have I gotten full on puked on. Puke spatter of course but not the full stomach contents. This one time we had a bad GI bleed that we knew was gonna blow so we were setting up for an airway.. he projectiles all over the Nurse Practicioner who was standing right in front of me, she's super short so I had an eclipse of puke and only got blood on my forehead.

The best part of your story is that the guy tugged on your hair. I'm now picturing an epic mullet or "flock of seagulls" on you and I'm dying

The worst I've gotten at a metal show is sweaty head banging hair continuously in my face from the guy next to us.

Ugggg, if somebody projectile vomited on me I just wouldn't fight the gag reflex and would return the favor, spawn excluded.

The first time I ever saw a thrash band was 1984. It was Wargasm. I had no clue what thrash was at the time. They come out slow into this small club and simultaneously with no visible signal go full out for ten seconds and the band and half the crown are head banging for all they are worth. They stop just as suddenly and the lead singer yells good night and they start to walk off stage then quickly hop back and pick up where they left off. We were there to see the main band and were all looking at each other like WTF?????

Actually In that situation it usually happens after. when someone's dying your adrenaline kicks in and saves your normal reflexes

Is a great movie! I can pretty much quote it, I've seen it so many times!

Margret wrote: "Yeah and the one time a lighting storm was happening while they were playing thunderstruck.. they didn't even stop playing I guess it was pretty epic.

Have you seen them?"

I got to see them live at "SARSfest" and it was a hell of a good show. I was one of the half a million spectators!

We're scanning the scene in the city tonight
We're looking for you
To start up a fight

I just couldn't place it so I had to look it up and wanted to slap myself. It was right on the tip of my brain but I just couldn't get there.

Oh wow. Me too, Scott

That's because when I hear the song I don't hear the "we're" at the beginnings of the first two lines, but I was confirming the lyrics and multiple sources say it that way

You guys need to hand in your club jackets now. You're out. I'm just kidding

Samir must be sleeping or something haha

Ok I wanna have a try at this so I'm gonna do to and see how you do the first one I like a lot in fact just watched it and this is just gold

"You wanna know who I am"
"I'll bet your one of the A's"
"But which one I bet you cant answer that question smartass"
"The first one"
"Wrong"
"Can I have one more guess the second one"
"Wrong"

Bit long but my second one is from a character who is probably one of my favourite ever if you can figure out why

"You breathe a word of this to anyone you mincing fucking CUNT and I will tear your fucking skin off I will wear it to your mothers birthday party and I will rub your nuts up and down her leg while whistling bohemian fucking rhapsody right?....Now get out of my fucking sight "

You may figure it out but I don't care these 2 are just gold in context

I had no clue Ahdam. I had to google it. I'll put that on my watch list.

Yeah it's one of those things I'm thankful my dad loves watching films and watches a lot of the 80's stuff (even bugs us with the catch phrases)

The other one I found out from a lecture and I instantly liked it

I especially love the second quote, that sounds right up my alley lol

I think this would make a great opening to a fantasy book or movie. Love the lyrics and it's so angry. Love this band in general. One of the few who bridge classic and alternative.


I know the pieces fit cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us
so

We cannot seem to reach an end crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it, finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion

Between supposed lovers
Between supposed lovers

Tool Schism

What are two things Margret knows a lot about? :)

Music and Respiratory Therapy?

Plaid shirts and books?

I'm only going to get myself into trouble by continuing this tangent.

You dirty bird.

I'm. Not. A. ***bot!!!!

You've become my Goodreads wife. I get in trouble for saying or not saying it. :)

I'm not ready for another husband, mine is too sharp witted as it is

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That your drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

I like this thing online where people try to describe movies badly...

Some examples:

A lot of people take the Ice Bucket Challenge. It doesn't end well.
(view spoiler)[Titanic (hide spoiler)]

A billionaire devotes his fortune to cosplay and beating up the mentally ill.
(view spoiler)[Batman Begins & The Dark Knight (hide spoiler)]

------------------------------------------

Now here's a few without answers:

1) American invades foreign land, kills local leadership, struggles to find exit strategy.

2) Woman abandons all her standards to win back a horny teenager with greasy hair.

3) An old man pretends to be bed-ridden for years until he gets a chance at some free chocolate.

4) Deadbeat dad tries to get his son to take over the family business.

5) A Texas man with special needs struggles to provide food for his family.

6) A series of naps.

7) A love triangle between an eighteen year old girl, a hundred year old guy and a dog.

I got these from online... interesting to see you guys make some guesses (some are quite obvious, I think... most are older movies that people should know / know OF)

Also be interesting to see some people make up their own bad descriptions...

This might be a good game for Ahdam...

I've seen this before in an article on IFC so I know the answers but that is pretty fun idea. One you didn't post that cracks me up to no end:

"A guy learns to love a girl without her Instagram filters."

Shrek, LMAO.

Here's my attempt:

"LARPer choreographs the largest Flash Mob/LARP in history."

V for Vendetta

LARP = Live Action Role Play

Twilight and Grease are obvious, I've thoughts on others too but have no idea on Texas man???

Also a movie quote:
Hint1;
What would you do if you were sentenced to a prison where half the inmates were put there by you?

First thought... Tango & Cash

Hint2:
-I don't believe in the devil.
-You should. He believes in you.
