Not sure if it’s the most messed up, but it’s stayed with me for more than 30 years. I dreamt that my younger brother had fallen off a bridge into a river, and I was in the water, trying to save him. I was somehow able to stand with the water only just past my ankles, and was frantically sweeping it aside left and right with my hands, but I just couldn’t find him, despite the shallow depth. Absolutely horrible feeling, and I can still see it clearly nowadays.

Those guys are all sadly afflicted by a case of the Notgays.

I’m right there with you on Eps 7 and 9 of Star Wars. TFA was loads of fun, and goofy though some of it was, I still loved TRoS.

Hated TLJ though, for what it’s worth :-)

that boomerang wasn’t going anywhere.

Tbh, if I had a boomerang as a weapon, I’d get precisely one throw out of it (whether I hit anything or not).

I would probably say that FOTR is my least favourite of the LOTR trilogy, TTT and ROTK are both more enjoyable IMO.

That said, I saw the movies before I read the books, so that might be a factor, I’m not sure.

Nice, I don’t think I’ve seen that. Love the idea of Frank riffing, don’t think he ever got a chance in MST3K.

By the way, in case you don’t already know about it, !MST3K@Lemmy.world exists :-)

Please, just one more, pleeeaaassseee??

Oh, alright, but this is the Final Sacrifice

Love that show :-)

Rowsdower?

Yep, all good now, cheers :-)

Just a heads up that for some reason your title text is showing HUGE on my Lemmy app - possibly that’s intentional, but hopefully not. Assuming not, you probably need to delete the hash/pound symbol at the start.

Might just be me, of course :-)

I don’t like Mondays?

And a bowl of petunias.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is an obvious but nonetheless relevant answer. What a ride.

Also Infinite Jest.

Ah, fair enough, and each to their own - and to be fair, millions of others apparently liked it too, so maybe I should have kept going! 😁

Exactly. And I’m not being a book snob here, I’ve read plenty of books that weren’t the height of intellectualism. But it’s so BAD… 😁

No worries, easily done. I meant to say before, I also really like the Crucible - something we studied at school, and yet I still liked it! 😁

Of books I’ve completed, Thomas Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge. Read it at school, hated it (as well as Far from the Madding Crowd and Tess of the D’Urbervilles) - full of ridiculous coincidences. And also utterly miserable to boot.

I started reading The Da Vinci Code, but gave up after the very first page.

Possibly showing my ignorance here, but The Crucible is by Arthur Miller, and The Scarlet Letter is by Nathaniel Hawthorne - did either of them write a work with the other title as well? I can’t find anything to suggest they did, but I might be missing something.

Can the mind vomit?

Oh really? That’s cool, thanks for the info. Language is so fascinating 👍
