My folks got me a phone with prepaid minutes when I got my first car just after high school. One of those old black flip bricks with enough money to call home if I locked my keys in the car or had other car related issues.

(rb maybe so I get more answers <3)

Came across this old ad in my college stuff...a real blast from the past!

Bucket hat? Check

Sweater set? Check

Giant Nokia cellphones? Check

All this needs is a reference to Cingular instead of AT&T and it would perfectly encapsulate pre-9/11 America haha

Watching the cell phone episode of "The Mega Brands That Built America" has me remembering that time I got a Blackberry Pearl just for the scroller ball and internet connection, and trying to update my LiveJournal during a power outage.

My first cell phone was a Nokia, a dark blue candy bar phone. My custom ringtone was a midi version of Sting's Desert Rose. Remember Cingular?

Wait shit my first phone isn't actually an option

Nokia 5110 baybeee

just got done seeing the re-release of sam raimi's spider-man on the big screen and now y'all are gonna hear my thoughts whether you like it or not:

the danny elfman music kicked on during the opening credits and i had full-body goosebumps before the marvel logo even came up on screen because i'm a fucking loser.

speaking of opening credits, remember when movies used to have those? i miss it. bring them back.

the upside-down kiss remains the greatest cinematic kiss of all time. don't argue with me when i'm right.

the setup and repetition of "don't tell harry." fantastique.

the cinematographyyyy. bitch. the way the camera follows spider-man swinging through traffic, up and around buildings, across the city…..i just don't get the same feeling of movement in either of the reboots. they're too clean. they're like iphone commercials. they're gross.

speaking of iphones, during the festival scene in times square there was a billboard ad for cingular and i thought about how i used to have a cingular phone and i almost committed suicide in the theater. i'm so old.

everyone calls her "aunt may" – including norman osborn, a grown-ass man. 'twas adorable.

"and i know i'm not your father—" "then stop pretending to be!" maybe i WILL kill myself in this alamo drafthouse.

watching this made me miss having regular-degular goons and scumbags in comic book movies. i'm tired of the "i want to rule the world, i want all the power" schtick. rob a bank. hijack a train. kidnap the mayor. have fun with it. you're in a comic book movie, for fuck's sake.

the balance between campy fun superhero stuff and earnest, genuine emotion was better than i remembered – and one never came at the expense of the other.

jk simmons. nothing else to add here – i just wanna remind people that he fucking crushed this role and burned it down and nobody has been able to touch it since.

on a similar note: willem dafoe. he didn't just chew the scenery – he had a fucking feast. fuck, man. he's great.

unrelated to the film-making itself, but....what exactly is the military purpose of a glider where the pilot is completely exposed? and why did it already look like a halloween machine before osborn becomes the goblin? questions i ask.

anyway, i realize you could hand-wave a lot of this as me falling for the nostalgia of it all (which i absolutely am), but also...i dunno. there's an undercurrent of sincerity to this movie that i just don't really feel in comic book movies anymore. that's probably because the current spate of comic book movies aren't even really movies anymore – they're products. they're vacuum-sealed, rubber-stamped, climate-controlled products to sell you a disney+ subscription or whatever the fuck the warner bros equivalent is (is it max? i think it's max). and every movie has an ending setup that tries to sell you on the next product, and the next, and the next...

anyway. with this first spider-man, yes it's silly at times, but this movie embraces it, warts and all. there's a well-balanced mix of goofy dialogue ("are you in or are you out?" "it's you who's out, gobbie – out of your mind!") and heartfelt moments (i mean, do i even need to say it? "with great power comes great responsibility"). i know it's a hack thing to say "they don't make movies like they used to" but.....man, they REALLY don't make movies like they used to.

If dumping RAM on Qualcomm-powered feature phones wasn't over-the-top enough for getting UI screenshots, the same process with JTAG might just be! Memory searching and JTAG test points were utilized on the Samsung SGH-X427m and Gravity TXT to get clean rips of their interfaces.

22, 17 if you have one, 33, 6 - for the meme :-)

6.) if you could choose any place in the world to visit, where would it be? why?

that is so tough. there are countless places i want to visit, but also... hate the tourism industry. i definitely want to visit places as well a visitor and not a tourist. currently, i think id like to go to somewhere along the Mediterranean sea... maybe the cinque terre, or somewhere in greece

17.) what’s your favorite painting? and describe how it makes you feel?

i really like andrew wyeth's stuff lately! i honestly enjoy all of his paintings, but i have a soft spot for "master bedroom" (and all of his dog ones hehe)

22.) what was your first cell phone?

UHHH oh god it was some kind of cingular (yeah.) flip phone. that thing was a fucking trooper. it survived, no joke, a month buried in the snow. and worked. like it turned on immediately when i found it again.

33.) your personal favorite oddity about yourself?

UMM... my ability to speak individual dogs' languages. and also come up with great funny acronym things on the spot (like CPTSD stands for Can't Poop Today, Sucking Dick"
