Beyond the Portal: Lessons in Trust and Connections

As I sat at my cluttered desk, surrounded by crystals and candles, I couldn’t help but reflect on the tumultuous journey that led me to this point in my career. The world outside felt shrouded in a thick fog of deceit, and I often found myself questioning whom to trust. I had sensed a shift, a rising tide of insincerity that seemed to seep into every interaction. My clairvoyance, a gift that…

Every time I empty the lint trap in the tumble dryer I think about Boone refusing to wash his clothes because "washin takes all the stuffin outta good cloth" and I can't help but think he was right

The Indian in the Cupboard (1995) dir. Frank Oz. 7.6/10

I would not recommend this movie to my friends. I would not rewatch this movie.

What an interesting name Omri is.

My god, the poor rat being kicked. Patrick is not a friend I would trust. I get that they're kids, but please. But, good character development.

I like that Litefoot is Native American. I like that Little Bear and Boone are amigos. I just think Hal is doing great child acting. Little Bear is such a good character.

It's like honey I shrunk the kids and Toy Story vibes. This really brought me back to my childhood and I really remember so many of the props. Good thing Omri's family just has hella toys.

Back in my day, the best we had was Indian in the Cupboard. Also a good movie.

the fact that none of the night at the museum movies were rated over 50% by critics is a reminder that some ppl don’t know how to have fun. the first two movies were flawless. a night watch guard has to babysit museum displays that come to life, complete w old school villains and endless historical crossovers? incredible concept, incredible execution

If you read this, then you should read this......

If you’ve read the Harry Potter series and/or the Twilight series then you should try……. The “Crave” series by Tracy Wolff = If the Harry Potter series and the Twilight series got together and had a baby, it would be this series. I’ve heard this series has been picked up by Universal Studios who now owns the movies rights for this series. I haven’t heard anything else about the movies and how…

Beneath the kitchen floor is the world of the Borrowers -- Pod and Homily Clock and their daughter, Arrietty. In their tiny home, matchboxes double as roomy dressers and postage stamps hang on the walls like paintings. Whatever the Clocks need they simply "borrow" from the "human beans" who live above them. It's a comfortable life, but boring if you're a kid. Only Pod is allowed to venture into the house above, because the danger of being seen by a human is too great.

When you were a kid were you also obsessed with the idea of being tiny and using dollhouse furniture and other repurposed found objects both natural and man-made?

So, I just found out about this 1995 film, "The Indian in the cupboard", where this boy has a magic cupboard that brings his toys to life.

And this kid had the INGENIOUS idea to put Darth Vader with Rexy the Tyrannosaur from Jurassic Park.

And when they come alive, THEY BOTH START DUKING IT OUT!!!🤣

God I WISH that was an actual fight between the real characters! XD

[nonbinary-octopus]

listening to an audiobook of a book I'd loved as a kid, and... it's way more racist than I remembered. In a couple different ways... stuff I hadn't noticed before, the way the author (who is the reader) does the voices, and... it's a different edition, which I first noticed by the fact that a few measurements were in centimeters rather than inches, and a character’s name is different. But as I continued, there's a bunch of sentences scattered through the book which just weren't there in the version I've read before. (and one line which I was used to that this edition lacks.) And a lot of these additional sentences... make the book more racist.

I have to wonder, was this the work of a localizer? In addition to changing the measurements to be more easily understood by an american reader, did they purposely trim off or modify racist lines?

I'm not sure I'm going to finish listening, honestly
