TEAM THUNDERDOME.

TWO TEAMS ENTER. TUMBLR VOTES. ONE TEAM LEAVES. TRIAL BY COMBAT. TO THE DEATH. VICTORY OR SOVNGARDE.

The Rules:

Fights will occur over the course of ONE WEEK, quarter 1 begins JUNE 1ST, 2024 at 12:00 AM MIDNIGHT EDT (UTC-04:00).

Multiple fights happen across one week.

ONLY 3 to 4 team members per team. 2 is too few, 5 is almost cheating. If a team has more than 4 members, some will have to wait in the stands (looking at you, Scooby-Doo and Tally Hall).

Tumblr poll will determine the winner of an individual fight via emotional support and gracious cookie donations.

Majority Wins. Whether or not a team would canonically win or lose the fight does not matter, only the number of votes.

Single Elimination.

Outside of the rules listed above, anything goes. Reblog a fight to get your friends on your side.

Propaganda is fair game. If you know perhaps a little too much about one of the teams and want to explain why your team should win, please submit an in-depth propaganda post to the blog homepage.

Spread the word! Your favorite might win! (Or not! I just run this thing!)

#OTD in 1947 – The world’s first duty-free shop opened at Shannon Airport, and began as a simple kiosk measuring just a few square metres, selling souvenirs and gifts.

The Duty-Free shop became an immediate success and has been copied worldwide. In its heyday, the tarmac and terminal welcomed leading Hollywood screen stars and celebrities, including Marilyn Monroe, Gene Kelly and Yul Brenner. John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie graced the runway on their historic visit to Ireland to trace their ancestors in June 1963, just five months before his tragic death.…

1980

It was the year new wave broke. The start of the decade. The beginning of The Frogs. The time had come for us to take the stage. The christening of the Flemion brother duo. Drums & wires, sound familiar? Stand up drummer, stand up for your rights or sit down. We didn't have a map, we didn't have a plan, we just made it up along the way. As his younger brother, it was music that Dennis turned me on to & it spearheaded both of our lives & gave us meaning & purpose & I remain grateful. There was a sense of freedom in expression, letting your thoughts be free, letting your voice & spirit out, letting go. A Univox guitar, a Boss distortion pedal, a pig nose amp, a tom tom, a snare & a symbol. Being together making music was so much fun. I repeat the last line, it made you feel alive. Today marks the release of The Frogs "1980 " digitally on all of your favorite corporate satanic platforms, ITunes, Spotify, etc. etc. etc. Yul Brenner. Where's the vinyl you ask? Well I've been doing this & on the outskirts of this industry for over 47 years now & the phone is still hesitating to ring off the hook. As I live & breathe, I take this time to honor my brother who 11 years ago charted another course.

As always I love him so much forever I miss him deeply. You can't even begin to imagine how much your love & support meant to him. I hope this message finds everyone in love & peace & harmony. With love each & every moment to all our adoring fans ❤️ Jimmy

Lyrics:

Bangkok, Oriental City

But the city don't know what the city is getting

The creme de la creme of the chess world

In a show with everything but Yul Brenner

Time flies, doesn't seem a minute

Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boards in it

All changed, don't you know that when you

Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings

Or, or this place

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free

You'll find a god in every golden cloister

And if you're lucky, then the god's a she

I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One town's very like another

When your head's down over your pieces, brother

(It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity

To be looking at the board

Not looking at the city)

Whattaya mean?

You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town

(Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet

Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite)

Get Thai'd, you're talking to a tourist

Whose every move's among the purest

I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

Not much between despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company

I can feel the Devil walking next to me

Thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it

Siam's gonna be the witness

To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness

This grips me more than would a muddy old river

Or reclining Buddha

I don't see you guys raging

The kind of mating I'm contemplating

I'd let you watch, I would invite you

But the queens we use would not excite you

So, you better go back to your bars, your temples

Your massage parlors

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free

You'll find a god in every golden cloister

A little flesh, a little history

I can feel an angel sliding up to me

Songwriter:

One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble

Not much between despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company

I can feel the Devil walking next to me

Yul Brenner ad

[rosetyler42]

Movies are also normally only around like an hour and 30 mins so theaters can get quicker turn around and make more money. Plays are often 2 hrs and 30 mins, which not only means the actors need a break both for themselves and to get the 2nd act ready, but the audience needs to be able to go eat, stretch legs, and go to the restroom.

In the old days before Movie theaters campaigned for shorter times, some very long movies actually DID have intermissions! For example, the Roger's and Hammerstein's King and I with Yul Brenner has one.

Unpopular theatre opinion: intermissions are bad and I wish we could just have a 2.5 hour performance uninterrupted, like people manage perfectly well at movie theaters. It always just kills my emotional immersion. Set changes and costume changes valid, but the art form could adapt in other ways. Or making the intermission experience somehow also part of the performance? Just something more interesting and intentional than dumping people out into the lobby to buy m&ms.

Are many-worlds and pilot-wave the same theory?

It’s been a while, but I’ve occasionally mentioned on the blog that Cecil B. Demille’s The Ten Commandments (the 1950s color version) is one of my favorite movies. And this has remained true even as I’ve come to see it as straight fantasy. An interesting fact from when I first saw it as a very young boy. I initially thought Yul Brenner’s Ramses was two different characters. This was because…

Didn't Westworld come out 20 years after Jurassic Park?

Hello!

The OG Westworld movie with Yul Brenner came out in 1973, so about 20 years before Jurassic Park (the novel, 1990) and the first Jurassic Park movie (1994).
