So I got one of the rare Ted movies on VHS yesterday! I watched it last night and decided to take some screenshots with my phone (since I can't do anything else with it...yet).

Ted plays Detective Corelli. His partner is a douchebag cop who says some not-so-nice things (this was 1997) and treats Ted's character like crap. Poor guy. Just look at how done he is with everything... 😂😭

#ted raimi #screenshots #the shot #1997 #vhs copy #rare and out of print #comedy #he looks so done

honestly, the most devastating news you could hear about in 2007 while playing roblox was learning that Scatman John passed away in 1999. like, finding that out was the roblox child's equivalent to 9/11.

#i remember discovering scatman through like. mario 64 and roblox bloopers. and also through a lot of old roblox levels #and like listening to his stuff and being like wow this guys fucking cool #only to find a remix of one of his songs that had the day he passed away on the still image of the video #i remember being like VERY saddened because i was like ''no.... no it was too soon...''#as if me as a 9 year old kid could've done anything to stop it #it is genuinely sad to see some of the people i liked as a kid having passed away via lung cancer #LIKE NOT TO BE REAL ON THIS FUCKING POST BUT. God man #like it was specifically actors i loved watching as a kid. and learning oh. the bastard cigarette did it again.#growing up i watched a lot of Lucille Ball shows and Jim Varney commercials #Jim Varney especially was another moment for me as a kid that was like. incredibly devastating #like i mainly knew him purely for his Ernest commercials. like i didn't even know he had movies for most of my time watching him as a kid #like we had a VHS tape of his commercials (that's uploaded to youtube) that i was so fucking obsessed with as a kid #like i would constantly play that VHS tape on any television in the house that i could #when we moved i think i watched it a few more times until it eventually ended up in the basement #and immediately i was saddened to find the VHS tape once more #this time found beneath the stairs and covered in a green goop (or mold-like substance)#and from then on id constantly beg my mother to go on Ebay and find Ernest's Greatest Hits Volume 1 #later learned that it was uploaded to YouTube and my mother was like ''why do you want a VHS tape if it's on youtube''#which is like an absolutely fair point but. idk owning a physical copy was a completely different experience #sorry this post was supposed to be about the roblox child's personal 9/11.#anyway did you guys know that Niel Cicierega was on a youtube series discussing and rating Ernest movies #i just thought that was neat

i've got a bit of an odd inquiry, i'm wondering if a thing is a common childhood experience or if it was my personal brand of autism...

when i think back on watching movies (mostly animated movies intended for children) as a kid, i remember not really understanding the overarching Plots. i understood things like "uh oh monster is trying to kill us" or "oh no! quicksand!" but i feel like all movies were just People Going Places And Doing Things to me. i think that rewatching movies in my mid teens and onwards is when i finally like, understood what the heck was even going on, what the characters were trying to accomplish due to internal motivations, and like... the parts of a movie that weren't shown on screen as physical entities but are easy enough to comprehend if you follow what the characters say and do. when it clicked for me that all these movies had plots it was a revelation.

it's entirely possible that i just straight up didn't understand what the characters were talking about, that it took me a long time to fully understand what a bunch of words meant, or that it got lost in an auditory soup. or maybe it's just normal for brains to develop comprehension with age!! i've just never heard anyone talk about this particular experience, but i Have witnessed too much discourse about Good Writing in kid's shows and movies while i know that it would not have made much difference to my seven year old self that couldn't connect a single dot apparently.

anyway does this sound weird or normal to you

edit: it's also possible i am misremembering at what age i started to Understand Movies, and that it seemed revelatory when i rewatched movies i had not seen since i was much younger. much to ponder

#just shower thoughts dot zip #i used to watch our vhs copy of the black cauldron pretty frequently even if it was in english. a language I Did Not Understand #i think that speaks to how little the meaning of dialogues mattered to kid me haha

#kirby #star wars #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #we watched return of the jedi today for the first time in a while :)#possibly since I lost access to the vhs copies at my parent's?#it was the first time I saw the ~enhanced edition~ I'm pretty sure #why'd they change out the fun ewok party song for a worse song???#anyway I was telling my partner that while they did merchandise the heck out of the ewoks #none of the ewok merchandise is good #and they didn't believe me until I showed them a google image search of 'ewok plushie' while they were still on screen for comparison #the proportions always lose an essential element of the appeal of the ewok! it's a shame really.#favorites

It is so crazy to me that Sebastian Stan is now a mainstream critical darling…think of the suffering we had to go through in the early days…the Hot Tub Time Machines we watched for this man….

#sebastian stan #no one will get it like us chubby bunny fans 💪🏻#this happened to me with Jake gyllenhaal too #I still have my vhs copy of bubble boy so nobody gets to tell me anything about Jake

I found it!

Having been reminded about my beloved childhood movie that I rented so much from the grocery store I'm surprised the tape didn't wear out, I was curious if I was able to finally buy a copy now that I'm adult with money. ALAS. No. No digital rights to this ancient, forgotten 90's cheese monster.

But YouTube. YouTube has me covered, as usual.

(Bless you rogue YouTube archivists for helping preserve cheesy, bad media.)

Anyway, now I want to have an online movie night where I force this on other people, and groan at everything that was already extremely dated when it originally aired. Is it as violent and bloody as my tiny child brain remembers? Exactly how badly has this already bad movie aged? I will not know until I watch it again.

#actually i may have bought it once on vhs back in college #but i can't find where that is #anyway i have my digital copy now #edit: WAIT DENNIS HAYBURT IS IN IT???#is that why every time he's in something i'm like 'why are you so embedded into my subconscious?'
