Hello!
Do you like rock music?

Hi!

I love rock music and it has been for a while now.

I think since the 60s.

Yeah, it's definitely a classic and great genre.

White snake has had over 50 members through it's history.

That's crazy!

I know.
The list has its own wikipedia page.

I wonder why so many people ended up leaving/joining the band.

Do you know if they were just a specific position switching out, like a guitarist?

I guess they may not have get used to that life style.

Did you know that a song became popular because a DJ didn't reveal the band name.

Don't remember where it was, but still incredible.

That's pretty interesting.

Sonic the hedgehog was supposed to have been in a rock band.

I wonder how that would have worked out.

Hahaha.

Honestly, I have no idea.

I also heard that he have a blond haired human girlfriend named Madonna.

That's really strange.

I'm glad he just stayed a video game character.

Viktor tsoi kept his job in a boiler room after becoming the biggest rock star in russian history.

russian already sounds like rock anyways.

Rock is kind of interesting, even Oklahoma has a state rock song.

That's pretty cool.

Did you know the man who assassinated Abraham Lincoln was named after the man who assassinated Julius Caesar?

too much concidence.
Abraham Lincoln has a unusual voice.
Do you know how he sounded?

Apparently he had a high pitch voice, I never would have guessed that!

I always imagined him as having a deep voice for some reason.

Me too.

The say that he used to keep his important documents in his hat.

That's kind of funny.

Now we know why the hat was so high.

hahaha

He had so many secrets in there, lol!

Lincoln created the secret service the morning he was shot.

That seems suspicious.

I think so too.

Abraham Lincoln was the first republican as well.

That's interesting!

He started a long line of bearded republicans!

he had done good things as well.

He preserved the Union and abolished  slavery.

Yeah, he was very noble and good hearted.

He was also a lawyer before becoming a politician!

I wonder if he was a good lawyer.
I heard he also modernized the economy.

Yes,he was a  very good president!
Well, it was nice chatting with you!

See you next time


Hi, how are you today?
Do you like rock music?

Hi!

I do like rock music, I like a little bit of everything.

The state rock song of Oklahoma is "Do You Realize?"

by the Flaming Lips.

I didn't know that states had rock songs.

Especially a lot of midwestern states seem to have songs attached to them.

I was reading that Whitesnake has had over 50 members in its history.

They must not be fun to work with.

I guess not.

Maybe it's band to put on your resume, then move on.

I don't know how much they tour.

It could be a tough gig.

Probably some overdosed.

I read that a hanson song became the most requested track on a chicago station not because people liked it, but the station created an air of mystery about it by not telling people who sang the song.

That was very smart of them.

Get new listeners, more advertising.

Probably a boy band is not what most listeners were looking for.

I heard the sonic the hedgehog character was supposed to be a member of a rock band, and had a girlfriend named madonna, but I didn't hear the whole story.

Do you know?

Sonic in a rock band?

I guess he has the haircut for it.

He could probably have joined Whitesnake.

Oh yeah, that would have been good.
Are you interested in history?
I was reading about Lincoln.
He had a high pitched voice, I guess.

That's funny because he was very tall.

He kept his important documents inside his hat.

I guess that hat was pretty big.

You know, I always mean to do some research to see if he maybe had some kind of genetic disorder.

He was so tall, and had such strange bone structure.

Especially hearing about his weird voice now, I'm even more curious.

He had a pretty big beard, so I would have expected a deep voice.

He was an unusual guy that met a tragic end.

I would expect deep voice too.

Did you know he created the secret service the very morning he was assassinated?

Ironic.

I guess he recognized that he was at tremendous risk because of the war and his treatment of slaves.

I don't know if the secret service could have saved him.

No, I'm sure they couldn't have.

John Wilkes Booth father was named after the man that assassinated julius caesar.

What a strange story all around.

Yeah, lots of weird connections.
Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy.
JFK had a secretary named Lincoln.
It's kismet.

I've never heard that.

Those types of coincidences are always interesting to me.

We can always find connections if we look hard enough.

For example, Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton are the only two actors to face off against a terminator, an alien and a predator.

Connections abound.

Oh sure, I guess Bender from futurama and the terminator both have the same cpu.

that's great!

Bender is savage.

He really could be a terminator.

Never quite get the salary for Arnold though.

I can't believe he gets paid so much.

He only said like 100 words in Terminator.

His physique is the key.
Plus that Austrian accent.

Its been nice talking to you!

Great chat!
Have a good day!

I You have a great day too


Hi!

So do you like music?

I love rock music and well many other genre's.

Yes, I'm the same!

I love music....I didn 't know the band Whitesnake has had over 50 members over time?Thinking the lead singer stayed the same, not sure?

That is something I read too, I do believe the lead singer is the same.

There was so much great rock music back in the day!

Oh, I know, Decades.

There was so much and people today have no idea how great alot of it was!

Very true!

I really love the electric guitars in Rock, it's all good.

I got to see the best bands in concert that's for sure lol

You sound like me!

I have been to so many concerts and have bought so much music over the years.

I have  alot to refer back to.

Do you have favorite bands?

That's awesome!

My favorites to name a couple would be Pink Floyd and Aerosmith...so many more!

How about you?

Yes, I have seen Pink Floyd a few times and Aerosmith every time they came to our state.

I heard they were going to do Las Vegas for awhile.

I go back to Elvis, Beatles, all the 70 and 80  90 bands.

I have tickets to the Who this year and Bryan Adams so far!

lol

Haha!

That's awesome, you sound like me, I kept memento's along the as well, In the 90s I went to see Candlebox and the drummer came up to me and handed me his drum stick, and I have met many, I wish I could have seen Ozzy but never did which is a bummer.

I know, I would have like that too!

Very cool.

Its hard to get the up front seats!

lol, While in Texas I saw Rod Stewart and manage to get two balls that night.

I went this last year and had second level seat on the side and one of his guys came up to me and a friend and gave us front row center!

we were shocked!!

Very happy that night!!

lol

Wow, that is amazing!

You have been to as many concerts or more than I have lol, I just love seeing them so I will pay for up front if I can, I got real close to the Cult and Queensryche, and at a Van Halen concert I saw some famous people next to me.

Really, that's so interesting!

One of favorites is Led Zepp Lucky to see them in 77, and then again When Robert Plant and Jimmy Page did a tour together and had close seats.

Very Cool.

Would have been nice to see them in 2007 in the UK.

I think those tickets sold out in minutes at a very high price!

You got to see Led Zeppelin??

Wow, that is awesome.

I love those guys!

Yes, not always easy to get tickets they sell fast!

Especially these days.

But just like music we got to see all the great movies too, did you ever see the terminator?

Yes, I enjoyed it.

I can't believe he only made $75,000 in the first one!

I know!

But he did make 15 million in the 2nd one so that's great!

He only had to speak 18 lines in the Terminator and less than 100 words lol...I would take 75 grand for that!

lol, I know....Have you been to the Terminator ride at Universal?

No I haven't but I did go to Universal studios back in the late 90s and went to the Terminator 3D show, wow I was blown away!!

How was the ride?

Yes, that's the one I mean!

Where an actor comes out and rides all around on a motorcycle with the gun!!

Alot of fun!!

The 3D movie was great!

Yes!

That is it, but it seemed like you were on a crazy ride lol.

That franchise is worth 3 billion dollars that's pretty amazing for older movies.

Yes, I agree.

A fun thing to know about Abraham Lincoln, he kept important papers in his hat and his had a high pitched voice!

Who knew?

Really?

That's odd about his voice, he looks so rough lol.

He was a great president though.

And how does it happen that he gets assasinated just after creating the secret service, wow.

I didn't know that either, surprised me.

The same morning!

In the films about him he always has a deep voice!!

Great chat!

I know, very bad for the poor guy.

Thanks for the chat!

I need to go listen to some good Rock music and watch the Terminator now lol!

Bye!


Hello.

Do you like Rock Music?

Rock music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in the US in the early 1950s and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later in the UK as well as the US.

Yes I do like rock music!

I especially like that a lot of rock artists seem to be down to earth, like even after becoming the biggest rock star in Russian history, Viktor Tsoi kept his job in the boiler room.

That's too funny.

Did you know that the state rock song of Oklahoma is "do you realize?"

by the Flaming Lips?

I didn't know states could have state rock songs!

I wonder if Illinois' is that song that became the most requested track on that Chicago alt-rock radio station.

That could be.

You mean that Hanson song?

Yes, the DJ didn't reveal who sang the song or what band did and so everyone wanted to hear who did it, probably.

Yes that's the one!

I think it's interesting that no one knew the band/its members.

On the other hand you have bands like Whitesnake, which has had over 50 members throughout it's history.

Whitesnake was one of my favorite bands.

I didn't know that they had so many members that they had their own Wikipedia page about it though.

Funny.

I also saw recently on Wikipedia that Sonic the hedgehog was actually supposed to be a member of a rockband, with a blond human girlfriend named Madonna!

Right, very funny.

I heard that one, too.

Rock music is actually very interesting, it typically has a 4/4 time signiture using a verse-chorus form but it has become extremely diverse.

Like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or even political.

Yeah rock music is definitely fascinating.

I like that it draws from a lot of other genres I enjoy, like jazz, classical, blues and folk music.

Yes, I like that too.

Did you see the Terminator?

Did you know that Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks only 18 lines in "The Terminator" and less than 100 words in total?

I didn't realize that before.

I never knew that!

I wonder if he had a bigger role in Terminator 2, because I know his pay got significantly bumped from $75k for the first movie to $15 million with the second.

It could be.

I remember that The Terminator movies encompassed a series of films, comics, novels and additional media concerning battles between Skynet's synthetic intelligent machine network and John Connor's Resistance forces and the rest of the human race.

Yeah I'm sure a lot of people appreciated the unique concept of the films.

That's probably why as of 2010, the franchise has made over $8 billion in revenue!

Yes, I agree.

Also, scientists developed a real-life T1000 polymer, the world's first self-fixing plastic call the terminator.

That's crazy!

It's certainly a unique material.

Although I think the Terminator itself isn't the most unique robot; Bender from Futurama shares the same processor, the 6502 cpu.

Yes, and that's same CPU used in Atari 2600, NES, and C64 computer models.

That is amazing.

On a separate note, are you interested in Abraham Lincoln at all?

I find it fascinating the father of his assassinator was named after the killer of Julius Caesar.

Yes, the whole Abraham Lincoln saga is strange, in my opinion.

In fact, ironically, Abe created the Secret Service the morning he was fatally shot by John Wilkes Booth.

That's surprising!

I wonder if things would have been different if he had created it sooner.

I also wonder if his killer found any important documents in Lincoln's hat, where he kept them.

Yes, the answers to which we will probably never find out.

Nice chatting with you, have a good one.


hi how are you doing over there?

Fine.
Are you a movie fan?

yes, i am a movie fan.

I think that there are many fine movies done by Tom Cruise.

Loved him in Rainman and Jerry McGuire.

What do you think of his Mission Impossible films?

he has done a great job finding co-stars that round out the cast.

the stories are strong too.

Can't say.

Only saw the 1st film.

Heard that Angela Bassett is in the latest film.

Like her a lot.

Which costars are your favorites?

i like simon pegg.

ving rhames is also good.

there are a couple of others that i forgot.

What do you think about Cruise still doing his own stunts at age 56

I think that he is taking a risk that could stop production and cost a lot of money.

i see no need for it.

I agree.

Seems odd that Cruise, who has won a Golden Globe Award, never won an Oscar for best actor.

He's starred in so many films!

he doesnt do the right kind of films, or doesnt play the right role.

in rain man, he did not have a disease.

in born on the fourth of july, he probably had a chance but the other films were good.

The film I felt he really earned an Oscar for was Jerry Maguire.

So memorable.

Do you agree?

he did a great job, but it was a date movie about sports and the academy likes middle brow stuff.

weighty material about war and disease.

Date and sports movie, yes, but I'll never forget it.

Did you know the M. I. series started in 1996?

there was a tv show before that.
the films started in the 90s, i know.

The 60's TV show was a bit silly, but that was part of its appeal; that, and the tape-recorded mission messages...

Ever see a re-run?

yeah, probably a couple.

it was 60s TV, a bit campy, but what are you going to do?

it was the time of odd soundtracks and weirder clothes.

Yes!

M. I. films don't seem to take themselves too seriously, I'

which is good.

i mean, come on, its a spy show with silly masks and stuff.

have fun!

its hollywood!

escape for two hours.

Agreed.

Do you plan to see the latest installment: M. I - Fallout?

I would like to.
it got good reviews.
Anyway, great chat!

Enjoy your Tom Cruise movie!
Cheers!


Are you a tom Cruise fan?

Indeed i think he's a great actor.
How about you?

I think he is pretty good.
He hasn't won many awards though.
Did you know that?

I did not, seems like he would have.
Did you like M.I.
Fallout?

I haven't seen it.
Is that the latest one?

Yeah i give it a 7 but i will still go and see the next one, lol!

Yeah, I'll eventually see it.
He's pretty entertaining to be honest.
I liked him in Risky Business.
Hilarious.

Oh my God you taking me back now.

You k now he made 75Million from one movie?

No, I didn't know that.
He also built an underground bunker.

Underground bunker!

Does he know something we don't, lol.

Do you know he vandalized the worlds tallest building?

He's probably losing it a bit to be honest.

It wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah apparently back in 2010 he sketched Katie Holmes name into a spire.

Hmmm, is that true?
It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Apparently he does his own stunts, he hung of a airplane at 5,000 feet.

Yeah, that will do the trick.
What about inception, have you seen it?

That is one of my all time favorite movies.

You?

I saw it.

I got confused throughout it.

I didn't realize they tried to cast Will Smith.

Did you?

I did not glad they didn't I like leo.

It took Nolan 10 years to write inception.

Wow, that is a long time to take to write a script.

Well, nice chatting with you!

I know but it grossed 828 Million world wide, the 4th highest in 2010.

Nice, well, take it easy.


Hey!

Have you heard of Tom Cruise?

What do you think about him doing his own stunts?

I think that he is a great actor, Ive always thought he had mad skills and think its kind of dangerous him doing his own stunts

I totally agree with you but on the other hand, it is kind of cool and makes the movies more realistic.

Although Mission Impossible-Fallout is pretty far out there as far as realism goes.

I agree, movies are becoming unrealistic like that, they have become too scaled, irrational.

I know,  take the Mission Impossible movie for example.

Tom Cruise does a motorcycle chase in Paris.

That's not bad but what is is that there's hardly anyone on the road.

Totally fake.

Yeah totally fake indeed, What I do like about the movie is the different locations, Paris, London, Kashmir.

That is nice.

It's all good to look at.

Even Tom Cruise is, and he's 56 years old!

He doesnt look like he has 56 years!

I heard he made 75000000 from Mission Impossible 3

That's way too much money!

He gets away with so much stuff, like scratching katie holmes's name in the world's tallest building.

Wow I wonder why he would do that, you know he spent two years learning swordplay and also japanese for a movie.

That's good and shows some depth.

On the other hand, he did spend $10 million  on a bunker that's underground to protect himself from aliens!

That seems a bit paranoid, speaking of movies did you watch Inception?

I don't think I have.
Is it any good?

Its actually pretty good, its directed by Christopher Nolan, the movie had $828 million in sales.

Wow!

Isn't that the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio in it?

Yea Leonardo is the leading actor, you know two famous actors rejected the part, I bet they regretted that.

Really?

Which ones did that?

Seems like you always hear of big names rejecting parts and then finding out the movies do fantastic.

Will Smith and Brat Pitt are the ones that declined the role, and yeah I bet they though it was going to be a lousy movie.

They are very different that Leonardo.

I wonder how the movie would have been with one of them instead.

Tom Cruise has a wide range of movies from Top Gun to Rain Man though.

I guess he could do any role.

I bet it would be different for sure, I liked Top Gun I think it was a great movie.

It was a good movie.

I did see that one way back in the day!

You got me thinking about that movie, Inception, though.

Wasn't Elon Musk's wife in it?

Yeah she was in it, I though she was pretty good, you should definitely watch it, great movie.


Good afternoon!
A you a fan of movies?

Yes.

Are you a fan of the Mission Impossible film series?

Tom Cruise made $75m from Mission Impossible III alone!

I'm not that much of a fan of TC movies as i used to be - maybe because they're all pretty much the same as with MI series.

I do like his early work

Yes I'm not either.

Must be nice to make that kind of money.

You said it - so much money to make essentially the same movie over and over and over...

Cocktail is probably my favorite movie of his, and that was decades ago!

They are repetitive.

I didn't care for "the Last Samurai" but I did like "Top Gun."

Didn't see the Last Samurai.

I heard they were making a TG sequel - wonder how that will be received?

Probably not as well as it was during the Reagan admin.

I didn't realize Elon Musk was in Inception.

I thought I heard about Elon Musk in Inception, but I cannot recall what character he played?

I've seen that movie several times to try to understand it!

No kidding!

It was sooooo hard to follow.

It took 10 years for Nolan to write something that confusing.

Talk about a passion project!

Probably needed multiple flow charts to keep track of everything....

Yeah!

I was wrong...

It was Musk's wife that was in Inception.

I have no idea what she looks like.

Nolan got his son in the movie too.

Aha!

I was just racking my brain about EM in that movie!

And now I need to figure out who his wife is!!

Sorry :)  I will say Cruise is dedicated.

He spent two years learning Japanese for the Last Samurai.

I think the concept of the Last Samurai is fascinating, because of what it implies - their only purpose in life is to protect their Master and if they fail to do that they must kill themselves.

In the rare occasion they are without a Master due to other circumstances, they go Ronin (another great movie) and basically become a mercenary.

It's kind of true for Cruise in that he spent $10M for a bunker to protect himself from aliens.

I wonder if that's true.

I know he's a little wacky but that seems a bit too much.

That probably has more do with him being a Scientologist than anything - and the most popular member of that religion to boot!

Yeah I heard of that.

He did etch Katie Holmes name on the top of the Burj Khalifa building.

That's wacky so...

All this TC trivia is a little creepy, feeling like I need a shower!

I almost forgot about the Katie Holmes marriage and kid....

He sure has led a full life

Yes, but I too am having to rethink him.

I really did like him in Risky Business back in the day.

He actually does his stunts like hanging from a plane at 5,000 feet in the newest MI.

Risky Business was great, I was a huge Rebbeca De Mornay fan when I was younger...

Yeah, she is/was hot.
Thanks for the chat.
You were excellent!


HI, how are you?

Hello, did uou watch Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom?

what are your thoughs on this movie

I did not see it.
Did you?

I did, I  liked it but there are some absurb scenes that didnt make sense at all

Was that the second one with Chris Pratt?

I saw the first one, not the second one.

Yeah exactly thats the one with Pratt, he is a velociraptor trainer in the movie

I think I only saw that becuase my wife has a crush on him.

I think he may have been shirtless on the trailer so my wife was all in on the movie.

Did you like it?

I liked it, I thought it was a nice movie although many parts were unreal like when the volcano explodes and he suddenly can move again.

Ill check it out when it comes to Netflix...

I found it odd that the dinosaurs were only on the screen for 15 minutes.

Must have had a small CGI budget.

Yeah, Im guessing its a expensive production overall, theres a cool fact and theyy used elephant roars for the t-rex

Really?

I recently heard that dinosaurs had really small and meek roars.

Not at all like what is projected at movies or on TV.

Maybe they projected it this way so that they would sound scarier, also velociraptors were smaller than projected in movies.

Did you see that the park ride cost more than the movie to make?

No I actually didnt see that, os are you a dinarour fan?

I used to love them when I was a little kid

I really did not get into them.

That and space were never really that intriguing to me.

What about you?

I like them, I  think there are many interesting facts about them I heard scientists recovered a sample of tissue and blood vessels from a T-Rex

Really!

Wow, I wonder if they are going to try and clone it.

Seems like something we would do and then immediately regret...

Yeah, Jurassic Park should work as a warning lol, that would definetely chage things.

I can see them screwing it up and having some sad creature that only semi-resembles a dinosaur.

It would be an ethical dilema for sure.

For sure, it would generate a lot of dispute so anyway do you like how Chris Pratt acts?

I do know some like he worked at Bubba Gump.

Nice chatting with you!


Did you watch Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom?

No, but I have heard some about it.

At least the woman is not running in high heels in this movie!

there are 7 scense that dont make sense at all

I remember talk about one.. Chris Pratt is paralyzed by a tranquilizer dart but then crawls away from molten lava using his paralyzed limbs.

Ha!

Yeah and also the computer parts of the old park still function that is also an absurd thing

Someone was amused by Chris Pratt doing a somersault through the open mouth of a T-Rex.

Is that the scene in which Chris Pratt defies physics?

because thats also another ridiculous scene

Apparently he became an athlete after being a house builder.

That seemed strange.

It does seem strange and also how in the middle of the film Pratt developed Nave SEAL skills in a magical way

One reviewer also said that the movie managed to make dinosaurs boring which is hard to do.

I didnt really like the movie, the old Jurassic Park movies were so much better many inconsistensies I do like the leading actor

Apparently the dinosaurs only appear for 15 minutes in the film.

Universal built a ride that cost them more than the film did.

Really?
how much did it cost?

The ride cost $110 million while the film was $63 million.

Oh seems like they should spend more in the movie and add more dinasour time in it.

Did you hear about the joke Chris Pratt made about the franchise

I think people do get bored looking at too much dinosaur time.

The people are more interesting.

What was Pratt's joke?

He joked about getting the part in 2010 for Jurassic Park 4

Wow!

That is like a premonition.

I guess I will make a joke about winning Power Ball.

I guess you know that the raptors are not computer generated, but are people in dinosaur suits?

Really?

they fooled me, I thought that was the computer, it sure takes a long time to render one frame of the T-Rex dinasaur

I suppose that is because of the raindrops and water dripping from T-Rex.

The detail is impressive I guess thats why it takes so long to render them

I think so too.

Well, my wife is asking me to go get some whipping cream for some chicken soup so I am going to wrap it up.

Nice chatting with you.

You wouldnt want to upset the wife!

hope you have a nice meal, thanks for the chat and the cool facts.


Have you seen Jurassic world?

I tried watching it but it had some many "believability" problems from talking to velociraptors to costuming.

Yeah it was a bit cheesy.
I do like chris pratt though.

Yeah, he's cool even though his sudden Navy SEAL special forces transition was a bit much.

the dinosaurs only appears for 15 minutes

Really?

Seemed like much the same with the predictable humans over dinos where that usually turns out bad.

well it only grossed 63 million and it cost 110 million.

Maybe deviating from CGI had a price.

There were actually people inside of suits for the dinos.

No CGI wow what a rip off.

apparently Pratt joked about the lead role.

No surprise there.

:)  He's come a long way from waiting tables at 19.

At a Bubba Gump nonetheless...

That's for sure, you know it took 6 hours to render one frame of soaked rained t-rex.

I'm not sure I have the patience for that.

Did you know 40% of Americans think humans an dinos lived at the same time?

Wow too funny!

James Gun wanted Pratt for Guardians so bad he was willing to CGI him a six pack.

Hee.

He could just exercise.

Wonder if Pratt made a similar deal when Spielberg casted with in JP 4.

Yeah probably.

Did you know that all 50 states have Dino Fossil in them.

Pretty cool.

Maybe that's why Canada came up with a glow in the dark dino coin.

Do you know who they were considering for the role in guardians before pratt?

The guy that plays Dennis on Sunny in Philly?

I never watch the show, do you think he would have done a better job?

No.

I do watch the show and it's funny but I can see him doing better.

The original JP's were much better in my opinion.

It looks that way given the dinos were only there 15 minutes.

I also think people are a little burned out on JP.

Yup.

well it was nice chatting with you have a good day.


Hi, how are you?

Hello.

So I've been reading about Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Chris Pratt.

I haven't seen Fallen Kingdom yet though.

Me too.

Is there anything that stood out for you?

About the movie, a little, but I became really interested in the last paragraph when it talked about how scientists expressed the genes of chickens and they grew teeth.

I was a little surprised the dinosaurs were only on film for 15 minutes.

Seems like that is not a lot...

They did a good job of really building suspense so when they WERE on screen, it was a big deal!

That's true.

Really good point.

I loved the Michael Crichton book so I never saw the original Jurassic Park in fear that it would ruin the book.

Still haven't seen it...

I think aside from my husband's obsession, the movies feel a bit dated, the older ones do, so it might be harder to see.

I did see the first one with Chris Pratt but that is all I have seen.

I think I saw it because my wife may or may not have a thing for Chris Pratt, post-parks and rec when he got ripped.

That's true, he became really hot lol.

He was pretty good in Parks and Rec, but as Star Lord he just rocks it.

He does really good in silly movies.

Agreed.

Can you imagine him waiting on you at Bubba Gump, and then seeing him on tv a few weeks later?

That would be hilarious.
Like hey honey, wasn't that our waiter?
Oh heck, he's made it to tv!
haha.

He wouldn't be the most incredible actor who made the jump.

He is talented at those roles though...

Yeah.

I haven't seen him in any of the other movies listed like "her" or "delivery man" but the few I have seen, he's pretty funny and sells the role.

The generic role... "delivery man" that's funny.

I really liked parks and rec.

Did you?

Yeah, though I never finished it because I got tired of how aggressive Leslie Knope was after a while.

And it felt weird that her dream became the focus, and Ben's just got crushed.

Kinda opposite of Feminism.

HA!

Yeah, as someone who works in parks and rec, it got really corny, really fast but I was so impressed with the writing.

It was so good.

The writing was great, yes.

Chris Pratt and April made the show for me.

Happy dog and angry cat!

HA!
I always liked the "Damnit Jerry!"
when Jerry would not do anything wrong.
That poor guy.

I saw him in another Tv show recently, for a one time part, uhh Brooklyn 99, he was funny for a one time bit.

Poor guy indeed.

I must have missed that one.

I love 99.

That's another well written show.

Almost got cancelled so I am glad NBC picked it up.

Yes I've been watching it on Hulu episode by episode as it continues!

Nice chatting with you!


Did You hear that clowns copyright their makeup designs on eggshells ?

I never heard that one.

Also, American makeup companies have resumed animal testing so they can sell products in China.

How is animal testing related to selling products in China ?

Sorry, I don't get that one...

not sure but maybe it's required to happen before china will buy?

keanu gave $80 million of his $114 million matrix salary to special effects and makeup staff

I wonder why ?

Didn't movie producers pay them as well ?

probably not that much

...but they probably did and special effect staff agreed to it... maybe Keanu could give that money to charity... :) Just thinking at loud ;)

Did you know that until 1800 both hand knitting and machine knitting were used to make socks but after 1800 it was mostly machines knitting

It's hard for me to believe that :) I'm sure a lot of people were doing it the old way...

It seems like you probably are right.

The acoustic era gave rise to the expression "put a sock in it" because people put a sock in the phonograph horn to mute it.

lol ;) that's a one way to use it !

:) I wonder what were they doing when wife or husband were too loud or was talking too much :)

lol.

I just learned that best buy and target will price match amazon.

Bestbuy ?
Do You believe that ?
They are usually very expensive...

I don't know but I hope so!

The first Target opened in 1962 in Minnesota.

They both try to catch up after amazon, but I think Amazon will out perform both of these...

It might in the long run.

Sears is going out of business and other malls that are brick and mortar sad to see.

Vermont is the only state to not have a Target store though.

Not yet You mean :) I wonder why... any laws prohibiting it to open ?

i don't know.

I doubt that.

Target hasn't carried any tobacco products since 1996.

Good for them.

I mean morally good, but I'm guessing they lost a lot of money by doing so... don't You think ?

I don't know.
Does walmart sell cigarettes?

I wouldn't know, I've never smoked ):

80% of supplements though sold in Walmart, walgreens, target and gnc contain none of the advertised herbs, so wonder how they can legally advertise?


How's it going, did you know Michael Chiklis went bald because of a mishap with theater makeup?

Really?
Id be so mad!

Yea, Chiklis was only 20 at the time too, I wonder what makeup caused it

Well, the Ancient greeks used white lead.

That couldnt have been good for them.

Sounds like a bad idea.

Did you know Clowns copyright their makeup designs on eggshells?

No.

How does one even do that?

I am not into makeup myself.

Just never cared to wear any.

I think it is cook Keanu Reeves gave $80 million of his salary from teh matrix to the special effects and make up crew

Keanu is a great guy.

Apparently in Team America the Kim Jong-il statue was just a person in makeup

Probably, make up can really transform you into almost anyone

Yea, it's a shame that American cosmetic companies has gone back to animal testing though

I thought they outlawed that a long time ago.

Poor animals.

Apparently it's done so makeup can be sold in China

Still doesnt make it right.

I guess since some of it is made from coconut oil it isnt as bad.

Yea, places like Target should refuse to sell, I mean they already refuse to sell Tobacco in their stores

And they have banned the salvation army bell ringers.

I wonder why?

I never knew Vermont doesn't have any Targets in the state

They dont?

They are sure missing out.

Target is great, they have even trademarked the fake french "target" because it became so popular.

That's pretty funny, I guess price matching Amazon helps Target be so popular

It really would.

If I can grab it and not wait, I am good to go.

Yea the amazon price match is a nice perk but it can be a hassle to deal with the Target employees

Did you know it was founded the same year as Walmart?

No, I had no clue.

Well I have to go, nice chatting with you


Hi, do you like cosmetics?

Hello.
How are you?

I'm great thank you.

Did you know Kim Jong-Il's statue in Team America was just a person dressed up in makeup?

No.
I never would have thought that.

Me either.

Chiklis went bald at 20 due to a bad makeup disaster.

I did hear that before.

I also saw clowns copyright their makeup designs on eggshells.

That is  interesting.

Keanu reeves gave 80 million of his matrix salary to special effects and makeup staff.

Wow that's a lot of money!
Good for him for doing that.

Yes.

very nice of him to treat those people  that way.

Do you wear socks?

Yes.
most times.

Same here.

Did you know socks are among the most needed item in a homeless shelter?

No.
I was not aware of that.

Do you like Target?

Sure.
I shop there once a month.

I do as well.

Best Buy and Target will price match Amazon which is really cool.

Yes.

That is one reason I like shopping there.

Vermont is the only state without a Target store.

That is surprising.
I thought  that they were everywhere.

I thought so too.
Well, it was good talking to you.
Have a good day!


Did you know Spider Man first appeared in comics back in 1962?

I did not know that!
Spiderman is one of my favorite heroes

Mine too.

I like that he had to deal with real life struggles and even financial issues.

Yeah I think his one of the poorest super heroes in the Marvel universe but one of the smartests ones as well.

He did always seem to be short of money didn't he?

His enemies were mostly rich though I think.

I think the Green Goblin had money.

Yeah thats a curious fact, most of his enemies had tons of cash I guess thats what makes Spiderman special

Stan Lee created him to be special, right down to his name.

The only reason there is a hyphen in it is so he wouldn't be confused with superman.

Thats funny lol,  his first appearance was on the comic book Amazing Fantasy, that comic book must be worth thousands now!

at least the original version

i imagine you are very right about that!

I wonder if that comic had Cap'n Crunch's arch rivals in it.

I've heard they have battled Spiderman at some point.

I bet Spiderman whipped the floor with him lol, Sony bough the rights of Spiderman for $10 million I bet they regret not buying the rest.

They thought the world would only care about Spiderman.

Don't get me wrong, Spiderman is great, but i do like the others too.

Me too, I think the Marvel universe has great heroes and well movies has shown that to many.

Not to mention the video games.

Spiderman has great video games, especially for Playstation.

Yeah I have a Play Station 4 and just purchase the latest game, its really good I liked it a lot.

Do you play video games?

I play some.

Did you know that playstation 3's are being used to study black holes?

Really?

I wonder how many of them are being used, I did hear it was cheaper to gather play station 3s than to arm a supercomputer and the results were the same

Apparently they are very powerful computers.

Xbox's are too.

The army uses the controllers to fly uav spy planes.

I bought an xbox when it first came out, it made a creepy sound when it was on standby for too long.

Did it really?

That's weird!

I honestly don't know which is better.

Playstations came out in 1994 and Xbox came out in 2001 but they are both powerful, great game consoles.

I think they are about the same, the only thing that changes are the games some are exclusive to one brand ot the other.

And the fans of each.

For xbox a guy spent 2600 dollars on a carnival game to win one.


Xbox or playstation?

Personally I like the Xbox better.

it's crazy that the first Xbox came out back in 2001 LOL I had one on launch day

Me too, I love xbox, I great up with playstation then got my first xbox 360 after!

Even though it red ringed, I still loved it!

Hurry up my Xbox 360 also Red ringed, it's crazy that it sold 77 million units even with that problem

wow, I tried getting my free one but i missed the warranty by like 1 week!

That's really annoying!

You have an Xbox One by the way?

Apparently it has been released in 21 markets and came out back in 2014

Yep, an I will never look back at playstation!

Even the army uses xbox controllers to fly uav spy planes!

Well I bet they save a lot of money using Xbox controllers instead of custom ones.

It's also crazy that quadriplegics have special controllers that they can play Xbox 360 games with

for sure, lol.

That is awesome they look after everyone's ability.

Have you heard of mikerowesoft.com?

Haha no I haven't what is that?

I just know that if you leave the original Xbox on too long that it starts to make weird noises on the dashboard, I remember those they were very strange

Some kid made that website and sold the domain out of court for an xbox and games.

Smart kid lol.

I remember those also, scary in the middle of the night lol

Haha that is crazy.

You own a PlayStation by the way?

It's crazy that the United States government put together 1800 PlayStation threes and built a supercomputer LOL

I had a playstation 1-3 but my 3 only for netflix.

playstation 2 was awesome, tony hawk was my game!

Yeah PlayStation 2 is my favorite!

And speaking of PlayStation threes, apparently they were being used to research black holes because they were so powerful

wow, that is awesome!

I never knew that.

I used to play grand theft auto on playstation 2, did you play that?

I did play that game.

I played the one on PlayStation 2 though, not the original one, apparently if you put the original one into a CD player you could listen to a soundtrack which is awesome

that would be awesome.

I remember playing the first on PC but the overhead view kind of stinks.

PS2 version was amazing!

Yep I agree!

I also played the video game Spider-Man for the Sega Dreamcast, and I think it's weird that stay used a hyphen in the name Spider-Man so that he wouldn't be confused with Superman, I don't know why they would be confused though haha

that is funny, i never knew that lol.
It makes sense though.
I loved spider-man for playstation too.
It was nice chatting with you!

Thanks you too!

And yes Stanley is the man, even his wife did the voice of Madame web in the Spider-Man series back in 1994 which is cool

wow that is awesome!
Enjoy your night!


hi how are you?
do you play video games?

I'm doing well how are you?

Yes I like playing video games, especially on Xbox!

I have not played Xbox or PS.
whhich do you prefer?
why?

I like xbox more because honestly it's the only system I've had.

I remember getting one way back in 2001.

Microsoft gets many things wrong, but ive heard good things about xbox games.

i played games as a kid, but now, im not interested.

what games do you like?

I like the call of duty games and madden football games!

I think it's cool they have controllers for quadriplegics for xbox 360!

Madden is fun.
i played madden many many years ago.
controllers for quadriplegics?
how do theydo that?

I'm not sure, probably using their mind or something!

The US army even uses xbox 360 controllers to fly uav spy planes!

Crazy!

those controllers are probably so well designed that anyone can learn them in five minutes.

thats great!

now i want a UAV spy plane of my own.

It would be easy indeed!

Are you into superhero characters like Spider-man?

I like spider-man.

most of the heroes are not so interesting to me.

do you like spidey?

I do!

I think it's funny why spider-man has a hyphen in his name!

yes, i never thought about that.
Why?

Stan lee didn't want anybody to confuse him with superman?

I guess that's smart?

Oh, ok. yeah, i could see that the spellings would look similar.

plus superman is DC and spidey is marvel.

Can you believe what Sony paid for the rights to Spider-man in 1998?

they should have paid a lot for that character.

he is quite valuable.

I wonder how much money he has brought in for them?

I know playstation has many games about him since they are Sony.

Yeah, that would make sense.

Sony wants to use its IP for its own platforms as much as possible.

Anyway, great chat!

The Department of Defense even uses playstations.

They know what is up.

Great chat with you as well.

Have a good one!

Have a great weekend!

Thanks you as well!


Hello, have you seen the movie Jurassic World?

Helo there, yes I have and I like them all.

Did you know dinosaurs in Jurassic Park only apperad for 15 minutes?

Wow that is pretty short in a movie that is all about dinosaurs don't you think?

haha I know.

And the Jurassic Park ride cost twice as much as the whole movie

That is insane, but I heard that is cost like $110 million, that is a ton of money

Yeah pretty insane.

Do you know how they generated the raptors in the movie?

Yeah they had people get in suits and act, pretty cool considering everything is animated nowadays

Yeah I know right?

It took them 6 hours though to make one frame for t-rex in the rain all soaked up

Yeah that is a long time I guess that is why they opted for the suits for the raptors

Yeah good point.

Chriss Pratt joked about getting the lead and then got it later on

Haha smart guy, it worked pretty well for him I guess.

Did you see JUmanji?

I did actually and liked it quite a lot.

Did you know the boy from Jumanji was the voice of chip from Beauty and the Beast?

Wow nice.

it had a budget of $91 million and the Rock alone got 1/4 of it and some more

Yeah he made a ton of money.

The opening weekend was $36 million alone

Yeah and they went on to make over $1 billion worldwide

Yeah that is a ton o fmoney, wow.

Do you know who was the voice of Slick in the Jumanji cartoon?

Yeah I think I read somewhere that it was TIm Curry, pretty cool

Yeah that is.
Do you know much about physics?

I know some stuff like Kim Jung Un has a degree in it

Wow I guess he is smart.

It seems if physics laws had not been violated the universe would have no existed

That is cool then with me if that had to happen


Hi there, have you ever seen Jurassic Park movies?

Yes, I have.
There good!
Have you?

Yeah I have seen some of them.

The dinosaurs appear only for 15 minutes in the movies

Interesting.

Those movies keep you glued to your seat.

Interesting the velociraptors were only waist high to an adult.

Yeah, and yet we think they were so big, all of them.

Do you know how they got the Raptors in the movie?

What do you mean get them in?

Interesting, originally Jurassic world was going to be about human like raptor hybrids!

Oh I just meant they were not animated but they had people inside suits

Oh really, that makes sense.
I think I saw something about that.
very cool!

Yeah.

Have you ever ridden in the jurassic park ride?

Yes, many times!

I love how it spins you around and around Jerks about.

my gosh its a ride.

lol

Nice.

Apparently it cost $110 million to build it, that is a lot of money

Hold on, I was reading about Jumanji and thinking about the mummy ride at Universal.

the Jurassic Park ride line was 90 minutes.

Haven't got to that one yet.

I have seen it all very cool at night!

Wait and go early and get a fast pass.

lol Have you?

I have not yet.

But I was surprised to learn that it cost to build twice more than the movie itself

Yes, I was surprised to know Jonathan Hyde is from Australia.

Have you seen Jumanji?

I have seen it and I like it.

The movie made so much money $1 billion workdwide

Wow, that's alot!

The Rock got a good chunk of that $91 million.

That is amazing.

Did you know the voice of Jumanji is also the voice of chip from Beauty and the Beast?

Chip?
Oh, I loved that movie and its voice.
lol

Yeah me too.

On another topics, do you have much interest in science?

Yes, very interesting!

I believe that hubble telescope found a galaxy so vast, it shouldn't exist!

That is so cool.

Did you know Kim Jong-Un has a degree in physics?

Really, would have never thought of that!

Good chat!

Same here, have a good one.


Hi.
How are you

I'm fine.
Thanks for asking and you?

I am fine too

Do you like watching movies?

Sure.
Mystery,Comedy.
Sci Fy, Action

Have you seen Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom?

No.
Not yet how is it?

I saw it and it was pretty good.

Its the fifth installment of the Jurassic Park film series.

Have you seen all of them?

Yes.

I thought the first was the best  out of the 4 that I saw

That's a classic for sure.

Do you know the primary sound used to create the T-rex roar was an elephants roar?

That's incredible, isn't it?

Yes.
I had heard that.
Good job on that

You know, despite its title, almost all the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park actually lived during the Cretaceous period.

I didnt know that

I guess Jurassic Park sounded jazzier than crusty Cretaceous Park?

lol

I agree.
It dose not flow very well

I suppose creative license to make it sound better to the ear.

Do you realize that the velociraptors were only waist high to an adult human?

Yes I had read that somewhere.

Did you ever have one of those Dino sized meals from Mcdonald's?

No.

I have not been to Mcdonald's in a few years.

I used to grab a big mac once in awhile

Me either, I try to avoid the fast food route.

I prefer real meat if i am going to eat meat

Lol, well it's been nice chatting with you this lovely, fine Florida afternoon.

I got to go wash my cat, if you know what I mean, I'll talk to you later, friend.


Hi there.

Have you heard of the Razzie Awards?

Seems to award the worst movies of the year!

Yes I am very aware of the Razzies.

I've been shocked about some of the people that have won.

Yes I really like Mark Wahlberg so was surprised to hear he got a double nomination.

He has had good and bad performances.

Great in the Departed and horrible in The Happening.

Yes very much agree.

Also not so good in Daddy's home 2 and Transformers, although I liked those movies.

I am not surprised that the Madea movies have been nominated.

No surprise there!

Also The Snowman, which looked like a cheesy horror film!

It did look awful.

Since you mentioned Transformers, did you know that in the 2007 film there are 1.53 explosions per minute?

Wow that is a lot of explosions.

I guess people really like explosions because the movies ended up grossing over a billion!

That's surprising when Age of Extinction did so well with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 15%.

Yes that is a terrible scoring indeed.

Optimus prime has died more than 25 times in the last 30 years.

He's got more lives than a cat.

Wow!
That seems very excessive.

Yes it does.

Michael Bay was seen in the first film .He was the human flicked away by Megatron.

I did not notice that.

Apparently the CGI in the movie was very complicated.

One frame of movement took 38 hours to render!

That is so much work.

Do you like other action movies like Jurassic world?

I loved Jurassic Park so was hesitant when they announced Jurassic World.

I liked Jurassic World but not it's sequel Fallen Kingdom.

Yeah I liked them both but not Fallen Kingdom as much.

Chris Pratt is one of my favorite actors and he actually once joked about being in Jurassic Park in 2010.

Glad it worked out for him.

That is funny.

Did you know that the movie cost $63 million to make but the ride cost $110 million?

Wow that is hard to believe although I have been on that ride and it is so much fun.

The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park only appear in the film for 15 minutes surprisingly.

It was nice talking with you today.

I had no idea they were in it so little.

They had a big impact.

It was nice talking to you as well.

Have a good one and watch out for those dinosaurs :)


Hey there did you ever watch the TV show Transformers in the 80s?

Of course, who didn't?
The original show?

Yes I watch the cartoon and also some of the movies.

I really like the cartoon, and only like the first movie.

What about you

The first movie released by Bay?

That's a good point, yes I saw that movie and also the original animated movie, I liked both of those movies but the rest were horrible LOL

Yeah, they were.
They all totally were not good.

I agree with you.

Michael Bay is an ok director though, he directed the movie The Rock which is really good.

Yeah, the Rock is a great movie, are you kidding me?

"WELCOME TO THE ROCK!"

LOL I'm glad you know what that movie is!

It's a very different movie from the 2007 Transformers movie which had one-and-a-half explosions per minute apparently

Yeah, well, I liked the original Cartoon Transformers, to be honest.

Yes the cartoon was the best.

Even though the live action movies took 38 hours to render just one frame, because they were so complicated, they still didn't impress me

Is that true?

I think that might be an exaggeration, right?

No I do think that's true on another movies note, why did you think of Jurassic world Fallen Kingdom?

I thought it was horrible

I haven't seen it, but I'll take your word for it.

The original Jurassic Park is the best, even though the dinosaurs in it only appear for about 15 minutes

Yeah, I thought it was good too.
Does this one have Goldblum?

Yes it does for only a couple scenes.

But it's honestly not worth seeing the movie just for him.

No, it's not.

He's not that great of an actor to be honest.

I agree with you.

I do like Chris Pratt though.

I guess he joked with Steven Spielberg about being the lead in Jurassic Park four back in 2010, how right he was lol

They got up to 4?
OMG, where have I been?

Well they did the Remake which I guess counts as four LOL.

Trust me you're not missing anything


Ive always like costumes, I love halloween because of that, what about you?

Halloween is ok.
I never got into it.
Do you go all out for it?

I do, every year a new costume, you know Panda researchers wear a panda costume for work.

I did not know that.

Makes sense but I would not wear it during mating season.... That might be scary!

It would be scary indeed lol, do you know who Johnny Depp is?

I do He spends a ton of money on wine every month, like $30K.

Thats a lot of money for sure!

well he dresses up in Jack Sparrows costumes and visits sick kids at hospitals, I think thats admirable.

So cute.

Although that character might be a little scary for some kids...

I'm sure he does great with it though...

I get your point, might be really scary for some kids, you know Sean Bean from Lord of the Rinds is actually scared of heights.

I did read that he hiked instead of flying.

Seems like a waste of time.

Just sedate him and take off.

I know right lol, that would be a fun approach anyway do you like the Gucci brand?

Not really as I am not into status or prestige items.

Do you know anything about them that might change my mind?

Not really, I do know some interesting facts about the brand do you want to know one?

Yes, please!

Ok so Rick Harrison actually dropped out of school to sell fake Gucci bags, he earned about 2000 a week from that.

Wow, that's a lot of money for fake bags.

Who's Rick Harrison?

His a businessman, and really tv personality have you watched Pawn Stars?

I have... That's Rick Harrison????
Didn't Chumly get busted for drugs?

He did?

there was always something off with Chumly lol the founder of Gucci was called Guccio Gucci.

That's a unique name... Chumly was weird.

I only saw like 4 episodes...

It is, it has an italian pronunciation and Gucci was founded in 1921.

I used to like the Pawn shop because of all the history and facts you discovered in the show.


The Razzie awards are an interesting award show.

Have you seen it?

I haven't heard of them until recently.

I think it's a funny concept, to poke fun at some of Hollywood's worst productions, but I feel bad for the nominees!

Have you seen them?

I have only read about them, but I have definitely seen some horrible movies..

I have too!

Have you seen The Room?

It's my favorite terrible movie, they actually made a movie about its cult following called Disaster Artist with Tommy Wiseau.

Have you heard of this?

That definitely deserves a Razzie award@

I have not seen it!

The Mummy was another awful movie, but my all time favorite was Attack of the Killer Tomatoes from the 1950s

I have heard of The Mummy but never saw it.

What is Attack of the Killer Tomatoes about?

It is literally giant tomatoes invading earth.

It is horribly bad!

Another movie called Mother!

got some Razzie awards

That's hilarious.

Yeah, that stars Jennifer Lawrence right?

Did you know Razzie put Tyler Perry in the worst actresses category for his Madea movies?

That is funny about the worst actresses.

I wonder if Walberg has ever had a nomination/

Yeah I haven't seen those movies but I heard they were just awful.

Another hilariously bad movie is called Rubber, it's a horror movie.

Have you seen or heard of it?

It deserves a Razzie for sure.

I have never seen Rubber.

I have seen the movie The Snowman - that is a ghastly movie.

Rubber is about a killer tire that comes to life.

It came out in 2011 I think.

What is The Snowman about?

It was shot and released with a lot of missing footage.

10-15 percent of the screenplay was never shot!

That's crazy!

Did they just not have enough time to shoot?

I think that's by Tomas Alfredson, no?

He's had some decent movies before

Yes he has.

I think the best was when Adam Sandler was nominated for both best actress and actor in the same film!

That's so funny!
How is that even possible?
Is that from Jack and Jill?

yes on Jack and Jill where he played opposite sex fraternal twins

That's so funny.

Good for Adam Sandler, but I guess he wasn't very good in it.

Yes it was apparently not the best film.

But Tyler Perry has been nominated for best actress a whole bunch of times

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

If it was best female character, then maybe, but he's not an actress, he's an actor.

Seems a little transphobic to me, but maybe that's just me?

Yeah it is definitely a bit odd.


Do you wear a costume for halloween ever?

my mom and dad used to dress me up in costumes for halloween sometimes.

How about you?

lol me too, I remember seeing pictures of some ridiculous costumes.

I want to be a panda researcher though

why a panda researcher?

what are the attractions and benefits of such a career?

you get to wear panda costumes while working with them!

ok, i guess that is pretty cool.

that panda costume must get a bit hot  though, right?

i worry that it make me look uncool too.

that is true lol, I think it would look so cool, but maybe not the more i think about it lol.

Tell you one thing though, Johnny Depp dresses as jack sparrow and goes to hospitals to cheer sick kids up

He is a great guy for doing that for the kids.

Other stars sometimes do that, but he is probably popular with the youngsters.

for sure, who doesn't like Pirates of the Caribbean!

do you ever dress in Gucci clothing?

i do not.
i cannot afford the gucci.
but it sure looks cool.
do you have the gucci?

I cannot either, I have some fake gucci belts, i just tell people they are real, they don't know any difference!

i wouldnt know the difference either.

i do not know fashion.

i should learn and become more fashionable.

Me too, lol.

Did you know the creator of gucci was named guccio gucci?

that is a silly sounding name?
gucci o'gucci?
it sounds irish!

Ha it sounds something, but I bet it is Italian or something like that lol.

You can make good money selling fake gucci, some guy started a 2000 dollar a week business doing it

that sounds much better than, say, doing online chatting for cash.

i could get into the fake gucci.

give myself the name gucci o'gucci.

lol, that is a good start to a successful business.

Have Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars get you started lol!

yes, a pawn broker probably knows the value of things pretty well.

he will know how to price fake goods.

that is a good tip.

thanks.

that is a good point, it was so nice chatting on you, I think we have a nice business plan!

Nice chatting with you!
It is a perfect plan.
we cannot fail.

Have a good night!


hi, do you watch the transformers?

I have seen it yes, but I like the cartoons from the 80's the best, what about you?

Nice, I have seen the first one, the original and I heard the rest were not great

ya thats what I heard as well, I know they came out with a new movie Bumblebee that should be good but I didn't see that either

yeah me either.

it is a series of movies that made billions but their rating is so low

yup that is crazy, also crazy is in the 2007 movie there are about 1.5 explosions per minute, thats insane

that sure is.

optimus prime dies more than 25 times over 30 years

ya thats a lot haha, that includes all the comics, cartoons, and movies, etc, its amazing they keep bringing him back

that sure is a lot, that guys is indestructible indeed

oh ya definitely, in the first transformers movie do you remember the part where Megatron flicks a person away?

yeah I heard that was michael bay

yup thats true, and also it took 36 hours just for a comp.

to render one frame in that movie too

yeah that is insane.

how about jurassic world, do you like it?

well I didn't like it sad to say, I like the first one best, even though the dinos only show up for about 15 mins total

do you know how much it cost to create jurassic park?

how much?

I do know that there was a jurassic park ride that cost like 110 million

yeah that one, that is crazy and the movie only cost $63 million

ya thats a bargain, funny the raptors were so scary in that movie and they were just actors in suits

yeah.

did you know chris pratt joked about having the lead and then got it years later

haha that is funny, also funny how it took like 6 hours to render one frame of a trex for that movie, probably would be a lot faster now

Oh I bet for sure.
nice chat


Rihanna was stunning at the Met Gala, she definetely catched a lot of glances.

Yes she was, all the outfits gets more glory than the awards

I know!

I did love her outfit, I am a Rihanna fan and this made me love her even more.

I am a fan of hers too.

KIm K, I wasn't feeling too much though, you?

Yeah me neither, what did you think about Katy Perry and her wings?

I thought it was super creative, I saw some behind the scenes pics of her getting dressed, it was a lot of work

I thought the wings were a nice touch, they gaved the gala something to be remembered by.

Yes, the red carpet IS the show, I don't think I have ever actually seen the awards, lol

You should definetely see the upcoming ones, I am going to watch them with friends.

That sounds like fun, I may do the same thing, make a night of it.

Yeah, you should give it a try, I wonder what surprises will bring this years awards!

Let's see what Nikki Minaj comes up with this time, lol.

She will definetely come up with something weird lol, its crazy how they spend that much money on their clothes for the Gala.

Right and Gucci Gucci everywhere...

Yeah, its crazy how much a Gucci article is worth.

Catholicism and fashion, I wonder how they come up with the themes.

No idea, but its crazy how Rick Harrison dropped out of high school and became a millionare out of Gucci

Right $2,000 a week from fake gucci bags, lol.

Where do I sign up?

lol

I know!
$2000 a week would be nice to have

I wonder if they look at it like it's Halloween (the Met)?

lol...

Some of them definetely do!
its crazy how its become a competition.

Yes, and what a competition it is, a fashion contest.


hi, do you like fashion brands?

I am a fashion misfit.
You?

I do not follow them much nor buy their expensive clothes

Like the Italian brand, Gucci?

yeah, like that one.
do you know when it was founded?

Back in 1921 if I am remembering correctly.

I think it was in Florence, Italy.

I bet they make a lot of money!

Yeah they do for sure, 4.2 billion euros

I bet they are in the top 110 brands with that kind of an income!

DOn't you think?

Oh they for sure are.
do you know who rick harison was?

No, is he with Gucci?

no but he made a living selling fake gucci bags, $2000 a sweek

Not bad... You know, the first woman to run a major motion picture stuudio in the US who started her career out by selling toilet paper with the Gucci brand!

wow that is amazing.
do you know the name of the founder ?

Guccio Gucci!

WHat a great name!

I call him "the gooch"  Now, you can buy "ecclesiastical clothing" from Gucci!

did you know tom for the designer, is also a director

Nope.

New to me!

Did yo know that Hugh Jackman walked around the Comic Con wearing his WOlverine costume?

I wonder if it wa Gucci?

yeah I wonder too now.
do you listen to music?

Sure.

I listen to al lot of older stuff, not like Katy Perry or any of the newer artists.

You?

A mix of ebverything, at least I try to.

katty perry has received 11 grammy nominations and never won

My daughter told me that KP tied Michael Jackson's record of 5 Billboard #1 singles off of a single album, but I couldn't tell yo the name of one of her songs...

Yeah she is pretty popular.
nice chat


Did you play with Legos growing up?

I did play with Legos, my favorite, what  about you?

Me too!

I think its really cool that if all the lego bricks produced were shared out equally every single person on earth would own 86 lego bricks.

86 bricks per person, wow that is a lot of plastic, too much for our environment to handle

I am wondering if they have had a lot of back lash for the plastic usage?

They must cause a lot of contamination that is a sure thing, I heard Lego is investing millions to make sure their new pieces are safe for the environment

I think thats a great idea to ditch their oil-based plastics in search of environmentally friendly alternatives.

I think its a great idea as well, making their product safer for the environment, did you hear about that German graffiti artist, the one that painted a bridge and made it look like it was made out of legos

I want to see a picture of that!

I am sure it attracts a lot of tourists.

It must right, hopefully the city didnt erase his work of art,

I had no idea that they replaced Ferrari as Brand Finance's world's most powerful brand.

Wow, thats a huge step up, there is a 14 karat gold lego given to employees back in the 80s

They are values at nearly $15,000.
That is an expensive lego.

That is really expensive I agree, did you watch the Lego Batman movie?

I did not.
Did you?

I watched it, Batman is my favorite hero, the Dark Knight, such a great hero

Did you know that there was a batman villain named condiment king?

I didnt know that, what are his powers lol,

Not sure but he was defeated by slipping on his own ketchup.

Sounds like his powers were his own kryptonite after all, do you know who Adam West is?

Yes, it is funny that the logo is on his molar.

Yeah the same one, he must be a big fan lol

That is a commitment.

Too bad not many people will even see it.

Yeah its well hidden, in a tough spot,


I don't understand how netflix can have 150 movies with a 100% rotten tomato rating.

Perhaps they are movies no one has bothered to watch.

Have you ever seen a movie with a 100% rating?

No, I haven't.

100% for anything subjective is crazy.

I will say that my husband will agree with the 38% score for Michael Bay.

lol

haha.

I have a feeling that kids are taking over the world.

Spy kids at 93%?

I remember I liked it, but I don't remember it being an A rating.

Also it's hilarious that Legos replaced Ferrari as Brand Finances world's most powerful brand.

Maybe these companies are targeting children as their next target audience?

I would say these companies are really smart.

The brands not only target children but all ages.

Where a ferrari can only be used by adults, Legos can be used and reused by people of all ages and can be reconstructed into different shapes.

And man i wish i worked for Lego and got one of those golden bricks did you hear about that?

I didn't hear about that.

That's crazy.

I think it's cool that they care about the people that have invested time into their company.

Lego is dope.

They are infiltrating everything.

Movies, amusement parts, living room floors.

Also it's cool how they partnered with whoever owns the rights to batman.

Seems like a legit company but its weird that Rotten tomatoes gives certain movies such high ratings while other historical informative movies get a low rating.

Like I understand that it's boring, but damn.

I think its crazy how all of these large companies or websites started.

Take Rotten Tomatoes, I remember it from high school it was in its infancy and to think it was created by 3 undergrad college kids.

The concept is so simple but so great.

I know as a young adult I didn't want to have to rely on the older critics for movie reviews to decide if I wanted to see a movie, but like you said with Spykids getting a higher rating the the almighty Batman i'm not so sure about all the scores on this website either lol.

Oh.

That makes sense.

If it was us rating the movie at a young age, then it would get a higher rating than the Abraham Lincoln movie.

Makes sense.

Because of the internet, anyone is allowed to place their opinion on certain subjects.

Democracy.

Speaking of Batman, he is my favorite superhero!!

He appeared in the 27 Detective Comics in 1939.

What is so great about Batman is that he doesn't have powers, but is brute strength and genius intellect.

They have come a long way.

They've created tons of DC movies.

So is Batman is the same universe as Aquaman?

Like how everyone in Marvel is now in one movie... is that the same thing?

I wonder if there is a connection with Lego and Batman.

I know that Marvel doesn't own spiderman and has to lease the rights in order to make the movie.... there are so many different spidermans.

I'm not sure if they are in the same universe all of that is so convoluted.

I actually didn't get into the comics like that but I do know DC is trying to create the same type of universe as Marvel but its not quite working out.

Batman had a hilarious villain though he had one called condiment king and he was defeated by slipping on his own ketchup.

True.

I know that Marvel is owned by Disney so they have their stuff together.

Yeah, I kind of feel bad for DC comics but If they stick with it hopefully they can build a strong team.

That's hilarious.

And really weird and creative and I honestly would love to see that made into a movie.

Especially because I feel like my generation is into weird stuff.

I take it you are a millennial  I remember growing up with all of the cartoons in the morning on Saturdays and in the afternoons after school so there is definitely a market for batman and I'm still going back to the rating on rotten tomato for the movie I cannot believe that it wasn't like an A rating.

Adam West even has a batman logo on one of his molars how awesome is that?

I am.

Same.

I always check rotten tomatoes and if its a splat then I'm not wasting my time.

Sometimes I read stuff by critics and I'm like... youre the worst.

Also in film school everyone says the same crap and its annoying.

Yes Bugs Bunny is the best.

I remember watching the one where they're like... children bunnies..

I don't know.

Thats crazy dedication to Adam west!

Have you seen the one with Ben Affleck?

No, I refuse to watch it I'm on some weird strike.

hahahaha  I need to see it just so I can have an intelligent argument.

I really like the Christian Bale I thought he was a great Batman but from what i hear Ben Affleck was a great Bruce Wayne.

I cannot wait to see the new joker by Joaquin Phoenix i want to see if the saying holds true that face to face batman and joker never mention each other by name.

hahaha.

I totally understand.

TBH I don't remember anything special about it.

I also don't remember the plot which is crazy because.... shouldn't they all have the same plot.

Yeah I only remember Bain because I highkey love Tom Hardy.

Terrible, I know.

Oh wow Joaquin should be bomb.

He's a great actor.

I wonder if there is a significance to them not calling each other by name.

I wonder if the Lego Batman movie got a good Rotten Tomatoes rating.

I bet you it did.

I hope I create something one day as successful as the three undergraduate students.

Are they all asian?

Of course.

I'm only part asian so... not looking great.

Yes I wish I came up with something like that as well.

Were you aware that Weird al yankovic did some voiceover work on the most recent animated batman vs robin

Sure did.

From Factual sectional 3.

Before that, I did not.

Do you think he started as a voice actor then became famous after or vice versa?

You know it wouldn't surprise me if that was the way it happened with the different songs he comes up with.

He surely is animated.

haha... it's too late.

I like that Lego is trying to do away with plastic.

Like how Batman tries to do away with crime.

Wow, I am really reaching now.

Yes, doing away with plastic is a great strategy for Lego to remain relevant and reduce their impact on the earth.

That is all the rage these days lol.

Sure is!
Save the Planet!


I love reading rotten tomatoes.

Especially since they tell it like it is for Michael bay's movies.

I know!

I tust Rotten Tomatoes as well, usually they give accurate reviews specially with Netflix movies.

Did you know it was owned by Warner Bros?

That is surprising since they no doubt have some movies with poor reviews on it.

I didnt know that!

and I guess its unbiased, that tells you a lot about the service.

I guess they can't control what people have to say.

No video game based movie has ever gotten about 44% Mortal Kombat was pretty good I'd give it a much higher rating.

I guess some people dont like the franchise, I love to play Mortal Kombat games but I am more of a Batman fan.

I like batman too.

Did you know Weird Al did some voice work in batman vs robin?

I didnt know that, I think the most amazing aspect of Batman is that he doesnt have superpowers.

Yes, he's just smarter then all the bad guys.

It also doesn't hurt that he is rich and has the money to develop all kinds of technology.

Yeah, I agree, not everything is powers and Alfred is a badass as well.

Robin is underrated too.
I wish there were more Robin Lego sets.

I know, I wish that too so you are a Lego fan?

Yes!

I love lego even though my last set came with a defective piece.

The odds are so slim since only 18 out of every million are defective.

That are some crazy odds, did you file a complaint?

I think its great how lego is ditching their oil based plastics and seeking environemental friendly options.

No I didn't complain.

It's the first time it's happened.

I have some of my parents old lego and the pieces from 1958 still fit with todays!

I am glad they are switching the plastic finally.

Did you hear about the german graffitti artist that made a bridge look like it was made out of legos?

I saw pictures of it.
It would have been neat to see.
250 Square meters!
That's massive.

Yeah I know, I wonder if they painted over this artwork, I think it would be great just to leave it there.

What a shame.

When we are done talking I think I'll go play a star wars lego game.

I havent played that game, I might buy it I liked the Lego Batman game.

You should go get it now.
I'm off to play.
Bye!

Bye, have a nice day


Do you think Rotten Tomatoes is a good site for reviews

I don't know.

I tend to shy away from reviews.

Although Netflix has almost 150 reviews on there with a 100 percent rating.

Can a movie get a 100% rating I can only think of one or two, the company is owned by Warner Bros

If it was myself doing the ratings, I would be hard to give any movie a 100 percent review.

Nothing in the world is 100 perfect except maybe our kids.

lol  Spykids received a 93 percent on there.

I thought Spykids was a great movie, but 93% seems really excesive lol

Yes!

No video game on there has ever achieved higher than a 44% rating.

Do you like Legos?

did you ever play with them as a child or even later?

I did!

I think that's like a rite of passage for all children to play with Legos.

There are so many Legos that if they were divided out to every person on earth, each person would own 86 lego bricks!

86 bricks per person no kidding!

its a good thing the company is replacing their oil-based plastics and searching for a friendlier alternative to the environment

Yes!

I agree.

As of July 2015 600 billion Lego parts had been produced.

That's a lot of plastic!

A lot of plastic and a big impact to the environment, did you hear about that graffiti artist, the one that painted a Lego bridge?

I didn't until you just told me!

Lego replaced Ferrari as the worlds most powerful brand in 2015.

I guess every kid likes to play with Legos, do you like Batman?

he is my favorite hero

I do!

Hard to believe he originally appeared in a comic book in 1939!

Yeah it was DC comics #27 comic book, the Dark Knight what a great name and story, a hero without powers

Yes!

Batman's Gotham City is located in New Jersey according to DC Canon.

That manor must be worth a lot of money then lol, there was a villain named Condiment King, funny how he was defeated

lol Did he slip on his own ketchup by any chance?

Yeah he did lol, thats how he was defeated,

Funny stuff!

Did you know that Adam West has a batman logo on one of his molars?

I bet the Joker laughed at the Condiment King, and no I didnt know that about Adam West


Hey!

Did you see Wonder Woman when it came out (or since then)?

I have not seen the new WW movie.
Have you?

I did see it.

I'm not a big fan of superhero movies in general but I wanted to support movies with female superhero leads

Yeah, that is a good idea.

i figure that women heroes need to be more visible.

i usually dont watch those movies because the explosions and battle scenes get dull.

That's exactly how I felt when I watched it.

And of course the compulsory heteroromantic subplot felt so unoriginal

well, it is showbusiness.

the producers want to make money and they go with the safe bets.

younger audiences are probably more open to new plot lines.

Yeah.

I hear the new Captain Marvel has no love story, which makes me more likely to see it, honestly.

Yeah, i prefer something other than simple love stories, especially in super hero films.

I'd also like to see older superheroes; I don't mean like Robert Downey Jr., but more like Denzel Washington who at least has grey in his hair.

Yeah, the genre has the potential to appeal to wide audiences if the stories and stars have enough variety.

Although I'll never get tired of Leo DiCaprio in anything.

Hopefully he'll be in the Twilight Zone movie he's producing

Is he?
i did not know that.
he is a gifted actor.
i enjoy his work immensely.

I feel the same way.

I'm glad he finally won an Oscar.

Before that, his only major award was a Golden Globe from 2004

He has been overlooked for too long, but many other big names get the cold shoulder from hollywood.

too political.

Yeah, that's probably true.

Also, he apparently was hanging onto Marlon Brando's Oscar award and Picasso painting that he had to surrender to the US govt.

Maybe he was blacklisted from receiving awards over that?

lol

That is odd.

i think that some people end up on a black list, like richard gere.

What happened with him?

Was it the hamster thing, the Buddhist thing, or something else?

Yeah, he made a comment about Tibet and the Dalai Lama or something.

that is a big no no.

he will never be back.

Was that after 9/11 when he said everyone should forgive and forget or was this something more recent?

I vaguely recall something recently happening

I dont remember.

hollywood has a political line and stars have to stick to it.

anyway, great chat!

yeah, I guess there's pressure to be liberal/progressive.

Nice chat as well :)


Hi there, do you enjoy watching movies?

I do like watching movies.

I saw Wonder Woman recently, did you see it?

What did you think

I loved it and looking forward to the sequel.

Seems Gadot was a real fighter, she was in Israeli defense forces

Yeah I could see that.

She did a good job with acting like she was a soldier and such.

It's funny that when she auditioned, she thought she was auditioning for Catwoman, that's a completely different role

Hahah go figure.

Do you know what the role of wonder woman was when the character first appeared?

No I don't know?

Can you tell me?.

What do you think about World War 1 movies?

I don't think they make enough, and  the Wonder Woman movie is apparently the highest grossing one

Well they made her the secretary, how cliche.

And yeah now it is one of the highest grossing movies

Yep that's true.

And yeah, making her the secretary would definitely not fly today haha.

What do you think about Leonardo DiCaprio by the way?

I really liked him in Titanic

I like him he is a good actor.

He is apparently producing a Twilight zone movie

That is interesting I didn't know that.

I hope that movie is good.

Have you ever seen the sitcom Growing Pains?

Apparently Brad Pitt Matthew Perry and also Leonardo DiCaprio were in it at some point

Oh no I have not seen that one.

Despite his great work, he has only won one Golden Globe in his life

Yeah that is crazy.

He's actually a good actor in my opinion, have you seen the movie the Revenant?

I didn't know that it was a remake of a 1971 movie

Yeah it was actually a remake of the movie Man in the Wilderness.

I liked it a lot

Yep you're right.

It was definitely an interesting movie.

Have you ever seen the movie The Basketball Diaries?

I heard it was good, but it definitely helped launch his career apparently

I have not seen that one actually, maybe I should check it out.

How about Denzel Washington, what do you think of him?

Yeah he seems like a pretty good guy.

I know that he played this actor"grapes"in the Fruit of the Loom commercials LOL I don't think I've seen those

I have not seen those either, wow.

And he has never done a sequel to any of his movies it seems

That is interesting.

And his family is really talented by the way too.

His son plays for the St Louis Rams.

What a family

Niceee, did not know that.

And the guy refused to pay to get a star in the hollywood walk of fame

That is pretty funny.

It must be out of principle because they definitely have the money, only $30,000, I guess they just don't want to support it perhaps?

What do you think

I honestly like their stand on this.

THey have made great careers why would they need a star.

Nice chatting with you.


Did you know that the Library of Congress has a National Book Festival?

Do you think they have comic books there like Wonder Woman?

No I didn't know that.

Brad Meltzer is a great author though, he has some work at the Congress National Book Festival such as history decoded

One book I really liked reading was Body of Lies by David Ignatius.

I saw the movie made about it, too.

Did you?

I saw the movie.

It has Leonardo DiCaprio I think it was directed by Ridley Scott.

I actually liked that movie a lot.

did you see the movie Wonder Woman by the way

Yes!

Wonder Woman was a great movie.

I liked the graphics in it and the actress herself was great.

She must have used stunt doubles, though?

No I don't think so.

She was actually in the Israeli Army so it wouldn't surprise me if she did all of her own stunts

She's even cooler than I thought!

I heard that when she auditioned she thought it was for Cat Woman instead of Wonder Woman!

That's crazy because those are entirely different rolls!

Amazing that Wonder Woman is the highest grossing superhero movie and also the highest grossing World War 1 movie!

Did you know that Wonder Woman started out in the group of the Justice Society as a lowly secretary?

I think that came out back in 1941 right?

Oh wow how the times have changed that would not fly today

I wonder if she was their first secretary?

Also, if Wonder Woman is an Amazon, how can her fingers fit on a normal typewriter?

That is a great question!

What was interesting to me to was that in 2017 there were a lot of female lead movies, they were the top three highest grossing movies for that year

That is very interesting!

I like how Wonder Woman has a bunch of powers that let her fight almost like a Mortal Kombat character.

That is really crazy!

speaking of actors and actresses, what do you think about Leonardo DiCaprio?

hes in some of my favorite movies like The Departed

Yeah, Leo is great.

I hear he was in that sitcom called Growing Pains but I didn't catch it.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape was a good one he was in, too.

Yes I like both those movies.

I also like the movie Blood Diamond.

Did you know that you was in an 80s sitcom back in the day?

Do you think Leo or Denzel Washington have won more awards?

He was good in the movie Training Day.

Did you catch that one?

I did see that one.

I bet that Denzel  actually won more Awards, I guess he used to play the character grapes in Fruit of the Loom commercials which is funny to think about now

I guess it was a good move for Denzel.

You gotta start out small, but it is surprising to know he started out like any kid in a school play as a little cute fruit!

LOL you're right!, it's impressive that Denzels son actually plays for the st. Louis Rams, talk about a talented family

Very talented!

Enough to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Too bad Denzel doesn't pay for his, though.

Snoop Dogg also has a football playing son.


Have you seen the latest Wonder Woman (2017) movie?

Not yet but I've heard Wonder Woman was one of the best DCEU movies released

I heard it was good too.

I guess it was directed by a woman named Patty Jenkins from a screen play by Allan Heinberg.

Yea it's interesting Wonder Woman is set during WWI, most movies avoid that time period

True.

I guess Gal Gadot did a great job.

Makes sense, she knows war having served in IDF for two years.

Yea, it's interesting that Wonder Woman is they highest grossing WWI movie in box office history

WW I and Wonder Woman first appeared in 1941 the beginning of WW II for America?

Wonder why?

Wonder Woman also appeared as a member of Justice Society in 1941 too

Do you like Leonardo DiCaprio?

He got his start in the 1980's sitcom Growing Pains...

Yea, Leo is a great actor, I never knew his film debut was in Critters 3

I didn't either.

The work is that he's producing a Twilight Zone movie.

Hopefully it's pretty scary.

sounds like it will be good if Leo is in the new Twlight Zone movie

I always like the TZ.

Did you see the movie The Revenant?

It was a 1971 film of wilderness survival.

Leo did a great job.

The Revenant was pretty good, glad Leo won an Oscar for it

How about Denzel Washington?

Funny that he has never done a sequel to one of his movies.

Yea Denzel is another amazing actor, funny that he used to do Fruit of the Loom commercials

Yeah.

Have you ever heard of the Library of Congress' National Book Festival?

I guess they celebrate books such as "The Inner Circle", "The Switch" and even comic books like "Spinning" (graphic novel).

Very little, I know Brad Meltzer wrote "The Inner Circle"

The festival has all kinds of books including fantasy novels.

Another that became a movie is "The Bone Collector".

It sounds interesting.

Yea, I heard they covered the book turned movie " Body of Lies"

I haven't heard of that one.
Well, thanks for the chat!


Good morning!

Have you heard of Stan Lee?

Did you know that he did cameos in all of the Marvel movies?

I have!
He was such a good writer!
I love looking for him in his films!

I do too and I agree, he was a good writer.

Sometimes he even speaks, like in Captain America, the Winter Soldier.

I didn't know that!
What else was he in?

My favorites are the Iron Man appearances.

It seems like he had fun with those because in one Tony Stark thinks he's Hugh Hefner and in another he thinks he's Larry King!

That is so cool!

I'll have to look those up!

I think I remember something about spiderman getting married.

Do you?

No I don't.

Did he get married in one of the movies?

I think so.

The original spiderman got married to mary jane.

1987 i think?

They did a whole public thing for it if I remember right.

Well that's good.

I use to be a fan of Spider Man back in the day and him marrying her is good!

Oh!

That makes me think of Stan Lee's cameo in one of the movies.

He's standing on a street with Peter Parker and tells him that one man can make a difference!

How cool is that?

That is very cool!

I liked Stan Lee.

I think the first spiderman made Stan Lee something like 800 million in revenue, but he didn't get any of it!

That's so unfair!

He created something important.

I mean, the military is even trying to achieve spider man like abilities.

Wouldn't that be something to see!

Have you seen Thor?

I tried to watch it but had a hard time following it.

I have see Thor and I really liked it.

I was impressed with the cast, especially that Anthony Hopkins was in it.

What?

I guess I didn't watch it long enough for that!

Tom hiddleston tried out for Thor, instead he got Loki.

I've heard that before.

I heard he had to put on 50 pounds of muscle too.

I can't even imagine working that hard for a role and not getting it!

I did watch Ironman all the way thru.

How bout you?

I not only watched all the way through but watched all Iron Man movies.

I thought Robert Downy Jr. did an outstanding job!

I thought so too!

I did think he was a little too skinny for the role though!

He is so small!

Genyth Paltrow was amazing too.

What was her name in it?

Apple or something?

I didn't notice.

I don't remember her name but she did do good.

The whole Iron Man story is so cool.

A super rich guy that is intelligent and builds things and becomes a hero?

And he does it for everyone else too!

I can't believe the first iron man came out almost 11 years ago!

I know!

It seems like it was just a few months ago!

I did sort of hate to see Jeff Bridges as the bad guy.


I was sad to see Stan Lee passed away.

The Marvel movies just won't feel right without his cameos.

I know the feeling, it wont be same without him, one of my favorites is the one in The Winter Soldier, so funny!

I think my all-time favorite was his Amazing Spider-Man appearance, where he was wearing the headphones as everything explodes behind him

That was a good one as well, or the one when he drink a cup of a drink and has Hulks blood in it.

That one is such a visceral memory for me, because he makes such a memorable sound when he tastes the kick to his bottle.

He really knew how to set up the brand!

He sure did, my favorite hero is Iron Man I loved it ever since 2008 I think Robert Downey Jr is a great actor.

Oh yes, the Iron Man movies really launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe into what it is today.

My personal favorite in the films is Thor I think.

Thor is a great character as well, did you know 80% of the dialogue in Thor Ragnarok was improvised?

That's incredible, because I completely love how it turned out.

I just learned that Tom Hiddleston who plays Loki was originally screen testing to play Thor, but I think Chris Hemsworth really nailed the character.

He did and Tom Hiddleston really nailed the Loki character as well, I think Loki stole the movie and the protagonism.

He really did, which is so true to the comics.

The first Thor by Kenneth Branagh just didn't use the support characters enough.

Thor was never meant to be only about Thor, but his whole team of characters.

I haven't seen those, but yeah, it's too bad Spider-Man movies haven't had a continuity but they keep on pulling new actors for the roll.

Marvel has always had a lot wrapped up in the Spider-Man character as their flagship for their younger audience.

I'm not surprised their movies are all over the place too.

Did you know the military is trying to emulate Spidermans abilities for their soldiers?

No that's crazy.

That sounds like another Marvel gimmick honestly.

They created a whole stunt wedding with actors when they married off the character in the 80s.

Could be, sounds really difficult to alter humans to have similar abilities as Spiderman, it can be really dangerous, and I didnt hear about the 80s stunt, can you tell me a bit more?

Just that they pretended to marry Peter Parker off to Mary Jane in the real world and let Stan Lee officiate.

There he is again, knowing just how to create a wild brand stunt.

Oh I see, interesting, and yeah, I see your point that definitely sells movies or at least creates interest in them.

The fact that he was so well-known and considered a comic legend just shows how effective he was at those spots.

Before Iron Man was released in 2008, many people didn't even realize comics were still being published.

I can imagine after all the whole Marvel franchise is live because of him and will keep on living long after his death.

He really gave them the right boost to start!


Hello, do you like superhero movies?

Yes I watch super hero movies all the time

Nice.
Have you seen Spider-Man, any of them

Yes I've seen the first Spider-man movie in 2002 where Stan Lee made a cameo where he saved a little girl when a building exploded.

Nice.

Did you know the US military is trying to replicate the abilities of Spiderman?

I never knew that.

Are they going to have soldiers bitten by radioactive spiders to give them super abilities?

I guess we will have to wait and see how that whole plan that they seem to have develops

Have you watched any of the Thor movies?

I have actually, the 2011 one.

Did you know antman made the debut in Thor?

Wow I never knew that antman was in the Thor movie.

I do remember that Ildris Elba played one of the gods in it and a bunch of white supremacists were upset a black man played the part.

Yeah apparently Antman was in other superhero movies like Spider-man, Hulk and Iron-man.

Did antman play in the first Ironman movie?

The same movie that Jeff Bridges was in?

I am not sure even which one he played in, I must not have been paying attention.

Did you know Tom Hidleston originally auditioned for the role of Thor and not Loki

That's amazing.

I never knew that.

I don't think he was good for that part.

I recall that the Odin's ravens from the Thor movie was in the Avengers movie when Thor and Loki were arguing on the mountain top.

Yeah and he even went on to gain 50 pounds of muscle to make sure that he is set for the role of Thor

Stan Lee made a cameo in Thor: The Dark World.

He was trying to get into a party if I recall.

The man was a legend for sure.

He got 10% of all profits on his characters

Yeah he did lots of tours around the country going to comic conventions.

He died recently at the age of 95.

Yeah, he had a great career.

Do you know who performed the opening of spider-man back in 1990?

Spider-man in 1990?

That is a bit before my time.

Was it made by the same studio that makes them now?

I do know that in the mid 90s James Cameron was supposed to make a Spider-man film with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Leonardo Dicaprio.

It got cancelled though.

Maybe I am not sure but the singer was Joe Perry, lead guitarist of Aerosmith.

It was nice chatting with you :)


Hi, how are you?

Good and you?

What do you think of Spider man?

I've heard the first movie made over 800 million dollars.

I am well.
I like spider man.
I also like the X-men.
Do you?

I do like X-men.

Spider man is actually becoming kind of realistic in a way.

The u.s. military is attempting to copy some of his abilities.

The red and blue suit would be weird on the Seals though...

I would draw the line there.

i would too!

I think I would rather wear an Iron Man suit, or exoskeleton as it's called.

Or have telekinetic powers like some other characters.

That could be great too.

It could be good to have the weapons they have like Thor's hammer or the Infinity Gauntlet.

I would like Captain America's power and just have the ripped body and super strength.

Not too assuming but bad a$$.

That would be nice.

In real life I guess people don't look like that.

The guy that played Loki in Thor had to gain 50 pounds of muscle.

Really?
He seemed so slight in the movie.
How much did he weigh before?

I don't know and I agree with you.

He did look thin.

I guess  maybe Chris Hemsworth, Thor in the movie, was really big in comparison.

Stan lee gets 10% of all net profits based on his characters?

He died a rich man!

I imagine that he did at that!

His movies are hugely popular, so much so that the best of actors work in them.

Look at Anthony Hopkins acting in Thor!

did you know that Dr Octopus swapped consciousness with spiderman?

I never knew that!

I wonder what happened to Spiderman by doing it.

Not sure.

But it is Dr Oc in the superior spider man series.

Weird...

That is weird.

Maybe the writers left it for Spider man to become a bad guy.

Stan Lee probably had something in mind.

I always liked him.

I especially liked that he had cameo roles in all of his movies.

I always go into the movies looking for him.

Always fun to see where they put him.

I think one of my favorites was when he worked as a fedex guy delivering a package for tony Stank in iron man.

That was good.
Nice chatting with you!


Hi are you a fan of Harry Potter?

I am aware of HP.
I know JK Rowling is the author.

Nice.

Stephen Fry read all 7 Harry Potter audio books for the UK editions.

I don't know who he is.

I have not listened to the books, so I don't either.

Hard to believe Rowling was turned down by 122 publishers.

That's incredible!

Harry Potter was born on July 31st, 1980 and the entire series takes place throughout the 90s.

I didn't know that.

I am surprised to hear this too.

It was the most banned book so far in the 21st Century.

Wow!

Harry Potter books were translated from British to American English.

No wonder it has become so popular in the US.

The books have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide.

That's incredible!

Robin Williams wanted to play Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies, but was turned down because J.K. Rowling and director Chris Columbus only wanted British and Irish actors.

Oh, I've never heard that.

That is pretty surprising.

Almost as surprising as Rowling being the first billionaire to fall off the Forbes billionaire list because of charitable giving.

Wow.

I would say kudos to her for doing that.

J.K. Rowling was asked to use her initials instead of her full name because her publishers were worried that boys wouldn't want to read a book written by a woman.

That sounds so absurd to me.

I feel the same way.

That is absurd that she was asked to do that.

I've been to Universal and seen a bit of the HP attraction.

Rowling can go there and tell them to change anything incorrect.

That's interesting!
Do you like snakes at all?
I'm afraid I don't like them.
lol

No way!

They are creepy!

I guess I'd have to move to New Zealand to get away from them as there's no snakes there.

I'll be joining you!

Crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to snakes and lizards.

Odd fact.

google bought youtube for 1.65 billion

Interesting.

There is a genus of flying snakes that can launch themselves at prey.

Yikes!

Well I hope they don't live around me!

It's funny that there are lizards without but they're not snakes.

I will pass on those as well.
lol  it's been fun chatting!

Thank you!
It's been nice chatting with you too.

Have a great night!
