You're missing the point. People collect film cells.

That was the joke.


I still need to work hard on my delivery of humor.

 

[Reek]

you have humor?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

No I don't, humor should be outlawed.

 

[squeekness]

Or at least humor should have its own font or color so it would be more obvious.

I have one from SW:TPM.....when it was first released on tape, there was a special boxed edition that had the movie, a film cell, and a book about the making of the movie.

I've got an IMAX film cell from Interstellar. It's this shot in 15/70:

An image that sums up the best of humanity and the beautiful game. A wheelchair bound Egyptian fan wanted to see his country walk out for their game at a fan park but obviously couldn't, so Colombian and Mexican fan s lifted him up.

 

[squeekness]

Wonderful.

I just read online that a person can get high from nutmeg. Imagine an alternate version of Breaking Bad where Walt is just grating whole nutmegs rather than making meth.

That doesnt seem nearly as rewarding as ground beef and cheese on Doritos.

Happy Father's day to all you dads out there. I hope you all had/have a good day and get fat n happy.

 

[squeekness]

My husband got Steam cards.

 

[Reek]

I had no idea what to get my dad... Asked the step mom what he needed... "hes always carrying tools and stuff out to the driveway..."

I bought him a wagon and he was ecstatic

Quick question for people: When you read a book or enjoy any other form of media and there's characters names that are puns, anyone find them annoying?

I'm asking because in my writing I have a bit character that's named Manish who is a telepath. Manish means 'God of the Mind'. I found that out by accident and figured that most people wouldn't know that and the few that did would find it funny.

I didn't know that and I doubt many would. I don't really consider that a pun, more a second meaning which happens to be relevant to the character, and in that context I like it. A pun is usually intended as a cheesy joke/double-meaning play on a word like Reek being called Reek not only because that's his name but also because he stinks of DJ's farts. Cheesy (no pun intended)

If anything it might be a spoiler, like Professor Lupin in Harry Potter. How could he NOT be a werewolf?

My youngest brother ensured that I hate puns for quite a while, I'm still in that duration.


If I ever choose to write a story, I will never use that name.

Lupin is also the name of a flower.

It can be annoying, if it's painfully obvious yet acted like it was subtle.

I think the Manish thing would go over most people's heads, so I think you're in the clear.

all work and no lounge makes reek a dull boy

I ordered spinach and chicken, got spinach and cheese pastry instead. Sad thing is the hassle of changing it is not worth it.
