Yesterday was a distant memory...

[rogueslayer452]

Since I didn't reply to every single person I want to thank everyone for their wishes of congratulations on my last post. ♥ There was certainly some celebrating and partying afterward of course, but the entire event was fun and worth it.

There's much to report about what's been happening with me aside from that over the last week and what's coming up for me in the near future, but that'll be for a later date. I haven't really updated much regarding my fandoms, and I know I've been neglecting certain fandoms with all my Supernatural and Misha Collins squee, which I'm not ashamed or apologizing for of course, but I should mix things up a bit in the midst of all that squeeing.

With that, I've been going on a trip to Nostalgia Lane lately.

Rewatched some BtVS/AtS episodes, only the ones that featured my homegirl Faith, naturally. Fell in love all over again, not that I lost that love but it's nice to get a reminder of why she's so awesome, y'know? And of course while S4 of Angel wasn't the greatest by any means, just seeing the characters again was great too. I went on YouTube and after searching found pieces of my childhood on there. For example, I wanted to see if anyone uploaded some My Little Pony episodes and, lo and behold, there they were! I ended up rewatching My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle which was the very first MLP special ever, and it brought back so many memories! I used to rewatch that over and over again growing up. Funny thing though, it was a lot shorter than how I remembered it. I even found the New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh episode "Cleanliness Is Next To Nothing" With Crud. Yes, Crud, which I gotta say....THAT SHIT SCARED THE FUCK OUTTA ME WHEN I WAS LITTLE! I WILL NOT TRY DENYING IT! I was so scared that I was so fearful of under my bed for a long time as a kid. I really did think Crud was waiting so he could drag me under the bed forever. Seriously, no joke.

Then there's the Cannon Film version of Hansel and Gretel, rewatching some old Goosebump episodes, Gremlins, The Secret of NIMH...

Let's be honest, we had some dark shit growing up. Nothing like how PC many cartoons and children's movies are today. They seriously don't make them like they used to. This is why when I have kids you better believe I'm gonna brainwash them with my childhood.

CONGRATS AGAIN!

OMG I wish Are You Afraid of the Dark would hurry up and come out on DVD. I miss it lol.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

THANKS AGAIN! :D

I know, right? Though if I wanted to I could buy the already existing AYAOTD DVDs, since I have a multi-region DVD player and all.... ;)

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

lol, I saw goosebumps on DVD and I was like WHERE IS ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? And the movie was good to.

OMG remember that TV show that was about real ghost stories? I can't remember what it was called, but they had reenactments of what happened to that person and the stories about their hauntings.

I totes need Goosebumps on DVD! That was the awesome shit back in the day, for real. I would wake up every weekend morning just to catch that (among other things of course, remember Gargoyles?) The AYAOTD televised movie was awesome, I liked how it was spooky scary and well thought out plot wise. Very clever ending, too.

I can't recall what you're referring to, sorry bb. I'm trying to think but I honestly can't remember what that is....

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

I know, one of my favorite episodes was the mask one(the mask that wouldn't come off). I loved the books to, I don't think I have them anymore though lol. One of my favorite goosebumps books was the one that you got to choose the path the story went(like at the bottom you had a few choices and it would tell you what page to turn to).

OMG GARGOYLES! Whatever happened to it?

Oh, it was really good. In one of the episodes they showed the story of a guy who haunted a toys r us.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

I think I remember those books with the "choose your own path" stuff! Oh man, that was awesome. Wasn't there a book where you open the front cover and it made spooky noises? Loved that. I have so many favorites, the one I watched was the Shocker on Shock Street, Calling All Creeps and Night of the Living Dummy (with Slappy!)

They're making a new Goosebumps featured film now, did you know that?

Gargoyles was the shit, yo. I have no idea, it used to rerun on one of the cartoon networks or something, but that was a long time ago. I don't know if they do it now.

Hmmm, I don't remember a show like that at all. But it sounds awesome!

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

I love choose your own path books lol. There was a book that made spooky noises when you opened it? I never got that one, but it sounds cool.

They are? Yay, we need a goosebumps movie!

Yeah, Gargoyles was awesome. So was Doug! Remember the episode where weekends were taken away?

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Yep, they are. I'm wondering what will happen in it, if it's going to be a compiled version of all the Goosebumps or something else entirely, and who will be starring in it (I would rather have unknown names, to be honest).

I didn't really watch Doug. Only like a few episodes if there was nothing else on, but that show didn't appeal to me as others did.

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

It'd be kind of weird if they tried to stuff all the books/episodes into one movie. Maybe it'll be like someone reading goosebumps and then realizing the book is coming to life?

I lived on nickelodeon, I even had the nickelodeon phone lol.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

My only issue is that they better not try to PC it as much, by that not making into anything fluffy. The show pretty much set the standard for it being okay for kids but still scary as hell.

I only got into Nickelodeon during the beginning of my adolescent years. I lived off of Disney Channel (before it became bastardized) and PBS. XD

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess we'll have to just wait and see. Hopefully it'll be as good as the show was.

Nickelodeon and the Disney channel have gotten pretty bad. I watched mostly nickelodeon, and some on the disney channel. The disney channel only came in on the cable box, but not anywhere else in the house because the rest of our TV's only had basic cable.

Gargoyles, like Buffy, is a comic now. I have the first volume and the second comes out next month. Four of the stories in the second volume were never released as individual issues before the individual issue line was discontinued. There's also a spinoff called Bad Guys, the collection of which comes out in August (with two stories that were never released individually). The Goliath Chronicles is totally ignored, of course. The comics are Greg Weisman's canonical Season Three.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Wow really? I heard something about comics a while back but never furthered my research on it. Of course I never knew there would be an official expansion of the show. That's pretty cool.

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

It's worth looking into.

You can read all about it at Garg Wiki. There may be spoilers, in addition to a ton of background information. http://gargoyles.dracandros.com/

Thanks.

How come we haven't friended each other yet?
