Event 30 Days of Entertainment

Apparently it's May 10th in parts of the world now, so guess what? Challenge #10 is up too!

 

[Amore]

9. A TV or movie character that deserves their own spin-off? If not deserves, one you'd want anyway.

Well Hobbs and Shaw are apparently getting one from F&F, just hoping they put both Shaws in it. Other than that I was disappointed Marvel's Most Wanted didn't get off the ground. A sort of SHIELD-adjacent Mr. and Mrs. Smith type thing would have worked quite well, maybe not for a full 22 each year but the more common 13 episodes, or 10, could have been fun. I'd also love seeing a spin-off of the computer simulation Grant Ward in SHIELD, provided he doesn't get offed again by the end of the series.

A Chuck prequel with Casey's A-team-type group of spies tearing it up in the 80s/90s whilst being played by the current actors (a la Wet Hot American Summer prequel) would also be pretty cool, whilst adding depth to a beloved character (honestly I just want more of Adam Baldwin's "Casey grunt" no matter what the cost in terms of lack of artistic merit). Doing the same thing with Bonita Friedericy and John Larroquette's characters in the Cold War would also be cool. I guess what I'm saying is I'm a crazy fan of Chuck.

10. A song that reminds you of your childhood? If you didn't have a childhood, we're happy that you are on Pok?Community forums and can have one now instead :]

ABBA Gold. Its actually an album, but it was constantly playing in my mum's car when I was younger. Also anything by S Club 7 or Busted.

 

[Lunar]

9. A TV or movie character that deserves their own spin-off? - Like Juno, I really wanna see Robert's rebellion from the GoT universe and it looks like we're probably gonna get it! Also Luna Lovegood deserves a spinoff series of movies cause she's amazing.

10. A song that reminds you of your childhood? If you didn't have a childhood, we're happy that you are on Pok?Community forums and can have one now instead :] - Gold by Spandau Ballet, I first heard it on holiday when I was quite young and it's reminded me of my childhood ever since.

9. A TV or movie character that deserves their own spin-off? If not deserves, one you'd want anyway.
The Master/Missy from Doctor Who. Would be endlessly funny.

10. A song that reminds you of your childhood?
"Super Trooper" by ABBA. Listened to ABBA endlessly on yearly trips to Ocean City, MD.

 

[TheRose]

9. A TV or movie character that deserves their own spin-off?
Venom

10. A song that reminds you of your childhood?
How You Remind Me by Nickelback

 

[Echidna]

9. A TV or movie character that deserves their own spin-off?
Irisa, from Defiance. That show was good, but she was f a n t a s t i c. What. A. Performance. Stephanie Leonidas is amazing tbh.

10. A song that reminds you of your childhood?
Ugh ok cliche: Hakuna Matata... sorry.
That's kinda cheating so I'll also say Queen's We Will Rock You, that was hella popular in my school and people would just break out in unison during lunch lol (as I'm sure happened pretty much everywhere)

 

[Cool_Porygon]

10. A song that reminds you of your childhood?
All Star - Smash Mouth. Also, the Pokemon theme song.

 

[Lize]

oh boy i'm a tad late

1. A movie that gave you more feels than you could handle?

Spoiler:

The Fault in Our Stars (2014)
At first I didn't think I'd subject myself to this movie, after all the hype in our country because of a scene being filmed over here (a small bench in Amsterdam that has since movie release been in the news several times), but after my mother getting it on DVD and me having a boring day I have (almost unfortunately) subjected myself to it. I didn't know what I was supposed to expect when I went in to the movie because I was already aware of it being about a nasty disease that I wish didn't exist on the planet, but I was a little afraid that the experience would be less because of all the information I had already obtained and all the talk about it in the media for very trivial reasons. Guess this movie knows how to handle it, though. No way could I have survived watching this movie without any tears, and the very first watch definitely left me crying.

2. A song that makes you want to dance?

Spoiler:

Title of the song says it all. We're gonna dance dance~

3. The very best TV show episode you've seen? If you don't play favs, then at least an episode of some show that you found very memorable!

Spoiler:

Person of Interest's Season 4 Finale. Big spoilers in the spoiler.

Spoiler:

You could call it a take on the classical cliche of a creator and its android/AI, but even if so it seems that they've done a pretty good job. Harold, the creator, seems to deeply care about his creation and fights until the end to keep it away from the bad people. The AI fighting along with them, and developing own code based on certain feelings. This "final showdown" scene, with an amazing song (welcome to the machine from pink floyd) that couldn't match any better, definitely left me awestruck by what was and is going on.

4. A movie that made you think.

Spoiler:

Inception (2010)
Before I watched the movie, I have had some interest in the concept of Lucid dreaming and I was generally curious as to how dreaming worked and all that stuff. This movie, being all about entering the dream world and entering a dream world within another dream world, definitely peaked my interest and I just felt like I had to watch it (but also of course because of the casting, I mean, come on). After I've seen the movie (more than once) I was left with theories and I don't think I've ever been reading as much theories as I did with this movie.

5. A song that makes your ears bleed. Or at the very least, one you aren't very fond of.

Spoiler:

Darude Sandstorm, Rebecca black Friday, something 2010 Justin Bieber, take your pick..

6. A sport you really don't understand?

Spoiler:

One that seems weird to me, but probably isn't that weird at all, is probably badminton. I suppose I find it weird because it seems to be actually competitive, although I can only see people doing this just for fun or something. Even then I feel like you might as well play tennis. Please don't hate me on this badminton players...

7. A TV show you've been meaning to watch?

Spoiler:

Banshee (2013)
I was introduced to this show by HBO and my parents who were watching this show. It seemed fairly interesting and it seemed like they picked a pretty good casting for the show.

8. A movie you regret watching? If you have no regrets, then at least a movie that didn't make you feel good at all.

Spoiler:

I had to think pretty hard to find a movie I'd regret, to the point that I just started to think if there's a movie I at least didn't like, but I couldn't come up with one. Until I remembered this one movie...

Rubber (2010)

Probably about the only movie that has made me fall asleep. Not exactly sure what the movie is going for, comedy or something else, but even the comedy seems lacking. All this movie is is just some ridiculous stuff, maybe trying to be funny or something. To me, though, it seems like this movie is nothing but a bad meme. If time was refundable, I'd ask for a refund after watching this (partially). At least I slept well.

9. A TV or movie character that deserves their own spin-off?

Spoiler:

Root / Samantha Groves from Person of Interest. Root regularly seems to go missing in the TV show because of some sort of operation/mission that she has to do. I feel like it'd be great to have a spin-off show following Root on these endeavors. Considering she's such an interesting character, that seemed to have a lot of things to do, I feel like it's very well justified for a spin-off show.

Honorable mentions:
Bobby Singer from Supernatural
Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter

10. A song that reminds you of your childhood?

Spoiler:

Specifically dutch, because I'm dutch and in my childhood everything on TV was dutch. Medabots was probably one of my more favorite TV shows to watch back then (probably second to Winx club). The overly dutch and PG-13 lyrics make me instantly throw back to when I was a 10 year old.

disclaimer: if i spoiled something for you, yell at me so i can emphasize something being a spoiler or something.

 

[Juno]

10. A song that reminds you of your childhood?
What Goes Around Comes Around by Justin Timberlake was my favorite song in grade 7, and it still reminds me of when I'd listen to the FutureSex/LoveSounds album on my giant pink iPod Mini with my friends, one earbud each.

you know i'm old when 7th grade is "childhood" to me..

 

[moon]

Questions 11 and 12 are up!

 

[Cool_Porygon]

11. A sport you wish you were good at?
I don't like to play sports but I will say ice hockey.

12. The album you've probably listened to the most, ever?
Coldplay, A Rush of Blood to the Head.

 

[Lize]

11. A sport you wish you were good at?
...Probably soccer? Already have some experience with it, but it also seems to be the most casual sport to do over here. I'd rather sport for actual fun than to just tire myself out.

12. The album you've probably listened to the most, ever?
According to last.fm:
- Blurryface from Twenty One Pilots
- City Of Evil from Avenged Sevenfold
- Ten from Pearl Jam
- A Flash Flood of Colour (Redux Version) from Enter Shikari
- Waking The Fallen from Avenged Sevenfold

Probably not entirely accurate, but Blurryface and Ten are definitely my favorites.

 

[EC]

11. A sport you wish you were good at? If you really don't wish you did sports, then use your imagination!
Baseball, so I could play it instead of just watching it on TV.

12. The album you've probably listened to the most, ever?
Torches by Foster The People.

 

[Echidna]

11. A sport you wish you were good at?
Soccer. I used to be pretty good until I stopped playing like 7 years ago and I kinda wish I had kept going.
12. The album you've probably listened to the most, ever?
Oh. Uhm...
Probably Fall Out Boy's first album, Take This to Your Grave.

 

[TheRose]

11. A sport you wish you were good at?
Baseball

12. The album you've probably listened to the most, ever?
Room To Breathe by Red Vox

 

[Lunar]

11. A sport you wish you were good at? - Tennis, I really enjoy watching it and I already play football (soccer) loads so I wish I could get proper good at Tennnis.

12. The album you've probably listened to the most, ever? - I used to listen to '+' by Ed Sheeran on repeat back in the day so it's probably that.

 

[Juno]

11. A sport you wish you were good at?
Again, not a sports person so none, really, but if I had to pick one I'll go with skiing! Since I'm Canadian and all, my friends and brothers are always wanting to go skiing, but it's not really something I look forward to a whole lot since I fall down so much, haha.

12. The album you've probably listened to the most, ever?
I listened to music in general the most in high school, and I think Kanye's 808s and Heartbreak was one of my most listened to albums then.

 

[machomuu]

Long post and a hell of a lot of indecision incoming. Just...gonna spoiler all of these.

1. A movie that gave you more feels than you could handle? If you can always handle feels, then a movie that at least gave you lots of them!

Spoiler:

As for most, The Pursuit of Happyness definitely comes pretty close. I suppose this is one of those movies that I don't hear mentioned all too often either because it's 2017 and slightly old movies don't get talked about...? Seems more like I'm just out of the discussion, I guess, but even among Will Smith movies this one generally gets the shaft.

Which is a shame because this movie shoots me through the fucking heart. And I think it's largely because it's Will and his real life kid playing the roles that add that extra dimension. Well, that and the fact that fractured families clinging together are a weakness of mine (or movies about family in general). But the story as a whole does just rips your heart out and puts it right back in without feeling particularly contrived or try hard- which it could've pretty easily. It's one hell of an emotional rollercoaster.

2. A song that makes you want to dance? If you never dance, then at least a song that makes you very happy!

Spoiler:

Happy. Will Pharrell. Yes I know it's 2017 I don't care this song's fun as hell.

Or any fun song really i dunno i just like dancing

3. The very best TV show episode you've seen? If you don't play favs, then at least an episode of some show that you found very memorable!

Spoiler:

The Office. Season 7, Episode 22. Goodbye Micheal.

We all knew it was coming, but damn. Just damn. Especially after the ending of the previous episode. And really the episodes up to that point. It was an emotional climb up to the departure of the character that basically was the heart of The Office. And the office.
And I really don't think that this episode would have had as much punch if they hadn't tied his relationship and his character up into a nice little bow so that it could knock us down when we were at our most vulnerable. Goodbye Micheal Scott, things just aren't the same without ya.

4. A movie that made you think. You know the type, movies that are complex or make interesting points.

Spoiler:

Shutter Island. Even ignoring its twists, I think it makes pretty solid points about what insanity is and what it does to others' perception of you.

There'd be more but I don't really watch as many Psychological Thrillers/Horrors as I should, despite it being a genre I love in just about any medium. Only other one that comes to mind,
though, is Inception, but I dunno that I'd say that one made me think since most things just made sense. Well, it made me think about how weird it was that Juno was in it, but

5. A song that makes your ears bleed. Or at the very least, one you aren't very fond of.

Spoiler:

[] Does it play at TJ Maxx?

6. A sport you really don't understand? If you understand all sports, then at least one that seems really weird to you!

Spoiler:

Kabbadi. Someone please explain because I have absolutely no idea.

7. A TV show you've been meaning to watch? If you're not a procrastinator, then at least a show you think you'd like to watch!

Spoiler:

There's a few of these. I'm pretty far behind on Orange is the New Black, Bill Nye Saves the World is required watching, The Blacklist because Jason Spader's bae, and Gotham because I don't do comic book stuff but I'm being forced to. So probably Person of Interest as a result.

But the next on my to watch list is Supernatural for now. It's pretty long but it's been a hell of a long time since I've watched a live action TV show consistently so I might as well just bite into a big one rather than snuffing out some smaller sails.

8. A movie you regret watching? If you have no regrets, then at least a movie that didn't make you feel good at all.

Spoiler:

Riding on the Adam Sandler train, that one movie where

Uh

You know the one that wasn't named Click? That one.

Spoiler:

Yes, all of them.

9. A TV or movie character that deserves their own spin-off? If not deserves, one you'd want anyway.

Spoiler:

Loki.

I wasn't particularly the biggest fan of him in the Avengers and, in general, comic book movies aren't my thing. That said, if there's one thing I think would just make for an interesting watch, it's watching the somewhat competent as the protagonist of his own series. Because he really is the type of character that gets toyed around with and ragdolled when things aren't going 100% this way, and that's kind of what makes him fun to watch. So if there was a spin-off series or movie based around the guy, I'd be down. Especially if Thor was involved.

Spoiler:

Relevant

10. A song that reminds you of your childhood? If you didn't have a childhood, we're happy that you are on Pok?Community forums and can have one now instead :]

Spoiler:

Oh boy. Now you've opened up a can of worms, and probably the only day where you'll get pretty much anything close to Japanese on here. At the time it was all just cartoons to me anyway, though. And songs, can't just put one on here.

Spoiler:

Fuckin loved this show as a kid. The theme song was catchy as hell, it was a fun adventure about some kids capturing monsters and getting home just in time to do their homework-
that's how 4Kids'd put it anyway. But it was just a good time even if it butchered the source material- I didn't know that at the time.

Spoiler:

[Youtu-

Actually, scratch this, because I can't link just one song from the soundtrack, but 2BA Master. This is PC so I'm sure most of us know this, but whenever I end up listening to a song from it a wave of nostalgia runs over me. Man. And it hits- I mean, apart from the songs being legitimately catchy, I can't think of too many things that put me right back in my old shoes, listening to the CDs on a CD Player. Ugh, just thinking about it gets to me.

And can get talk about that time they thought it was smart to put the line "Make one wrong move and it'll kick your grass" into a kids song? I mean it worked but

Spoiler:

Just gonna leave this outside of the spoiler because I think this kinda sums up why exactly I have things like anime and games on this list. For the people who know me, that's kind of what I am here, and that makes sense since I love anime and I love video games, been into them for most of my life. But I suppose the reason that they can have such a big effect on me isn't really just as simple as me liking them, and it's when I listen to this song from The Sims 1 that everything really comes into view.

I mean, I was a weird kid, I'll admit, but I did some pretty average things growing up. I could name a number of songs that were played a lot when I was a kid (when you don't have much choice over what you listen to you end up getting a lot of Backstreet Boys, Nsync, and Micheal Jackson). But what really sticks with me is the days when my older brother would deal with my dumb shit and let me play with his Sims, or how we'd watch Saturday morning cartoons together (which, by this point, was mostly anime). He was 6 years older than me so he didn't really have to spend nearly as much time with me as he did, but for years that would be how we would communicate mostly.

And I've always really treasured those memories, those experiences. I think that's why, even after our interests went separate ways, I still clung to these things, and why hearing these songs hits me like a fucking rock. The memories are just...really vivid. And it's pretty rare that I'd say that

11. A sport you wish you were good at? If you really don't wish you did sports, then use your imagination!

Spoiler:

Osu.

If we're talking physical sports, Osu.

If we're talking non-technological physical sports, tennis'd probably be a good one, just because it's probably one of the sports that I've had the most fun with. Hell, even table tennis would be nice to be good at. For the most part I'm not particularly into sports, though, so it'd probably be more of a luxury than anything. After all, I'd have to

Y'know

Go outside what even is that

12. The album you've probably listened to the most, ever? If you haven't listened to albums very much, then one you like a lot at least!

Spoiler:

This is where it gets a bit difficult, mainly because I've never really been much of an album person. I've always liked the songs I liked and just kind of gone from there, though I have been trying to get into albums lately...albeit slowly.

Player Select by Starbomb is probably the one I've listened to most currently, albeit not by choice, I blame Apple for this. I don't really regret it, though, since I love the fuck out of Starbomb and Player Select makes for a chill drive to work.

Tenacious D. The album, not the band, but also the band because it's Tenacious D. Listened to this at a younger age than I probably should have but damn if I didn't love it and I've loved it since.

And, in retrospect, a lot more Labyrinth by David Bowie and general (forced) Evanescence than I'd normally admit. Surprisingly little Pearl Jam, though. Probs gonna change that.

Gimme. Rika. Why did you do this to me
