I love browsing fake convenience store products
screenshot inside a small general store looking at a row of cereals and sugary snacks. including Mr X cereal featuring a man who looks like Mr T, and “big dings” dessert which looks like hostess ding dongs by the freezer of the store which holds frozen pizzas. there’s also a rack of postcards.

a man says “I'm just a plumber! What do I know about human anatomy? People aren't toilets.” my Speech level is high enough to respond: “I believe in you. The human body is the greatest toilet of all, and it needs a plumber. I've already got an automech on staff. Why not a plumber?” the plumber says “Why, this is the greatest day of my life! The human gut is the most compact and efficient sewer system ever. A plumber's dream! My dream...”

wat
In order to comply with South Korean law, the English-language version released there was significantly redubbed to remove all references to Japan and Japanese culture, including replacing every instance of the word "ninja". This alternate soundtrack can be played alongside the film and accessed via the Set-Up menu. In addition, the film was retitled Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and one shot replaced in Splinter's flashback, as seen here. Ironically, this version was the one that was distributed on VHS and laserdisc in Japan. the logo that says Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles

still appreciating that I can roleplay as a sick person
Niles says “I have good days and bad, pain-wise. Today's... the latter.” my character’s Sickly trait lets me respond with “Say no more. I'm no stranger to a flare-up myself.” the other response choices are “I had no idea.” “Anything I can do to help?” “You shouldn't have kept this from me. I need to know how my team members are doing.”

the first TMNT movie on a now playing stand. now I switched it to the reverse side of the cover art, which is simply the original movie poster.

I’m holding the new UHD box set of the ninja turtles trilogy by arrow. the cover art shows the four turtles in the style of the original comic looking menacing. my dog milo is sniffing the box. the contents of the box set arranged on a black countertop. the three movies are each in a case with comic style cover art. under the cases is part of the original movie poster, folded such that you can see the four turtles coming out of the sewer grate. there is also a booklet whose cover depicts the menu for roy’s pizza.

I thought I remembered orson welles’ famous entrance, but somehow I didn’t remember that there’s a cat playing with his feet?
images from The Third Man. here a closeup of a cat sitting by a man’s shoe looking up. another closeup of the cat next to the black dress shoe, and the cat is playing with the shoe laces. a wider shot where you can see that there’s a man standing in a doorway, but he’s clocked in shadow except for his feet and the cat sitting there. the subtitles say “Cat got your tongue?” a closer shot where we see the man’s legs. in between the legs, the cat is licking its paw.

this is how I want to be eulogized
a scene from The Third Man. a woman at a desk says “He was quite dead.” a man off screen replies “He was... Oh, yeah. He was quite dead.” a shot in the adjacent room where the man continues saying to another man, “He was quite dead.”

my old dog milo sleeping in the human bed. his head is on a pillow, he’s surrounded by blankets, and his feet are curled up looking cozy.
