| Brenda: Oh, I could probably still pass for someone in their 40s. And even some of the people around the senior's centre where I play mah jong have asked me how old I am. I don't count sun but then I love nothing more than to sit out in the sun or at least a warm spot. Well, it is a well known fact that drinking and smoking as well as other things do have an affect on the body. Especially age wise. |
| Brenda: I've heard that the Buffy movie wasn't great. I only watched the show in the last season like I said because of Adam. No, I am a Baby Boomer. Born in the last year of that generation. |
Brenda: Libraries used to let you get DVDs from other libraries around us but I don't think so anymore. I would have to check that out. Yeah, it was just there a week a good but the catalogue says no. The Miami Mice one was cute.  Think I remember the Inferior 5 but never had a copy. They did a parody of Wolverine too. That one was weird. |
6ixStringJack: Yeah. Figured that you'd look young for your age. I got that a lot in my youth, but not so much these days. Still built well, but I've probably seen a bit more sun in my youth than I should have and you know I'd be lying if I said some of the other bad decisions I made haven't shown their age over the years. I don't look old for my age and still look younger than most of my friends if we aren't comparing teeth, but nobody's going to be confusing me with a 30-something anymore.  |
| 6ixStringJack: Buffy probably isn't a great movie, but I think you'd probably get something out of it if you liked the show. If nothing else, you'd see the the roots of where the show came from. I'm going to guess that movie Buffy was a lot more rough around the edges and tough from the beginning than TV show buffy was, at least in the beginning. We were 90's GenXers too, right? |
| 6ixStringJack: Do the libraries there let you order from other libraries, so somebody else at another place wanted them, or the library actually got rid of Jessica Jones? That's a bummer. lol at the Miami Vice comics. My old man has given me some pretty weird ones over the years. Got a few issues of a DC parody comic called The Inferior 5, which was a direct dig at the Fantastic 4. |
| Brenda: No worries. Unless I get too far into my own head my age doesn't mean a thing. Thank you very much Jack. I try to be young at heart. Walking is good and seizures are no fun. I deal with enough idiots in real life, don't want to stress myself out here. The looking younger than my age has been happening since I was in my late 20s or early 30s. First time it happened was in a small food court in a strip mall that I used to take my mom to. We were having coffee and maybe something to eat. There was a nice family running the hamburger place and I could the wife looking at me. She called her husband over and told him to ask me how old I was. He said, "Please don't get mad at me but my wife wants to know how old you are?" I was into my early 30s then and I told him, he told his wife. She came over to me and looked at me then said, "No, is not possible. No, no." People can't believe it. |
| Brenda: Think I saw Donald Sutherland in the ads for the movie when it first came out. I had forgotten about him and that does get it a slightly better chance of me attempting to watch it. |
| Brenda: You are right that you can't have a good comic book unless there is a good villain. Course if it is a parody that doesn't matter. I had a couple of the "Miami Mice" comics back in the day. And yes it was built around Miami Vice. Think I even had a t-shirt of it. Couldn't get into the Daredevil movies at all and I did try. Not my thing. |
| Brenda: Oh, I didn't realize that David's character was Jessica Jones. And my library has apparently got rid of the copies they had. They were last week. Nuts! |
| 6ixStringJack: Was staying away from the age thing, but I do have to say that I never would have pegged you for the age you mentioned or anywhere close to it, Brenda. I figured you for not a day older than my youngest babysitter growing up. Young at heart. You keep in shape and on top of your illness and you don't get into needless stressful arguments over what ends up usually amounting to nothing. I bet people tell you you look a lot younger when they have need to look at your ID for something, huh? |
| 6ixStringJack: Would it change your mind if I told you that Donald Sutherland was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie? |
| THG: |
| 6ixStringJack: I was just pointing out that I don't believe you can have a good comic book property that anybody cares about if you don't have a good villain in the story. Most Marvel/DC properties struggle with that these days. Jessica Jones was one of the few that really got it right, even among the pre-Disney Netflix days. I mean, I liked Daredevil, and the character himself as well as the cinematography were top-notch, but Vincent Dinorfrio's Kingpin was by far the worst rendition ever. Michael Clark Duncan did it way better in the Ben Affleck movie. |

| 6ixStringJack: Oh... Killgrave is on Jessica Jones. He doesn't have his own series. Tennant plays the bad guy on Jessica Jones. |
| THG: |
| Brenda: Nah, I still think I will give the Buffy movie a pass. Yeah, Pee Wee Herman just no. |
| Brenda: It only gets worse as you get older. What till you hit 60. I'm the youngest in my mah jong group. But a lot of places I am the old dog in the room. I've gotten used to it. |
| Brenda: Well, the X-Men stuff and Blade were and are good fun for me. I had a slew of X-men comics and I know about the Blade comics but I didn't have any of those. |
