That video is blocked here, but I found one, and I'm already into it. It's second only to BattleBots for me.
I couldn't see the video either. I'm not familiar with BattleBots. Is it similar to ANJ? From what I searched, it is an American robot combat series. The machines are created & able to fight in an arena.

I would have to say The Fifth Element. I like Sci-Fi. Even though it can get scary at times, it's not true to what we've lived on Earth so Sci-Fi movies are easier to handle.
It was just on TV one time. Always liked Bruce Willis as an actor so started watching it. Ended up finding the DVD at a garage sale so I can watch it anytime I want.

VCRs
in Movies & TV
Who remembers using VCRs? & an extended question, who actually remembers having Beta cassette tapes? Stood for Betamax & were smaller than VHS tapes. I remember my family thinking about whether we should get Beta or not. I’m glad we stuck with VHS as Beta didn’t seem to go far. Though it did have a good cult following for some people.
It was a pain though to do. You had to remember to set the recording, make sure the tape was in there, & most importantly, know how much time is on said tape. So many times I didn’t record something because the tape ran out!

The movies were in 1985, 1989, 1990. They starred Michael J. Fox as student Marty McFly & Christopher Lloyd as scientist Doc Brown. I remember when this came out, it was the best thing. Which movie did you like the best? I lean towards the original. Original movies helps the viewer to build up the characters & the storyline.
Interesting tidbit: The rights to the film & their sequels are owned by Robert Zemeckis & Bob Gale. In an interview, they mentioned that there would be no reboot or remake during their lifetimes.

Who has played this? Around here, I have seen several courses. While it’s not that popular, it is gaining in momentum. For those who have never heard of this game, it is also called Frisbee Golf in some areas. The game started when people threw Frisbees at targets. The object is to complete each hole with the least amount of throws.
I have never played it myself; honestly not sure how I would be as I tend to overthrow a Frisbee.

@Shagger Want to update you on the instructions you gave for games. Unfortunately, it didn't work here but I had told some others & they were amazed at this little tip that they never heard of. They said to say Thank You So Much lol

I'm pretty good with getting things done. Only time I don't is when I get intimidated especially if it's the first time I've done something.
Do you have tips to stop yourself from procrastinating? I think of this as Self-Care. When we rest, our bodies & minds get recharged & we are able to handle things a lot better. I unplug often from technology. I’ve actually set timers to make sure I take a break. Too often we are online & look at that ‘one more thing’ & it’s hours later! We get in a zone, knowing we SHOULD do something else but just push it aside. Making lists, having a routine is also what helps. Then you can feel good about yourself & not beat yourself up.

That's quite good! Reminds me a bit of Celtic music. I admire her for singing in the gravelly voice for so long. I can imagine the sore throat she had & all the practice to make it sound so realistic.

I love all animals but marine mammals get my vote so I pick dolphin. They are highly intelligent, most definitely. They can have emotions that are similar to humans.
A kangaroo, I'd be scared of their kick or their 'boxing' technique.
-
I pick comfort too. I'm not into fashion. I have basic clothes, nothing fancy. Can you imagine what the people had to wear hundreds of years ago? Not just the women, but the men as well. There was a saying before of how the clothes don't make the man but the man makes the clothes. I believe that.

A dog or any other creature over a kid, hands down. Animals are pretty self-explanatory whereas a parent may want a different thing for their kid. i.e. favorite toy, snack, etc. Animals will love you no matter what; kids can have temper tantrums over the smallest of things.

Talking about Sci-Fi got me thinking about this show. At first, my husband & I nixed it. Looked too gory. My husband doesn't care for zombie movies (I can take it or leave it). Then we saw that this was on many seasons & the people who DID watch it, continually raved about it. So, we tested it out on Netflix last winter. Yep, got hooked lol It is a bit too gory for my liking, but the plot tends to pull you in. We're behind on seasons. Waited for Season 10 to come out on Netflix. Anybody like it? What are your thoughts?

Includes The Karate Kid 1984, The Karate Kid Parts 2 & 3 1986 & 1989. The Next Karate Kid 1994. The newer movie of same name in 2010 with Jackie Chan.
The one with Jackie Chan was better than I thought it would be but it was odd seeing that actor as feeble with less humor. It still doesn’t hold a candle to the original ones. There wasn’t any chemistry between the 2 main actors IMO. I watched it but can’t imagine watching it again, whereas I’ve seen the originals several times since.
Then of course the newest series, Cobra Kai. A reboot of the series with the two rivals. I tried watching it but it didn’t hold me. When I looked at reviews, people are raving about this series. Something must be good if it’s going on for 4 seasons now.
Have you watched any of these movies? What did you think about them? Should I give Cobra Kai another go? -
We watched this years ago. When we started watching it, they were in Mount Midoriyama in Las Vegas, NV. It’s based off of a Japanese version, Sasuke. It started in 2009 & is on its 13th season. While we are not athletes (into fitness but certainly not athletic lol), the skills these contestants had just blew you away. We watched enough to recognize some major characters as time went on.
Did you watch this? Would you do something like this?

Can you imagine leaving your dog with strangers? They'd feel like they've been abandoned and I've seen how they act when they feel like that and it's heartbreaking.
Wholeheartedly agree! The 2 we've had were rescues from bad situations. They bonded to me very strongly. I can't even leave the room sometimes lol It's hard enough when we have to leave them at a vet for teeth cleaning. Can't convey to them that it's for their own good & Mommy & Daddy will be back. It's heart-wrenching on the pet AND on the human.

Very interesting answers! Thank you all for your replies. I have to agree on the bass as well. You can feel it in your chest & it's almost like your chest is going to explode.

I'm of the older generation so I learned that time is precious. If my parents wanted to learn a game, I think of it as spending quality time with my best friends. It's not a bother. Sure, it can be annoying if they don't grasp it right away, but I just breathe, take a step back & focus on being with them NOT on the game. That is what helps. Life is too short.
-
When I do play, which isn't as often anymore, I do sit still for the most part but I am also one of those 'leaners' lol It's like we are willing it to go faster when we use our whole body! I tend to be a leaner for TV shows as well.

I pick I rather not eat. We can live without food, but we can't live without liquids, preferably water. I too have fasted & while not pleasant, it is doable. If anybody has been severely dehydrated, they know how 'good' water tastes! I also have well water so ours do taste quite good.

I like being self-sufficient & a prepper. I can live without toilet paper as well as soap. There are other alternatives. For toilet paper, there’s cloth, which is also washable. Back in the day we had cloth diapers.
For soap, you can clean with baking soda, vinegar, essential oils. People do oil cleansing which uses i.e. the coconut or another carrier oil & actually have found it to be more beneficial.
Point is, when you think outside the box, people will find a whole other world out there.

Intelligent but plain looking. Beauty only takes you so far & is fleeting as we age anyways. Intelligence can take us far. Learning new skills, how to take care of ourselves & our families. For myself as well, I rather be unattractive & a genius.

That irks me no end! Especially if I’m waiting in the car & others are waiting in theirs & they have the windows rolled down & just have to have it playing loud. Not everybody wants to listen to music when they are waiting. Why do you think those people do that? If you do, why do you do it? I've always been curious at the reasoning. No judging, just like to learn things. 🙂

Putting this in Music as it has dancing. I went to a school dance when I was 14 but was not into it. I went because my friends were going & it was the ‘thing’ to go to. I didn't go to prom. Just wasn’t for me. Being an introvert, I was the wallflower. I preferred being home reading than going out in crowds. For those who did go to the dance or prom, what was your experience like? Is there anything you would do differently? Have any good or even bad memories to share?

Do you watch Reality shows? If so, what do you like? What do you think about them. I personally don’t care for them. Some or even all, is staged to be hyped up to create the most wow factor & drama. For those who watch them, what draws you to continue watching? I know some people just like to veg out & not take life too seriously. Some view them as just a good laugh.
Would you rather drink only tea or juice for a day?

I'm fine with both as I drink both on a daily basis. However, I do like my herbal tea so I would pick that for this question. I prefer red raspberry or rooibos as a close second. I love drinking carrot, orange, tomato juice. I blend bananas & other ingredients like berries to make a smoothie juice.
