I love the Sea Hawk! So much better than Captain Blood, which is itself pretty good.
So depressing watching The Adventures of Don Juan because Flynn looks so bloathy and dissipated and coke damaged.
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

(Also from 2002: "$7.75 for a [movie] ticket? That's insane!")
Tell 2002!Sunil that 2012!Sunil just found $100 and can afford a movie.

I think many of our college-aged selves could stand a good thumping.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My college-aged self could use a good hug. And maybe to get laid.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I was so fucking...an improvement from high school me, who thought using the Word thesaurus made him sound intelligent, but still kind of full of myself.
So could mine, tommyrot. Also my current self.

My college self was lucky enough to get laid--Peyton Place had nothing on the college radio station--but she let it matter too much. I'd tell her, "Yes, sleep with him, but try not to cry so much over him. He has his uses, but heartache isn't one of them."

What would be more helpful, of course, is if I sat down with my college-age self and explained for an hour or two about "why your approach to things often doesn't work."

Oh, and I'd say, "Take math and science courses, really."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Hmmm. I don't think I'd have any big life-altering stuff to tell my college-age self to do differently. Maybe "do more upper body strength training while your metabolism is fast and you can pack on muscle." And "don't pay money to go see Mel Gibson movies unless Jodie Foster and James Garner are in them. You'll thank me later."

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Now that I think of it, all the stuff I'd tell college age me is stuff I told college age me when I was in college. College age me just did not listen.
