IF YOU WANT A REAL TOP 5 LIST GO CHECK OUT
1975 TCMA ALL TIME GREATS OLD HOSS RADBOURN
I MAY HAVE LIED WITH THE ADDAMS FAMILY CARD, THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST OF THE YEAR. IN THE 70'S TCMA PUBLISHED A SET OF ALL TIME GREATS POSTCARDS WHICH ARE REALLY COOL AND WERE FAIRLY COMMON AND CHEAP IN THE 80S AND THE ONES I GOT I COLORED ON AND GENERALLY TRASHED AND NOW I WILL NEVER SEE ANOTHER ONE AGAIN. MAN I WISH I COULD DO THE ENTIRE DECADE OF THE 80S OVER. THE POSTCARDS WERE SO COOL, THEY DECIDED TO DO A SMALLER SIZED SET OF TRADING CARDS. THESE AREN'T STANDARD BASEBALL CARD SIZE BUT ARE A LITTLE LARGER, MORE LIKE CARDS FROM THE 50S. FOUND A SMALL PILE OF THEM AT THE FLEA MARKET IN A BOX FOR $1.50 A CARD AND POOPED A BIT WHEN I FOUND THE OL HOSS WITH THE FLIPPING THE BIRD POSE. WHO NEEDS A SUPER EXPENSIVE OLD JUDGE OLD HOSS WHEN YOU CAN GET THE VINTAGE CHEEPNISS. I SOMEHOW GOT THIS FOR FIFTY CENTS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE SELLER FORGOT HE WAS EVEN SELLING THESE THINGS
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS VICIOUSLY JABBING MY NOSTALGIA GLAND MORE - THE TEXT THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE SHOVED AN INDEX CARD IN A TYPEWRITER OR THOSE INEXPLICABLE LITTLE DOTS THAT LOOK LIKE FAKE PERFORATION. THIS IS LIKE A BASEBALL CARD ZINE AND IT'S FRIGGIN FANTAZTIC. I WANNA GET SOME INDEX CARDS AND A BUSTED OLD TYPEWRITER AND MAKE MY OWN CARD SET NOW
BONUS 2019 IN REVIEW CONTENT!!!
BEST MOVIE OF 2019
STAYING ON BRAND BY ONLY LIKING THINGS FROM LAST CENTURY. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT SHOULD REALLY BE SEEN IN A THEATER BUT I'M SURE SOME OF Y'ALL HAVE A 96 INCH PLASMA SCREEN SO THAT SHOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH. I WAS OBSESSED WITH SPACE TRAVEL AND THE MOON LANDING AS A KID AND BEING ABLE TO SEE ALL THE BEHIND THE SCENES STUFF WAS FANTASTIC
AS FOR MY FAVORITE FILM OF 2019, I DID MANAGE TO WATCH A BUNCH OF MOVIES THAT I HAD BEEN PUTTING OFF AND I GENERALLY REALLY ENJOYED THEM. HONORABLE MENTION GOES TO GET OUT AND HAUSU BUT MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE IS DEFINITELY
THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE MOVIE PERIOD NOW. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED GODZILLA AND I'M A BIG FAN OF NEON GENESIS EVANGELION AND IT'S LIKE BOTH OF THEM GOT MOOSHED UP INTO A DELICIOUS CINEMATIC PEANUT BUTTER CUP. NINETY PERCENT OF THE FILM IS IDIOT BUREAUCRATS RUNNING AROUND WITH THEIR HAIR ON FIRE TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE OTHER TEN PERCENT WHICH IS GODZILLA ABSOLUTELY WRECKING SHIT. I LOVE THE JAPANESE OFFICIALS BICKERING. I LOVE THE INTERNATIONAL MEDDLING. I LOVE HOW THE UNDERDOG SAAVED THE DAY. I LOVE GOOFY-ASS BABY ZILLA. I LOVE ASS KICKING GROWNED UP ZILLA. I LOVE IT ALL. THE POINT WHERE IT WENT FROM MY FAVORITE OF '19 TO MY FAVORITE PERIOD WAS WHEN THE NERD SQUAD CONVENED TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH ANGRY KAIJU AND THE GODDAMN EVANGELION BATTLE THEME MUSIC PLAYED. AND THEN IT BECAME THE NERD SQUAD THEME SONG. JUST WATCHING THE TRAILER HAS ME ALL VERKLEMPT, I NEED A MOMENT
MORE 2019 MEMORIES SOON AFTER I BUY THE DVD

I know those TCMA All-Time Greats cards well but have never seen that Radbourn. That is spectacular. I bet if I look one up right now it will be 20 bucks (*makes quick check*). OK, between 10 bucks and sold out. But I found a cheaper card with the same pose!
The "family drags you to movies" years killed going to the movie theater for me. The appeal is gone forever.
A. THORZUL is back? Sweet.
B. Looking forward to watching Apollo 11 online somewhere.
C. Your Godzilla Shin review motivated me to buy it on Amazon. Can't wait to watch it on my puny 52" screen.
