Scrobins

I wish I could remember more. Maybe a tv western. I know there were lingering shots on the two guys killed in the saloon. I remember thinking woah the two guys with good cover are killed while the guy who storms in is just wounded.

That’s where my search generally takes me but I don’t believe there is a scene where there is a procession and gunfire breaks out. I think the scene I’m thinking of also took place on a bridge.

Most of these I remember from the late 90s/early 2000s, I would have been around 10-14.

I don’t think any of those were what I’m looking for. To help narrow, anything would have to be from before 2005, and probably after 1970.

I decided to start a thread to help me crowdsource the answers, and thought maybe others might have some fun submitting their own too. When I was a kid, my mom would take my sister and me to church, and my dad would stay home. Often when we came home he would be watching some movie on tv. I would catch a piece of a scene and it would be burned to n my memory as something I’d want to see at some point. Years later I’m trying to figure out what they are, but my dad has no clue about any of them. I recently figured out one of them: I remembered a bear fighting off a pack of dogs on a mountain. One dog was a different color and was hurt so badly, his owner had to shoot him (or rather his friend did). This turned out to be the French film The Bear. So now I feel like there’s momentum and I want to figure out the others, which might also be from tv shows: -Religious setting. A procession carrying a statue of the Virgin Mary stops when the statue begins weeping blood. As onlookers weep, a gunfight breaks out -A movie ends with two men in pig masks shooting a cop in the woods. There is some kind of epilogue text -A western setting. A man prepares to run into a saloon for a gunfight. Two men are inside hiding, one is under/behind a table. Gunfight ends, the men who were inside are killed while the man who ran in is just injured -Possibly an old Southern setting. A woman in a plantation hears moaning upstairs. She goes up to the bedroom and catches black boy and white girl in bed Any ideas? Any movies/shows of your own you’ve been trying to figure out what they were?

This thread is about Star Keeper, please start a different thread for this conversation.

Dave, is it really necessary for you to re-derail a thread just because you have an opinion after the conversation has moved on? Respect the subject the OP wishes and please stop engaging this discussion in bad faith. There is more than one definition of the word “caricature” and you are conflating them to make the appropriateness of one excuse the other. Cartoon artists at carnivals and street fairs would not make a caricature of the other sort without getting their jaw broken. And no, the notion of “not seeing race” is not generally an accepted concept. You are not “disallowed” from asking the question, but the point is that the vast majority of people have a passing understanding of racial discrimination against BIPOC communities that someone saying they don’t see race is regarded as willfully disregarding the pain of others’ experiences. Saying you don’t see color is to say you don’t know or don’t care what people of color have been through. Anyway please keep this thread on topic. If you want to engage and understand race relations, then please start a separate thread to ask.

Caricatures are harmful, there is no acceptable one. You want to have a cartoon with people of color? Just depict the skin color, heightening other features is problematic. That you don’t understand that tells me you live in a fantasy world and maybe mature conversations on race just aren’t for you. A forum for video game enthusiasts can’t make up this gaping lapse in your upbringing.

That is a classic late 19th/early 20th century minstrelsy depiction of a black person, complete with oversized, reddened lips. Characters like that are derived from minstrel shows where white people put on blackface and masqueraded as stereotypes of black people to entertain white people. Such shows are specifically where the term Jim Crow comes from, being a prominent character of one. If you don't know how that caricatured depiction of a black person is harmful and racist, then you are hopeless. I can't tell if you are being a troll or your upbringing was so devoid of racial awareness that you are incapable of gaining that skill at this point in your life.

Added Athletic World for the Gameboy, open for pre-order.

Added Flying Arrows 2 for the Gameboy, now live on Kickstarter!

Added Doodle World 2 for the NES, with its demo seen at MGC.

As a different console from the NES, that would be a fair interpretation of the contract as currently written. And given the rising tide of Famicom homebrews, including as variants to existing games such as Battle Kid and Super Bat Puncher, is a pretty good idea.

Being a devoted fan has its perks

Wish I’d seen this when it was first posted. OP, sorry you’ve been struggling. I can relate to what you’ve said. I haven’t hit a midlife crisis yet, but I’ve had what I would call a quarter life and a third life crisis. During the former, about a decade ago, I questioned every decision, concerned that I was foreclosing opportunities and not following the “right” path. For the latter, which I went through in the last couple of years, I wondered whether I was stuck in the circumstances of my life as it existed. Was I happy with my job and are there opportunities to advance? Am I happy in my relationship, is this the person I want to be with? Right now I am happy with my job. It affords me a level of comfort, in many terms from living well and feeling like I'm good at it, to being flexible and not too demanding that I don’t fee overburdened and am able to have a lot of other activities that make me feel like a well-rounded person. I’m in a relationship now that brings me a lot of joy, but because of the age difference, biological kids aren’t on the table. Maybe adoption down the line. Perhaps because I'm a guy, and my parents are aware of my depression, I don’t get the kind of pressure that my sister gets, especially since she got married. I’m fortunate that I’m not pressured, and that people are happy to see that I’m happy. But at the end of the day, people need to realize that life isn’t a race with required milestones that have to happen at certain times. While you can’t necessarily stop parents from asking about relationships and kids, friends are usually responsive if you tell them to stop. The only race you’re in is to reach happiness as you define it as quickly as possible. And even if you do want kids but aren’t in a position to have them one way or another, there will always be some kind of option. Adoption is always on the table. But even with biological kids, Cary Grant was 62 when he had his daughter.

Which is why I said that the warning points I issued weren’t just for this thread but reflect a new mod consensus that that kind of behavior and language is not going to be tolerated here anymore. Some stuff in this thread from some people isn’t itself point-worthy, but are a recognition that we haven’t been policing toxic and mean negatively as much as we should have. I’m sorry it wasn’t dealt with now, but people using that word aren’t getting a pass anymore.
