Excellent 'I Live In Your Basement!' Adaptation Now Playing at a Theatre Near You (July 17, 2010)[edit | edit source]
|
A Tool said... I think for the first time ever, your cynicism failed. Not a very strong connection you've made between the two works when your only basis for that connection is the whole dream thing. I Live in Your Basement! was more of an anxiety issue over whether or not the character is dreaming or awake, whereas Inception gets past that anxiety really fast; it more focuses on how to totally change a person's mind with planting an idea. Not that you would normally do this, Troy, but please do not claim that just because you were making a joke that it doesn't need to be read into that much, because the joke doesn't work. Your joke is only based on a superficial connection that calls attention to something that is only a minor aspect of Inception. You've done much better than that before, Troy, don't sell yourself short. I'm sorry, Troy, but the mark wasn't hit this time. JULY 20, 2010 7:42 PM |

Anonymous said... well now that this clearly means you'll be returning to goosebumps reviews (just like last post back in 2013) I'd better start rereading all of your posts and catching up on my blogger beware references. Oh, also, troy, did you officially approve this? JULY 08, 2015 7:32 AM |

Anonymous said... Well, why Blogger Beware's 10 year anniversary may have passed without event, the same can not be said for today, the 10 year anniversary of what is obviously the greatest movie of all time, and I sure everyone will agree, High School Musical.[11] That movie stars a character named Troy. Coincidence?......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................yes.

Spongey444 said... I'm still sticking to my theory that Troy was somewhere in the Goosebumps movie.[13] We don't know what looks like, so we would never even know. (And sometimes stuff like that goes uncredited) MARCH 21, 2016 8:35 PM |

Anonymous said... Another Twitter post, another confirmation of the blog returning. The tweet might have been an Animaniacs reference?[15] Guess we can cross that off the list of references he hasn't done. APRIL 22, 2016 6:54 PM |

Anonymous said... Well, for what is probably the 50th time, I have reread every Blogger Beware entry, only this time, instead of reading them in order, I read them down the list on the side. The majority of the images are still gone. I figure the least Troy can do is fix all the images, but then again, with all the images that are gone, that would probably be harder to do than actually writing a new entry.

Anonymous said... Well, there's a new Troy Steele Twitter post, and this time, R.L.Stine himself responded to it, to show that he still doesn't get jokes made at his expense.[Note 7] And while Stine was responding to some other guy in the Twitter comments, maybe it's still a sign that even Stine wants Troy to continue the blog. So who knows what 2017 will bring us in Blogger Beware news? After all, it will be the 5th year anniversary of the last Blogger Beware entry, Revenge of the Living Dummy. And there is that Goosebumps Slappy World series coming out (which really rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?) maybe that's another sign? At the very least, we can probably expect a new post that has nothing to do with Goosebumps (it seems the pattern is every 2 years with those?) so I can look forward to peeing my pants in excitement, only to realize it's just a post about Chuck Norris or something. But who knows, maybe next year Troy will finally fix those broken images (cough cough)? DECEMBER 31, 2016 10:10 AM |

Robin said... A random memory from "Give Yourself Goosebumps #5: Night in Werewolf Woods":[16] You (Main Character) are at a camp/woodland resort with your neighbor, who brought his box of pewter figurines. Who brings their pewter figurine collection on vacation with them? FEBRUARY 23, 2017 7:29 PM |

Robin said... Hey, Troy, read "The Boyfriend"[17] (one of Stine's young adult novels). It begins with the main character going to a mall and hiding, so she can watch her boyfriend be upset when she doesn't show up. And she calls her friend to boast about this. FEBRUARY 23, 2017 8:47 PM |

Anonymous said... Oh, crap, there are a lot of tweets now. Or rather, they're all re tweets...plus one normal tweet. Well, you know what they say: 5 retweets and 1 normal tweet makes a Blogger Beware entry...pretty sure that's how it goes. FEBRUARY 27, 2017 3:21 PM |

Robin said... Troy, have you watched "The Haunting Hour"[19] on Netflix? Despite the name, each episode is a HALF-hour scary story. Maybe you can start with the episode where a boy treats a middle-aged man zombie like a dog because his mom won't let him have an actual dog.[20] Or the one where a girl meets a guy who flirts with her, but the guy is actually a werewolf-type creature, and then he ends up being her father, I think?[21] AUGUST 06, 2017 5:22 PM |

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ Active link.
- ↑ No clue what this could have been. Although, one user did reply...

Thank you troy im glad you enjoyed my video im goosebumps 9

- ↑ Archived link, since the original is down.
- ↑ The link is down, but here's basically what they were linking to.
- ↑ Here are the YouTube and Vimeo links.
- ↑ No clue what Troy was referring to here.
- ↑ The exchange-in-question.
- ↑ Troy calls back to the Night in Werewolf Woods comment from earlier. This comment might imply that he was considering reviewing this book, since he'd always toyed with the idea of reviewing one Give Yourself Goosebumps book. Even still, this never happened.
- ↑ This is (as far as I can tell) Troy's last comment on the blog.
References[edit | edit source]
- ↑ A very famous film.
- ↑ New age music.
- ↑ Shorthand for "too long; didn't read".
- ↑ Not clear if this is a reference to a specific book. I guess you could say that this is the twist of Are You Terrified Yet? or Scream School.
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 Probably a reference to Elisabeth Shue. Troy once created an entire blog riffing on her.
- ↑ Goosebumps Most Wanted, book #1.
- ↑ A reference to the 2012 phenomenon.
- ↑ Legendary post-rock album Millions Now Living Will Never Die by Tortoise (with a title that references an essay by Joseph Franklin Rutherford).
- ↑ Probably a reference to Game of Thrones.
- ↑ Mary Agnes Donoghue wrote Jenny's Wedding and Beaches.
- ↑ High School Musical is a 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie about high school students performing in some sort of music-type-event. If only there were a concise name for such an event.
- ↑ Lyrics from the aforementioned musical.
- ↑ The 2015 film.
- ↑ A character from the aforementioned film (loosely based off of the invisible boy from My Best Friend Is Invisible).
- ↑ Animaniacs is an animated comedy series that follows the adventures of the Warner siblings, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.
- ↑ Goosebumps Wiki link, if you're curious.
- ↑ Goodreads.
- ↑ A reference to La La Land, a 2016 romantic musical comedy-drama film about a musician and an aspiring actress who are struggling to make it in Los Angeles.
- ↑ The show The Haunting Hour is an anthology horror television series that aired on the Hub Network from 2010 to 2014 based on stories by R.L. Stine.
- ↑ "Best Friend Forever".
- ↑ Probably "Nightmare Inn".
- ↑ Jokingly conflating two unrelated anthologies, Troy references Black Mirror, a very dark British sci-fi anthology series that explores modern society and the unanticipated consequences of technology.
- ↑ "Opposite Day" is when people do the opposite of what they normally do. Conceptually, it's a fake holiday, but in actuality it's mostly just a humorous game.
