2024 SECRET SANTA THREAD - Registration Now CLOSED!

Forgot to post my interests, but here it is:

Some of my top interests and favorite movies/TV series:

Superman (basically any version, but especially Henry Cavill's Superman)
Supergirl
Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel
Firefly & Serenity
Star Wars
(huge fan of all three trilogies, even the prequels, and I love The Mandalorian)
Jurassic Park & Jurassic World (the first JP and the first JW are among my all time favorites, and I enjoy all the sequels as well)
The MCU (I've enjoyed pretty much every movie/TV series, but I haven't watched any of Loki Season 2 yet, although I thought Season 1 was awesome so I'm looking forward to binge watching it soon)
The Boys (haven't watched any of Gen V or Season 4 yet)
Transformers (I've enjoyed all of the different live-action films)
Scream 1-4 (I'm not really a big fan of 5 & 6 :()
Starship Troopers
The Fifth Element
Ghostbusters
(still haven't seen Afterlife/Frozen Empire shockingly, but I'm sure I'll enjoy em when I finally do)
Alien & Predator (I enjoy all of the different movies)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Terminator & T2
(I even enjoy all the other sequels for the most part)
Independence Day & ID: Resurgence (I'm one of the few who actually loved the sequel, and I'm still hoping for another one)
Species & Species II
Men in Black
The Matrix Trilogy & Resurrections
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
(one of my favorite movies from the last decade)


I could easily list another 50 movies/TV series/franchises I love, and I'm sure I forgot a couple I would've liked to include, so I may edit this post again in the future if my secret santa wants to check back if they can't figure out what to get me :)
 
Ahem….WHAAAAAAAAAT!!??
Are you freakin kidding me!!?
Just received my Secret Santa gift and holy guac and queso!!!! This is so freaking awesome!! Did I get one awesome gift? NO! Did I get two awesome gifts?? NO! I got freakin spoiled with FOUR totally awesome gifts that I love love love!!

I got a massive Stay Pufft Tiki Mug, a mini ghost trap (with lights and sounds!), and SOMEBODY took my love of all things John Carpenter to heart, and made me a 3D opening logo of The Thing AND, the pièce de résistance, a scaled down replica of the Satan canister from The Prince of Darkness!!!! It is so freakin cool!!! It lights up in several modes including a super cool flickering mode that is super creepy!!!! I am just so bloody chuffed!! zanderman, buddy you freakin ROCK! Thank you soooo much! Now I know Xmas is a bit off still but what’s super amusing is that this all came in a Big Bad Toy Store box, and I’m expecting a shipment from them at any moment with my Vincent Price NECA figure. So I opened it expecting that, and instead stumbled on this treasure trove! So, sorry….totally NOT sorry!! Best. Xmas. Ever!!

EEvansHilton Glad you like everything. Sorry about the card, I was staring at your username as I was writing it and happened to write Evan. And thank you for pulling the putty off the tank, I wasn't happy with it.

No worries mate. Just don’t call me late for dinner! The putty kinda came off in my hands as I unwrapped it. So of course I immediately began adding my own slime/weathering…

Hey Everyone, I have some sad news to share.

Jmvgreek1 was always a steady contributor to the Secret Santa thread, looking forward to it every year. Last year he mentioned several times that he had cancer and was undergoing treatment. In fact, for the last few years, his only real posts were here. His last post was in the Secret Santa 2023 thread.

He didn't join this year, and honestly, I've been so involved with my own troubles in life that I didn't think much of it. Regular participants sometimes drop off for a year or two, it happens.

OzReturner noticed he was missing and did some sleuthing, only to find that, sadly, Jmvgreek1 passed away on February 26th this year.


It's always sad to lose someone. Joseph was a staple of the exchange and I was really shocked to hear the news despite knowing his health was dire.

Thank you, Oz, for letting us know. Rest in peace, Joseph. I know at least I will be thinking of you this Christmas.
