I liked Inglorious Basterds because I thought the writing and story were far superior to this movie (or Kill Bill). I put it middle of the pack for his work, but I have only watched it once.

A lot of Tarantino's violence is too silly for me when he gets carried away. The only movie were he goes ham with it, and I actually still liked the movie enough to watch it more than once was Dusk till Dawn, probably because I saw it as a teen. If the rest of the movie is great, it makes up for...

Your father's 1st cousin is your 1st cousin, once removed. Family tree naming, in regards to cousins: Horizontal on the tree is the naming we all know. You -> 1st cousin -> 2nd cousin -> 2nd cousin -> so on. Vertical on the tree adds: once, twice, three times "removed" (and so on) in addition...

Quick clip of Bill Burr talking about the show some (first half), second half is more about Burr's start in standup:

No lightsabers and ability to do iconic Jedi movies makes getting "Jedi" or "Sith" powers as a non-jedi/sith seems silly. While the work to replace all the skins with SW skins is impressive, the biggest problem is that the base gameplay of the game is mediocre and it especially doesn't seem to...

I didn't know they showed full frontal of the Swede in a later season, but I guess that's your thing, and I can see how that incentivized you to finish it!

No solution here, but your post made me go look for some videos on sanding epoxy that I watched 6+ years ago. Didn't find them, but found a couple "pro" tip videos that were interesting enough to post. Also, getting shocked when using electric tools should certainly be a bit of red flag...

...but didn't you see that the chain is titanium? TITANIUM!! There's no way to get out of that! Nitpick I noticed for this episode: It didn't seem to have internal consistency within itself in regards to the octopus. At the beginning they are laying in bed, like they just had "sex" and she was...

Wait, Europe had a ricer plague too?

You can play it yourself, without a sub, on the PTR... supposedly... if the servers ever come back up. I started downloaded the TWW 11.0 PTR to test it out, but there are post on the forums saying the servers have been offline for a week or more.

Xpac pre-patch July 23: They are doing the same thing that they did with Diablo 4 and making people pay for the highest tier ($90) to have access on the real release day: Thursday, August 22

Anyone expecting even an ounce of historical accuracy from Ridley Scott need to go read the Napoleon movie thread. If this movie is any good, it will be due to spectacle and/or the farcical story, just like the first movie.

Roughly first half of video is Eric Weinstein talking about the controversy of him even being on the show with Terrence and more comments about how wrong Terrance is. Second half is talking about how science and peer review have been harmed by non-scientific claims by public health during the...

Of the little I have read about them, people seems to like propane over diesel/gas. Something about higher upfront, but less maintenance/upkeep (maybe).

Dodgers trying to get dem weeb kids to watch baseball:

I had the opposite reaction. I forgot why I never watched this movie when it came out, then saw this thread bumped back in April, which then made me decide to watch it. Going into it blind (outside of the last two pages about Lee), I found most of the movie to plod along like an average...

When he's so thoroughly stupefied, why do you need more proof? Why are you still reading these fucking people and subjecting us to their retardation. Your schtick with this shit is getting thin when it spills over from the other threads where we are prepared for that idiocy, if we so choose to...

To be fair, season 1 was pretty forgettable. I was a bit lost trying to remember what the various characters did, how they were related, or even who they were when watching this season.

The Holy Roman Empire was not holy, Roman, or an empire. The "German Empire" was mostly just Prussia with a few friends that maybe had 10% overlap with any lands once inhabited by Rome. The Nazis were too concerned with racial purity to worry about being descended from dirty Italian half breeds...

Senna is one the best documentaries I have seen and I have never watched a single F1 or Nascar race. Since it's a documentary, it isn't really comparable to other racing movies.

Just now:

"Sweep and clear!"

That episode may have been the worst in the show. They already showed that Hughie has enormous plot armor, so there was no tension about his life being at stake. It certainly seems like they are stuck in the loop of one-upmanship in that every episode needs to have something even more extreme...

That Terrence Howard video is sooooo long, it's hard to get through, but the 14 minute clip they posted up was much more manageable (that the google algo got me with). I then went to the full video and watched about 40 minutes more from the end of the clip. It reminded me of student who thinks...

I liked TJ Miller in Silicon Valley, but the little I have heard about him off camera make it sound like he has some large mental problems that affect everything he does.

Very surprising that they went with a white Green Lantern when the animated show had a black one. After looking up who Guy Gardener even was, it also said John Stuart has always been black, so no race swap would even be needed. Does that hint at who is going to get killed in one of the first movies?

"Stuntman Ross Kananga attemps at jumping across crocodiles in the 1973 James Bond film, 'Live and Let Die'. The takes resulted in a number of injuries requiring 193 stitches. He died a few years later from a heart attack."

Did you check the list of sites I posted above (Music / Podcasts / Radio)? Last time I expanded my FLAC collection I sign up for a month of Deezer premium and then used a program to DL FLACs from them. Supposedly Spotify's free codec is lossless now too, but I haven't spent much time with it.

There are people that build their own mattresses out of the various foam layers instead of one large block of foam. I believe that is how the expensive foam mattress companies do it. I didn't find this until well after I bought my current bed, but I might try to build one next time. I hate my...

While I know UK police are mostly unarmed, the people in that thread are saying that Northern Ireland police still all carry due to the history of violence against the various employees of the occupying government.

The police of Northern Ireland seem to have a much more stringent use of force rule for their sidearm.

Danish Soap finish: Old video, but new to me. Looks interesting, but never gave the soap finish much thought.

Season 8 killed my interest in GoT. I watched each season twice, as they aired until season 7. I also watched season 1 to 5 probably 3 or 4 times more, before season 8 dropped. I haven't watched any of it since then. There are a whole slew of shows I would rather watch, even if it's the 10th or...

Yea, the Fak brothers are a bit annoying and hard to imagine any $150+/plate restaurant would allow either of them to be front of the house. There were a few episodes that seemed to drag on, but for the most part I also liked the change of pace in this season. There is only so much they can do...
