    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2402157/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Not bad-- way better than any Brosnan Bond movie. It gets a bit two-dimensional as its plot unfolds. Decent Spy action flick that seems more intelligent on the surface than it actually is. But damn, there are some pretty hot eastern...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Okay-- I am making some renovations. I am using a bunch of glass and tile and aluminum. I have had TONS (literally) of stuff shipped, mostly by UPS and USPS. Here's the thing: ANYTHING that is labeled as FRAGILE has the ever-living shit crushed out of it. If it isn't labeled as such, it's fine...

    Stranger Things

    I finished it. Gotta say, for me, it was an endurance feat. Didn't love it. I thought it was a drawn out mess of non-converging story-lines. I am still at a loss as to why the common themes were torture (and Hopper) and child death (and Hopper) and a villan that made no sense (and Hopper) and...

    As a complete non-sequitor on 80's Russian paranoia; does ANYONE remember "Gymkata?" I actually saw it in a movie theater and vivdly remember Kurt Thomas doing his Wa-foo on a surprisingly convenient Pummel horse in the middle of a pseudo-Russian town fighting villagers with pitchforks and...

    I'm trudging through hours of Hopper torture and gulag crap... Why? I swear I don't even remember why Hopper is in a Russian gulag to begin with. It's not like they are really playing on 80's commie paranoia much. Hot Tub Time machine did that in an amazing way. Not even a Red Dawn easter egg...

    Stranger Things

    I’m on episode 5. I’m not all in, but not all out either. I feel like they have a cast and known characters and just no real story arc. Maybe it’s me, but I am also having a hard time telling who is who (or who was who). It’s a little more gruesome than I recall any of the other seasons being...

    Tiny Malicious Dinosaurs (Bird) Thread

    I wish I could figure out how to attract hummingbirds. I put a feeder out and got 1 hummingbird. Then I added flowers and another feeder. I'm lucky if I see one every 5 days. I change the liquid every 3 days. What gives?

    I had these from Aldi. They are AMAZING. Not sure that they actually taste like jalepeno poppers, but they are like getting an intracranial injection of Serotonin... they just make you feel soooooo good. I never get to see half of the Herr's brands. They are so good too. I have yet to see the...

    PS- JMS accomplished something no other American author ever has-- completely writing ALL episodes of two entire seasons of Babylon 5 (way back when a season had 20+ episodes).

    Babylon 5

    JMS is still hungry and creative. He and Joss Wheadon have a lot in common in their ability to create magnificent characters and expansive story arcs. Also, GREAT dialogue. Joss is (I think) passed all that now. For all I know JMS is living in a trailer writing his ideas on yellow legal pads...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    ST:SNW episode 3 was trash. Awful, BS technobabble BS and a terrible story/stories. 4 was better, although they trashed the Enterprise. They better make the Gorn as scary as HR Giger's alien is.

    Imagine this-- you are female, ignorant, have little experience and get promoted as part of an initiative to "increase female leadership" in a mostly male organization. You are almost universally despised by your colleagues. Two of the other (few) women speak out against their new, incompetent...

    Tatiana Maslani is such a GREAT actress that she might be able to pull it off... but then again, it does look like a heaping pile of steaming excrement.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I am pretty sure that in one of the worst episodes of Star Trek, TOS ("The Paradise Syndrome") Kirk becomes Kirok, lives amongst Native American Indian analogues, has a baby, all while the Enterprise spends 9-12 months deflecting an asteroid from hitting their planet. Well, a kinda terrible...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Episode #2 was very good. Let me clarify why I was so impressed with it, despite it's simple story arc. They are achieving a Star Trek narrative that hits so many levels and audience demographics; 1) It's simple in it's structure; linear and complete 2) It has special effects that both...

    Constantine: The House of Mystery (2022)

    Ugh... What a disaster. One of DC's more interesting characters gets the movie/video/TV shaft yet again... Granted, I did LOVE the Keanu Reeves film despite its molestation of the source material. The 2014 TV show with Matt Ryan was pretty damn good. So, of course, that got cancelled. Then a...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Yes, of course. Early in the game upgraded my bows to the max, but didn't find a huge functional difference between hunter bows and sharpshooter bows (other than the sharpshooter bows became my mainstream). Yes, more configuration potentials, but where was the one great weapon that matched...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Oh yeah-- I agree with the 80 hours. It has a lot more gameplay time-wasting options. It is a great game. But no way as great a narrative/story as the first one. And, the big bads are not as challenging (or surprising) and creatures that were a bitch to kill in HZD (frostclaws, eg) are not so...
