    The Fucked Up Shit That Happened To You Thread

    I work with a couple of people that are convinced the universe is following their desires when stuff like this happens. So then I ask why the engine in her car blew up the other day, did she desire that to happen? Or does the universe hate her? Since I am subjected to this stuff almost...

    Ant Man. July 2015

    Agreed. But Falcon had electronics for Ant-Man to wreck. Hawkeye just has arrowheads. So it was pretty much Falcon, Iron-Man, or War Machine as the only options. Falcon makes the most sense from a budget and "Ant-Man needs to win" standpoint. I had no problem with the scene. But then...

    The League

    All Rafi episodes typically suck, but Rafi in small doses is awesome. Are you telling me you didn't laugh when he showed the watermelon and said "This one was consensual. This one wasn't"? I fell out of my chair laughing at that one. Or when he was telling Andre to stick his dick in...

    Supergirl

    I like it, and I really like Melissa Benoist. Even if it isn't aimed at my demographic, I will be watching it.

    Ant Man. July 2015

    Yeah, he's the Falcon, it makes sense that he might have enhanced optics. But even if he were called Butterfly, if you run around with people like Iron Man chances are you're going to get some sweet tech upgrades.

    Not to derail this further, but yes I've read Malazan.

    Transformers 5

    Apparently you don't understand the thrill of wearing a money hat. The people that greenlight the sequels do. They don't care if they were actually good.

    Tomorrowland

    I want to say yes, but I'm so far removed from that mindset that I can't be sure. There was plenty of good action and cool stuff to look at, but I can't be sure if it will all make sense or resonate with both ages. And there are moments of exposition which could go over the younger ones head...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    Thank God we got the golfing during the apocalypse cliche out of the way! Yeah I was a little bit annoyed that the military was made into such an obvious bad guy when there were plenty of other things the show could have focused on. I realize that when things break down, most soldiers fall...

    As I said, I don't mind if you don't like it. A lot of others do.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I don't begrudge anyone their opinion on things like movies and books, because no one likes the same thing, and I'd still enjoy them even if I were the only person that liked them (thankfully I'm not), but I don't think we can be friends anymore

    Tomorrowland

    Just watched this and really enjoyed the first 3/4 of the movie. The ending falls flat, which isn't a surprise now that I've re-read this thread and learned it was written by Lindelof, and as mentioned above there are a lot of things left unexplained. However, I still think it was worth the...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I've been trying to explain this very thing to the dullards I work with, but even if they like the movie it is just because of "yay explosions!" This is also one of my biggest pet peeves in books. I don't want to be told that soandso is a bad person (or any other character trait for that...

    Cooties

    Just finished it. Of course it isn't great, but as long as you realize what you're going to get, I think it is worth the watch. The last 15 minutes or so was pretty damn awesome. The child violence (both giving and taking) was great at times, and the humor was pretty good too. "Follow me...

    I love Take 5s also, pretzel in my candy bar is awesome. I could eat a metric fuckton of chocolate covered pretzels and/or peanut butter filled pretzels too. The whole salty-sweet thing, I suppose.

    Ant Man. July 2015

    I didn't mind it either. It allowed him to actually tangle with an Avenger that wouldn't outright beat the shit out of him, but also provided us with one that had a fairly legitimate reason to be able to spot him so we didn't just have Ant-Man sneaking past him without any confrontation. And I...

    The Documentary Thread

    I'm definitely going to check that out Tower Records documentary because I probably spent years of my life in that original store (and the Tower Books they opened next door) they started in. There were others already by the time I started going, but they always talked about being the first one...

    The Bastard Executioner

    I just watched this because a guy I work with came in raving about it today. It should be noted that other than Game of Thrones and the two Walking Dead shows (not saying those are good, but still), the extent of his viewing is usually stuff like Ghost Hunters and those History channel...

    Torrents

    Update on the smoothstream thing I signed up for awhile ago: RedZone worked as advertised, although it had a few hiccups at times. It almost seemed like if I had a shitty connection I'd always have a shitty connection, but once I reloaded it a bunch and got a fairly stable one, it stayed...

    FireTV Stick

    I don't know all of the technical aspects, but at the price of a Fire Stick I'd think if it lasts a couple of months before getting bricked, it is still vastly cheaper than any cable/satellite provider. That being said, I probably wouldn't want to hinge my entire viewing habit on connecting...

    Part II: The Metal Years is awesome, I highly recommend it. I remember Chris Holmes of W.A.S.P. being one of my favorite parts. I don't think he was sober once in the 80s.

    She was good, and I enjoyed her in MI, but she doesn't make me think, "Holy shit, I cannot wait to see this movie" like Blunt does. I'm sure I'll enjoy her performance if they do choose her, but it just isn't my ultimate omgbbqsauce movie without Blunt.

    Windows 10

    Well, it seems as if it won't matter, as reading further into it, it seems that I would need to actually purchase a new Windows 10 license for every computer since the free upgrade is more of a trade-in, not just a free license. So if you want to keep your old Windows 7 or 8, you can't get a...

    Road House remake... God damn it

    Even shit movies can hold a special place in people's hearts/memories. Did you see it when it came out in theaters? I did, and I loved it, because the movies of that time lent themselves to over the top action and cheese. Is it a good movie? Of course not. But I still love it, and would...

    Blunt Talk starring Patrick Stewart on Starz

    I enjoy this show quite a bit, particularly how in the aftermath of everything being so crazy and bonkers, Blunt and Harry can sort of just share a quiet moment like all is well in the world, even though we all know it isn't.

    Windows 10

    I'm looking at possibly upgrading the 15'ish computers at work to Windows 10, but we have multiple proprietary programs that barely worked with the Windows 7 upgrade, so I'm a little nervous about just straight upgrading to 10. I'd like to use dual boot to solve that problem, and this article...

    Road House remake... God damn it

    Same here. But I'm hopeful that this finally cements in every fanboy's (and more importantly, studio execs) head that Rousey is absolutely terrible in every way, and stops clamoring to put her into every fucking movie under the sun.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    One thing I'd like to point out, if this is what is holding you back, is that it is trivially easy to connect any modern TV to your computer, so the whole "if you don't mind watching your content on a smaller screen" comment is misleading. I run KODI on an Intel NUC, which is literally smaller...

    They still steam them. I always get my mexican pizzas with red sauce instead of pizza sauce, because I'm absolutely addicted to Taco Bell red sauce. I'd buy the powder and mix it up myself if I could (yes, it is just a powder in water, but still scrumptious).

    Wow, I didn't realize it wasn't even a PC, but an android device that probably isn't any more powerful than my phone. Not that I was going to buy one, since I already have an HTPC working great, but I'm always interested in keeping up with what's out there. If someone here buys one I'd still...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    From watching that, I'm curious what is different about that box than just a normal HTPC running XBMC/KODI with the same add-ons? Or is it the fact that the add-ons can only be connected to if you buy the Dragon Box? I mean, don't get me wrong, I see the attraction to just buying something and...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    The assumption that he had anything to do with it besides a name in the credits. We're arguing stuff we can't know though, and semantics, so it doesn't really matter. I'm optimistic, but we'll just have to see I guess.
