Now that it's rickshawed I would like to take a moment to say this is possibly the best thread title ever. It sounds like a movie or book title (Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead) or of a brilliant piece of investigative journalism.

It seems to me running a fitness center is a strange endeavor because it's in the interest of most of your clients that there are as few clients as possible. It's like the opposite of poker: Poker players want more people playing poker because it grows the money pool they win money from, fitness...

Paris la D?fense. Defense of Paris.

A very neat, chill and well designed puzzle game. While many puzzle games are pretty dry, this one manages to have a tender, welcoming feel to it, thanks to the theme, the soundtrack and the many funny flavor animations thrown in the mix. A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build The game is short...

For all its originality, people seem to forget District 9 also had a terribad plot (including spaceship fuel that turns humans into aliens...).

For comedian + political acumen an idea that has not been mentioned yet is Kal Penn. Drawbacks: he is an actor, not a stand up comedian and he worked for the current administration. That's a bit much, even for fake journalism! More realistically: Wyatt Cenac.

Nec hipster wuwu!

I registered for MUBI on my PS4 (not sure if it's available in all regions) and I am getting good millage out of it. It's like a curated version of Netflix focusing of art house / world cinema / classics. Every day there is a new movie that you can watch within 30 days. So on any given day there...

Played the first couple hours of this game today and it's really all kind of awesome. Bump-worthy awesome even!

So you saw the other nominated films? Because Ida and Leviathan are several order of magnitudes better than Wild Tales. I laughed more during Leviathan's drunken pic-nic scene than I did in the whole of Wild Tales!

In defense of Harrison Ford, I thought Morning Glory was pretty good!

Choose what applies: - Don't shitpost. - Seek medical help.

I read through this thread and I did not understand it. What is the nature of the cheating that is happening?

Dennis Villeneuve is ok in my book. The scenario is written by Hampton Fancher (the guy who did the original screenplay for the original Blade Runner... but not much else it should be said) so... ok... and Michael Green... a guy who wrote some Smallville, some Everwood (?), some Heroes and some...

A non ironic cover of Britney Spears. While I am at it:

You guys realize that it's the Academy Awards and that Lauren Bacall and Mickey Rooney died in 2014? If they are not doing something special for the deaths of two of the last legendary stars of the golden age of Hollywood, they will not do something special for a popular comedian from the '90s...

Less dangerous than alcohol for an alcoholic!

Lego not being nominated for best animated feature film was weird, but Big Hero 6 winning over The Tale of Princess Kaguya is just wtf. Alexandre Desplat is a badass so it's ok, but it's true Zimmer's score for Interstellar was memorable. That said, the standout score this year for me was the...

The architectural drawings of Etienne-Louis Boul?e. XVIIIth century french neo-classic architect who was a visionary but also had very few of his projects actually built. GIS his name, or checkthis.

As Thri-kreen?

First half of the PSG - Chelsea game: 1) Who needs forwards when you can have a defensive trio score a goal like that? 2) LOL at David Luis changing the position of the spray mark for the free kick! I wonder if he will get fined for that.

The shorter the Order is the more likely I am to buy it! Well... working on the assumption that a short AAA game means a beautiful lean game devoid of filler. If it ends up being short and bland, it will go on the 'buy on the cheap if the opportunity arises' list.

And today's word is: Hagiography.

If the target on the Y axis is not the closest that the car can reach, there will be an infinite number of possible trajectories, making it difficult (maybe even impossible) to answer the questions properly. That said, my tired self does not even know what is the radius of the circle the car...

Diasporaby Greg Egan A pretty fascinating read filled with interesting ideas about post-humanity, particle physics, cosmology and universes with more than 3+1 dimensions. It feels a bit like Sci-Fi for and by institutes of technology students though: a lot of hard science, but not a lot of...

Just like the Jboots, it feels every time I use Chrome it's a little slower. I guess they add features that I use less and less and it bloats the whole thing.

Oh well... It's strange that I hit 100 because I did not put that many "strongly". /shrug

Ninja Assassin and V for Vendetta are produced by the Wachowskis. Not written nor directed by them.

What about Nukes with A.I.?

Do you still need anti-aliasing with 4k?

It still was a lot more entertaining than some of their previous meetings. There was some 'pushing the ball around without doing much of anything by fear of a counter-attack', but a lot less than usual between these two and there was a number of well constructed offensive points along with some...

No, I mean a lot of the jokes fall flat because of poor timing in line delivery or poor editing. An example that springs to mind is when Mortdecai flees on foot at some point and is like 'hahah! I am such a great runner!' then it cuts to the fight with the man servant and then it comes back to...

There are some good lines, there are some good jokes here and there and Paltrow (very sweet on the eye) is surprisingly convincing in the part of the woman in love with his wacky husband. As a whole though this is very poor. 90% of the comedic timing is off (sometime dramatically so), the plot...

For the 3rd year in a row at the AO the Djokovic vs Wawrinka match went the distance, but this one will not stay in memories as a classic because both players were very up and down and almost never played well at the same time. On top of that, the tight fifth set that everyone hoped for lasted...

Ghirardelli is safe from this kind of shenanigans since it is a company based in San Francisco that got bought by Lindt (a swiss chocolatier). I am not sure if they import and rebrand, manufacture in California with a swiss formula or just make their own thing, but anyway the situation is...

People need to play Yakuza 4. It might be a tad confusing at first considering it's one big mess of a story through all the episodes, but the game contains video summaries of the previous three and it has several new characters that have only indirect ties with the back story. The new...

Supremely strange first semi final: Berdych started super well and served from the first set, but from there started to be very nervous. He could not close the set on his serve, found himself in a breaker where a nervous and somewhat unlucky Murray could not turn the table on him... and instead...

Fantastic Four canon aside, if someone calls himself Dr. Doom, he is pretty likely to be some sort of emo blogger.
