    Good sci-fi/horror books?

    Just about any Richard Matheson novel. The basis of so much modern horror/suspense. I am legend. (Not a single movie has even gotten the tiniest bit close to making it well). What dreams may come (Sooo much deeper than movie). Hell House (the Godfather of haunted house stories). Those...

    What tickles your pickle

    That feeling you get when you lay your head down on the pillow after your day. It's quiet and that feeling of the cool soft pillow just makes you happy. and blowjobs.

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    My nephew's schools texts my sister at least once a week about a school lockdown due to a security threat...usually another school in district but not hers, but still a hair-raising text to get...every week. Suspicious homeless guy: Lockdown. Car parked in school lot: Lockdown. She tells me...

    Isn't that a lot of lead, possibly mercury, and a ton of other stuff we probably wouldn't want to make a reef out of? Attachment 27848

    The Netflix Thread

    I did the trial for it, and the selection wasn't any better than netflix (almost identical), and it pissed me off when I'd be browsing and be like oh hell ya I wanna watch that!! but it wasnt a "prime" and I'd have to pay 5 bucks to rent it. I liked the UI on netflix through PS3 better so just...

    The Theism Thread

    I thought I was going to get some interesting discussion in this thread. I should have known better. somewhat interesting: Religious Freedom in America panel on c-span http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Part3R The Sikh guy reminds me of that small indian comic guy when he speaks.

    Smartphones

    AT&T has a similar device. It connects to your internet router and is basically a mini-tower, which uses your internet so you can get a good signal in the house - again, using your internet, not a 3G signal. iirc you can set it up to work with only certain devices, so you're not boosting your...

    Fast and the Furious 6

    This movie is so over the top, yet awesome. It's not like a bad movie that is good because it is bad. This is a bad movie that is good, and a fun time shall be had by all. Remember in the Naked Gun how they went to go see Platoon and came out of the theater holding their guts and laughing...

    Cocktails

    I went through a phase with sweet vermouth, and I always like just drinking it with lemon rind on the rocks (don't skip this, it makes a difference). Rub lemon rind on the rim of a tumbler and then use as garnish. Nice and refreshing without being overwhelming - great classy summer drink or...

    Upcoming new TV shows/miniseries

    When I first heard about this show, I had an image of people in an office printing out all the Michael J Fox memes, turning their heads over their shoulder and shouting, "We've got at least 2 seasons right here!"

    Abacab's sick ass festival thread!

    I've done sxsw for 4 years, fun festival. I'm actually more interested in the Film and Interactive portions of it - Once the music portions start, all the fucking retards come out (this, however, includes the scantily dressed sluts, so I can't complain too much), and free stuff is a lot harder...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Very neat. Anyone know where the area at 1:06 is? Looks really familiar (probably from other movies).

    Tablets

    I haven't had any issues with Currents, or lockups/freezes in general on my Nexus 10. Still pretty noobish, I discovered floating apps, and can only ask why all apps do not have a floating option. It's the shit. Downloaded a floating video player and hovernote for note-taking, and feel like...

    Thanks, Gents. Printed out the menu to show my father - he was impressed, and was reminiscing about working with turtle soup during his apprenticeship. http://www.amazon.com/Opera-Bartolom.../dp/1442611480 -That is pretty interesting to me. Again, thanks. Oh, ya, and <3 Alton Brown.

    My father is getting ready to move into a new home, and I went through his attic full of cookbooks (he was a french chef). I found Escoffier's Guide Culinaire (Escoffier, the most important 20th century french chef), which was published in 1921, and it's interesting to see the type of recipes...

    Music Downloading for the Elderly

    Have you tried Spotify? You can create playlists and search for songs or artists, and also has radio channels a la Pandora. I showed my mom, who is 70 and still calls me to ask how to turn the volume up on the TV, and she has a good grasp of it, and has been able to find some pretty rare and...

    Tablets

    Been rocking a Nexus 10 for the past month, and it's amazing. At first I was a little dismayed that there was not micro-sd or other storage, but if you embrace the cloud, you really dont need space for anything but movies. 32GB is plenty of movies, books, and a couple playlists for offline...

    My father's about to move into a new home, and is thinking about getting the LG Google TV GA7900 for their living area. Has anyone purchased or used this TV? I cant find any potential issues from online materials and reviews - it looks like a damn fine TV with just about everything you'd...

    I have invites for IPT as well, send me your E-Mail. As usual, looking for a site that has good range of books/tutorials/etc. IPT has really fallen off lately in that regards, and just have a hard time finding books on topics that interest me. There was a public russian site listed on the...

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    The show is retarded, but meh, so is most stuff out there. Pretty disappointing that Netflix went from House of Cards to this True Blood/twilight hybrid. I'm only a couple episodes in, but...

    No. Saw the incredible Burt wonderstone which ended before evil dead. Even with xpress pass didn't want to wait in line. Did get to snap a couple pics if Bruce Campbell though.

    Evil Dead Remake

    Evil dead premiers tonight at Sxsw. It's the only showing, so I may try to make it, but will miss the interactive opening party, which is usually the best party at sx. Bruce Campbell isn't slated to show up either. Will update if I go see it. Some decent looking other films showing too.

    House of Cards

    Had taken a break at episode 11, then finished the last couple episodes - intense and awesome. I like that every scene has merit, and is not slow BS like so many of the shows out there now, like walking dead or the like where they spend an hour drawing out boring crap where they could cover it...

    Things that grind your gears about shows/movies

    Watched new Die Hard tonight (sucked), and one scene irked me,and they do it ALL the time movies/tv: Using binoculars to zoom in on an encampment of some sort, always military/security/works guys milling around in an open area and at least one piece of machinery, such as a forklift, tractor...

    Shameless

    Watched first season as it aired, but kinda fell off of it after that. Started to watch to UK version, and it seems to cover a lot more a lot faster. First few episodes of the UK version seemed to cover the entire first US season.

    Things that grind your gears about shows/movies

    Post things that bug you overall about TV/Movies. Hollywood writers have no sense of the rest of the world. When characters have jobs generally paying well under 100k (assuming they even have one to begin with), yet have 250k+ lifestyles, it really kills suspension of disbelief for me...

    Homeland

    Never mind which is a more dramatic target, Nazir hated the VP so deeply for killing his son he spent 10 years formulating and preparing his plan. This alone trumps any other argument regarding the location chosen to blow up people. I was really hoping Brody would die this season and they...

    BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE.

    While not a top 5 Nostalgic type movie, Rare Exports is a good Christmas movie (Foreign), hard to compare to anything else - it's a bit out there. Christmas Vacation for comedy and Die Hard for action are my top picks. Not sure on touchy feely drama movies, A Family Stone was set around...

    Back in early 2008 I had put in an offer for a new house built by a retired Marine Colonel and his son. The finishing wasn"t completely done, and I offered pretty close to his asking price. It came down to us bickering over $3,000 for some of the stuff that hadn"t been completed that I would...
