I think Bojack and F is for Family are in a contest to see which show can make me feel more depressed. These are not feel-good shows even though they are really good shows.

They wrote this intending for it to be the movie right after Sideways but things got switched around. Sideways was pretty damn funny very dark comedy and so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Good...good...just as I had forseen... I think JJ will feel the pressure to make sure the end of the modern (first modern?) Trilogy is strong and not a dupe of Return of the Jedi or any similar I'll. It probably also matters what KKs plans are long term past IX... If LJ is successful, coming...

Looks like an amusing sci-fi premise

Title: Downsizing Genre: Comedy, Drama, Science Fiction Director: Alexander Payne Cast: Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Kristen Wiig, Rolf Lassgård, Ingjerd Egeberg, Udo Kier, Jason Sudeikis, Margo Martindale, Neil Patrick Harris, Laura Dern, Joaquim de Almeida, Niecy Nash...

The Emperor as a pretty extreme racist is a subtle underlying theme in the Clone Wars. While the Jedi have members from tons of different races, the Empire is exclusively human with Thrawn as the only notable exception. Remember back in the Phantom Menace where Sidious openly derides the...

It's official... JJ Abrams writing / directing Episode IX

Im going to guess that the Director shuffle for Episode IX is going to result in a release slip to December 2019. While it was the intent that they return to the traditional 'May' release, it seems clear that Force Awakens, Rogue One, and now Last Jedi are making excellent merchandise bank...

I do like how this game is dealing with the big elephants in the room: namely the Traveler and the Speaker and the whole overarching original plotline made no sense after they gutted the story a year before release. I still think the original story was far superior, but at least they are...

Is it just me, or is Stormcaller just hands-down better than Dawnblade / Voidwalker? Between going full Emperor Palpatine as a super and the utility of Arc Soul I seem to be much more effective as Stormcaller. I'm also a bit surprised they didn't come up with a genuinely new subclass for each...

Wait, where's the golden chest map? I only see Cayde selling the four Scout Reports

What are the main Glimmer sinks? I've maxed out my Glimmer and all I see readily to spend it on are Cayde's maps. Just running around doing public events and such and I'm at 227 with really trying too hard.

I think it makes at least some sense. Certainly having kinetic and elemental as two different types is a big change which nevertheless seems sensible. Sniper and Rocket Launcher have more in common with each other than Sniper and Fusion Rifle.

I may have to look into that. Ripping out all the carpet has certainly helped a lot as well (the previous owners had a dog), also carpet is the devil...I am vehemently opposed to carpet in general.

I went with the not quite top of the line (I don't need a secondary washing machine in the top of the washing machine...) Samsung washer and dryer. I have horrific allergies and so having the steam settings for both washer and dryer is very nice. I've also found that the 'refresh' setting on...

Saw it at an advanced screening hosted by Broke Horror Fan and really liked it. When first written IT played on the 80s 'gang of geeks' trope that was heavily used in the 80s (Goonies, Stand By Me, Monster Squad, etc.) and so is very much a product of that era. The rampaging success of...

I did find myself accidentally leveling just by virtue of being caught in extended firefights and public events in EDZ. Playing a Warlock the new Rift abilities are very nice for this sort of content as it benefits everyone in the region and gets people coordinating through minimally conscious...

The core gameplay was already solid as hell so glad they didn't mess with it. Running around an open area killing tons of critters is so very satisfying. The classes do feel like they have more 'power' to them now as I find myself using abilities more often instead of hoarding them like...

I figure it must be due to the expected (and seen) server loads, but it does kinda suck that one of the core social aspects of the new release won't exist during the period when people are first exploring the content.

Puerto Rico is gonna get wrecked. As if they didn't have enough problems with a failing and financially insolvent government.

It did not seem to import my character look from D1, I did the intro bits up until you get full access to the Director and now I think I want to change the way the dude looks... seems to be no easy way to do this.

Fair enough Tony Gilroy really was the director of Rogue One. I still find it interesting that both TFA and Rogue One are so extremely polarizing. I have good friends who love one and hate, I mean completely loathe, the other.

Gonna guess they either convince Rian Johnson to stay for another go-round, or get Garreth Edwards to take a swing at Episode IX after the success of Rogue One

I dont think they can get away with not showing what happens to Ezra/Kanan. The purge has to be complete in order for the main movies to make sense.

Having seen the reveal of the toys for tomorrow I am most dissapointed with the "Resistance Bomber" seen in the trailer. The B-Wing was always my favorite Rebel fighter and I had hoped for its return in this movie...instead we get something bigger and significantly clunkier looking in the...

I just moved out of Somerville (was living with a good buddy of mine the last few years). I really wanted to stay in the 'ville but there was just no freaking way I could justify paying that much for a place. I also have to think that Somerville has to be reaching a property value plateau...

This might be exactly why they dropped that scene in the edit. That effectively never happened now and the viewer can easily believe that Sansa / Arya were in on it from the start. Hell they may have seen the response to the earlier episodes and made that edit to turn the fan theory into reality.

I've spent more time thinking about this than I care to admit. Through it all a few similar conclusions as above have occurred to me, mostly involving that we are just a spec on the outskirts of nowhere but also that we as a culture just now rang the doorbell and so it is somewhat unreasonable...

So in my house we spent the entire episode mostly yelling at the screen. I had claimed a couple weeks ago that we had entered 'fan fic' territory where we go a step beyond fan service into total ineptitude, but I clearly hadn't seen this week's episode yet. I understand that they have a...

Saw a Twitch bit on the combat system. Seems very Horizon Zero Dawn / Monster Hunter with fewer weapon choices and no magic / psionics stuff. I'm underwhelmed.

I would like to know more about the overall combat system / weapons / classes (if applicable) but their website seems bereft of info

I think anything other than purely mechanical deadbolt / latch counts as a smart lock. Definitely want something that has a mechanical component as the last thing you want is getting locked out of the house after the EMPs start bursting overhead (or like an ice storm)

Just thought about locks (closing soon) and remembered the discussion from a dozen or two pages back. Does anyone have an experience with / opinions on Smart Locks? Was considering that as an option to simplify things when having house guests / etc.

Law-wrangler is required in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I grew up in the midwest and while I was aware of the distinctive difference between there and the gothamite land of NYC I did not fully appreciate the fundamental different nature of government in New England. This is, afterall...

Fair point. This is in Massachusetts which, as a non-state, already has many quirks all its own like registered versus unregistered land etc.

Closing -- Lawyer's office or Registry of Deeds? I'm leaning towards the Registry of Deeds simply because there's been a couple of typographical oopses on the title paperwork already in the process and I'm having shit delivered the day after closing.** ** this was originally 4 days after...

The fin fixing reminds me of my aunt who went to the trouble of smashing all the fins on the condenser so that they made a smooth flat surface. She was worried that the sharp edges were a safety hazard you see. I tried to convince her otherwise, but who is going to believe a 9 year old talking...

If, by this, you mean the devices that place a fine mist of water around your compressor then please do not do this. The best case scenario is using this in a very arid environment where you can gain a benefit of evaporative cooling that bleeds excess heat off the condenser. In most cases...

The warhammer was pretty badass and he's bound to be crazy strong after all those years at the forge.

Ahh I had indeed forgotten... no one else seems to be mentioning it though whereas in the books it keeps coming up.
