    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I don't even look at the TV during pauses anyways and usually just let the commercials play to go get a water or clean up kid toys. I've seen some ads with my Roku Stick that were either on the Roku TV channels or an app, can't even remember now, where when it is paused the show goes in to the...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    We tried to go back and watch Fat Man and Little Boy after this and didn’t make it through the entire thing. Oppenheimer was great though. It took a little bit to settle in to the time hoping but wasn’t hard to keep track once you get a handle on everything.

    Kinds of Kindness (2024)

    It is unfortunate Poor Things had the pedo angle because otherwise I actually really enjoyed it. You can do the whole Bildungsroman without resorting to kid fucking, but apparently not today. Also really enjoyed The Lobster too, but haven’t seen anything else of his.

    Road House

    Off the rails and in to the baby vomit filled lake of terrible due almost entirely to McGreggor’s acting inability and the terrible fight work cranked up to 11 (see above re: wooden stakes). When it is focused on Jake’s quiet drifter character type it is entirely serviceable as a bad/normal...

    A lot of rumors of cutting wet wood causing activations too because it changes the current enough to trigger the sensor. But I don’t remember seeing any actual evidence of it happening.

    Have done the exact same thing on two occasions. Once I had a bad kick back that was 100% my fault. Came inside immediately and wife said “that was quick. Thought you were going to be out there all afternoon.” On another occasion I was getting close to wrapping up and actually put the saw blade...

    A few years back when I watched this (post is somewhere in here) I also watched this at the same time. There was one other movie within this “genre” but I’m having trouble remembering the name. Doors was good though. Liked it. Don’t 100% remember Portals...

    Severance

    Just started this yesterday based on a recommendation from a friend. First couple of episodes are good. Missed this thread when it came out and have avoided spoilers other than to read that season 1 ended well.

    It'll be interesting to see what comes out of it. Other than the patents on the technology Sawstop seems to be okay with "whatever" liability may come from use. That's in quotes b/c I obviously have no idea or if it is even relevant. Knowing how litigious we are my guess is that there's risk in...

    Road House

    I'm fine with this too. The moral of the story is no one needs to see it. Bad Road House remake or standalone bad.

    Road House

    There’s any number of “loner walks in to a town” to clean it up movies. This could have 100% been its own thing and not a Road House remake. Give it a unique title and no one has any expectations other than watching Donnie Darko beat some guys up. It wasn’t great at all but it fit the mold of...

    Murderbot

    I’ve just finished all the audiobooks last week on my road trip back home and they're easily my favorite "new" series. Will possibly be jarring hearing someone else play SecUnit instead of Kevin Free, but I'm excited for this either way. Audible has both the standard audiobook version and the...

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt11540726/ Resurrection (2022).. for some reason the IMDB link isn't unfurling, or whatever you call it. This was pretty good. Slow burn and not a ton really happens except for Rebecca Hall going a little crazy. She really sells the movie and is likely the main...

    Alien: Romulus (2024)

    It could be an M41A variant but they really messed up placing the carry handle so far forward on the barrel. It makes it seem like a subgun and not a pulse rifle. Xeno pedia actually has some good information on the weapons that Armat Battlefield Systems developed vs Yutani. I ended up nerding...

    Bayside released a new single, Miracle. So it got me going down a rabbit hole of other songs I know named Miracle. Mike and the Mechanics realized it is all they need: A Day to Remember doesn't need a fucking miracle: Can't forget about Jon Bon Jovi: I was too young / not born for...

    Maestro - We lasted an hour or so. It was just boring. Masturbatory is another way, but not in a good way. As if Cooper just wanted this excuse to play a strange bi-sexual Jew and dove in head first. Maybe it gets better? The first hour was just him running around complaining about being a Jew...

    What did you just read?

    After watching Spaceman I picked up the novel it was based on, Spaceman of Bohemia. The movie only covers 50% of the book. After the point at which the movie ends, where Jakub is rescued, the whole thing shifts to a more personal story of Jakub and his return home and how his experience in space...

    Isn’t he super Mormon too? He’ll just transcend after death and continue publishing while he bangs his spirit wife and pops out spirit kids as he eventually ascends to rule his own real life Cosmere. We’re just reading his afterlife plans that he lays out for us to enjoy.

    Horrible life choices even after she dies sounds promising! Stuck in a hotel for this week so I watched: Night Shift (2023) - it was about a 5/10. Very standard, nothing crazy. Mediocre acting, script, etc. Wouldn’t really recommend, wouldn’t watch again, but was fine as background filler...

    We watched Air Bud last night. Kid loved it, cracked up at a dog knocking everything over and playing basketball. Had to look up afterwards where I knew the mom from because I totally forgot she was in Sister Act 1 and 2. Worth a revisit with kids for sure.

    TRU had a little bump and with ETH trending back up again I’m back at even $10k from a couple years ago. No idea how to even offload stuff these days or just trade for a stable coin and then move it out. Not that I will, of course. I’ll just watch it all go back down to $4k.

    That step is nice. I do have a long term goal of extending my driveway down to this area and possibly in to the backyard for a trailer / storage. Will take a look at those ideas and figure something out.

    Yeah, I'm most interested to see how they portray that. It was a major point in the book, at least the 1st one if I remember correctly, with the struggle session, humiliation, and deplatforming.

    Spaceman

    I was thinking about that last night while watching, and maybe it is just real easy for me to begin to relate to things in movies like this. Especially if you hang it against SciFi backdrop. Put this movie in 1600s Italy and it is entirely possible I hate it. Having said that, from a...

    We watched tonight, thanks for the recommendation. I thought it was amazing. That’s probably understandable as Solaris is also one of my favorite movies. Spaceman is really good. The idea of Adam Sandler as an astronaut with an alien spider is crazy but it works. Very quite, it has moments of...

    We just finished rewatching Season 1 and 2 of 24 and it was amazing that in episode 2 or 3 of Season 2 Jack kills an informant and cuts his head off right in the middle of CTU and apparently everyone is just A-okay with that. Gotta stop the nuke after all.

    Yeah, strong disagreement there. I think I have 4 physical versions of the book and it is still one of my favorite ever. I need to rewatch the other version though, it has been since it was released. It isn't like this version is "Baz Luhrmann's Count of Monte Cristo" with a soundtrack featuring...
