    The Flash (2023)

    I will admit that there's a symmetry at work here. Keaton and Batman 89 was what really launched the idea for many that big comic book heroes (outside Superman) could be done into big movies. Having Keaton show up in this as we are apparently nearing what many consider the twilight age of...

    Or maybe iEye , and sell it to naval officers and pirates. If the world is going to achieve these solar and electric car goals the amount of silver and copper needed, among several other metals (rare earths and normal) is going to be insanely past anything we as a society are geared up to...

    Found out last week that I have a recurring cluster of cystic formations on the inside of my left leg. Going to have to have surgery at the end of this monthto clear them out so they'll stop the "Grow, burst, drain, repeat" cycle. Apparently letting them do that just makes them bigger each...

    Babylon 5: The Road Home

    OK, I've never had more than a passing interest in this show, which is odd with my otherwise deep sci-fi leanings. To get this, I figure I should do a rewatch of the original series? (already conveniently on my media server) I heard there were also movies after the series and before this? Is...

    The Flash (2023)

    Honestly... and this would be a very Gunn thing to do. The next flash movie is set where Miller is in it for around 10 minutes.. just long enough for the mantle of the Flash to get passed over to a guy named Wally West... played by Mr Reynolds... On another note. If this movie ends up bad...

    The Flash (2023)

    The one thing I will say that would justify a "full reboot" is that in the Snyderverse movies we have Superman obviously well into middle age and having been going at this a while. We have a late middle aged Batman (which would put him post active career, Pre-Miller dark knight mode). If you...

    The Flash (2023)

    I have to agree with @Chukzombi on at least one point here. Using the Flash and a "Flashpoint event" storyline they have the absolutely perfect legit plot device to build a new and blended universe. The problem with the Snyderverse was not the actors (outside of the whack job starring in this...

    Yeah, the gaskets on the ancient one also need either a good deep cleaning, or replacement.. I might have to give the power washer a shot it seems. Here's a fun bit.

    The real trick is to just have an old one that never dies.. that stares at you daring you to try to outlive it... Like a taunting evil god and keeps your ice cream frozen for you. I have one of these (I think I mentioned it in this thread somewhere). It is a 1997 Kenmore, Old school layout...

    Curious as to who is playing who in that lineup. Assuming Hemsworth is Prime. That makes Bryan Tyree Henry (??) Megatron? But I keep hoping for a Laurence Fishburn Megatron

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    Finally got around to watching this tonight. I honestly thought it was a very solid flick. It's a pity that in the pre-release press they had idiots going off on how much they were going to enjoy emasculating all the male characters and turned a ton of people off from watching it, or at least...

    I'm a bit concerned about this. The company I work for (and own a sizable bucket of stock in) has been one of those rallying very nicely. No reason to think that fundamentals are going to go south on us, but I am concerned a "sinking tide sinks all ships" factor is going to beat my nice little...

    What can I do in Texas or nearby?

    First, it will depend on what you and your daughter consider fun. I agree with most that the 2-3 hour drive from Houston to Austin is worth it for both food and a number of sights in Austin to see. Dallas/Ft Worth can be nice for some things. In the winter there will also be Stars hockey...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Correction. We still need Luke, we DON'T need Mark Hamill. This pains me to say ,as someone for whom the character as portrayed by him was a huge influence on my life growing up (Star Wars was literally the first movie I remember seeing in a theater), but they do need a recast Luke. Someone...

    I think for a lot of people it was that the first was just to different from everything they had seen in the genre before. And that made it a special movie for a lot of folks. But subsequent stories in the same style will never be "like your first time"....

    Scraping data from news/social media sites?

    Depending on how you go about analyzing and what use you're going to do with it, have you considered a tool that simply crawls the site and stores a local copy for "offline viewing" then go at it from that front? I'm looking at a similar idea because I want to keep an offline archive of certain...

    It's like how I just don't get this new trend for "rustic" roughly finished wood being used for shudders and patio columns. To the point they'll take normal columns and box cover them in cedar apparently??? Then they wonder when in a couple years it looks like crap.
