    Underrated science fiction movies

    I did meen outland, but outlander was also sweet, I will give. +1 for pandorum and Riddick. Ridick and pitch black are on regular rotation and pandorum was awesome with a pretty sweet twist. Also I disagree that all the sequals to Starship Troopers were bad, the most recent animated one was...

    suround sound amp

    Thanks for the advice, I know absolutely nothing about this subject, I probably am looking for an AV receiver, all I know is I have speakers in the ceiling and wires hanging out of the wall. I have heard of onkyo before, ill look around at those and pioneer.

    suround sound amp

    I can say for sure they are Boston, I think they might be these, at least that is what they look like. http://www.bostonacoustics.com/US/Pr...ostonAcoustics) There are 3 up front, 1 right in the center in front of my tv, then 2 in the back of the room that are a little smaller.

    Owning and maintaining an inground pool.

    New house has a sweet pool, so far it has been super easy to maintain, I add to the floater every couple weeks shock every weekend and clean the skimmer every day. 2 houses ago I had a pool from hell, plaster peeling and crack somewhere in the pipes under the cement, it was a mosquito eater...

    Awesome kids toys that you play with

    When the new thundercats came out I bought most of the retro versions that came out and played with them at my office, I also love the DC funco pop toys. I can't wait for the kid to be old enough for ninja turtles, go joes and legos.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I'll look into it, been using a generic recipe for a few years and got good results, thought I would try someone Keller's, everyone raves about bouchon. Thanks

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Finally tried Thomas Keller's macaron recipe from the Bouchon cookbook and fuck two batches into the garbage. Weird consistency too doughy and not sweet enough for me, gonna go back to the old recipe. Anyone else tried this and gotten good results?

    Man of Steel

    I personally enjoyed ROTS until the end, "I have the high ground" fuck you they just got done jumping 80ft in the air, one of the worst cop outs ever along with the ending of TDKR. Fucking blood boiling now... Only other thing ROTS was missing for me was the invasion of the Jedi temple, I would...

    Suggest a book based on my recent favorites.

    Ok now I can agree, second book definitely was not up to the first one, seemed disjointed at times and took a bit longer to get going anywhere. I think it was suffering from middle book syndrome, fitting in pieces to bridge to the next book which based on the excerpts will be really good.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    shit I didn't even think about number 4, I really like the movie and i was really glad they didn't Kill Khan, but i was a little upset that they re-froze him, was kinda hopeing for abandonment on deserted plant like in the original.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Just saw this, I really enjoyed it, Khan was one of my favorite characters in the old show and movies and I think cumberbach did an amazing job reimagining him, he is growing to be one of my favorite new actors.

    Suggest a book based on my recent favorites.

    I loved prince of nothing, though so far the new trilogy is a little slow, I know alot of people don't like it and it does read like a history book sometimes. I'm gonna keep recommending Richard K Morgan's Land Fit For Heroes first book The Steel Remains. If you don't mind the gay sex it is...

    How I Met Your Mother

    Still haven't seen the season finale but anyone else think, based on the sad future self (robots vs wrestlers) episode that ted Ted is telling the kids this story all by himself because the mom dies while they are young? He did say if he knew then what he knows now he would spend any more time...

    What did you just read?

    Probably my favorite series/character of all time, I love this series. The second one is very different in tone but still awesome, the third one goes back to the roots a little and is great though Altered Carbon is in my opinion the best of the series. If you enjoy these also check out Black...

    Berserk - Golden Age Arc II

    I agree it has it's slow parts, I skimmed alot of the Griffith vs the emperor, I really hope it gets back on track again, painfull to wait so long for something you will read in less than 30 mins.

    Berserk - Golden Age Arc II

    If you really want to get into it grab the manga, AFTER YOU WATCH THE ANIME, it is really great and will fill in all the blanks. It goes way beyond where the anime ends and is till going now. Kind of an undertaking to catch up but worth it if you like the anime. I for one am really hopeing...

    What Ham said, arc 3 came out in Japan in February and I haven't seen a whisper of it subbed anywhere, if anyone has a lead it would be appreciated, I love the anime and you get alot more in it, but having seen that, and read the manga these movie versions are super fun eye candy while I fill in...
