    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Musical episodes are dangerous. Magicians did it in a way that almost made sense and was memorable and hilarious. I'm pretty sure every other show I've seen try it, its been a jump the shark moment where I no longer want to watch the show. Havent watched this one yet. Maybe I'll skip it. Its...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    I can. The hulk. In fairness though I don't know if the actor or writers are more to blame for him

    Are you just trolling? Humans only arrived in the Americas very recently -- within the last 10-20 thousand years. The continents ecosystems essentially evolved without humans. Humans are not native to the Americas, its a pretty straightforward statement.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Fair enough, I was rustled, I am not gonna deny it. I think everyone in the thread, even that dude who loooooves chattin up the cashiers, would have been rustled by it. It probably lasted a good 7 minutes. If transcribed into text it would have been longer than a short story, but shorter...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This rant is about the people who still use those non-self-checkout aisles in the grocery story. There is something fucking wrong with them. This isnt about the policy or what self checkout is like or anything like that. I'm talking about the people. Stick with me. So yesterday I had to use...

    Superman & Lois

    WTF? That dudes great in everything I've seen him in. Dunno if he can pull off the intellectual side of Luthor but he looks the part, once bald, and hes a good actor.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    This was fine. The music was the only really bad part and judging from this thread, some people actually liked the shitty music. So if you liked other GOTG I wouldnt pass on this one just because of this thread.

    Superman & Lois

    Just finished catching up on this. Its a funny mix of CW soap opera and legitimately good Superman stuff. Sometimes they hit just the right tone and it was like a good Superman comic. Then its scene change and its a cringey teen drama. Really dislike the casting change in S3, recasting one...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I do something similar. I got hit by fraud a lot after I opened my small business. I started funelling all payments through Divvy and keep the cards locked when not in use. Divvy lets you freeze and unfreeze cards with a click, and set up individual virtual cards for different vendors. Not...

    Loki

    Loki was great, even on the rewatch. No hesitation at all about season 2. Hate girl Loki's new haircut but I guess you gotta expect some haircut shenanigans in multiverse stories.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    hatchets really don't work well for this application. You need a bone chopper. But +1 to removing the head, if you have any interest in doing it quickly and humanely thats the only way.

    No, my bad. I could have sworn I read you talking about some kind of patty mold thing. Ice cream scoops are useful multitaskers, no criticism there

    eh, maybe they just like it rough? thing is, the hens get into position at the drop of a hat. Some of our hens get into position if a person or dog walks too close. hows a rooster supposed to resist that?

    The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

    One of my favorite Roald Dahl stories. Sounds like they changed it slightly for the movie but not offensively so.

    Eh? I don't recall the Bible has much if anything to say on the question of whether souls even exist prior to conception, let alone any details about that existence.

    What tickles your pickle

    There are literally people selling 40-50 lb bales for $8-$10 per bale. Yeah, we can find round bales (~500-600 lb) in the $60-$80 range too. That level of greed is why I say, get fucked. We needed rain anyway!

    What tickles your pickle

    I love it when a seller's greed causes them to lose it all. Just hilarious. This year we ended up needing to buy hay (usually we are net producers but thats a story for the jimmy rustles thread). As a result I've been watching craigslist and my wife's been watching FB markets. Hay is a...

    The suburbs are just cities with bigger lawns and less crime, but all the same fundamental problems as cities. What this country needs is for people to return to actual small towns, the normal units for human civilization.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    If you don't like Loki falling in love with himself and then betraying himself and in the process breaking the multiverse, I don't know why you watch comic book movies at all. That show was not just ok, it was very good. It was rewatchable good, first MCU thing since Endgame thats been rewatchable.

    Snow White (2024)

    I don't get this trend to not cast actual little people in the roles they were born to play. First Wonka now this. I mean, I guess its all part of the same thing as casting severely unattractive black chicks in roles intended for attractive white women. But this is just weird. Its like, this...

    Can AI actors stick to acting and refrain from expressing political opinions? Then they'll be better than human actors.

    Ancient Civilizations

    Archaeology is barely better than Ufology interms of making wildass speculations based on very little evidence. They find a sharp rock and all of a sudden think they know something about early cultures or people. Not just speculate or imagine, but "know". I'm not even skeptical about the...

    Wonka (2023)

    Watched that ridiculous trailer and it deserves a second post. Lets skip right over the obligatory magic black girl and just go right to the fact that they're casting full size people as Oompa Loompas, denying Little People the roles they were born for. That is some fucking appropriation right...

    Wonka (2023)

    Thing is, I think Chalamet would be great casting for a young version of Johhny Depp as Willy Wonka. The problem is that Johnny Depp Willy Wonka fucking sucked. A movie about young Gene Wilders Wonka might be fun though. Have him start all bright eyed and optimistic, and by the end hes the...
