    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    Never was a fan of the 70's black demo movies, but the 90s ones were great. I have seen Boys N the Hood, Menace II Society, Friday, and Above the Rim numerous times. The only thing I have seen, in todays political climate, that is like those movies is the TV show Atlanta (well, mostly like Friday).

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I vaguely remember something about the Corolla having extra support in it's unibody frame that makes the car act like it has a built in roll cage. They knew it wasn't the prettiest car, so they made selling points of extra safety, fuel economy, and price point.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    If you are going to go down the safety rabbit hole then you will eventually end up with a Volvo. If you are going to helicopter parent it, and they are injured in an accident, you will feel guilty with anything less. So, you can tell them to choose the Corolla or one of the ugliest, but safest...

    Rick and Morty

    The episode was alright, but they had a run of three episodes of season 1/2 quality so it's mediocrity was probably more noticeable. It was an artsy episode where they tried some different shit that fell a bit flat. Tossing weird shit out there to see what sticks is how the show got to where it...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I couldn't find any music I liked so I just left the radio off for 80% of the game. The driving in the game was terrible, so I just used the bike and skipped as much as I could. Otherwise I might have looked for some mod radio stations or seen if I could set up a custom one.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    It looks like it is building up to an explanation that the elves will all need to wear a piece of mithril on them, or they die. Like the writing room was sitting around asking "Why did the elves make the rings of power?" and instead of "well they made magic rings because they are helpful" (or...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Watching that in game cutscenes collection has me thinking of just how bad the prepatch "content" is going to be. Also, lulz at those Dragganz models. After Mists I hated Pandas, then Legion came along, and I still hated Pandas, but now, I will still hate seeing Pandas, but those Drakathyr...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I like the white with blue over the blue with white on the Mustang. For whatever reason the blue accents on the Mustangs complement the car more than any other color combo I have seen. My white Trans Am GTA really grew on me. It hid both dirt and small scratches well and I kept mulling over...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    The writers/producers are going to say that they implied time passing on Gladelfreals timeline by showing troops getting trained and totally_not_Aragon making a sword. That sword surely took a month to make! They also showed a map montage of the riverfolk/hobbitz that actually gave the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I would imagine if the car is just sitting without being touched for a decade+, with no maintenance, you might get dry rot in some of areas, starting with the rubber. In general though, desert cars are the best cars you can get, especially if the body has a large amount of metal on it. The sun...

    If cars are available up north, that you cant find down here, it might be worth it to look nation wide (new cars only, fuck anything driven in salts, or used cars if they are in AZ, NM, CA, NV). If you are willing to pay asking price, it shouldn't take much time over the phone to call ask them...

    Should send a message or give a call to a Tulsa news outlet (I assume that's your "local" channels) and see if a scummy (looks like a bait and switch to me) car dealer is something they would like to do a story on. Usually these types of bait and switch set ups are at fly by night used car...

    The Woman King (2022)

    Funny you mention Braveheart, because it was pretty loose with historical accuracy, as are most Mel "history" films (We Were Solders is the most accurate, but the ending is still wrong/incomplete). It's just not as bad as: lets forget about the whole slavers thing and sell them as heroes to...

    Andor

    Wasn't Kenobi bait and switched, where it started as being his show and ended up being the Reva and Leya show? The most egregious reports were on the Kevin Smith He-man remake, where they kill him off mid season or some shit. Disclaimer: I didn't watch either though, just read the threads on here.

    Andor

    Absolutely no contest between this and Wheel or LotR, but that's not saying much. It's the first live action show, since maybe Mando, that I might watch more than once. I am still suspicious that Kathleen Kennedy didn't insert some of her shitty writers into the writers room during mid...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    2000s had some good music, it's just seems harder to find (as in discover it). Probably because we were all busy or some shit. Almost all the music I know from the 2000s is either a 90s band (Foo Fighters have more good music after 2000, than before it), or was used on the TV show Entourage.

    Lies. You see, when a company is struggling and you, as a board member want to get out (sell your shares), you appoint a woman, preferably a black lesbian woman to be CEO. Now, magically, the company is harder to criticize and journalists go easier on the new CEO when they make the media...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    A bit of different nitpick, instead of the same ol' same ol' on repeat; here is a video going over the practicality of the armor. Just another thing to compare to the movies; when WETA went so far with trying to get costume accuracy right by modeling their costumes after real medieval armors.

    Members of congress have 45 days to report their trades, so if that's what they are making an ETF on, it will be way behind the ball and possibly help the politician's trade positions. You can see what congress is reporting here: https://www.quiverquant.com

    Yea, those are hard to compare, being one is 4k miles "new," and the other has 70k miles on it. Don't know the market to know if $31k is a fair price. Prices should keep coming down on sports cars until at least march and car prices in general are trending down but shit can happen and change all...

    Some shows take a season to get going. The three I can think of off hand are TNG, SW: Clone Wars, and SW: Rebels. If the underlying IP is good, there is always a chance to hang this up, then come back in a couple years, if sentiment improves after the second season is over. I am still rustled...

    Yesterday, SPIR filed for a mixed shelf of up to $180 mil and an equity distribution agreement up to $85 mil. Doesn't that mean they are planning on diluting shares?
