    Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024)

    That's gotta be a real kick in the dick for the Furiosa people. It's just shy of $150 million worldwide over almost 3 weeks.

    Lost Ark Online

    I agree with all that, but I'm not sure I'd revisit this one ever. Just thinking about having to do all that shit on my account again sounds like AIDS. It was definitely fun for the time I played it though.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I don't know why this always comes up on this board. Happened a lot with Diablo IV and Starfield where I said I'm not paying $80 to play that piece of shit. "wHy ArE yOu So BrOkE?!" I'm not broke because I don't spend my money on stupid shit like a subscription to a 25 year old game. The...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I was just looking for something to kill some time, and a trip down nostalgia lane sounded appealing. I could load up Lost Ark or New World and save myself $15, and not play a game that looks like absolute dog shit.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Thought about giving this a go. Apparently you can only play these progression servers with a sub? A fucking $15 sub to a 25 year old game? Fuck off.

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    Yeah, the whole thing really needs to separate theaters from movies. They're two connected businesses, but one of them needs the other to survive and the movie making business kind of doesn't need theaters anymore. They've obviously run the numbers and think they'll make more money by throwing...

    Hit Man (2023)

    It was decent. Felt like it kind of fell apart a bit in the last 30ish minutes though.

    Borderlands

    Looking at the posters and I just have to laugh at Kevin Hart as Roland. Isn't he like 5'4" or something? Holy shit, he's 5'2" in fact.

    I know we have a crypto thread, but I feel like every year this one comes up and I always laugh. The bitcoin people will always talk about the reasons crypto is viable as an actual currency and store of value, and then everything always comes back to using it as a way to make money. Which flies...

    I mean, I'd argue he had way beyond fuck you money from the first go around. Didn't he make somewhere around $60+ million?

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Good timing. Just so happened to read the AoC thread this morning where MNM was mentioned, and I'm like "oh yeah, I forgot about that game." Read the last half dozen new pages, and saw a stress test for today of all days. Guess I'll give this one a shot for a few hours today. Was watching that...

    This might be in contention for one of the worst movie titles I've ever seen. Makes me bored just reading it.

    He's got beyond fuck you money at this point. I mean, I obviously can't speak for everyone, because there are certainly people with more than him that continue to sell out. But he also doesn't seem like the type to forego his own personal compass for an endorsement deal.

    I mean, when they shut down the trades to the public the last time so the institutional investors could save their own asses, it really showed that the whole game is rigged. Doing it a 2nd time? That's ballsy. Especially when the stakes are so low all things considered.

    Trigger Warning (2024)

    Sebastian Bach was on that lineup, too. It really made me sad. He looks like a 55 year old fat lesbian. And I just think, "what's the deal with these people still wearing these stupid 'rocker' outfits decades later?" They just look so retarded.

    Trigger Warning (2024)

    Weird, because I was watching some stuff about the Welcome to Rockville festival that took place a few weeks ago in Daytona Beach. L7 was playing. Simulation is weird, man. Why would L7 come up twice in a month in 2024?

    Eh, he also socially engineered the whole thing though. WIthout getting thousands of Redditors (and Twitch watchers I think?) onboard with the plan, it never would've materialized into anything and he'd have lost it all. Really, that's the story of it all. He could've picked any over shorted...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Kind of surprised they didn't mention the 60s, because I swear they're the ones I heard if from. I thought they had said they went through a phase of mega spending movies that were epics, and eventually that phase gave way to the renaissance of the 70s. I don't know that history will repeat...

    Which is even crazier when you consider they're not doing initial flight training. Like the new boss likely had a good 12-15 years of flying F/A-18's already before that. I mean, he's probably not pulling ridiculous G's, but he's also no stranger to it.

    Atlas

    Acting in that trailer looked atrocious. I don't know why anyone would even bother trying to watch this after that. Feel like the only memorable movie she's been in was Out of Sight, and I honestly don't remember her acting ability in that, but rather George Clooney's.

    There have been so many Blue Angels documentaries over the years, but this one was incredibly well done. Most likely just because technology is improving so you get better shots. There was a one week showing in IMAX in Pensacola but we weren't able to make it, which after watching, is a little...

    Nice. Just remember, only ever buy winners. That's how people get screwed is when they start buying loser companies. Like, why would you even buy loser companies at all?

    So here's where I use my gotcha. Why aren't you a billionaire? If it's an issue of having too small of a portfolio, why aren't you leveraged out of your ass throwing everything you have at the market? If you can beat the market and it's easy peasy, you should be extravagantly rich. I mean, you...

    You're using covid as an example which is an incredibly rare one off event (at least, hopefully). When do you rotate into or out of tech? Pretty much anyone could make a very convincing argument that tech is incredibly overpriced right now. When does your magic 8 ball tell you it has run its...

    This is just market timing though. You're saying to rotate in and out of sectors as if you have some magic ball that tells you what future returns will be, or if the sector is about to start lagging.

    Time Bandits

    Hacks can get a little preachy (although it may be on purpose to make fun of it?), but they had a bit on this this season. The young liberal character is like "this is offensive, you can't have little people auditioning to be elves," and the older character just asks "why?" There's not a good...

    We didn't have women at the battalion level or lower in 5th Group. As far as I know, all of the other Groups were the same. They were all at Group (essentially brigade), and even then, I think it was probably less than 10 in all of 5th Group. I got out at the end of 2008 though, so maybe a lot...

    I kept trying to think of one, because I have no doubts that movie actually has been made. I'm not entirely sure about the "big buff dudes" part, mostly because I also just haven't watched any of them. But I'm just going to throw out Sex and the City and Pretty Woman as being the two best ones I...

    I went back to college when I was 25 after the Army and had to get a place off campus. The place wouldn't let me rent without a guarantor, and my wife (of almost 5 years at the time) wasn't sufficient. So I had to call my mom and ask her if she'd sign off on it, despite me having been living on...
