    The Netflix Thread

    Decided to give the HBO one a shot (Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage), and holy shit, if you really want to watch one, go with the Netflix one. The HBO one is fucking garbage. I'm only 30 minutes in and I'm about done. From some dumb bitch with purple hair "there were just so many white men...

    I like just about everything Jake Gyllenhaal is in, but fuck that I really don't want this.

    The Netflix Thread

    94 was memorable for the mud. Apparently 99 for the fires. I wonder if the PPV element is why we don't remember it. It was kind of segregated off. Still seems like I would've remembered the fires and rioting and shit from the nes afterwards, but nope.

    The Netflix Thread

    Didn't watch the HBO documentary for comparison, but the Woodstock 99 series was pretty crazy. Neither my wife nor I really remember it at all which is strange. Like, I vaguely remember it being a thing, but I didn't know how big of a shit show it turned into, which you think we would have since...

    I guess I just forgot how bad the last couple months have been, because even with this rally, we're still only where we were at the start of June. This is quite the hole we're still in.

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    Kind of surprised, but my wife just said she didn't want to renew. Apparently our original 3 year sub (for $160ish or whatever it was) ends in a few months. Wonder how many people end up not renewing as theirs come up soon as well. Not sure how Disney does their accounting, but that could do a...

    It's funny, a week ago I was thinking to myself that I'd sell once it hit $10 again since it kept hitting it and dropping back down. For some reason I decided against it. Granted, I'm still massively red on it.

    Home buying thread

    Don't forget that rents are still astronomical compared to mortgages. I'd say there's probably a faction in this country of renters looking to buy just to save money that never existed before. Rents in my area are like 75% more than what the mortgage payment (with tax and insurance) would be.

    Seemed kind of mixed. Can't tell if that's overall good or bad.

    Ashes of Creation

    PRX was a fun experiment, but in my opinion that militant guild shit is something I'm just too old for. I don't need some assclown telling me I need to show up at x time or else. Our super chill Lost Ark guild managed to still be one of the top guilds. Granted, it's not really a PVP centric...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    I too have been using Usenet for the last 8 or so years, as I ended up with like 3 DMCA notices in a very short time period for downloading Veep. I was one away from them shutting off my service, and where I was living there wasn't any other ISP. So I stopped fucking around and went the Usenet...

    It's why one of the best quotes about the market is "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

    What We Do in the Shadows

    Night Market stuff was fun. Very much a Diagon Alley type of thing. Laszlo and Colin still the best part. Him shitting all over the fairy tales was great.

    Demand is up, potentially (and probably likely), because the cost of borrowing is significantly lower than inflation. Everyone is pulling buying forward because it's cheaper to do so than to wait a year and eat the inflation cost on top of it. It's why I keep repeating that inflation begets...

    The Terminal List

    I thought at some point they explained that Talos was all (or mostly) former SpecOps guys. Regardless, they were innocent. You could also argue that Jai Courtney's security guards were unnecessary casualties. Sure, they fired back at him, but he initiated contact. They were just providing...

    Finished it. I really enjoyed it, up until the final episode where it all went off the fucking rails. But prior to the last episode I enjoyed all of it, even if it was a bit unbelievable.

    The only way this is impacting inflation is our bi-weekly aid packages to Ukraine for a few billion. Maybe stop pissing our money away?

    You should know better by now that after market doesn't matter. Shit is going to tank today, big time. The only thing that might make it trade sideways is everyone waiting on the Fed, but after that it's a red day.

    Better Call Saul

    Haven't watched the video, but that seems like a ridiculously short timeframe. That'd basically mean Saul got moved, immediately had a heart attack, and then started scheming again? Literally no time laying low?

    I like total market over strictly S&P 500. That way you get all the small and mid caps that it misses. But in the end it probably matters very little.

    The Terminal List

    Only just watched the first episode, but you can definitely tell they had a SEAL as a consultant. Not that I really know fuckall about how the SEALs operate. But it's close enough to what I do know that it's super believable. I remember many, many years ago that when we did combatives they...

    I've only watched the first two, but the prison shit is incredibly uninteresting. The "True Detective"-esque Greg Kinnear parts are the only thing interesting. And I imagine as it goes on, there will be less of that and more prison.

    Even if I were still into this MCU thing, that phase 5 lineup seems super uninteresting.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Only watching any of this new Marvel shit if this guy is playing Doom. And he gets to rap through the entire movie, preferably with some cartoon characters. And not even edit, I haven't even posted this yet, but apparently he died in 2020. So fuck that idea.

    Colin Robinson remains the highlight of the show. Adolescent Colin was great. Kind of don't love this nightclub storyline, but it's not the worst either. Colin maybe going to singlehandedly save it.

    Just finished the first season and this nails it. I'd also say (at least so far), there's all kinds of inconsistencies. Like in the last episode of season 1, they keep talking about how security is so high, and yet...little teenage illegal immigrant just waltzes into the facility when they've...
