    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    There was a massive traffic jam 2 days ago that significantly delayed my trip home. An enormous amount of road-construction, coupled with the opening of schools, I thought, created a perfect storm that I could not get around using my usual side-road alternatives. I assumed an accident...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    He also did the Star Trek reboot movies which were, IMHO, awful, derivative, brainless and wholly un-Roddenberry. M Knight made some good movies in the beginning too...

    Scenes from movies that make you cry?

    Most recently? It was a TV show and I can't believe I really cried... OK-- spoiler ahead. so stop reading now if you don't know. Also, feel free to thrash me as I am unequivocally ashamed that I did cry (but then I got mad). Last episode of "Veronica Mars" season 4. Can't remember ever...

    Okay, I know, I am bringing on the "barfs," but I think she is kinda hot! But I like that look.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I just had a meeting at a company with someone who is pretty inexperienced in her job. Their organization was requesting a large project be constructed. I don't have to take their work. I don't need it (or really want to be involved with them). But it is a moderate sized project (which their...

    The Expanse

    Awesome!!!! I finished book 8 and am waiting for book 9. Expanse is one of the best sci-fi series (novels and TV) period.

    The Fast Food Thread

    We just got a smashburger nearby. Three of us had a classic smash. We also had smash tots, sweet potato fries and smash fries. 2 milk shakes (no malteds; we asked). The burgers were okay but TINY. The sweet potato fries were good. The smash fries were greasy and overly flavored with...

    Watchmen

    Wow. Does this ever look BAD... I think there is a film school in New York that has an assignment to make a trailer of a film cross-genre (google "The Shining Trailer Comedy" if you want to see what I am talking about an get a good laugh). But, back to the point-- how hard is it to make a...

    Swamp Thing

    I am 5 episodes in and this show is a shit-ton of fun. A true horror show too. Yeah, the infectious disease stuff is pure stupidity. Abby takes some serious risks with potentially deadly toxic agents and doesn't even wear gloves. But damn, she's hot. I bet she can act, but her medical...

    Stranger Things

    I watched the entire thing... Honestly, I would recommend to most people who liked the first season to skip it. Its not that it isn't entertaining, but it certainly isn't fresh anymore and it isn't clever (at all). In fact, I felt kind of bad by the end of it. In fact, without spoiling...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    3 days before my big meeting with people arriving from all over the country, I get popped in the eye while bicycling (bee got UNDER my protective sunglasses). Now I have big, bloody, horror-movie eye! You think I can get the deals done? I might be able to spin this positive, but I also...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yes-- AWD. And Tire rack doesn't install, they were referring out to another mechanic. What a pain in the ass. Plus they have NO customer service. Just a counter and a computer. If you ask questions, you irritate them (at least the one by me). The only question they want to answer is the...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I purchased Hollow Knight. It is a little too hard for me, but it is a TON of fun. Really good game with a couple annoying traits-- 1) whenever you get killed you have to start all the way back from your last save point (benches, and they are few and far between). 2) Hard to get geos (the...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    The roads are a mess and I got a flat tire after striking a massive pothole at 25mph on a local road in a 4WD vehicle. Dented the opposite rim too. The spot was a known issue (had been reported multiple times and was even on Dominos Pizza's warning list). The town knew about it and said "call...

    Swamp Thing

    The way I read the stories, of the $85 million budget, the produces were counting on $40-$67 million in grants. They ended up with $12-$13 million: "Out of the $31 million the state sets aside for each fiscal year for the grant program, Swamp Thing qualified for up to $12 million, which only...

    Swamp Thing

    Yup-- cancelled after one episode aired. The excuse given is that the show was 50% funded by "tax breaks" from the state of North Carolina. So, shouldn't the tax payers get to decide to keep it or axe it? That is a very strange model for financing a content-driven pay streaming service. I...

    Swamp Thing

    First episode was solid enough. Great production values. They did not give much time for a romance between Abbie and Alec. His "origin story" seemed rushed. Loved the nods to Carpenter's "The Thing." BUT- why does NO ONE sound like they are from Louisiana or the Bayou? Why are the infectious...
