    Alien: Earth

    Noah Hawley has his occasions of brilliance, but he cannot hold a complicated tale together. I thought Legion was on it's way to becoming a once in a generation bit of genius writing. But he writes like a juggler trying to keep to many balls in the air and it all falls apart.

    Saltburn (2023)

    I'm glad I got my review before that post (I am banned from Twitter/X). I would have been upstaged. Spot on review!

    Saltburn (2023)

    Central character is (presumably) downtrodden working class. He's gay (or at least a closeted gay). The upper class are just wealthy. They have no ambitions or meaning to exist except to employ (essentially) white-slave butlers and gardeners. There is at least one person of color (who is also...

    Saltburn (2023)

    I am angry with myself for tolerating this piece of shit. It is everything I disdain about modern art films. Fags, nihilistic white people with no purpose for existing, noble workers on the periphery, astounding set pieces reminiscent of other great works of literature and film, and a central...

    There is some validity to that point... BK is trash. But I do like the Whopper Jr's sweetness.

    I thin that CFA is just too high and mighty. App gives damn few rewards. There are almost never coupons for the stuff, plus when you try to order ahead, their app in invasive of your data (tracks you and where you are and what the traffic is on the route you are coming) and then tries to have...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    So much for the nexens... The tire blew out at 70 mph on the highway between a massive merger of 4 highways... It blew out. Then my engine starting smoking (I hope that it isn't blown). Then 3 hours for AAA to pick me up. Cars where coming within 6 inches of my vehicle going about 100mph...

    Man-- I gave up on the lore a long time ago... It's one of the original science fiction TV shows (if not THE original). It KNOWS it can break any rule it wants to because it IS science fiction. Wanna bring back Tom Baker? Sure-- let's do it. Want to bring back Tennant? sure... I think that...

Satellites are becoming cheaper and easier to launch, with satellite light pollution remaining unregulated. This photo shows their impact, with 85 minutes of satellite...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Nope. No wing and it wasn't much louder than stock. Favorite ticket of all time: 29 in a 25 in Waitsfield, Vermont in the WRX.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    That was my other car-- BETTER in the snow than just about any other car of it's size. Another fun as hell car. BUT-- unlike the VW Golf R, the car comes with just too much cheap, shitty crap that needs to be replaced (or modified) for it to be at the level of the Golf. Cheap as shit interior...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The heated steering wheel thing is a bit of a mystery to me too-- it comes on (but not full force as if you put it on manually). I have had some of the driver assist functions altered with an ECU (APR) tune on both. I am not a fan of the "car decides for itself" how close you can get to...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've taken the older R through white-out, mountainous terrain. It's damn good with snows, that is for sure. The summer Pilots that it comes with are super fun, but when you have to travel and conditions are extreme, I go with the snows. If you don't have to, then all-seasons are a reasonable and...

    Besides-- even though it is kind of stupid, the VW voice interface is actually great. It's too stupid now to try and find the defrost "button" or set the temperature for the interior (especially at night; engineering geniuses at VW give you overhead lights that you can never shut off but NO...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It is just about the most fun-driving car at it's price point. I love them both, but the black one is getting on in miles (120K+) and needs a few things. I drive a ton. I wish the winter wheel set fit both of them, but it doesn't. 17" wheels don't clear the calibers in the 2023, so I bought a...

    I have had 2 of them. I have the 2023 (and the side mirrors don't retract like that). It is the most fun, greatest car I have ever owned. You'll love it. Good choice. My only beef with it was the is the deletion of almost all buttons and knobs in favor of an extensive touch screen interface...
