    The Video Thread

    This guy is hilarious. I'm crying watching this shit. He's got a bunch of other videos just like this one, too. Making fun of all of these Chevy ads.

    That's actually pretty interesting. Thanks for the link. I do like his spin on it.

    Losing your Job

    My old business still exists in Pennsylvania. My father owns it. I was merely the vice-president (in title only). I mainly did sales, though. I live in Hawaii, though. After 20 years doing, sheet metal, I realized it wasn't a passion. And that I didn't even know what my passion actually...

    Losing your Job

    It's a strange question. I've never really thought about what I "like" doing, because I've always had my life pre-planned out by my father who owns the family business. I was eventually going to take over when he died, but then we moved and it changed everything. I realize that I really like...

    Losing your Job

    Haha, you're not kidding. I have a friend that's a police officer. He said the #1 crime out here is crystal. #2 is actually child trafficking. That's on the DL though, because the politicians don't want it to be known because Hawaii is a state that is 100% dependent upon tourists, which is...

    Losing your Job

    How do you choose a new career? I'm only 35, and I have 20 years experience working with my family business. That business was Sheet Metal Fabrication, where I slowly grew from the kid sweeping the floor up to a required position needed for part production, up to sales, then eventually the...

    Berserk

    I'll be honest. I like Berserk as a concept, but the first 2 episodes of this season have done absolutely nothing for me. Granted, the animation is great. I like the rugged look of the show. The fighting/violence is good as well. But the story the first two episodes was more of the same as...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    I'm under the impression at this stage of the game that Marvel fully trusts in their product (for good reason), so they allow the directors to do what would be best for the brand. The universe isn't ending in the foreseeable future, so there is ALWAYS time to add more at a later date, rather...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    “He’s not. He’s not in Infinity War. But he will be a part of the future Marvel cosmic universe and a pretty important part of that.” Good news.

    I enjoyed episode 3 of Tsuki ga Kirei. I'm glad that the kid manned so quickly and it wasn't 8-10 episodes of endless moments that could have been. We'll see how it goes, but it's a good start.

    The Magicians

    That was a very good close to the 2nd season. I'm still very much hooked to this show. I wonder how they will fix things for 3. Good job on Quentin from being a hero to a complete failure in a matter of minutes.

    They should have used Tusk from Fleetwood Mac. Or maybe Chip's version.

    Burr does a great job with this show. I loved the first season.

    Yeah, I definitely get that vibe also. It was a good episode with a pretty interesting concept for the show. I don't understand how knowing what the kids are would change your disposition towards them, though. Sure, the kids are born just to die, but you wouldn't shit on them for doing that...

    Fast 8 (2017)

    I saw this tonight. It was a dumb movie, but I still enjoyed it. Not a dull moment. It would have been so easy to stop this hacking bitch, but that would have stopped the movie all together. Oh well, at least it was a fun ride.

    Justice League (2017)

    I just saw the trailer for this movie for the first time in theaters and honestly, it looked a lot better than when I saw it on my computer. I'll definitely go out to watch this. It'll be the first I didn't wait for dvd to see.

    Billions

    I liked the new Billions a lot. Looks like Axe is taking the first steps to returning to his old self. It may blow up in his face, though. Especially with Chuck being so hot on his tail. Not to mention that Laura is PISSED. Wendy did a number on her. I wonder if Taylor will crumble under...

    Gundam Thunderbolt has a first season? I see that the very first episode came out back in December 2015, but episode 2 didn't come out until a month ago. And they're only on episode 5 now. Was there something before this?

    Autonomous Systems

    Now that I live in Hawaii, I see Tesla all the time. The old sedan as well as the new suv. They're fucking everywhere. Probably encounter a dozen or more per day, every day. It helps that every single shopping center has lots of free electric car battery charging parking spaces.

    The green Mercedes looked good. I had a motorcycle that color 10 years ago. It was beautiful.

    Ok, it seems that I'm watching a lot of shows this season, compared to only 2 or 3 last season. Fortunately, they come out throughout the week, so it's not too weekend heavy. Sunday: Alice to Zouroku - Third episode was much better than the 2nd, in my opinion. They're introducing some more...

    Fast 8 (2017)

    Both 1 and 2 were complete hunks of shit. 3 was "mostly" shit as well, but they changed the narrative from a stupid movie to at least a stupid movie trying to do some cool shit. It wasn't until 4 that they really took off on the new plot of being a group of criminal crime fighters. At the...

    Aiz is out now. That's the new DanMachi show. I'm not a fan of whoever did the subtitles. Here's what the episode looks like, sub-wise. Almost every line has a | put in there. I"m sure they meant that should be a line break, but it looks bad.

    Baby Driver (2017)

    The first trailer was a lot better. This doesn't really say anything else. But I guess this isn't really a movie that needs a trailer. Aspy kid drives well, but listens to his ipod. Bad guys use his driving to pull off crimes. Kevin Spacey is his "boss" and organizes the bad guys. That's...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    He would be great for that. Plus, he's already on a TV show, so appearing in other TV series won't hurt his acting ego the way it might with RDJ or the rest of the Avengers.

    The Magicians

    It probably had something to do with the Druggie baker guy. He was very "cool" when the news spread, almost as if he was expecting it.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    There's so much shit that happened in this season. Can you believe it actually started with Ghost Rider? That story arc feels like it was so long ago.

    The Magicians

    Well, the latest episode was a good one. I really enjoyed it overall. Lots of shit went down. Very full episode. I liked it a lot. So much shit has happened. There are quite a few new plots for season 3. And I think there's still one more episode for the finale, but this one could have...

    I liked Axe's tear down of Chuck. It was good. But Chuck was right, it's Axe being thrown off balance. This is bad.

    Well, Alice was looking for the shade in one of the alternate realities. So maybe they'll get lucky. And hell, maybe the dragon can send them back a second time for Julia's real shade.

    I haven't watched this yet, but I've heard good things. I might get a chance tomorrow. The director did a nice background release to make it popular in the hood. He would drive somewhere and drop a VCR tape that had blood on it. People would pick it up, thinking some shit went down...
