    I thought the premiere was good; it's def a show where the first episode is a bit of a wash as everyone's introduced. Glad to have it back; it's a great time to watch shitty people have bad vacations and hopelessly crush on Carrie Coon in the process.

    I love this for you. Borrowing my friend's game boy and Red in the late 90s was my introduction to rpgs; I'm on the record already in this thread, but I feel deep annoyance at the franchise's movement away from and simplification of RPG mechanics.

    I don't know if you saw this, but I didn't: the first post on this thread has been updated by @Heath with all the handles collected: 👀 I'm user #11 here. Hot damn.

    I was out of reception for a few days and came back to multiple texts about the Pioneer Square shows this summer. Solid lineup, but I think Jamie XX is the must-see for this cat

    I was a harsher on it yesterday on first listen, my feelings have upgraded to apathy.

    An...amount...of my workday has been given in to the discovery of the Cinerdle2 Battle mode: https://www.cinenerdle2.app/battle You play online head-to-head just throwing movie associations back and forth until one of you runs out of time.

    They showed some contemporaneous and thematically-similar trailers, and The Arrival was on there: Never heard of it before this; Sheen looks like Steven Segal meets Gordon Freeman here.

    Contact (1997) is playing at a small indie here in PDX; the wife and I went last night, and it was surprisingly packed for a Monday. Like 30-40 people, pretty full for that space. Lots of families, all the kids were locked in to what I'd say is a pretty talky movie. A guy and his little daughter...

    Oof, the price is something after looking at so many adapters like this. Though the screen handles the issue which has kept me from dropping ~$12 on those dongles: how the heck do you pair a BT speaker with a device using one of those dongles?

    Aux, HDMI, and optical. I'm averse to running a cable from beside the couch (where the projector/ps4 reside) to the speaker below the screen. We're very resistant to visible cables; I have an OCD spouse and I agree things look better when you can camouflage the electronic effluvium. I'd drill a...

    Gattaca had high-school me raving that Jude Law was the actor.

    I don’t mean to slag on it very hard; for all my musings and misgivings it was a 3.5-4 out of 5 read.

    I can see why people might be more receptive to this movie than Star 80, though. And yeah, it’s pretty blunt; it’s spraying the audience with commentary from a firehose. That was more feature than bug from my seat.

    I think part of what locked me into the satirical version of the world being depicted was the idea that someone could have a successful decades-long career as a televised aerobics instructor, and that they'd be supplanted, not by a different fitness trend, but a younger, sexier aerobics...

    Shot-in-the-dark question here, but does anyone have experience connecting their PS4 to a bluetooth audio device? I use a projector and screen; before moving my record setup fit perfectly in the corner where the screen went, so I just ran an aux cable from the projector, under the couch and...

    Book 2: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams I’ve been contemplating annihilation recently, and considering the absurd circumstances of our present fate, thought a bit of silliness was in order. I’ve read the Guide before, having had it personally placed in my hands by a...

    I'm very curious to see how HP as a (sigh) property fares in a generation or so; this is purely anecdotal but for most of the kids in my life there's a distinct phase where they read the books, watch the movies, then move on. Maybe things will change with the (sigh) tv series, but it strikes me...

    I get why the band would want to keep the recognition which goes with the name, and listening to the live album without Isaac you can see their musical contributions are as much part of the dna of those first two albums. But i also agree with you, and mentally they’re New Order. They’re missing...
