    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    Valarien in the City of 1000 Worlds was exactly this. That opening sequence with Rutger Hauer narrating and Space Oddity playing was one of if not the best openings to a movie I have ever seen. Then nothing but frothing shit followed for two hours. If they had made the opening five minutes...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Man was I off on this weekend with my predictions. I guess 17 guys on IR was too much for the Packers to make it through a game, but even with that we basically lost because our place kicker completely fucked us again and left seven points on the field. Rams Panthers game was the best one to...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    More detailed: Round 1- Packers squeek past the Bears, Jags pants the Bills, Pats edge out the Chargers (this could go either way), Texans defeat the Steelers and both teams beat the fuck out of each other in the process, and the Eagles sneak past the corpse of the 49ers Round 2- Denver eeks out...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    The only team that looks dominant late in the season in either conference is the Jaguars and they are the most complete team. Denver is just too damn inconsistent on Offense for my liking. At least three teams going are cooked due to injuries (Packers, Chargers, SF) and every other team in it...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Regarding the Packers, all things considered (this was supposed to be an off year) despite the disappointing end we exceeded expectations. We made the playoffs (and will probably get bounced by the Bears) and had a decent showing on both sides of the ball until injuries decimated our entire...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Vrabel won't get coach of the year with Ben Johnson making the Bears look like contenders. Pats were already on an upward trajectory starting last year. Johnson took a team that was expected to finish last in the division and will likely get all the way to our customary NFCN Championship loss...

    Pluribus

    The location shooting is part of the logistical challenges of this show, too, I have to imagine. Stupid overly elaborate sets that need to be built for one time throw away scenes not only drive production costs up, but they consume valuable time. Slow Horses, which has a larger cast, action...

    Depression

    Congrats on getting the pipes blasted out. Take it one day at a time and see where it goes without being too positive or negative. A good schlonging can do wonders for depression in the short term. Hope things keep going your way over the long haul.

    I am "I read this comic book when it came out" years old, actually. I am in the rare group who actually prefers the movie ending. And of course that had to be one of the most perfectly cast movies of all time.

    Work and choir bullshit finally died down so did some movie watching the last week, just taking in random movies I had not seen. Palm Springs- Good romcom if you dont try to overthink the sci fi part of it. Has the lonely Island guy and the girl from Penguin, who may not be the most attractive...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Remember who AI is mostly being developed by. And lets not even talk about the AI thats really just a building full of poo slingers pretending to be AI...... AI derives its knowledge from human knowledge. Once people stop knowing how to do anything themselves anymore, the fucking wheels come...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    1 Shot Maelle is semi workable fairly early, if you get her weapon at the first chance in the bush people village by using her in the final Arena fight. The main thing are the Pictos from the secret Arena, that weapon, and Stendahl/sacrifice HP skill combo. All are fairly easy to have by that...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    There are two optional bosses that require perfect parrying, but you can get around most of the rest without being perfect. Simon just one shots anyone he hits, even at L99 and is there for the asians and twitcher players. His windows are very narrow and reads are deliberately misleading...

    Fallout

    Enclave had a small base and mostly got their shit pushed in by House, if I recall the game. The young gay doctor guy who was at the Mormon compound (want to say Arcade?) would be the only one potentially still alive.
