    Have done the exact same thing on two occasions. Once I had a bad kick back that was 100% my fault. Came inside immediately and wife said “that was quick. Thought you were going to be out there all afternoon.” On another occasion I was getting close to wrapping up and actually put the saw blade...

    A few years back when I watched this (post is somewhere in here) I also watched this at the same time. There was one other movie within this “genre” but I’m having trouble remembering the name. Doors was good though. Liked it. Don’t 100% remember Portals...

    Severance

    Just started this yesterday based on a recommendation from a friend. First couple of episodes are good. Missed this thread when it came out and have avoided spoilers other than to read that season 1 ended well.

    It'll be interesting to see what comes out of it. Other than the patents on the technology Sawstop seems to be okay with "whatever" liability may come from use. That's in quotes b/c I obviously have no idea or if it is even relevant. Knowing how litigious we are my guess is that there's risk in...

    Road House

    I'm fine with this too. The moral of the story is no one needs to see it. Bad Road House remake or standalone bad.

    Road House

    There’s any number of “loner walks in to a town” to clean it up movies. This could have 100% been its own thing and not a Road House remake. Give it a unique title and no one has any expectations other than watching Donnie Darko beat some guys up. It wasn’t great at all but it fit the mold of...

    Yeah 7 books / short stories. The first four: All Systems Red, Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, and Exist Strategy were combined and released in one volume by SubPress. Then the larger full novel Network Effect came out, then another short novel Artificial Condition, and lastly another full...

    I’ve just finished all the audiobooks last week on my road trip back home and they're easily my favorite "new" series. Will possibly be jarring hearing someone else play SecUnit instead of Kevin Free, but I'm excited for this either way. Audible has both the standard audiobook version and the...

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt11540726/ Resurrection (2022).. for some reason the IMDB link isn't unfurling, or whatever you call it. This was pretty good. Slow burn and not a ton really happens except for Rebecca Hall going a little crazy. She really sells the movie and is likely the main...

    Alien: Romulus (2024)

    It could be an M41A variant but they really messed up placing the carry handle so far forward on the barrel. It makes it seem like a subgun and not a pulse rifle. Xeno pedia actually has some good information on the weapons that Armat Battlefield Systems developed vs Yutani. I ended up nerding...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Bayside released a new single, Miracle. So it got me going down a rabbit hole of other songs I know named Miracle. Mike and the Mechanics realized it is all they need: A Day to Remember doesn't need a fucking miracle: Can't forget about Jon Bon Jovi: I was too young / not born for...

    Maestro - We lasted an hour or so. It was just boring. Masturbatory is another way, but not in a good way. As if Cooper just wanted this excuse to play a strange bi-sexual Jew and dove in head first. Maybe it gets better? The first hour was just him running around complaining about being a Jew...

    What did you just read?

    After watching Spaceman I picked up the novel it was based on, Spaceman of Bohemia. The movie only covers 50% of the book. After the point at which the movie ends, where Jakub is rescued, the whole thing shifts to a more personal story of Jakub and his return home and how his experience in space...

    Isn’t he super Mormon too? He’ll just transcend after death and continue publishing while he bangs his spirit wife and pops out spirit kids as he eventually ascends to rule his own real life Cosmere. We’re just reading his afterlife plans that he lays out for us to enjoy.

    I didn’t even think to check Netflix while on the road. Duh. Usually waste my time in the hotel room on streaming sites for obscure stuff. I’ll check this out now when back home

    Horrible life choices even after she dies sounds promising! Stuck in a hotel for this week so I watched: Night Shift (2023) - it was about a 5/10. Very standard, nothing crazy. Mediocre acting, script, etc. Wouldn’t really recommend, wouldn’t watch again, but was fine as background filler...

    We watched Air Bud last night. Kid loved it, cracked up at a dog knocking everything over and playing basketball. Had to look up afterwards where I knew the mom from because I totally forgot she was in Sister Act 1 and 2. Worth a revisit with kids for sure.

    TRU had a little bump and with ETH trending back up again I’m back at even $10k from a couple years ago. No idea how to even offload stuff these days or just trade for a stable coin and then move it out. Not that I will, of course. I’ll just watch it all go back down to $4k.

    That step is nice. I do have a long term goal of extending my driveway down to this area and possibly in to the backyard for a trailer / storage. Will take a look at those ideas and figure something out.

    I need to install a drop rod on my double gate. We get some high winds coming through the area and this week it totally broke my totally not Chinese gate latch. So new latch going on and will supplement with a rod to help keep in place. The previous owner tried this, obviously, but i'd like to...

    3 Body Problem

    Yeah, I'm most interested to see how they portray that. It was a major point in the book, at least the 1st one if I remember correctly, with the struggle session, humiliation, and deplatforming.

    Yeah, I scrolled down and saw that after the fact. Thankfully still stuff I don’t care about. Just give me a nice quality limited signed printing to put on my shelf and I’m happy.

    Spaceman

    I was thinking about that last night while watching, and maybe it is just real easy for me to begin to relate to things in movies like this. Especially if you hang it against SciFi backdrop. Put this movie in 1600s Italy and it is entirely possible I hate it. Having said that, from a...

    Damn, missed the numbered copy edition. That’ll save me $325 since I don’t care about whatever a radiant pack is. About to finish up Defiant since I never got around to reading it. Not the biggest fan, this one feels way too teenage girl / young adult even compared to the others. Needed...

    Spaceman

    We watched tonight, thanks for the recommendation. I thought it was amazing. That’s probably understandable as Solaris is also one of my favorite movies. Spaceman is really good. The idea of Adam Sandler as an astronaut with an alien spider is crazy but it works. Very quite, it has moments of...

    House of the Dragon

    We just finished rewatching Season 1 and 2 of 24 and it was amazing that in episode 2 or 3 of Season 2 Jack kills an informant and cuts his head off right in the middle of CTU and apparently everyone is just A-okay with that. Gotta stop the nuke after all.

    The Count of Monte-Cristo (2024)

    Yeah, strong disagreement there. I think I have 4 physical versions of the book and it is still one of my favorite ever. I need to rewatch the other version though, it has been since it was released. It isn't like this version is "Baz Luhrmann's Count of Monte Cristo" with a soundtrack featuring...

    Yeah my high school monitor was a 17” Viewsonic. Can’t find the model now but it looked similar to the PF775, but that was released in 2000 spa free years too late and mine wasn’t “perfect flat,” hence PF. Still, that one was listed at 48.6 lbs and I would put it in the passenger seat of my 1986...

    Little necro (pun intended), back after posting this I did get the Locked Tomb SubPress versions (along with Floralinda), but it was before Nona was published.
