Last post by drifterr - June 20, 2026, 11:31:20 PMI just started another Skyrim run myself after not playing it for years. Somehow I'm already getting sidetracked by random caves instead of doing the main quest.
Every Skyrim character starts with a plan and then ends up doing everything except that plan. At least that's how it always goes for me. BTW i also playing @tag game in this school holidays.

Television / Re: What TV Shows Are you Watc...
Last post by Jim H - June 20, 2026, 11:23:38 PMI started watching the Mentalist. I'd seen a few episodes of this when it originally aired, and my recollection is that Simon Baker was terrific in the lead and it was pretty fun, but fairly slight. That's pretty accurate, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. It's kind of like a more dramatic Psych, incidentally.
A big thing that made me want to go back was rewatching a clip I'd seen on YouTube where the lead character talks with someone who got violent revenge, and the character is just very pleased he did, zero regrets (good performance too). The moments of the show where it handles the idea of violent revenge seriously are pretty interesting - the lead character's wife and daughter were brutally murdered by a serial killer, and his main motivation is to kill him painfully and personally. He will often talk to characters who were seeking revenge about how they feel now, and the answers vary. This is something I find personally a good topic, and is something I've tried researching before - it's surprisingly weak, with lab experiments that read like very poor experiments for real personal revenge.

The Killings at Outpost Zeta (1980)
https://youtu.be/cA9M5sjFnt4?si=ToKs5JbYchwFhcMp
In the future, an uptight group of control room operators in red pajamas are trying to contact a rescue team on a distant planet..... This is the third rescue mission to fail after contact was lost with a research station on the planet..... So anyway, the planet is a critical launching point to exploring the rest of the universe, so naturally, a fourth suicide mission is assembled.....
So, six astronauts in red pajamas are briefed, fly off & go over procedural mumbo jumbo.... They find a distress beacon with a warning not to come to the planet, but they go anyway...
Once on the planet, they find the bodies of the research crew & rescue missions in various stages of decay, with mysterious rock in them.... Then, in a pretty stupid "DON'T GO IN THERE" scene, one of the crew is killed, & well, y'know..... Alarms start to go off, the crew starts to get unconvincing cabin fever....
Looks to be a halfway decent VHS rip.... The audio is pretty bad, & it doesn't help that a couple of the actors tend to mumble.... The space suits are basically motorcycle helmets with hoses, & the ray guns look like dime store novelties, but the rest of the sets & props look passable..... Some scenes go to black like they're supposed to be going to a commercial break.....

Press Releases and Film News / Celebrating 20 Years of Blu-ra...
Last post by claws - June 20, 2026, 03:57:56 PMToday marks a significant anniversary for home cinema enthusiasts: 20 years since the official launch of the Blu-ray Disc format.
On June 20, 2006, the first Blu-ray players and movie titles began hitting the shelves, forever changing the way we experience high-definition media at home. While streaming has since become the dominant way many consume content, the arrival of Blu-ray represented a massive leap forward in quality that collectors and cinephiles still celebrate today.
A Legacy of Detail
When Blu-ray arrived, it wasn't just a step up from DVD, it was a revolution. Bringing 1080p resolution and lossless audio tracks like DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD into the living room meant that for the first time, home viewers were getting an experience that truly mirrored the clarity and depth of a theatrical presentation.
Over the last two decades, we've seen:
The rise of the "Director's Cut": Enhanced storage capacity allowed for deep-dive special features, commentaries, and documentaries that turned every disc into a comprehensive film school lesson.
The 4K UHD Evolution: The foundation laid by Blu-ray paved the way for 4K UHD, HDR, and object-based audio formats like Dolby Atmos, keeping the physical media format relevant and superior in technical fidelity.
Preservation: In an era where digital content can disappear from streaming libraries overnight, physical media remains the gold standard for long-term ownership and preservation.
Cheers to the Format
Whether you are a completist with shelves of amaray cases, or you just appreciate the uncompressed beauty of a reference-grade transfer, take a moment today to pop in your favorite disc.
