Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 05:16:58 AMICE SOLDIERS (2013)
In the freezing wastelands of Northern Ice World, all the female scientists wear low cut tops, while frozen immobile android supersoldiers check them out.
the line "everyone's worried about atomic bombs going off, but no one cares about these weird guys I've found" is said in earnest.
that's all you need to know. devolves quickly into generic walky-talky shooty action mush. 3/10

Equalizer 2000 (1987)
https://youtu.be/U7aoFhwNjbA?si=og4M0MMeUnsXn7S7
So, a hundred years after world war 3, Alaska is now a desert, and all the oil is controlled by "The Ownership", a militant government... Meanwhile, they have to deal with rebels...
Not wasting any time with story, Slade, who works for The Ownership, follows a group that's sent out to rescue his father from a rebel attack.... But when they get there, an overly ambitious lieutenant betrays the others in hopes of making room for a promotion, while the rebels capture Slade....
Slade escapes, & rescues a woman from some mercenaries, & she takes him to a camp of "Other" rebels who want to be left alone, where he builds a gun with a dozen barrels on it, which not only gives him superior firepower, but also gives him the ability to stand out in the open while shooting....
There's also a group of local indians who fight to be left alone....
Fast paced, & as I said earlier, doesn't waste much time on story, making for a fun watch....

Last post by Alex - February 22, 2026, 08:42:23 PMNight 3 in progress, get this done, one more to go, and it is onto 4 off. I think my sgt here is the first guy who has understood that I really don't want to get promoted. Normally, every year, I have to fill in a brag sheet that lists all my accomplishments in the last year and why I should be promoted. He's said he'll be happy enough just to reuse my one from last year, which, quite frankly, would be a huge relief as what other people think of as things they can use to justify promotion, I tend to see as the basic stuff I should be doing as part of my job. Karl, for example, felt that it didn't matter if I didn't want to be promoted. His job was to write an honest assessment of my years' work, and if that got me an offer of promotion, it was then up to me to turn it down. I mean, that is fair enough and true, but it was still a pain in the butt going through the motions and filling in the paperwork.
Funny, I remember when I joined up I did want to go all the way to Warrent Officer, but when I saw the extra work that I'd be doing in each rank to get there, I just decided the effort wasn't worth the reward. I'd watch sergeants coming in an hour before everyone else, and know that they'd still be working an hour or more after I'd gone home, as well as quite often having to do admin work at home. Not much incentive to go up a rank for the small extra increase in wages and pension for that. Once I met Kristi and got married, whatever chance there was of me changing my mind vanished. Getting to spend time with my family is just too much more important than anything the job could offer me.
One thing I was always keenly aware of was that one day, no matter how much work and effort I put into my job, it would no longer need me. No matter how much you put into any job, you are never irreplaceable and the instant you aren't needed, you are out the door anyway in the vast majority of businesses. Hell, our government cut our numbers while we were involved in two separate wars. If that doesn't tell you that your arse is out the door the instant you are inconvienient I don't know what does.
Watching the whole sending hospital ships thing to Greenland. Yeah, other than the only hospital ships the US has being in dock for rework, and Greenland having free at the point of use healthcare. I bet he has followers who still believe him. Quite frankly, at this point, I can't help feeling that anyone who still supports trump should be banned from going anywhere near schoolkids until they can prove they aren't a danger.
Still, its not an entirely bad concept. I mean if any countries out there have floating asylums, I think the US could surely do with them for help.
I still think it's a shame I won't be able to take Ash over the US for halloween, but it just isn't worth the risk. A grandmother visiting there legally with all the correct paperwork was arrested and held for six weeks. Kids being kept away from their parents... yeah thats just...
Been reading stuff about the Australians in Vietnam. Anyone interested in the Vietnam war should really read about them if they haven't already, and the different way they fought.
Started writing again, working on finishing a story I left off a bit over a year ago. Hopefully I'll get it finished this time.

Last post by lester1/2jr - February 22, 2026, 04:17:40 PMLast night, I watched a couple episodes of Space Angel (1962) (they're short). It's just typical space ship adventures, but I was transfixed by the primitive/ ugly animation style.

Last post by Alex - February 22, 2026, 03:41:12 PMThe air is cold, but not enough to threaten snow or ice. I still think we'll have one more blast before winter is done with us. We've not had many storms this year which is good.

Last post by claws - February 22, 2026, 02:41:47 PMQuote from: bob on February 22, 2026, 10:48:38 AMI like this one as it takes my original idea and makes a little more grounded
I wanted mine to take place on a beach even though logically a movie with an evil shower curtain shouldn't take place there
I thought a bit of "structure" would make it a tiny bit more cinematic. Nothing against your original concept, it is very trippy and weird haha

Last post by Rev. Powell - February 22, 2026, 01:57:02 PMI retuyrned to my birthplace (not really hometown, since I moved away when I was still a baby) of Louisville almost 20 years ago, to be near my family. It's... OK. Not a place I would choose to live if I could select anyplace in the world, but it's nice to have friends and family nearby and it has most of the conveniences of a city.
