Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Jim H - September 08, 2026, 03:55:57 PMThe Guyver - hadn't seen this since I was a teenager, rewatch in honor of Screaming Mad George's death. It's... Not good. His creature work is great, but the film is thin. Passably entertaining and not boring though.
My favorite part is the bad guy's getting a little bit of side development that goes nowhere. I wish there was more of that as they managed to be more interesting than the lead.

Television / Re: What TV Shows Are you Watc...
Last post by Jim H - September 08, 2026, 03:49:14 PMMy wife and I just watched the first two seasons of Silo in like a week and a half. That was a lot! I've read the books it is based on, and the further it goes the more they diverge. Personally, I like the book version better, but if you care more about interpersonal drama (parts of the book are a bit like The Martian or Project Hail Mary, with people engineering solutions to their predicament - this is largely excised), you'd probably like the show.
Another thought, Common is in it and he's bad. I actually thought he was decent in John Wick 2 and in that Western TV show he was on, but man, he's bad here and has a lot of screen time. Doesn't help that the Alexandria Riley as his wife is MUCH better.
When you finish that one, I'll be quite interested in your thoughts, it's a good one to hear people's opinions on. I will say the last few issues of the manga are worth reading after the anime, for contrast. For the most part they are quite close though.

Quote from: Rev. Powell on September 08, 2026, 11:38:51 AMStarted the "Death Note" anime. Good pilot, looks more coherently plotted than a lot of anime. Not sure how they can develop the premise for 37 episodes, but I'm down to find out.

Weird News Stories / Re: Pabst Blue Ribbon Wants it...
Last post by sprite75 - September 08, 2026, 03:03:28 PMThey found the trailers but the beer is still missing.
QuotePolice recovered two stolen trailers about 30 miles from Runcorn, England, but their Guinness cargo remains missing. Investigators now place the haul at approximately 880 barrels worth £115,000, or about $155,000. Lancashire Constabulary located both units around Lathom in Skelmersdale. Cheshire Constabulary has announced no arrests.
Investigators determined someone left the first trailer near Hall Lane around 3:05 a.m. Tuesday. Evidence placed the second near Gillibrands Road at approximately 12:07 p.m. Wednesday. The truck hauling that equipment reportedly pulled out in front of a silver or white Renault Captur. A student driver operated the vehicle with a driving instructor present.
Detectives want to speak with both Renault occupants about the encounter. Officers also seek Skelmersdale residents who noticed suspicious activity around either location. Businesses should report unexpected offers involving bulk Guinness purchases. Authorities believe criminals may try selling the missing beer through the black market.
Detective Sergeant McClatchey welcomed the trailer recovery while stressing that the search continues. "These kegs are stolen goods that are being sold on by black market criminals," McClatchey said. Investigators urged anyone questioning a seller's source to contact authorities. Tipsters can call 101 and reference incident number IML-2408641.

"Free Electricity" by The Go. One of Jack White's first bands before he formed the White Strips, he left after one album. This was The Go's post-White follow-up. It was shelved by the label in 2001 (but fans circulated bootlegs) and just released now. It's actually good, not sure why Sub Pop didn't want to release it. Garage band/proto-punk/psychedelia rock that legitimately sounds like it could have been made in 1969.

Last post by Rev. Powell - September 08, 2026, 10:21:28 AMThis is a sensitive topic with flame war possibilities, so tread lightly. That said...
I've actually never seen THE MATRIX (I came close when it was on Netflix), and suspect I'll go through my life without ever seeing it. I did see their BOUND, which I remember liking, and CLOUD ATLAS, which was interesting but flawed.
The reason you don't see as many THE MATRIX memes is because the movie is 25 years old, ancient history in pop culture terms. Nevertheless, I still see plenty of them.
I am sure the "bullet time" technique was far more influential than the Wachowski's gender identities.
I am 99.9% certain that no one has ever performed a study on the Wachoski's effect on film school enrollment, so any thoughts about it are pure unfounded speculation. That said, I believe that for every person who was inspired to attend film school because of the Wahcowski's sex change, one person decided not to attend film school because of the Wachowski's sex change, for a net effect of 0.
