Off Topic Discussion / Re: Alex's even longer post th...
Last post by Alex - September 02, 2026, 07:08:52 AMAsh seems to have picked up a liking for 1) The Rocky Horror Picture Show and 2) John Carpenter films. He's watched The Thing and The Fog with me, and last night I discovered him watching Big Trouble in Little China town.
I am not going to complain about that.
Kristi's health insurance has found a way out of paying her bill. Since she still has a US bank account, she can file for bankruptcy there, and it doesn't affect my earnings or pension over here. Still, this is all in ahead of us. I can't imagine that anyone involved is going to decide the money involved isn't worth the effort of going after and just forget the debt. A few thousand maybe, but when its over a hundred thousand... not so much.
I've been talking with various support services, got some advice about how to explain things to Ash. Ordered a book that was recommended. I was hoping for a fairly indepth treatise on advice on how to best explain to him, but what I got was more or less a kids book that I guess I could just hand to him, let him read it and figure it out on his own. I'll talk with him this weekend when I am off work.
Told Kristi the other day that while we don't know how long we have left together (hell, does anyone? After all we aren't promised anything other than a beginning and an end, not how long we get between the two), that even if it was just one day, that it has all been worth it. I still feel like, despite everything that Iam winning at life, as much as it is possible to do so. Got Lilly Beths anniversery in a few weeks. Booked time off for that because, well I'm better out of work for those days as I've learned each time I've made the mistake of being in for it. September is my least favourite month of the year. But once its out of the way, its the run up to Samhain, and then Yule, both of which I am looking forward to.

Last post by Alex - September 02, 2026, 06:47:55 AMAI isn't exactly under control of its 'owners'. It's entirely possible this is a rogue thing, or that if not directed at a specific target they just randomly review movies? Anyway, I am just guessing here.

Off Topic Discussion / fine example of IMDb review bo...
Last post by zombie no.one - September 02, 2026, 03:25:36 AMcan't say I expected a nearly 20 year old movie that was already showered with accolades by real people to get the 'review bot' treatment, but I was just scouring the IMDb reviews for HOT FUZZ (2007).
there are a whole bunch of consecutive reviews published on June 21st this year, which are all roughly equal length, they all seem to start off like they're somehow already halfway through the review, and all basically look like they were written by AI.
usernames:
wendymarvell-66
greyfullbuster-55
mirajane-00
lisana-44
lexus-33
lucyheartfelia-22
plus a few more similar...
clicking on their profiles reveals they have all basically reviewed the same bunch of other movies, including THE DRIVER, THE DOG STARS, THE NIGHT EATS THE WORLD etc etc
wouldn't it be very easy for IMDb to stop this happening?
also like I said a movie like HOT FUZZ does not even need the 'review-maxxing' treatment, so why are they there?

Not likely, it was a publicity stunt.
Quote from: LilCerberus on September 01, 2026, 02:56:25 PMBud Light is a bit more palatable than PBR. I've enjoyed it on occasion. I like different brands though.Quote from: HappyGilmore on September 01, 2026, 02:46:03 PMWell, that's the brand he brought up a few times early in his administration, albeit, he had a Bud Light at the Beer Summit.....Quote from: LilCerberus on September 01, 2026, 12:41:15 PMEh, Obama seemed to enjoy it.......Really?
