Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - February 15, 2026, 04:18:14 PMThe Clones (1973) - kind of a like a superhero movie without the superhero. I was on the fence a bit, but ended up enjoying this one. It has an extremely low google viewer approval rating and to say reviews are mixed would be an understatement.
A scientist is cloned. The whole movie is him escaping the evil cloning corporation guys and also trying to alert his girlfriend that the guy she's sleeping with is his clone, not him. Receding hairline cop and his Muhammad Ali ish partner endlessly fire bad shots and people always try to inject him (the scientist) with stuff. Eventually, the action leads to a showdown at an empty amusement park. Somehow, all the rides still work but there's no one there.
In a way, it's a conspiracy movie, but much better ones would come along. What I liked most was that if it had been made in, say, 1979 I think it would have had a lot more extraneous dialogue and cop show energy. Definitely had more of a relaxed vibe, script wise. The actually kind of hot girlfriend could have been featured better.
3.75 /5 I could handle seeing it again. low budget, but they worked everything out okay.

Weird News Stories / Re: don't mention the V-word.....
Last post by claws - February 15, 2026, 03:19:08 PMQuote from: zombie no.one on February 15, 2026, 03:11:41 AMI suppose a take away from this is that it's not the actual audible formation of the word itself which is offensive, because every time you say the word 'vinegar' you are literally saying that word, and yet nobody (at least nobody sane) bats an eyelid.
ditto every time you say the word 'country' you are technically turning the airwaves blue.
so ultimately all the controversy is 100% about the semantics behind words, rather than the actual words themselves.
maybe that's a very obvious and self evident point to make? feel like it often gets lost in all the surrounding commotion though....
The exhausting part is the current 'edge culture' that thrives on this exact technicality. There's a specific type of person who loves to play with phonetic proximity, using words like 'vinegar' with a metaphorical wink, just to see how close they can get to a slur without 'technically' crossing the line.
They treat language like a game of 'I'm not touching you,' pushing boundaries specifically to provoke a reaction, then retreating into 'it's just a word' when they get called out.

Last post by claws - February 15, 2026, 03:07:50 PMThis week we had three days of 10°C, followed by a couple of days below zero. My weather app is currently sending a "snow warning" message. Curious of how much snow we will get hit with.

Last post by indianasmith - February 15, 2026, 02:06:36 PMSEND HELP (2026) - A mousy little executive from the Strategy and Planning department of a mega-corporation is stranded on a desert island with her uber-obnoxious millennial boss after their corporate jet explodes over the Pacific. Turns out she is a survival nut who had trained for years to be on SURVIVOR, and her skills keep them alive and fed - but egos clash as the boss continues to be a total jerk and her patience wears thin.
This one took some unexpected turns but was very enjoyable. 5/5

Last post by Alex - February 15, 2026, 12:29:20 PMLast day at work, off to Glasgow to watch Avatar tomorrow night. I am not especially wanting to go. Although I like the group, I only bought tickets because Kristi said she liked them and I thought it would be a nice anniversary thing to do, but it turned out she'd mistaken them for Avantasia and does not like their music...
Listening to a play-through of a Call of Cthulhu campaign I've been thinking on running (Beyond the Mountains of Madness). They've gone off the rails a bit towards the end with a celestial sheep guiding the group (not something I recall from reading through the adventure). I prefer my cosmic horror without jokes myself.

Rated R for "some brogue"
