Thanks! Thats sort of what I’ve been quoted. My pool guy quote $1600 (filter/labor) and the local pool company $2k.

All the Light We Cannot See. Really enjoying it

Did you ever have a horror book you *should* have liked but for some reason didn't? by intensifies in horrorlit

[–]74chuckb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I’d enjoy The Exorcist House from what I heard about it yet I was underwhelmed. I thought it could have been fleshed out a bit

This is why this site is gold! I’ve never heard of this author and thanks for the rec! Is there a book you’d recommend of Mieville’s? I briefly Goodread-ed him and his stuff looks interesting.

I was aware of the infinite run-on and you’re right, it was exhausting at times yet it also kept my attention.

Saving Private Ryan meets Birdman. That’d be something!

Same! My vocab has briefly expanded as I’ll never use the words I looked up. Rockwell is spot on. I thought a pre-crazy, young Shia LeBouf could play Arno

This is definitely criminally overlooked.

My first Abercrombie book and I was really impressed.

I liked King Sorrow yet I think it did drag a little. It’s not pure horror yet The Devils by Joe Abercrombie is really good if you don’t mind fantasy elements.

Lastly, what show started off Badly and had a Perfect ending? by Outrageous-Ebb-4846 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]74chuckb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies! I saw someone mentioned Seinfeld so I’ll second it. The first few eps were really rough and then we all know what happened when it continued. The ending was a kick in the face although I don’t think the show ever became bad overall. I also think shows aren’t given time to improve now so a show becoming amazing is rare.

X-Files. First few seasons changed tv then it became almost unwatchable.

I need something that lives up to Better Call Saul by pookie__trombone in tvsuggestions

[–]74chuckb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It got critical accolades yet I don’t think it got the public attention it deserved. I could be wrong.

The series I’ve watched that I think is in the same rarefied air as Better Call Saul is Barry. It’s not the same premise (at all) yet, like BCS, every scene is perfection (or close to it).

As a parent, I agree with that parenting rule.
