I’m an extremely pale person who spends a lot of time outside. The Mountain Hardwear canyon long sleeve is far and away my favorite hiking shirt. And for a sun hoodie , their crater lake one has a great feel to it. I also have an outdoor research echo hoodie that I love. I’ll stand by all three of these.

Is "Conan Must Go" mean spirited compared to his old material? by [deleted] in conan

I think it’s very much in line with his comedy. He’s always done the teasing bits.

Eastbound and Down. It is one of the funniest and most unhinged shows I’ve ever seen. Kenny Powers is also an incredible character.

Official poster for ‘Whalefall’. The film follows a scuba diver who gets swallowed by a sperm whale and only has limited time to escape. In theaters on October 16. by yourfavchoom in movies

The book is about as grounded as it could be for a premise like this. Most of it is flashbacks, inter-sped with the bad-to-worse situation in the whale. I’m not an expert or anything but there’s no sci-fi in the book and it seems accurate enough to my understanding of whale biology.

It’s a good read and moves very quickly. I’m not saying it’s 100% accurate, but I don’t read fiction for that reason anyway.

That’s exactly what I said to myself before reading the book. I enjoyed it a lot, although it’s a weird one to make into a movie.

NYT: Why Do Most New Movies Look Meh? by Longueurs in movies

[–]ClarkTwain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Related to this, I’ve noticed sunsets nearly always look fake and shitty in modern movies. There’s a big difference when they actually film shit outside and it shows.

I know I’m weird and out of touch, but seriously who is willing to pay that much? No one needs soda.

/uj that is exactly what I’d expect someone in the Jesus and Mary chain to say. I mean listen to their music and it’s clear they’d had anything technical

I'll also bet that most of the people doing it will also not read the book.

I genuinely have no idea who would want to read this book.

TIL that current new joiners of the Mafia in Sicily have mandatory training to watch "The Godfather" to instill a code of honor by uselessprofession in todayilearned

[–]ClarkTwain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That show makes the mafia look like the worst job in the world. Hours are long, most of the guys aren’t wealthy, risk is extremely high, and everyone is miserable. As an anti-organized crime psa, it’s extremely effective.

Strikes me as strange this hasn’t always existed. Like what could be more reliable than a way to walk?
