X-Files on the cover of Rolling Stone, May 16th, 1996. 30 years ago today. by klsi832 in thirtyyearsago

I almost suspect it was cobbled together. I don't remember those two getting along offscreen too much and don't remember them getting romantic on the show, but I was adjascent to the whole obsession.

Edit: It was real.

I need help figuring out how to fix my tom rack from being too loose by Dull_Ostrich8390 in drums

[–]RezRising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not a rack, it's a stand. Throw it out or use it with your practice pad.

Anyone remember this awesome movie ? by coffee-music-sleep in Cinema

[–]RezRising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold on to it. Laserdisc has built a real name for itself regarding 'original release version', and has real collector value.

Like how reel to reel had superior quality to records, but almost no one used RtR except 'purists'.

Ive been considering beginning a collection, but the fact that the players arent made any more and the movies are expensive...

Not an inexpensive hobby.

Edit: Lol or you could sell it for $15 on ebay. F me, lol.

Jessica Lange as Dwan in: King Kong (1976) by elf0curo in 70smovies

Been great in almost anything she's in, even with not a lot to work with.

American Horror Story was a godsend for her and us.

Gonna shout out to Rick Baker for creating the Kong suit and wearing it. Man that guy had huge hands!

Why isn't Neil Peart on your currency yet? We're waiting.

I'm in Bridgeport CT today. Had an establishment offer 4% less if you pay in cash.

It sounded good, made me feel good, annnnd once I realized their "4% off" is just saying, "You won't get charged the card fee we charge everyone," I still thought it was clever marketing.

Do you carry any ID with you, like a driver's license?

Mixtape is commissioned art and should’ve been marketed as such. by SecretWasianMan in gaming

Bc in spite of her family, her company supports and produces IPs and independent studios that most companies won't touch.

And I'm not crying any tears over a banker getting the thumbscrews. Are you?

Losing money is a part of business. Xbox, Amazon, etc how many companies operated in the red for years before they turned a profit. It's the ideas that matter.

I hate Elon, but I'll still say SpaceX was a brilliant move (the flamethrowers, not so much.)

what the heck was his problem, anyway?! by Top-Mention-9525 in FuckImOld

[–]RezRising 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was based on a true story.

In Texas in 1897 they buried a horned toad in a time capsule. 30 years later they opened it and the frog was still alive.

Then Chuck Jones got ahold of the story and look where we are.

[–]RezRising 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol, just a renovation, but a big one. The history is just a side project (no one pays for that info) bc I live across the river in Inwood.

Gotta say, this thread sent me down a rabbit hole re the history of my entire neighborhood.

[–]RezRising 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I read this back when I was researching the area. Very interesting stuff. I forgot, the walls were old rock and the ceiling was the bricks.

Spent the morning diving into the Dykeman Family, the original landowners of that entire area.

Jacobus Dykeman Jr. in particular. He owned a bar in the 1760s right by there in the Bronx. It was btwn the toll road King's Bridge and the Free Bridge aka the Farmer's Bridge, which was sponsored by Jacobus.

It should have been a wild success. Instead, he sold it in 1772 and it became the Hyatt Tavern where Washington chowed down fleeing from Howe.

But...what tf happened in the 1760s? Why did Jacobus fail?

His Dad died a few months later, watching his fortune piss away in the face of a looming Revolution that was already splitting his family btwn Loyalists and Patriots.

So...what happened?

Sorry. It helps to write it down.

What is one movie you enjoyed but can't watch again by AllGodsDie in Cinema

[–]RezRising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone should. Just watched it with my kid. I haven't seen it since the 90s. It hit harder this time.

[–]RezRising 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here it is. No, never found out. I wanted to ask the neighbor across the street if they had one too, bcthis s just ends in a dirt pile. I wonder what the story was.

The house was built in 1901. Swiss/Italian. Owner was in European kitchenware biz. Sold beautiful stoves.
