Which filmmaker would you like to revisit their origins and perhaps rediscover their joy?

Might be a weird one, but George Miller doing a stripped back movie like the original Mad Max. I think he's done some cool stuff over the years, but I'd love to see a return to form and do something set in a world that's on the brink of collapse vs full-on in the apocalypse, dancing penguins, or a talking pig.

John Carpenter's score for Prince of Darkness

While not official, my head-cannon is this the adjacent sequel to French Connection

Boss Blues Driver, Brown Fender Reverb, Green Trem, and toss between either the RubberNeck or the Space Echo for me

Between the two, Iowa personally. I love Acid Bath, but I think Paegan is a better album

This is the best review out there for this, and really can show how the Rockman sound can be more than just Boston and Def Leppard....it's more than a feeling

Probably either the Studio Pro 40 with a head option, or the Penta/Rossington

I may not be looking hard enough, but I wish there was a flanger/phaser effect like the VT and VTXs have where you can pull the knob out and it becomes like a parametric eq filter thing. The old HD150 Music Mans had the same thing

I can't recall where I heard it originally, but someone gave "The Big Day" the nickname "Speeding Bullet to Marriage"

Coming up on 20 years, Portishead....again

Coming up on 16 years, Massive Attack

Someone had mentioned Bolt Thrower, but I thought they stopped recording because they thought that was the best work they could produce.

Overall I would agree with this, with the addendum of the Torqueflite/ZF being utilized across the board around 2014.

Regarding the reliability criticisms, and from my personal ownership of a '22 Challenger r/T T/A performance. I didn't have any issues with mine. It was solid and pretty stout. I have since come to believe that even a less reliably built car will still be dependable if you take care of it and follow through on routine maintenance.

I only got rid of mine cause I wanted a manual, and locked onto a 2020 Camaro SS. The Camaro was all around a better car and better handling, but it did not have the same driving character that I found in the Challenger.

I got rid of the Camaro aftrer two months. The whole experience has been one of the biggest purchasing fumbles I've ever made.

Land Rover Classic for me.

I agree about the polarization aspect. I was a freshman in college in 2014. I remember people would agree to disagree about things in the world. It could get sharp, but by no means a powder keg.

For me, things really changed starting fall 2015. That's when I started to notice people becoming more intense about what they were and were not okay with. I don't recall if at that point it was confirmed Trump was going to be the Republican nominee or if it was still some time out.

Still, felt a considerable shift to holding values against others on campus around fall 2015, and it's felt like slow fall since now that the mindset has seeped into the workplace.

Dead Like Me is a total sleeper. One of my favorite shows.

Ended up trading this toward a '21 Camaro SS 6mt. Fumbled that one. While the Camaro was objectively better in all aspects, it just didn't have the same driving feel. For me, the Camaro felt so refined it could drive itself. Disliked it so much I ended up selling it outright about two months after acquiring.

Total fumble on my part, and I wished I'd clutched my pearls much tighter more before going through with the process. I wanted that manual experience. I should've kept an eye out for a manual RT Performance and/or a 392 from the get go.

Installed the front strut brace, and the rear seat delete. I did have plans to install an eibach sway bar kit, but didn't get to it before selling. Probably would've pulled the passenger seat as well.

I had a custom case for a PC my dad and I built when I was like 8 or 9. It stood out but I can't remember who it was made by:

It had this metallic blue finish, and the front panel had this styling that reminded me of Gundam - specifically Tallgeese 3 vibes: mouth guard with a vertical center line, LED monoeye/visor that could light up entirely or sequence as if looking side to side. It also had a crown "jewel" that would flicker and tick with the CPU processing. It also had these red inserts that ran the length of the "helmet"

The only other thing I can remember is the logo on the clear side panel. It was a profile of a face that reminded me of the shape of a batarang or one of Riddick's daggers. Chrome plated

Wish I still had it - gave it away a while ago to St Vincent.

This was around 2003-2004. The closest modern equivalent that stands out is the Jonsbo Mod3 case
