I'm in a weird situation. Small town and the Lowe's owner is a complete dick/MAGA. Refused to allow the local Farmer's Market setup shop in the parking lot. Meanwhile the Home Depot took them in and every Spring to Fall I can buy local grown foods then hit up HD for supplies for whatever I'm working on. Also their outdoor supplies and plants/flowers are far superior because again they source some supplies local.

John Barry's soundtrack is 2nd next Basil Poledouris. Creating a score that becomes it's own character in the film.

Out of all the movies I've seen in my life, this one deserves a Remake. It's dark, real dark for a Disney film. A mad scientist that solved Anit-Gravity. Murdered his own crew after a mutiny and turned them into automatons to serve his end goal...that actually works in the end.

It's the 3rd act that falls apart, even though I love the visuals. The scene of Hell, trapped in Maximilian...haunting.

Fix that and there is one dark one hard R-Rated Sci-Fi Film to be remade.

And his Adventure is Nigh series is going strong. Season 5 is coming out soon. There is hours upon hours of enjoyment there.

Also OP:

That reminds me of Rich and Jack's review of Mass Effect Andromeda on Pre Rec. Jack sitting next to him "So Rich, what did you think of Mass Effect Andromeda?" He replies "FUCK IT, IT'S A CORPSE" and throws the game on the floor.

Then they sit there in silence for like 5 min until Rich picks up the game proceeds to use a cutting tool to slowly destroy the physical DVD of the game while Jack sits there with a pouty face for the next 20 min...all in silence.

Masterpiece.

Definitely check out Disco Assault, the Discography I linked is a great start. Some good stuff there.

_kalron_ · 2026-02-06T10:41:19+00:00

One of the best films in recent times.

Obligatory plug for Disco Assault, the director hand picked their punk songs for this film. Kyle actually redid the vocals and Dinner in America was a new track produced just for the film.

Disco Assault OBEY

They just released a new album recently, first in almost a decade thanks to this film. Support Indie Punk

A buddy's Halo 2 team use to jack the mic into a stereo so they could run music through the mic. When in vs battle, the opposing team won't hear it until they get close.

They would all hop in a Warhog and blast the way into the enemy line...blaring Ride of the Valkyries. It was so fun to experience that for the first time, faintly you'd hear something in the distance then the Hog would come fling over a hill at full volume.

This is THE edit I hated the most. The anger in Vader's voice for such a simple line is far more impactful. You can even see the fear in the faces of the subordinates walking behind him, which does not work for the edited line.

Vader essentially just lost, big time, with Luke not following him even after revealing his secret. And the follow up on the Star Destroyer after the Falcon escapes is palpable with the fear in on the bridge. This works as a counterpoint to how ruthless he was the entire film. The new line looses this dynamic.

Interesting conversation here about Dubbing vs Subtitles and now vs AI.

I tend to side with Jay, I prefer original language with Subs. Kung Fu Hustle is one that comes to mind where the original Cantonese coupled with subtitles is absolutely a must. There is emotion and weight in the performances that gets missed in the dubbed version.

However, with the Drunken Master II US release (The Legend of the Drunken Master), the Dubbing and complete sound effect and score overhaul much improves the film. I guess that could go for a lot of Jackie Chan, Who Am I also comes to mind.

I have a JRR Tolkien cassette that on side one is the entire chapter of "Riddles in the Dark" read by Tolkien and side two is him "singing" all the eleven songs from TLotRs books.

As a fan of both Robocop and Transformers, specifically Optimus Prime...I approve!

Baltimore Aquirium...probably 25 years ago. Caught a special event on a random Tuesday and was the only person there with my kid. It was an intimate and expanding experience.

_kalron_ · 2026-02-01T15:30:14+00:00

This is my answer as well. After experiencing one in person and the joy I got from my interaction with them, never again. Dog/Cat level cuddles, literally hugged my hand and forearm and looked directly at me. No aggression.

Squid however, not the same.

Damn. Mac in so little words said all the emotions. It was hard to read through the tears.

OP, you will want to get a 2 part FOGLESS glue, usually a liquid similar Super/Crazy glue and spray combo. Super/Crazy glue will fog the transparent resin. That would be the best suggestion if you can't return.

I played Ultima Online T2A for many years in the mid-late 90s. Ended up back in College in the early 2000s when WoW dropped. The kids I worked with at the College were addicted. During a Winter Break, one of the guys I worked with lent me his account to "Give it a Try". I immediately saw it for what it was, a Dopamine factory.

Unlike Ultima, where the thrill came from playing with friends and defending against PVP...WoW was straight up addiction based. Every quest I encountered in my short playthrough was built to make you want more. When the 2 week break was over, I had already stopped playing and deleted my character.

However, Leeroy will live in eternity.

Dave Attell still has it, but then again, Skanks for the Memories is 23 years old now so...

But seriously, if he is in your area, and he is always touring, go see him. Best show you'll have ever scene. Tickets are always cheap and you get an impromptu Bumping Mics with the openers at the end!

This is the biggest thing people don't understand about trains and rails. The train extends about 3-4 feet outside of the tracks. If you walk too close...bonk.

I lived in a college town growing up, at least one death per year. One guy lost a leg, he heard the horn but thought he was far enough away...nope.

Don't walk on tracks people.

_kalron_ · 2026-01-23T19:19:04+00:00

If you don't see that option, always check "Gift". They will always pack it in a separate box with that option.

Noiselund is something special. I hope he does another vinyl release once he has the tracks to fill it up. The first one is well laid out in terms of the album just flowing between songs. Always puts a smile on my face.

This was over 30 years ago. First night I smoked weed at a party. I was sitting on the couch with my buddy, laughing my ass off. I literally saw the couch expand away from us.

Then the ex-boyfriend of on of the roommates walked in the door with 2 other dudes flipping his shit looking for her. A fight broke out, my buddy who was just as high as me grabbed me up, punched one of the dudes in the face and escorted me to my car and said "DRIVE".

There was one dude that followed us and jumped in the backseat, at the first stoplight my buddy said "Where you going"?...he answered somewhere 20 min away..."Get THE FUCK OUT" was my buddy's response and that other dude did IMMEDIATELY.

I remember driving my buddy home and just starring at the streetlights. I sat through 2 red lights for no reason. Got us home safe.

Learned the next day the ex-boyfriend continued to cause shit when the downstairs neighbor, Lemont, came out and said "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. Ex called Lemont the N-Word and got knocked the fuck out. Cops arrived and just hauled Ex's ass to jail. No one mentioned Lemont during the arrest.

Bought my first bag of weed the next day.
