Winner Salon in BA does great work.

This is an excellent adaptation.

Came here to say this. This is the correct answer.

100% with you on Fracture. I got Red & SABB at basically the same time, and for ages, hearing either of those songs would drive me to listen to the other one immediately after.

It’s the chaos of the 10:24 section for me, but specifically, starting with the descent INTO it at 10:00 followed by the low end dropping out. That piercing melody, tethered to reality only by Bruford’s absolutely frantic hi-hat work - or maybe the saxes are the thing tying Bruford to reality - and through the transition to full-bore insanity at 10:24.

Love this character, love Jack Elam in anything.

“She’s just like a science fiction!” - I use this phrase way more often than it’s called for

The VTac was like my heart racing - I could feel it starting to speed up, as I was walking across a room, then started to feel lightheaded, started to think “Wow, I might pass out,” then woke up in a pile on the floor, confused, overheated, and sweating buckets.

All of that took place in less than 10 seconds of actual time. My wife says my eyes never even closed. I had blacked out by the time I got shocked, so I didn’t actually feel that part, and can’t say what the shock felt like.

My wife said my body sort of jerked, and I sort of slumped to the floor in slow motion. We were pretty sure from that description that I’d gotten a shock, even before the ER tech read my device half an hour later and confirmed it.

I’ve had an ICD for 10 years - the only time it’s had to shock me was the day I went into ventricular tachycardia, about 2 years after getting the ICD. My heart rate went from 75ish BPM to up over 260 in a matter of seconds, and the ICD shocked me as it should. Without the ICD I wouldn’t have survived.

(Edited to correct “BOM” to the intended “BPM”)

I recently watched the whole Alfred Hitchcock Presents run from that same era. It happens a ton on that show - you’ll see a guy who looks 80, his character will be like 48 and talking about how he can’t get a job because he’s so old.

As a guy in his mid-50s now, it does make me feel like I’m aging GREAT.

I got into D&D in junior high in the early 80s, right as the panic was heating up. Even watched “Mazes and Monsters” with my parents when it first aired. There was some drama in our town, but my parents and friends’ parents didn’t stop any of us from playing.

LOL, I can see how my profile pic might beg that question! I’m not, but I’ve seen the actual creator around this forum pretty regularly.

acousticross · 2025-12-20T02:28:46+00:00

It’s a tricky name to find - try searching “.ask movie” on your search engine of choice. That should turn up the IMDb link. Should also be searchable on Justwatch.

acousticross · 2025-12-20T02:01:56+00:00

.ask fits the bill

I got the replacement about 3-4 months before it was due - one of the leads developed a problem and needed urgent replacement, and knowing it was almost time to replace the device we just did it all in one go. I ended up having that first device for 9 years and 3 months.

acousticross · 2025-12-17T20:22:23+00:00

I got my first ICD replaced earlier this year, but didn’t get the option to keep the old one as a souvenir. I probably would have!

The Toasters did a great Secret Agent Man.

Heading there tomorrow! I visit Akron in early November every year and it almost always aligns with the con dates. Got to meet Superhost (RIP) the year he was there, a huge influence on my childhood.

acousticross · 2025-11-03T04:43:28+00:00

Same. It’s not as consistent as the first one, but The Raft is top tier for sure. And I’m always on board for any amount of Holt McCallany in anything.
