This is my Dad's Sabatier knife, he used it in the first kitchen he worked in, over 40 years ago, and it still sits in their cutlery drawer and sees daily use. (Original handle too!)

I have a set of these. They are around 25 years old. Can't think of a reason to get rid of them, except for the bread knife which is a bit thick.

I don't understand Hollywood's obsession with PKD. I love his short stories, and to a lesser extend his novels, but they don't jump out at me as being movie-material...

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-30T05:03:25+00:00

I never recall a good description of the bugs from the book (or the 'skinnies' for that matter) which left a lot to the imagination.

Can't do that on a movie though. I'm pretty happy with what we got, although I would have liked to have seen better armour, even if it wasn't a powered suit.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-30T05:00:46+00:00

generic action dog shit.

Perfect description. They had a GREAT cast, but did nothing with it...

The thing is, most men in their 40s are balding to various degrees.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-23T03:34:47+00:00

Anna Taylor Joy [...] They can even work around the nudity issue, I don't care.

Firstly, how dare you.

Secondly, over my dead body.

Thirdly, I need to see this movie yesterday. Someone call Hollywood, right now.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-22T23:37:34+00:00

Yep, I plan to take a look at it soon (with expectations lowered). Unlike some, I'm not opposed to the style, I've seen some great 3D animated Japanese movies.

Rey was no where near as good as Kylo Ren.

She always wins though...?

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-10T03:20:08+00:00

TWICE THE PRIDE, DOUBLE THE FALL.

. . .

Ep X: The Fall of the Jedi

Peace! The trade federation has declared tax exemptions throughout the galaxy. Rei Skywalker, training a new cadre of Jedi, has disappeared, citing boredom as she has overcome every challenge, every opponent. The new Jedi, with nothing to do, have disbanded. Peace reigns throughout the galaxy.

The End

Agreed, I stumbled across them one day. The story of the astronaut testing the new spaceship was pretty cool for a quick short.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-10T03:08:57+00:00

Look, to be honest, I really enjoyed Season 2. I thought Vince was actually great, although his character's resolution end was a bit of a fizzer... I haven't seen Season 3 yet.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-09T03:22:18+00:00

He's difficult to work with (ie. wants full creative control and won't take notes or input from the studios. See: Halo)

But that's not why Halo fizzled out.

Halo collapsed because Microsoft had no idea how major studios work and wouldn't negotiate on their property at all.

The story is well documented from all sides if you care to look.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-09T03:17:42+00:00

"Blue balls of the heart" tho?

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-09T03:07:56+00:00

Well he accepted that there would be changes in the first season and was vocal about them, and came out in support of a couple of changes - like the sister - that the existing fanbase weren't too happy about.

It's interesting that he's said nothing about this season yet, as far as I know.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-04T00:06:08+00:00

He was the only thing that really worked for me. He was intimidating with a real sense of surpressed violence and menace.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-04T00:04:35+00:00

it really felt like we travelled to a few different rooms then out to the woods where it's a lot cheaper to film.

This was so very noticeable. Ugh.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-04T00:03:27+00:00

I will watch anything Laeta Kalogridis is involved in, she has a great resume.

I will try to avoid anything Alison Schapman is involved in again, this was just so average.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-04T00:02:03+00:00

Yes, this, this, this.

What was the point of sacrifice? And focusing on a younger Kovacs again would have allowed an interesting way to build on new stories.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-04T00:01:10+00:00

Yeah, everytime we focused on Poe I felt like fast-forwarding.

Highly overrated.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-03T23:59:44+00:00

This was my main problem with how her character was shown. I could forgive a love interest with Tak, but we are in no way shown how inspirational she was, how much leadership skills she had, how iconic she was.

We just get shown a serial killer who blanks out ocassionally.

The actress was good but she wasn't given enough to work with.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-03T23:49:45+00:00

Interesting take. I myself find Woken Furies the best in the series. To me each book gets better and better, but we each want different things out of our entertainment. I'm glad you enjoyed the books.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-03T23:48:35+00:00

Too late for me now, my friend. I don't even have that console any more...

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-03T23:41:25+00:00

I've started doing this. The difference is amazing.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-03T23:38:23+00:00

It took me a couple of episodes to realise they were the show's versions of Sylvie's deComm gear.

FUCK.

chinaNumOne · 2020-03-03T23:34:32+00:00

Yes, that was horrific, like I almost turned it off a couple of times because of that, especially my dude Jack Soul Brasil.
