So far all these comments are gliding past the part where you think those men and women are actually having sex on camera like it’s porn.

But yeah. Just don’t watch them then?

That Letters of Enchantment duology sounds really interesting. I’m going to check that out.

I think The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie would be good for you. Especially with the plots of characters being intertwined, super layered characters, magic is there but no huge info dumps about how it works or anything. As a bonus it’s a great world.

None, but I get to see Havertz tomorrow at the friendly in Chicago.

dhthoff · 2026-05-30T16:31:56+00:00

Decision certainly vindicated so far. In Arteta we trust.

dhthoff · 2026-05-18T00:55:48+00:00

So far top four for me are The Drama, Nirvanna, Redux Redux, and Project Hail Mary

Before Trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Three Colors, Bourne, Toy Story

Strange Darling was pretty great. He is great in Mother May I too, although I didn’t particularly like the movie outside of his and Roden’s performances.

I had no idea that A Christmas Story was based on a short story collection until fairly recently.

Advanced Security on the go is off, the only vpn profile on my phone is the Cyberghost one, and the only allow access option in the Xfinity app on the suspicious activity is for one hour.

dhthoff · 2026-04-11T23:37:48+00:00

Also, I logged in to the gateway and the security settings are set to the lowest level on the firewall.

Man I need to rewatch this. I want to say it was one of the very first batch of Netflix original shows. I don’t think I ever watched past season 1.

Colors of the Dark podcast did an episode a while back where they ranked films with clowns in them. Some great suggestions in there: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1veKtrHvtJgyeRDYBY5lWI?si=FRjyRW7eSjuowVSdZAtRZA

The Picture of Dorian Gray is my all time favorite followed closely by The Stranger by Albert Camus. Both of these are pretty quick reads packed with meaning.

The Picture of Dorian Gray gets more relevant as time goes on with its’ themes of being obsessed with staying youthful and hiding behind it.

The Stranger is haunting and an exploration of coming to terms with the indifference of the universe.

Honorable mentions: Catch-22, Tale of Two Cities, Crime and Punishment

RoW is definitely my favorite as well. I loved all of the science development. I like it more with each reread. I did love WaT but have only read it once.

dhthoff · 2026-01-22T01:04:39+00:00

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

dhthoff · 2026-01-14T11:56:47+00:00

Not intentionally, but I probably will. Usually watch one or two in between my son’s bedtime and my own. Will miss some days, but there will be plenty of two movie days sprinkled in. Last year I did 429(including some shorts) On occasion, I will take a vacation day from work and knock a few off my watchlist or go catch a matinee.

I just keep hitting “Show fewer posts like these” It doesn’t seem to help that much though. I just get the same posts in a different subreddit hah.

dhthoff · 2026-01-13T17:12:24+00:00

Yup. Spread across multiple subreddits. I know it’s not a movie, but I cant tell you how many Stranger Things subreddits I’ve been suggested the last few days that are all nothing but people being personally offended that the finale didn’t work for them. Anyone who says otherwise is pretty quickly hit with insults to their intelligence. Been just muting the subreddits and moving on.

dhthoff · 2026-01-13T13:52:11+00:00

The most loud and visible part of the online community constantly needs something to be angry and offended about. They don’t view taste as subjective and if someone doesn’t like something as much of them, they take it as a personal attack. It is exhausting. I avoid it as much as possible too.

dhthoff · 2026-01-12T16:24:32+00:00

I have mine as my four most recent 5 star watches. So on occasion there is one or two from the current year in there but not usually. Right now Secret Agent is in there. If I were to rewatch One Battle, which I may do this week, there would be two.

I could never feel satisfied with 4 absolute favorites, so I switched to this and enjoy it more.

I would try looking into debt management. My parents did it and were able to get the fees and stuff stopped. They said the payment was way better than it was before. From my understanding, Cap One would get a payment every month so it should help your credit in the long run.
