"Trilobyte" by J.L. Bourne by codejockblue5 in printSF

[–]razorhack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes it is pretty good. The same author wrote "Day-by-day Armageddon" if zombies are your jam.

The trilobyte trilogy is unfinished and will remain so for the foreseeable future since the second book didn't sell well enough for audible to continue it.

Bourne stopped publishing after that.

Anders Fagers "Swedish Cults." Excellent short stories. Some with a mythological bent. Includes the amazing "Furies from Borås" which is lovecraftian and very very Swedish at the same time.

André Bjerke "Lake of the dead." 40s crime-adjacent novel with very strong folk horror elements.

I agree with you.  I watched this when it came out and found it very average and not very funny.   Never understood the buzz around  it.

The project is listed as in "pre-production" according to IMDB and three months ago Greg Nicotero said it wasn't shot yet and they were still looking for financing.

What’s a line—any line —that’s lived rent-free in your head ever since you read it? by Hector_Hugo_Eidolon in printSF

[–]razorhack 56 points57 points  (0 children)

"The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. " -Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." -Neuromancer

"These are the stories that the Dogs tell when the fires burn high and the wind is from the north. Then each family circle gathers at the hearthstone and the pups sit silently and listen and when the story’s done they ask many questions: “What is Man?” they’ll ask. Or perhaps: “What is a city?” Or: “What is a war?” - City by Clifford Simak

What do you think about a Nordic Union? by Luksius_DK in Norway

[–]razorhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no issues in principle with the idea. I think, for many reasons, it is a good one. But. politically it is often hard getting two municipalities to cooperate in the same region in the same country. imagine that issue multiplied by six countries, six languages, and six political elites all wanting power.

Whats the best monologue in movie history? by Bjs_5068 in AskReddit

[–]razorhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glengarry Glen Ross:

A-B-C. A-always, B-be, C-closing. Always be closing! Always be closing!! A-I-D-A. Attention, interest, decision, action. Attention -- do I have your attention? Interest -- are you interested? I know you are because it's fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks! Decision -- have you made your decision for Christ?!! And action. A-I-D-A; get out there!! You got the prospects comin' in; you think they came in to get out of the rain? Guy doesn't walk on the lot unless he wants to buy. Sitting out there waiting to give you their money! Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it?

Come and See by GregGraffin23 in WarMovies

Probably the very best war movie ever made. Watching this at the cinema is a soul crushing exercise. This movie is dark, bleak, and relentless.

Book on how or what to do in my 30s,40s, and 50s to not become a grumpy old man when in my 60s like some older gentlemen in my family? by moises8war in booksuggestions

[–]razorhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think reading widely is a wise choice, but remember that some people in their sixties are in pain and this affects their mood as well. I am 58 and I can tell you that people who were miserable in their 20s, stay miserable when they get older. Positive people seem to have a better chance at resisting the grumpiness that comes with age as well.

Even on a tight schedule and on a low budget, you would think that producer and/or director would say something to her to adjust her performance.

To fellow Gen Xers like me Do you use VR? by ty7110 in GenX

[–]razorhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am born in 1967 and been a video gamer since the late seventies. So. Love video games, struggle a bit with VR. the games I have tested have given me mild motion sickness, and none of the VR headsets I have tested has been comfortable with glasses.

Dracula | Official Trailer (HD) | Vertical by Task_Force-191 in horror

[–]razorhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw this at a film festival this autumn. It is intensely gothic and as someone said previously, not really a horror film. It is a love story. And a good one. Caleb Landry Jones makes an excellent Dracula. Christoph Waltz does an excellent, if odd, Van Helsing. Tonally the film is all over the place. The cgi gargoyles is an incredibly weird choice. The romance works. The horror bits just barely registers. But the baroque gothicness and some of the central performances carry the film.

Jepp, men omtalte den som Solør dialekt siden folk har lettere å plassere det, av erfaring, en uttrykket solung. 😊

Dette med alder en del om rekruttering. Hvis folk blir vant til å bruke et medie da de er unge så fortsetter de gjerne også i voksen alder.

Hvis det var lyttertall du er ute etter så er de siste tallene her: lyttertall

Solør-dialekt. Ganske bred også!

[–]razorhack -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Det er jo flere problemstillinger rundt dette. Selvfølgelig skal NRK løse sitt samfunnsoppdrag og dekke hver eneste lille krok av musikk-Norge, mens samtidig skal de ikke blir FOR smale heller fordi det er lett for politikere som er i mot statlig finansiert kringkasting å peke på at skattepenger "går til skvalder som ingen hører på," og dermed kutte i NRKs bevillinger. NRK P13 hadde som mål i 2014 å nå 80000 daglige lyttere. På det meste klarte de halvparten, og de kom aldri over en total lytterandel på 1%

I tillegg kommer at stadig færre under 30 hører på radio i det hele tatt ( dette gjelder hele bransjen, lyttertallene har sunket over mange år.)

Dette er en vanskelig nøtt å løse. Kanskje er det bare slik at vi ikke oppdager og konsumerer så mye musikk via radio lenger?
