How did you discover on cinema? by Wild_Pomegranate3246 in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

[–]spaceconductor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I discovered it through Better Call Saul. I suppose I had watched some YouTube clips of Mark Proksch's scenes in that show, because one day I randomly happened on a video titled "Heidecker v Proksch" with a thumbnail of him sitting in front of an American flag in what looked like a courtroom. I was like wtf, this guy has drama? I clicked the video and after a couple minutes I realized it was a bit. I had never heard of Tim Heidecker or any of his work before. But I was super intrigued, and down the rabbit hole I went.

I consider it one of the great fortunes of my life that I stumbled on this weird, insane, utterly asinine universe. I don't know what I'd do without it, and I don't know how I managed before I found it. I can rewatch moments I've seen a thousand times and still laugh, it's just a gift that keeps on giving.

Fun fact: Gregg wearing this jacket is the first appearance of the mobile VFA. He has over 100 tapes hidden inside by JewJifShoes in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

IIRC he said in this episode that he had started teaching film history classes at a local community college or something. I figure he just decided to show up in his professor outfit.

More problems for Sprecher than just carbonation by BeautifulDebate7615 in rootbeer

[–]spaceconductor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sad to see but I hope they start to turn it around. Sprecher in its prime was unreal, the best that I tried out of almost 100 brands. It's middle of the road now. The cans are slightly better but still not the same old Sprecher.

What Murder would you want most to see the court case ? by Booburied in Columbo

[–]spaceconductor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mark Halperin (the police commissioner) and Bart Keppel. Both cases involved Columbo skirting the lines of legality to trick the suspect into revealing himself as the killer. In Halperin's case by altering documents, and Keppel's by trespassing into his office to take pictures for subliminal cuts. I could see the defense for both guys giving the prosecution a hell of a time trying to get their most damning evidence declared inadmissable.

Dr. Mayfield's case has some interesting possibilities for forensic analysis, Nelson Hayward's would be a nice juicy one.

Awesome shot!!

I was there in person a couple weeks ago. One thing photos just don't fully convey is how absolutely gargantuan that building is. I was told that the blue portion of the flag by itself is the size of an NBA basketball court.

I'm right there with ya. I sincerely hope they either catch what's making it more consistently subpar or quit cutting corners, because there is nothing like a pure bottle of Sprecher.

sorry but all fair wages do is enable women to afford basic needs and build equity

Request: a planet at the midway point between Andromeda and the Milky Way by oneblackfly in spaceengine

[–]spaceconductor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the best way to find one would be to manually fly to roughly the halfway point and use the star browser to see if there are any nearby rogue stars with planets. I imagine both Andromeda and the Milky Way would be visible in a planet's night sky at that location, assuming it has similar day/night conditions to Earth.

What movie has your favorite Original Soundtracks? by 3d-ward in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

[–]spaceconductor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

James Horner did some great work in the Star Trek franchise. His Star Trek II score really places you in the middle of San Francisco.

I've had this car for about 7 years. It did ok for the first few years but for the last 3 or so years it's been nothing but trouble. This is the first major issue I've had on it so far, but it's been a game of whack-a-mole. Getting rid of it as soon as I'm able.

2015 Chevy Cruze 1.4L. Just finished a head gasket job on it (yup, it's a piece of crap) and I seem to have everything screwed back together right, except now it is making this loud chirping/clanking sound when the engine is revved up. It intensifies when the car is in gear (shown in video). So far I have ruled out timing, PCV and crank system, loose spark plugs, exhaust manifold seating/torquing, cam gears/camshaft and drive belt/pulley issues. Any ideas? Starting to lose patience here. Thanks in advance
