OORAH!

Pacino, like a lot of great actors, the older he got the more prone he became to hamming it up. I caught that movie where he's the blind marine colonel and man, it's almost unwatchable...

I loved First Contact - the last third act is nothing but nail-biting. Keep in mind, I'm a Trek fanboy (YMMV)

Good luck, Steve! For an extrovert like you, this is going to be a bummer of a summer but you'll get through it. I'll taunt you on FB about the concerts you're missing. :D

The new season is in production. Ortega has axed the romances of last season, this is all about murder, mysteries, and mayhem.
...

Ah, the Motion Picture. I remember it well. Paramount wanted a science fiction movie to ride the Star Wars wave. They didn't want to pay for it. There was a December release date that was too soon,...

We've just gotten past that episode of Baby Reindeer and I found it one of the most disturbing episodes of TV I've seen in a while and we just watched all three seasons of The Fall.

I've got the Commitments on DVD, missed the anniversary Blu-Ray. The film holds up extremely well.

That corresponds with what we were told in HS choir. To sing properly, in your range, you sing from your chest/diaphragm. Falsetto takes it higher but it's a little thinner. Still sound great,...

I miss Silver Shoes posts. He has a wealth of knowledge about guitars, music, pop culture.

You made the correct decision.

Infamous 78 collector Joe Bussard did not like blues or jazz recorded past the 30s. I can listen to that real old time stuff once in a while, provided I'm in a particular mood. My prime era for jazz...

I streamed it and found it...ok. Nothing there that overwhelmed me. There wasn't anything that seemed like an undiscovered gem I couldn't do without.

I remember that Tanya did a very soft core pictorial for Playboy with the release of Beastmaster. She posed with some big cats, if I remember correctly. That was a nice era.

Our desktop PCs are up to date, my laptop is a different story. It's a 17" Samsung and about thirteen years old. I would like to shut off Windows updates, because every one throws it into a tailspin....

Condolences. My spousal unit has "tastes" that subject me to a plethora of shit I have less than zero interest in.

Hal and Steve - you're both a coupla right cunts :lol

After reading the oral history of the original series I am convinced this was the biggest loss the show suffered.
...

We loved Deadloch - it took awhile to find its groove, mostly because of that detective from Darwin. Funnier than hell.

I've got a playlist some of Dickey's Allman tunes playing right now (and no, NOT Ramblin' Man).

Yeah, best of luck guys.

My hips bother me now and then. I hope to hell it is just arthritis. It feels like arthritis.

RIP to Dickie Betts. Perhaps this news deserves a thread of its own, LOTS of Allman fans in this forum.

Late 2024 or early 2025 for Andor. There will be only this season because this leads right up to the movie Rogue One.

With minute changes to age and profession you have the character that made us nope straight out of Yellowstone.

I wonder if OJ's problems were caused by CTE. The guy took more than a few hits to the noggin over a long career. I'm not absolving him over those two murders, just trying to connect the dots.

I have the reissued CD that restored some of the edits done in the first CD, plus the Berne concert on the Heavy Horses disc. Regardless, I feel myself getting ready to pre-order. I need help.

If this succeeds we might see some other legacy acts with no original members getting in hot water as well. This is going to be really interesting.

Yeah, the amount of idiocy was just insane. One stupid act after another, with plot holes you could pilot a spaceship through.

The sound quality of their initial run of albums is amazing to me. I got HD versions of the first five albums and each one sounds stellar.

I was surprised to hear that the distorted sound on the guitar was created by stacking two compression pedals on the signal (and I assume an overdriven amp) but no distortion pedal or fuzz. I mean it...

The best thing about the original Roadhouse is that a.) the romantic interest is Kelly Lynch, who is married to producer/writer Mitch Glazer, b.) Bill Murray and his brothers all know Mitch Glazer...

I tried to find The Sheepman on Max (where TCM has their own section) and couldn't find it. As far as Glenn Ford goes, I don't mind him. I liked him in 3:10 to Yuma and of course, Gilda (though there...

Not coming anywhere near me of course but I hope there's a live album.

We watched I, Tonya last night. A pretty black comedy based on "contradictory" and "totally true" interviews with ex-Olympian Tonya Harding and her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly. Funny though there was a...

I would post the link but it's behind a paywall. Anyway, The Defector posted this guide for coping with opening day losses

Half the teams in Major League Baseball fulfilled their Opening Day...

I would imagine that one of the biggest priorities is to clear away enough debris to get at least one channel open. You can't leave a port that size locked up for months while they move all the...

It loses steam, as all shows do, in the later seasons. Some of the best characters in 90s TV and some unforgettable episodes. I will always cherish the piano catapult.

We just watched The Conversation (1974) for the first time. I know it got a lot of acclaim but neither of us had seen it before. Like a lot of older films, it takes a while to get going and for a...

So, does is the series a sequel to the movie? Should the movie be watched first?

I just tried it. Error message

And he wrote the two of the best space operas of the 90s (A Fire in the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky) and is the father of the concept of a tech singularity. RIP to a true giant.

Can you imagine all the garment-rending and gnashing of teeth on southern Cal sports radio? ESPN is going to be running with this for weeks. Manfred the Wonder Boy must be shitting himself.

We've been working through the early seasons of Archer. Just relentlessly funny.

I never watched much golf. It was fun turn on the TV when Tiger prowled the course in his prime, eating grown men alive. There was nothing like seeing him starting a Sunday strokes behind the leaders...

I like Cultosaurus Erectus, there's seven or so really good tracks there. Martin Birch produced it and he got far more punch into the mix than punchless Pearlman.

Here's Buck taking lead vocals...

The sound on Crimes of the Century remains astonishing - it's just a benchmark for clarity and dynamics.

Both are worthy of the high rating. The Host is an early creation of Bong Joon-ho (Snowpiercer, Parasite). Winter's Bone got J-Law her first Academy Award nom.

I used to have the American disdain for soccer/football but after watching Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham, I kinda get it now. I at least get the passion for it. Compared to North American football...

Season two is coming later this year. https://screenrant.com/lord-rings-rings-power-season-2-release-window-2024/

At least we don't see her applying it to her taint

I was in line at a liquor store when Sideways was in theaters. The cashier said something about selling a lot of merlot because of that movie. And a woman in line said she took her 70-something...

That classic patter banter of some old films drives me nuts. Feels like I'm watching a community theater production.

"Beneath the Masts" is the point where I thought, yep this is a BBT album

The biggest issue for me with Imaginos is Albert's vocals. They are the very definition of "an acquired taste".

I think the pandemic kinds screwed up the previous season but they do seem to be back in their groove again. Amazing how the two kids grew up in the space of a few seasons.

Yeah, it was so artsy and stylized in places that I eventually gave up on it.

I remember seeing "Garp Lives!" graffiti back in the day. That was one powerful book. I was just contemplating re-reading New Hampshire.

1997 my wife and I went to a Cactus League game with my dad and my uncle. We sat in the AZ sun, drank beer, watched the players goofing off and signing baseballs, the whole experience. Both the old...
