The Pitters' Place

^ well - there you go I guess. The way they wrote colossus felt like Krauss from Hellboy 2 - and that's probably why I really didn't enjoy him at all .. The trailer sampled pretty evenly from the entire movie the way I saw it. As with all of these things, you worry that the only funny lines in the m...

Deadpool: Humor is good but feels a little forced at times. A lot of what's in the trailers is at the beginning of the movie. Not as much violence as I expected for a hard R Deadpool movie. Still enjoyable, Ryan Reynolds is perfect as the character. 7.75/10. Watched this on the weekend with the kid...

I enjoyed that a great deal

indeed - at least it calls into question whether screwing a few women and smashing a few cars are things that we need in an MI sector.. I think this is absolutely something the spy world needs.

It doesn't remind me of Guardians at all - but in line with Bruce's comment, I wouldn't have an issue with that - I loved Guardians

Yeah... I agree with that. I still think flat earth is somewhat worse... but I'm hesitant now to put it into an entirely different category of stupid from chemtrails, YEC, Holocaust denial, etc. That lady who thinks the sun drops into the ocean, though, should probably be in a category all on her o...

The Gift The 2015 one with Jason Bateman, not the 2000 one with Cate Blanchet. The plot Ideal couple move from the big city to the burbs - the same home town the Husband grew up in. The idea is "something traumatic" happened and they need a fresh start, wife is a bit messed up by past eve...

He looks like some ironic barista from a hipster coffee shop. Sounds terrifying to me. I dunno - I kinda like the look, seems to fit in with the feel of this and I have absolute faith in Jared, I can't remember seeing him in anything I didn't think he excelled in. The only real worry for me is Jai ...

^ I get that as well - Its pretty near impossible to quantify what I am saying given I don't think there is an actual metric for "This is some stupid shit" I can appeal to. To me - believing in magic doesn't reduce the actual amount of stupid thrown at an argument, it kinda augments it. Th...

Well - I reckon this looks all kinda awesome - count me in, I have no problem with Leto in this at all.,

Is that really significantly dumber than believing in a literal take on Noah's ark? and there's millions of people who eat that shit up To quote South Park, yes, yes it is. Way dumber. The difference is that one requires trust in various fields of study... if Noah's Arc were literally true, then it...

I drink coffee for the caffeine, and as Salmon said, flavored creamer is just the way to make it drinkable and get the caffeine in my system. You're wrong on both counts, Opiate. I also don't understand why Salmon perfectly described the need for flavored creamer, yet simultaneously called it the w...

this I would enjoy

It has never snowed here ever, snows on the mountains but down where the peoples live - just doesn't happen so I imagine if it did happen, it would cause quite a lot of excitement

Don't mind Dark Chocolate but can only eat small amount of it - but apparently, it is good for you. Kale - is about as good for you as any other green leafy vegetable, the difference being that it is inedible unless its fried and salted and eaten like chips - in which form it is significantly less g...

See, the thing about coding is that it's an art form. One that is refined over a long period of time. As a programmer spends more and more years programming, he learns various ways to accomplish things. He also adopts a style that is personal to him. Sometimes different programmers have different s...

Haven't posted here much recently for a whole host of reasons - but figured I'd make a brief appearance from tomorrow land to wish one and all a happy New Years and check in with all the latest.

S0 'ave a goodun and be well in the coming year!

David Tennant was reasonably charismatic in a completely sociopathic sort of way. I did like how they engineered our sympathies for him then changed that entire narrative by revealing the actual truth behind his childhood.. then gave him a path to redemption that was entirely motivated by his wantin...

First things first .. Pixels I know this movie received broad criticism from this board some time back and I really didn't have any interest in watching it - then a couple of people I know IRL saw it and liked it and I became curious, not so much because I respect their taste in movies (one of them ...

One leads to the other

:) - wanks

So - since my car accident a while back I've been wanting to change over the Beemer for something else - nothing wrong with it or anything but once one of my things gets broken, I tend to loose interest in it - Also, good year financially so figured I'd treat myself and get something with a bit more...

I like Suits too. Harvey of course. He's hot in a white collar kind of way. Almost everyone in the show is eye candy - Harvey is slick as a slick thing, bit of a douche but also essentially, a good guy. I'm obsessed with Jessica - she's sassy, smart, gorgeous, killer style and usually one step ahea...

I'd been dithering over whether or not to give Jessica Jones a try, but I think you may just have tipped the balance! Obviously if I think it's shit I'll blame you, okay? I expect nothing less - I really liked it, it's kinda got a Hancock vibe going on with more adult content and better writing - a...

^ I have every confidence in you are your ways !

I get the feeling that you'd really enjoy utopia, it's certainly not standard fare No happy endings, the moral message is polarised to the point where what the bad guys are doing ultimately makes more sense than what the good guys are doing. Just watching the second last episode now, the second seas...

Utopia British series as opposed to the Aussie fare by the same name. Verdict - Most excellent if not a touch pretty fucking brutal - like brutal in a way that makes GOT seems like a kids show. 9/10 Plot NGO called the Network set up years ago for a specific purpose and now operates as a law unto i...

I'm loving 10 - didn't have any real problems with 8 but now tons of stuff seems to work better now that I have upgraded to 10. Getting a connection to my TV for media sharing and screen mirroring used to be a bit dicey - now its rock solid. The integration with Xbox is infinitely better. Plus lovin...

So - I guess if you convert it out .. 59 USD is around 85 AUD at todays exchange rate - add 10% GST and it about the same.

Guess we're just gonna have to disagree on that. I loved the Big Lebowski, Oh Brother where art thou and raising Arizona. I really liked the Hudsucker Proxy but felt it was a little too Cute/quirky for its own good. Really didn't like "Burn after reading" but probably more so cos it was th...

That's a damn shame about Halo - I never got into the franchise at all but was planning on giving Halo 5 a go just cos Halo always had an excellent Split screen Co-Op/Vs mode - which barely any games seem to be making any accommodations for these days and I've heard from my 17 year old, they dropped...

^not a Cohen Brothers fan apparently

Could not get into Fallout 3 at all even tho literally every gamer I know just loved it - not sure why it had no appeal to me, I think I found how they configured the graphics engine annoying (Don't know if it was the lack of environmental shading or the animation or something else but all the chara...

Working my way thru a couple of other current series at the moment cos travelling is really getting in the way of me sitting down in front of the tellie - or even getting time to watch shows on my puter. Trying to finish off "Fear the walking dead" . getting current on "The walking de...

My View on the Coen thing - and I'll note that I haven't seen quite as many as you have. The best Fargo, The Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men,.Miller's Crossing, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Raising Arizona Great The Hudsucker Proxy,True Grit, Good Barton Fink Didn't get/like The Man Who Wasn't T...

I like Hemlock Grove snuff - more "Good filler" rather than compulsory viewing.
Only watched the first two seasons so far .. Really like Famke .. need to get round to watching the last season and see where this all lands.

why do you hate children?

This is very cool

actually now I'm just mad at people who don't follow rules. Especially when they then get away with it because of privilege. I'm all about following rules and it irks me to no end when people don't and get away with not .. it doesn't even matter whether or not it has to do with privilege or just co...

Its a more holistic view of the issue for sure but it also seems to imply that there isn't an actual physical component to addiction that feels wrong. I've seen people get off heroin before and there is a very real physicality to it that, in my anecdotal experience, is what makes for the greatest ba...

The law needs to be enforced. The population needs to respect the people enforcing the law. The people enforcing the law need to be fair about the way they do it and to respect the population they serve. There are faults on both sides and the dire economic situation at the moment is only exacerbati...

I have no idea where I would fit in with this analogy - Dolthraki?

Happy Birthday Island - was early on Facebook and late on this - balances out

Az, you bought a house in the hood? Gentrification much? [none] Yeah, so basically they did knock down a load of working class homes so they could build some nice shiny houses and lure the middle classes in. Gentrification ftw!! But I'm guessing (behind your security gates and the CCTV) you can't s...

I wouldn't worry too much - slow cooking isn't a precise science, generally speaking the longer you cook for, the better the results given the idea is the meat is cooked pretty early on, the length of the cook from that point onwards is to break down the connective tissue in the meat to make it &quo...

Another thought, will doubling ingredients increase cook time for a slow cooker? Sort of - it will take longer for whatever is in the slow cooker to heat up but once everything is at a cooking temperature it will take the same time to cook regardless of how much is in the pot. Its convection heatin...

I do feel that when you talk about gentrification in places like the States - you are not talking about the exact same thing as gentrification elsewhere .. I thought that might have been the case, but then Opiate has explicitly said "tough shit" concerning people being displaced from thei...
