Dusty Chalk Posted November 19, 2021 Report Posted November 19, 2021 Day 1 of this year's Progspace Online Festival -- some really great lesser known prog metal acts playing, have been enjoying so far, recommended if you're alright with fuzzy guitars and harsh vocals and complicated music.
Voltron Posted November 24, 2021 Report Posted November 24, 2021 I'm watching the news that three asshats have been found guilty of murdering an unarmed jogger in Georgia. Thank you to the jurors for being human. 8 1
swt61 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Posted November 25, 2021 First Georgia helps elect Biden, now Georgia convicts three White men of killing a Black man. I'm going to have to reevaluate Georgia. Way to go Georgians! 7
emelius Posted November 28, 2021 Report Posted November 28, 2021 The Peter Jackson Beatles thingy...VERY interesting to fans... it should definitely carry a Yoko warning...keep the remote within lunging distance... 3
Craig Sawyers Posted November 30, 2021 Report Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) 14 Peaks on Netflix. About Nimsdai Purja climbing all 14 mountains over 8000 metres. All in the Himalayas of course. In 7 months. Previous record: 7 years. In the process he broke 6 mountaineering world records. Stunning. One of these massive mountains he did with a stinking hangover! https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81464765 By the same production team that did Free Solo https://films.nationalgeographic.com/free-solo about Alex Honnold free climbing El Cap in 3 hours. Full thing on Amazon Prime. I defy you not to grab the arms of the chair and curl your toes for that one. Edited November 30, 2021 by Craig Sawyers 4 1
robm321 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Posted November 30, 2021 Free Solo legitimately terrified me. 1

The parts where they came upon other climbers in distress in the dead-zone are extremely harrowing. What a wild athletic achievement. I remember when that Everest photo went viral. To have hit some of those mountains at the precise window for the entire year is a testament to luck, but also to his skill and and the skill of his team.
EdipisReks1 Posted December 6, 2021 Report Posted December 6, 2021 50th anniversary on calibrated plasma? Yes please. 1
EdipisReks1 Posted December 6, 2021 Report Posted December 6, 2021 Holy shit fuck this movie is amazing. 1
EdipisReks1 Posted December 7, 2021 Report Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) The Shape of Water. I haven’t seen it before. I’ve been promised fish fucking. I had better get fish fucking.

I mean, I watched it. I’m an obsessive Beatles fan. Have the Let It Be set here (didn’t even have to pay for it*). I think Yoko comes off as a perfectly nice person who happened to fall in love with the most famous person in the world. There were no villains. Not even the cops who tried to shut down Rooftop. Edit; auto correct error. *they probably meant to send it to somebody else. Edited December 7, 2021 by EdipisReks1
emelius Posted December 8, 2021 Report Posted December 8, 2021 ^didn't mean to imply that she was a bad person back then, just a bad* sing(?)er... that one convo they had when her & John weren't there was golden... & I would argue that she's a bad person now... *what's the word for when you want to rip off one of your appendages just so you know you'll have something to beat them with?... 1
EdipisReks1 Posted December 8, 2021 Report Posted December 8, 2021 I have no idea what she is like now, and I agree she isn’t a great singer. I think that relationship was abusive, but it was consensual (and I think pretty much only went one way, abuse wise). I don’t know what the word for that is, but if you find out let me know! It’s one I would use. Did not actually get fish fucking in The Shape of Water. Honestly I think GDT looked at the Abe Sapien costume and thought “I’d fuck that; I should make a movie about that.” The version I have had scenes in Russian with no subtitles. I don’t know if that is in purpose, but the two main characters couldn’t speak, so maybe? I’m aware that I’m talking about a movie from several years ago, but I’m in my backlog.
blessingx Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 Had only seen clips. Plays a little differently in whole. 1
mikeymad Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 I remember watching this as a kid. I must have purged 97% of it. I didn't remember how god awful it was. 6
Voltron Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 Alden likes to play parts of that travesty for people because of how god awful it is. 😆 2
mikeymad Posted March 4, 2022 Report Posted March 4, 2022 I found a copy of a play that I liked a long time ago. Lemon Sky -- by Lanford Wilson Plot summary The story is about a teenager named Alan who has recently graduated from high school. He moves from the Midwest to San Diego, California, in the 1950s to live with his estranged father and his new family. Attempting to overcome the past, Alan is confronted with problems in his new family. Television film Wilson adapted the play for a television film of the same name on PBS. The film was broadcast in February 1988 as part of American Playhouse. Directed by Jan Egleson, the film starred Kevin Bacon as Alan, with Tom Atkins as the father Doug and Lindsay Crouse as Doug's second wife. Kyra Sedgwick, who met future husband Bacon during rehearsals, played Carol, a teenaged boarder: "pill-popping, promiscuous... who seems to spend most of her time with the US Navy." In his review for The New York Times, John J. O'Connor wrote that the film is "terrific", praising the "uncommonly fine performances". Casey Affleck made his screen debut in the film as Alan's stepbrother, Jerry. 3

mikeymad Posted April 22, 2022 Report Posted April 22, 2022 The Paul Young Radio Gaga moment of the crowd clapping is one of the greatest moments of a crowd completely locked in.

Freddie wasn't too shabby at Live Aid, either. And as I remarked to Joanne, both concerts were before the invention of auto-tune, so the singers could actually, you know, sing. 3

Better feed: Edited May 12, 2022 by blessingx 2
mikeymad Posted May 12, 2022 Report Posted May 12, 2022 Thanks Ric - I was not up for the live event. But also in my feed was a good veritasium vid. 1
