How do you watch movies? 1 2

Theater? TV? Thru the neighbors window? For us it is usually on TV, we don't rent movies or use Netflix, just what ever is on at the time. Last time I was in the theater was to see Dark Knight Rises and it was horrible, the sound was shit, the crowd was shit and the pop was flat... There is a drive in theater about 45 minutes away, I use to work at a factory next to it and we would sit in the parking lot and turn the car radio on an watch the movie once a week instead of working.

KISS - on their last tour

KISS has either started or getting ready to start their End of the Road tour. Suppose to be the last of KISS tours (at least with this lineup - read on) I'm not particularly a KISS fan, I dn't care for most of their song because I don't care for Paul Stanleys voice. But I do recognize the influence they have had on rock and roll. I listened to an interview a couple days ago with Gene Simmons, he said this was the last because he and the others want to end it to enjoy retirement and that if he wanted to do this forever he would join the Rolling Stones. He was asked about a rumor that KISS would continue with a whole new lineup once they are done and he said that this …

Movies you should watch.

Some of us are older and remember watching these movies, but not all of us are in the 30s and 40s and some might actually never have watched some very, very good movies from the previous century. Now, I know everyone here has their own personal favourites, but, despite this, I would like to see which movies you would be pissed never to have found out they existed and would recomend watching to somebody. Here is a list from the ones I remember on top of my head. I am excluding movies that have somewhat recentsequels that might have driven to the vieweing of the previous titles. And the list is in no specific order. "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" …

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) The Awesome: Whether you wanted one or not, we got a Han Solo film. All the characters we see throughout the film are just cool, like the ones around the Sabaac card games. The sets are pretty cool along with the props and the technology all around us. Just being in the Star Wars universe is always a fun time. We learn how Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) meets Chewbacca the Wookie (Joonas Suotamo) and it's pretty cool when it happens. The train heist sequence was very entertaining and really appreciate the filmmaker for not choosing the regulation shaky-cam and disorienting camera movements that usually rule those types of sequences an…

Favourite Cover Songs

I love a good cover song, one that takes the original in new and unexpected directions, so I thought I'd start a thread to share a few of my own and see what are your favourite cover songs, any genre, any artist. A galloping Iron Maiden style cover of one of my favourite Radiohead songs. Radiohead covering Carly Simon's brilliant Bond song from The Spy Who Loved Me. And perhaps the greatest cover song of all time, Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's All Along The Watchtower.

AC/DC is one of the best bands ever, Malcolm is one the best guitar players ever and has left AC/DC after 40+ years due to having dementia. I've smoked alot of weed back in the day and drank alot of booze while jamming to AC/DC. Hope he gets well, but with his illness probably won't happen. http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/120868/20141006/malcolm-young-dementia-ac-dc-guitarist.htm

Is anybody watching this? I have subscribed to CBS All Access to watch it. Unfortunately, that's the only way we can see it in the States. We are currently 4 episodes into the Series, and it is Dae different from any other Star Trek Series to date. I won't put up any spoilers, yet. Not until I know there are others watching this. If you are a Trek fan, then you should give this a shot. EU can get this on Netflix, I think. NA can watch the pilot for free on the CBS App. If there are any viewers, we can discuss the new Series here. Official Trailer

I won't claim to know who they all are but here is the list. Who do you think deserves it, who does not. Rage Against the Machine, The Cars and LL Cool J would be top picks as far as influence to music IMO, Judas Priest also. I don't know about Bon Jovi and Dire Straights though, I like them but don't see them as moving as some of the others Bon Jovi Kate Bush The Cars Depeche Mode Dire Straits Eurythmics J.

I got a fishingtrip coming up and need a few great tracks that I have never heard before. I figured you guys might be able to help. Do you have two fairly recent awsome tracks that I have not heard on the radio? It would be very appreciated if you would post them here, They do need to be available on Spotify, so a spotify link would be the best. Asking alot, but I have high hopes..

IN THE END THERE IS ONLY WAR! Hopefully there are fans of the WarHammer 40,000 stories, games, or universe here. It's an interesting story line where we fully encase gene-bulked warriors in plate armor like walking tanks to fight the aliens and demons that seek our annihilation.. 40 thousand years in the future. If you want to talk about aspects of the games/stories, or have questions about any of that nerd stuff, I believe I maybe able to chime in. Horn tutting time! I've read 36 out of the 40 Horus Heresy books. I knocked out both Ultramarines and Space Wolf Omnibuses. I have a small 1,500 point painted army of miniatures that I don't have time for thanks to the …

214Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Subservience (2024) dir S.K. Dale Yet another mediocre sci-fi / thriller about AI and human-like robots. Michele Morrone plays Nick, a happily married father of 2 young children, struggling to raise them and do his construction site job since his wife (Madeline Zima) is seriously ill in hospital waiting for a heart transplant. So he buys Alice (Megan Fox), an almost completely life-like home-help / childcare / cook / cleaner robot. There are other similar robots working in many places such as hospitals, bars and construction sites (adding an additional plot element). Without spoilers (although IMHO there really isn't much to spoil) it's hard to say much more. But “stuff happens”, somewhat predictably if you consider the situation of wife in hospital, very hot nanny / maid robot at home etc etc. What is interesting is Alice starts to deviate from what she has been programmed to do, there's tensions with respect to a former colleague of Nick's, and these both lead to a reasonable action style tense ending with fights, shoot-outs and car chases. But overall it can only be described as OK. If you want action then watch an action film with more action than this. If you want drama then watch a drama film with more a more meaningful plot and better acting than this. There's some holes in the plot for me. Other than the robots it looks like present day. There is no other indication that this has to be either somewhat in the future or set in an alternative higher-tech reality. Nick's wife needs a new heart; if they have the technology to make such like-like robots (i.e. one that looks exactly like Megan Fox) then surely they would have mastered artificial organs for humans. Some of the other robots are too lifelike. I can understand Alice's appearance since she is designed to live in a home, although you might want to make such robots a bit less physically tempting a straight male owner. But there's no reason an entire synthetic construction site crew need to actually look like the humans' they replaced. And also no reason for them not be working constantly (the scene we encountered these is when they have been locked away for the night). There's one truly ridiculous aspect for me, for which I have knocked off another point for stupid prudishness. It has couple of mild s*x scenes. In one you can clearly see the actors are naked but without any full-frontal nudity. At one point the woman's breasts are briefly shown, but she has no n*pples! They must have been digitally removed. Why!? It's got enough to make it a 15 certificate, showing a couple of n*pples is surely not going to change that! There is one interesting plot element, but I have to put that with a spoiler warning. 4 / 10- 1

Emilia Perez (2024) dir Jaques Audiard A multi award-nominated musical about a Mexican drug baron who always felt they were a woman born in a man's body. She fakes her own death and has gender reassignment, plus a lot of other plastic surgery, to start a new, better, life in a new identify. She is assisted in all this by her lawyer, Rita and tries to re-establish some sort of relationship with her wife Jessi and kids. Emilia is played by Karla Sofia Gascon (a trans woman) and has been nominated for best leading actress in the Oscars and Baftas. But I would say it is Zoe Saldana, as Rita, who is the main character. Both she and Selana Gomez, as Jessi, have picked up (supporting actress) nominations, as has the director, makeup artists, composers, producers, writers and others in technical roles. It could win all of those. I don't think it will, but I haven't seen that many films released last year yet. It seems to be one that you either love or hate. I suspect a lot of the hate is coming from people who are anti-trans and can't see past that aspect of the film. I liked it, the music and cinematography in particular. The acting was good, but I'm not sure if it was award-winningly good. I also think the script could have been better. It's just over 2 hours long but because it has so many musical scenes that, as is usually case in musicals, don't advance the plot the way spoken dialogue would, it felt to me like it ought to have been longer to fill in some missing details. The musical numbers were good though, sort of similar to a Baz Lurhman film, in that the actors singing them do not necessarily have a great singing voice but also with some scenes that just burst into a massive dancing and singing show that then goes back to dialogue afterwards. And a lot of it is not musical at all. There were a couple of cheesy scenes; one in-particular in a Thai gender reassignment clinic that Rita is checking out before finding the right one, did not make much sense to me. Maybe they were trying to say “this is the popular image of a s*x-change clinic, but in reality it's something far more serious”? Another slightly weak plot element is that Jessi does not recognise her former husband after the surgery. Of course that surgery has made some massive physical changes, that was the point, but even so, would you not pick up on some characteristics of a person you have been married to for years and had kids with? I can forgive that though, put it down to artistic license, in the same way I forgive William Shakespeare frequently making his characters unrecognisable to their friends and family just by doing their hair different and wearing a hat! 8 / 10- 3
