Different countries and lifestyles fascinate me so i was wondering.......what's the view from your window? I'll start with a rare day today in northern Scotland when it ain't raining! ......and the view from my old house in Sunderland (can't think why I moved!!). Yes, the neighbours across the road ALWAYS dried their underwear in the window. The plastic bag was a nice touch, it replaced the inner tube from the week before!

Just wondering what you all do to make money? My wife owns her own flower shop (florist) and I work at the shop as well. I do not play with the flowers though, I am the IT guy, maintenance, delivery, etc...... I grew up in construction, building houses then went on to being a machinist but I have no desire to do either anymore but being multi skilled comes in handy when things need fixed at home and work.

Anyone interested in space news? There are a lot of them now. The most talked about news right now is probably Perseverance. And weekly satellite launches. What do you think about the modern space industry? How close are we to becoming a multiplanetary species? Or should we put things in order first in Earth orbit? Or do you know about some cool projects that are not so well known?

Was looking for a place to share some screenshots from some random games and couldn't find one, so thought I'd make one. I did wanna put this in the other games forum, but I couldn't because it's not about one specific game, so I put it here as it seems the most appropriate place. Feel free to move it if it's not. Got a screenshot from a random game you wanna share? Something gorgeous, or funny, or weird? I wanna see them! First I have some shots from Spider-Man: Miles Morales running on the PS5, and New York is looking gooooood. You can't call yourself the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man if you're not friendly.

Thought it might be an idea to have a thread to keep track of what games are free on PS Plus for the month... Marches games for PS4: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered The Witness https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/playstation-plus/this-month-on-ps-plus/ Looking forward to CoD remastered, pretty sure we could fill a party with RSC members at some point this month.

OCDish Behavior/Rituals

So one of my neighbors who I most mornings arrive at the parking lot the same time as, I've noticed that he always unlocks his car 3 times. Found it quite interesting and a bit funny. He then hops right into the car and drives off right away so by the looks of it, it's hopefully not something that dictates his life. Just a bit ODCish behavior. That got me thinking if there's anyone on here who've odd things like that, rituals that has to be completed before doing something/sports/going to bed, etc.?

I know we have some Cat owners around here and one of the Internet's greatest uses is Cat photos. So let me see them 🙂 Here are mine. Casper (white) and Oreo. Both rescues found during Tropical Storm watches. Oreo is almost 4 years old and was abandoned by her mother in the neighbors yard. She is the typical Cat that doesn't really want anything to do with anyone unless she needs food. Strangely enough though she has been "fixed" but absolutely loves when I rub her belly. Casper showed up out of thin air. One second there was nothing and the next he was outside the door. He is only 6 months old and is growing like crazy. He is more dog than cat. Will…

Going of of @Sinister thread https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/19520-how-much-ya-wrench/, what is your brand of tool you prefer to use? For hand tools like wrenches, sockets, etc.. I have mostly old Craftsman tools, I have been buying some Kobalts lately though. While Snap On, Matco and S&K are great tools they are way out of my price range when the old Craftmans work just fine. For battery/electric tools I use Dewalt or Milwuakee, I prefer the Milwuakees, from the days of being a contractor we used those and Skil brand. Air tools, Ingersol Rand is the way to go, pricey but they last. I got several IR tolls when I was worked for Alamo Grou…

So here in Denmark we have a few traditions for turning 25 and 30 while being unmarried. At 25 it's pretty simple, you get a cinnamon shower. At 30 it's peber accompained by... let's say an artistic piece planted outside the house. It's most common with painted oil barrels (sometimes filled with cememt if your friends are real dicks) and then leave the birthday boy with the headache of having to get the shit removed . But it can also be other stuff. Last week I turned 30 and got this: Thankfully I live to rent so they showed kindness and gave me this small piece easy to remove again. Today we're a celebrating a mate and since he has his own prope…

After @Squirrel mentioned the strain on ISP’s with a lot of the world choosing to stay at home right now I quickly thought to my games collection and what I could play off line whilst itself isolating if we did start to see connections go wayward. For me I would probably go back toe Breathe of the Wild on my Wii U. I never finished it due to online gaming commitments and would happily boot this up again. What games would you turn to or recommend?

Here's the last thing I bought! It's mighty expensive at $1600, but it makes a easy go of a complex operation. Set it and forget it and keep a sponge wet it's about all it takes! All it takes is a 4-day dry and a 4-day cure. -

I agree @djw180 The Fall of the House of Usher is worth a watch for Mark Hamill’s performance alone. Plus, I’ve been on the fence about watching Kaos. I will definitely give it a go now. Thanks!- 2

263TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1

178Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
What I Watched This Week #148 (Oct 28-Nov 3) Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person dir. Ariane Louis-Seize/2023/1h30m Sasha (Sara Montpetit) is a teenage vampire who, much to the exasperation of her parents, refuses to kill as she has too much empathy, a decision that is slowly killing her. She meets suicidal Paul (Felix-Antoine Benard) and he offers his life for hers, but over the course of the night the two form a bond and find a reason to live. Deadpan humour and charmingly awkward teenage romance add a lightness to what is a very deep emotional drama that is more complex than it at first seems. This put me in mind of a strange mix between A Girl Walked Home Alone at Night and Napoleon Dynamite. There's a beautifully staged scene where the two listen to an old record and, without a word, nervously steal looks at each other for an unbroken three minutes and it has more depth and meaning than most films manage in an hour and a half. You really get the feeling that you're caught up in that dramatic first flush of love where you feel like Romeo and Juliet. The two lead performances are extraordinary, especially Montpetit, and the direction has a real warmth to it despite being set mostly during the night. I loved this. 10/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Jigsaw dir. Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig/2017/1h31m Most of the time while I was watching this I was thinking “have I seen this one before..? No. No, I haven't. Wait, have I? I have! No? Oh, yeah I have”. I think this is the eighth film in the Saw franchise, and by this point they all just kind of blur into one homogenous mess. It's a shame because I think the original is a really good, tense thriller with a great, if ridiculous, twist. 2/10 Terrifier 3 dir. Damien Leone/2024/2h5m It's Christmastime and, five years after the events of the last film, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is back playing Santa and everyone is on the naughty list, especially Sienna (Lauren LaVera) who bested him the last time they met. Not as long as Terrifier 2, this is still bloated and full of ridiculous bits of lore that makes the whole thing feel like a parody at times, I actually found myself invested in the character of Sienna here. I think LaVera does a decent job in portraying the trauma and PTSD she's suffering after the last film. Again, the gore here is very well done but so gross that it becomes banal. The best thing about this film, as is the case with the others, is Thornton's performance as Art who manages to be both creepy and funny. 4/10 Immaculate dir. Michael Mohan/2024/1h29m Sydney Sweeney plays Sister Cecilia, an American nun recently arrived at a remote Italian convent. Things take a sinister turn when she becomes pregnant despite being a v*rgin and she starts to think that all is not so holy at the convent. This religious horror doesn't do anything new and owes a huge debt to the likes of Rosemary's Baby but it does do a very good job of ramping up the tension and supernatural elements at a deliberate pace until it's ready to go for broke in the final act. There are a couple of unexpectedly gruesome moments that shocked me more then anything in the Terrifier films precisely because they are so unexpected. Sweeney gives a good performance as a true believer who must become a fighter in order to survive, and there are a couple of memorable supporting performances from Dora Romano as the Mother Superiour and Alvaro Morte as the charismatic Father Tedeschi. A well made, if uninspiring, thriller with a memorable smash cut to black ending, emphasis on the smash. 7/10 Joker: Folie a Deux dir. Todd Phillips/2024/2h18m This sequel to 2019's Joker picks up from the end of that film with Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) in prison awaiting his trial for multiple murders. While inside he meets and forms a relationship with Lee Quinzel (Lady Gaga), the two seeming to make the perfect couple. The first film was a well made rip off of Scorsese's The King of Comedy elevated by an incredible performance from Phoenix that didn't need a sequel. Thankfully this isn't taking the predictable route of charting Fleck as he wreaks havoc as the crown prince of crime but instead does something interesting and sees him try to face his many mental health problems while struggling to break free of his anarchic alter ego. This hasn't gone down well with comic book fans as it strays far from the source material, but not being a big comic book guy myself that isn't an issue for me. Phoenix is once again excellent, really giving his all in his performance. Gaga is also good and I liked how her character became a kind of antagonist in always pushing Arthur to be Joker. Brendon Gleeson has a supporting role as the lead prison guard and as much as I like him, and he does give a good performance with what he's given here, his character is too much of a caricature, one scene even implying that he and some other guards r*pe Arthur. Steve Coogan also pops up in one scene as a television reporter interviewing Arthur and it just came across as Alan Partridge doing a bad American accent to me. I haven't mentioned it yet but this film is also a musical - another sticking point for a lot of people – and I think it works well at portraying Arthur's mental state. I loved the moments where we go full fantasy and Arthur and Lee are singing and dancing on an old school style soundstage like a musical from the 40s and 50s. But I am a musical fan so I'm probably biased. Don't believe the anti-hype, not everything here works but it's going for something different and for that alone it should be commended, and I honestly think it's better than the original. 8.5/10 Piece by Piece dir. Morgan Neville/2024/1h34m Piece by Piece is a hybrid biopic/documentary about the life and career of musician and producer Pharrell Williams starring the man himself and featuring appearances by the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Timbaland, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and Justin Timberlake. The gimmick here is that the whole film is animated with Lego. This makes for a playful, vibrant and imaginative film that matches Williams' method for creating music, putting it together piece by piece until you have something new. This is also a very funny film, making full use of the medium and the absurdity of everything being Lego to make some hilarious visual gags. Being a family friendly film this does smooth off some of the rough edges of his story but I still found Williams to be an open and honest subject not afraid to discuss his shortcomings. I love it when the style and form of a film like this matches its subject – Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould and the David Bowie doc Moonage Daydream come to mind – and Piece by Piece does just that with its eclectic and imaginative presentation. 9/10 Strange World dir. Don Hall, Qui Nguyen/2022/1h42m Farmer Searcher Clade (Jake Gyllenhaal), son of legendary explorer Jaeger (Dennis Quaid), must go on his own adventure deep beneath the surface of the planet when his crops, which also acts as the planet's energy source, start to die. The plot here is quite simple but it has an excellent third act twist that I though worked really well and fits in with the environmental themes and message of the film. What works best here is the look of the world beneath the surface, populated by really well designed creatures that feel truly alien, as do the environments. Not quite as good is the family drama between Jaeger and Searcher and between Searcher and his son Ethan (Jaboukie Young-White). It's the classic case of simply sitting down and talking to each other would solve all their problems, but then there'd be no film. The performances are all good, with Quaid's bombastic 50s b-movie style bravado standing out to me. This won't go down as a Disney classic but there are some really good ideas here alongside some gorgeous animation. 7/10 @djw180 The Bad Sleep Well is the least faithful of his Shakespeare films, the other two are much more recognisable.- 3
