  1. No, do the rest of his movies also suck?
  2. Yeah but it’s a 1) bad movie that 2) takes itself seriously. Two hours of slow motion pseudo art shots insinuating character development and half an hour of finding out, and then a super weird tag ending. Massive failure to have neglected to mention this up top, it is #1 in the genre.
  3. I watched First Blood the other week, and then watched season 1 of Reacher. And I’ve realized that right now what I want to watch is movies/tv where people fuck around and then find out. That probably encompasses most of the action genre, but i think maybe specifically hunter becoming the hunted type stuff - someone minding their own business and getting fucked with and soon enough the people fucking around are finding out bigly. What are some recs? I just watched “Becky”, which is more of a thriller and kinda fits the bill. Enjoyable mindless “little girl annihilates white supremacists” kind of thing, which I like. I googled a bit and found “Man on Fire” - the Denzel movie is garbage.
  4. Yeah I’m not against simple - I mean really the hd-28 has very little embellishment and one of my favorite guitars is the ooo-15m. I feel like $2500 is where you start with all solid traditional tone woods, $3k is where you start talking about premium exotic tone woods, and $4k is where you’re getting into the “shiny” conversation. Although browsing the catalogue, maybe that’s 5. I suppose I’m thinking about this in the way they want people to stop thinking about this, but sustainable is typically also economical? I’m down with richlite but I don’t want to pay ebony prices for it. Martin does of course have a lot if 3 piece back experience with the 35. What is the flagship Taylor guitar? Or I guess, the flagship concert body Taylor? Would he really interested to play these side by side.
  5. My wife used to spend forever at DSW and I would play the game of “try to find one wearable dress shoe”. I think part of the woman shopping return thing is that they mostly buy shit they see on Instagram.
  6. Oh lol, negative. I mean I don’t do this for a living but it doesn’t make sense to me unless it is temporary https://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/new-models-2/GPCE-Inception-Maple.html I’m down with the sustainability thing and think this kind of thing is a good idea for Martin, but that’s more than an HD-28. For a maple/walnut guitar with no pearl at all. Don’t make it a budget guitar but who is paying that for this?
  7. Subtle shade thrown at Taylor “hear maple as it is meant to be heard, for the first time”. I wonder what the price point will be - if it’s Nazareth then I assume somewhere in the “not quite as much as a 15m” range.
  8. Martin been teasing something. Bet it is some heavily man made material thing
  9. This is the wrong thread for it but I was reading something about bands getting cancelled from the... I guess 2000s pop punk/emo scene that I was somewhat involved in. Specifically, Brand New got cancelled because he was basically picking up 16 year olds after shows and trading photos and stuff, and there were some similar allegations about Say Anything as well as Less Than Jake. And I just had this weird dawning of.... fuck man I saw so much of that. I read the Say Anything stuff and was like "oh uh yeah man I wonder if they are talking about the people i personally know who this could describe" or remembering seeing Rog from LTJ take some high school girls back stage, so much of that shit that didn't seem predatory at all (it seemed cool) when you were the 17 year old and it's weird to remember that again now as a 38 year old man and have it register how fucked up it is. I was 28 when we did Warped Tour and I wouldn't talk to any girls on the assumption that everyone there is 14 years old. Not that I'm so great or whatever because i wasn't really judging people who were less careful at the time but I'm glad I had better sense, etc/
  10. Wife has been in charge of toddler preschool lunches. Which I think is a fair deal all things considered, but it is apparently mental load, whatever. WIth the new baby, she's trying to get me to do more lunch things but is also having a hard time understanding that someone should "own" this and that if neither of us own it than it is not owned. I digress. Yesterday I was running around because our dog was sick (urinary stones, it turns out) and I had to take our niece to the airport (and go through security and shit, unaccompanied minor who had flown up to help us out and meet the baby, very fun). I took the 2.5 year old with me for that to keep pressure off of mom with the baby. Which I think is pretty generous, whatever - the thing I'm saying is that I was not playing xbox and masturbating when she said "can you check on the pizzas in the oven" (little crescent roll pizzas for this weeks lunches) and I went and looked and said "they are not done yet". What she understood from that interaction is that I was now in charge of the pizzas. Needless to say they burned and I was tasked with making the pizzas again. That night as I was putting the new batch of pizzas in the oven: Celery: "Is kiddo's lunch ready?" Wife: "It's in the fridge" Celery: "Ok, will it have pizza?" Wife: "No" How I understood this was that kiddo's lunch was ready and in the fridge and was going to be something different than pizza. What my wife was attempting to communicate was that it needed a pizza in order to be complete and ready to be sent off to school with the kiddo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so I just got back from the preschool to drop off a little fucking crescent roll pizza

  12. Yeah he really is a piece of shit, always was. Wrote some great songs. Honestly, even considering bands like Zep I think he’s the one that I most want to just be able to not think about how garbage he is and listen to the music.

  14. Noah K-word on the tackle
  15. Black Lives Matter Flag Rage Inside the Moshing
  16. just because it actually is on topic - if you had jury trials where only one side presented evidence and there was no cross examination, you could convince moderately intelligent people to believe some pretty insane shit. That is what the Joe Rogan show specializes in and is why guys like Aaron Rodgers are guys like Aaron Rodgers. There's a specific very common brand of dumbass who listens religiously to that show and eagerly becomes convinced that there is an actual lost city of Atlantis under the sea and not only is this true but you are stupider than them for continuing to believe in elitist mainstream facts and data. his show is presumably entertaining since it is highly popular, and so he converts a lot of these fairly dumb to moderately average people into rabid dipshits like pimphand.
  17. Frantically googling if there are flight records for Michael Berry’s RV
  18. Y’all should take it easy on htown - he feels the need to project so strongly because he is a child molester himself.
  19. I can’t decide if I’m able to enjoy Ryan Adams anymore, and I thought that maybe it didn’t matter after one of his recentish albums. However he just released three albums - I’m listening through Star Sign and it feels kinda vintage Ryan Adams.
